The main topic of the video is providing Fantasy Premier League (FPL) transfer tips for game week four, focusing on popular player moves and their potential impact on teams.

Why is Maio Saka experiencing a high number of transfers out?

Maio Saka is experiencing over 300,000 transfers out because many FPL managers are moving him to Mo Salah, especially for free, to take advantage of Salah's favorable home fixtures and strong performance this season.

What is the opinion on transferring Saka to Salah for free?

The video suggests that transferring Saka to Salah for free is a great move due to Salah's excellent form and upcoming home fixtures against Aston Villa and Bournemouth.

Why might a transfer from Saka to Salah be less favorable if it requires a hit?

Transferring Saka to Salah for a hit is less favorable because it might not be worth the four-point hit, especially if you already have other good captain options like Haaland for gameweek four.

What is the suggestion regarding the transfer of Saka and Isak to Salah and Pedro?

The video likes the combination of transferring Saka and Isak to Salah and Pedro for game weeks four and five, provided Pedro is back from international duty and available.

What is the advice for FPL managers holding Saka for game weeks six and seven?

The advice is to consider bringing Saka back into the team for game weeks six and seven due to Arsenal's favorable home fixtures against Leicester and Southampton.

The video suggests that even if Odegaard gets injured, it would weaken Arsenal but not enough to ignore Saka for the upcoming fixtures.

It might be worth holding Saka for game week four because using a free transfer to move to a different player might not be as beneficial as saving the transfer for potential changes in the landscape in later game weeks.

What is the view on using a free transfer to move Saka to Cole Palmer?

The video suggests that moving Saka to Cole Palmer for a short-term gain in game weeks four and five might not be worth it, as the fixtures for Arsenal are not significantly worse than those for Chelsea.

what is going on everyone my name is

Andy welcome back to another FPL video

and this one it's transer tips for game

week four so I'm going to go through

some of the popular players being moved

in and out of people's teams and give my

opinion on whether they are good moves

or not so if you enjoy the video make

sure to give it a like and hit that

subscribe button and don't forget to

check out fantasy football hub for your

AI suggested transfers using the links

in the description below more on that to

come later all right let's start with

maio Saka who's had over 300,000

transfers out already this week and I

suspect a lot of those transfers are

just moving him to Mo Salah and if

you're doing that for free that just

looks like a really good move like

Arsenal have got Spurs away and City

away in four and five and don't get me

wrong I wouldn't mind playing sacker

against Spurs it's not that bad of a

fixture but obviously salah's got

backtack home games Forest at home

followed by Bournemouth at home and he's

been great so far this season a lot of

people just don't want to go without him

so if you're doing sacka to Salah for

free great move if it's for a hit I like

it less so especially if you've already

got Harlem because he's a perfect good

captain in gameweek four and you only

really need Salah for captaincy in

gameweek five but I still understand why

people might want to take a four-point

hit to get Salah in just because of how

good he's been so far like one

combination I've seen quite a lot is

sacker and isak to Salah and Xiao Pedro

I really like that for game weeks four

and five as long as Xiao Pedro is going

to be back and available from uh

International Duty which I think he will

be if he keeps his place long term even

though Brighton's fixures turn after

gameweek five he's still going to be

really good value the one one thing to

keep in mind is game week six and seven

for Arsenal you've got Leicester at home

and Southampton at home followed by

Bournemouth away you are probably going

to want sacka no matter whether you've

got salar and Harland or whatever your

structure is you're going to want him

back in so just think about how you're

going to do that for some people it

might be wild card for some people it

could be free transfers either way he's

going to be popular and it's going to be

difficult to go without him we did see

last night for Norway that odard went

off injured and he could be out for a

few weeks for Arsenal we'll have to wait

for confirmation on that that would

weaken Arsenal for sure but not so much

that I would just ignore sacka for that

little fixture run 6 to8 so just keep

that in mind if

you're just coming off sacka in one move

to a different player I'm not sure

there's many that waren using a free

transfer in gameweek four some people

might be looking to go to Cole Palmer

which I don't hate and he didn't go away

on International Duty with England but

he's been seen training with Chelsea so

I'm sure he's fine and look Chelsea's

fixures in four and five are better

Bournemouth away and West Ham away

versus Spurs away and City away for

Arsenal but I think in gameweek four in

particular is Bournemouth away that much

better than Spurs I'm not sure it is and

I guess similar to what I said in

gameweek three I'd probably rather just

keep sacker and save the transfer and

just see if the landscape changes game

week five onwards and you just might

have a bit more info and might want to

use that free transfer in a different

way and look Cole Palmer doesn't

suddenly become bad after game week five

of course not right it's Brighton at

home or Forest at home but that is not

as good as Leicester at home and

Southampton at home which is what

Arsenal have so I think outside of just

dodging that man City fixture in

gameweek five I'm not sure it's worth

going to Palmer just to go back again

again if it's a shortterm move for four

and five then you're going to Wild Card

that might work out okay but I think if

I'm keeping one player 4

to7 I think I'd probably rather just

keep sacket even though he's got that

that City fixure I'd rather just not

spend the transfers kind of messing

about with it and I'm sure there's other

kind of players that people are thinking

about maybe there's a downgrade

somewhere that you want to use the money

for a future week to go and get salary

in but I'm not a fan of downgrading a

player for money for another transfer

unless I'm using it that week so sacka

and eak to jedro and Salah fine if it's

like sacka to mina this week to then use

that money next week for a different

move again I'd rather just save the

transfer and something else might have

happened where that transfer could be

better you so there's no reason to rush

sacker out before Spurs but if you're

going to get Salah or maybe even Palmer

get it if you're not too sure about what

transfers to make for your team or you

just want a second opinion make sure to

check out the AI transfer suggestions on

fantasy football Hub so I'm in the my

team tool now and if I click AI

transfers at the top that will suggest a

few different moves for me so for my

team it's actually recommending that I

just Bank the free transfer this week

but it does give me an alternative

option as well which is to sell Pedro

paru for Robertson and you can see from

the graph on the right that I would be

expected to get more points but the AI

thinks that I'd be better off just

saving that transfer probably because

there's more interesting things that I

could do in the future instead so it's

quite nice to kind of get that second

opinion if you're not sure what to do of

your team and just in general the my

team tour is really handy to use over

the course of the Season automatically

it will show you all your players next

three gameweeks fixtures plus their

points predictions as well so you get an

idea of when you might have to move

players on you can also change that to

single game weeks if you prefer and just

look through the team to see how it's

going to look over the next few game

weeks and start to plan your transfers

it will also show show you if you click

the tab at the top your price changes as

well so when your players are looking to

go up or down in price which can be

quite handy so that plus the AI

suggested transfers and all the other

tools you've got over on fantasy

football Hub would help you do better at

FPL and if you sign up today there is

50% off on annual memberships but if you

just want to try it for a month maybe

you're on wild card at the moment you

can sign up monthly as well and just see

how you get on links in the description

below check it out today so as I've

already mentioned him let's talk about

eak next and I think similar to sacka

for those FPL managers with two free

transfers it might make sense to sell

him right especially if you're

downgrading to fund another move like

Salah or it could be for Cole Palmer

whoever it is that might make sense for

your team but if you've only got one

free transfer there's less need to get

rid of him I certainly wouldn't be

looking at my squad thinking isach has

to go at all costs because there's this

feeling going around that isach hasn't

been great and I think he and Newcastle

probably haven't played to the standard

that we've come to expect but isach

still away with a goal and assist in the

first three matches he's at 5.3 points

per game it's not that bad and Wolves

Away fulam Away next to are the kind of

fixtures where he might turn that around

and do even better so there's not many

players I would probably sell eak for

with' just one transfer possibly to Xiao

Pedro you could make a case that we VIP

switch at home and I think it's Forest

at home let me just double check yes it

is in four and five that Jia Pedra could

be a better option but again is that

worth it in one move just to get funds

for future weeks I'm not so sure the

other player that I'm sure people are

still thinking about is Watkins and I

spoke about this in game week three how

I wouldn't make the move I'd wait until

game week four at the moment Watkins is

yellow flagged I think he'll be fine for

game week before I think un Emery will

will clear him and say he's available

and look on paper Everton at home Wolves

at home IP Swit away next three is

definitely better than what Newcastle

have there's no there's no need to

pretend otherwise I still just slightly

worry about Watkins given what we've

seen so far like he hasn't made it past

70 minutes yet he's not gone away and

played with England either and they've

got Champions League between gamees four

and five so even if his minutes increase

for Everton it might not it's probably

not going to be like 90 minutes I think

that's almost unlikely at this stage I

just don't see it happening could he get

to like 80 minutes possibly but it might

be like 70 75 and then Duran comes on

again

so if I was free hitting this week I'd

almost I would choose Watkins over EAC

because of the

fixture but I'd almost want to see what

happens with Champions League

before before I make that move so so if

I had isach and the money in the bank

which I actually do to be fair and I

could make that move in one I still

think I would choose to keep eak and

just roll the transfer and just get some

more information from Aston Villa and I

appreciate I'm kind of repeating myself

a lot over the last couple of weeks that

save the transfer get more info and you

can't do that forever I understand but I

think with Watkins there are doubts

there slight ones right and I'm sure

youo re like I said is say he's fine and

Everton at home is good but I think I'd

wait one more week and just see if he

gets good minutes and then plays in the

Champions League and then is available

again for wols maybe you make the move

then but I think isak is just great and

he's cheaper as well and he's guaranteed

to be on penalties and his minutes look

better I I just don't know if there's a

need to make that move if I was on wild

card maybe I choose Watkins over eak I'm

not sure I do it in one fre transfer let

me know if you're thinking about doing

it in the comments below maybe I've got

it wrong but I just don't think I'd do

it so Dio J has started to see some

transfers out over 250,000 already this

week and I find it a little bit

surprising he was quiet against man

united especially compared to the likes

of Diaz and Salah and perhaps moving

forward they are the two Liverpool

attackers to go for but if you already

own jotter I can't see any reason to get

rid of him Forest at home Bournemouth at

home two good fixtures he's continuing

to start as the number will that last

forever possibly not champions league is

kicking up between game weeks four and

five maybe Darwin nun comes in at some

point but Liverpool playing so well and

Jor has been a part of that I don't see

him getting dropped just yet and so I

would just keep hard of him there's no

other player I don't think in that price

bracket or below that I would want to

sell him to this week I wouldn't even

make the sideways move of going to

someone like Diaz now if you're on wild

card I get it because if you're going

through Liverpool most people are going

to go Salah Trent and then one of

Robertson or Diaz and I think that's

fine if you're wild carding and dropping

jotter fair enough but for everyone else

it just feels like a really easy hold

all right let's talk about Luca de next

and I say that of a smile on my face

because this is one of those players

where there's almost Universal consensus

within the FPL community that you should

just never buy him and that he's an FPL

Troll And even if he's looked good and

the fixtures coming up are decent if you

put him in your team it will go wrong

either he'll lose his place he'll get

injured maybe he'll go off before the

60th minute ahead of a clean sheet

something will happen right that's

generally how people feel about him if

we try and look at it objectively he is

potentially a decent option moving

forward right and I say the word

potentially that is key there because so

far he has started all three games Maxon

hasn't come in we know that Moreno has

gone to Forest and lucad has played 73

minutes plus in each of the fixtures so

far and coming up the fixtures are

decent right Aston Villa is not

necessarily an elite defense EV but

they've got the fixtures to pick up some

clean sheets Everton at home Wolves at

home ipswitch away man united at home

fulam away bourou home I think the home

games in particular outside of maybe man

united all look pretty good IP which way

is not bad either and then F them away I

wouldn't expect a clean sheet but it's

not terrible so I think the fixtures

look okay the problem for me is we don't

know what Aston Villa are going to be

like around Champions League we don't

know how unai Emery is going to manage

players and rotation stuff like that so

it might be that Luca Dean's First

Choice he's only 4.5 million that sounds

great but then he's probably more likely

to play in the Champions League and

possibly Maxim will then come in for

some of the games in the Premier League

it's not a guarantee but it's something

that could happen and I just don't

know like Luca deine can be very

attacking right again we need to put

previous biases aside he's already

picked up an assist in the first three

game weeks if he continues getting

minutes the attack and returns will come

but I don't know if he's so good it's

just worth that risk about possible

rotation and it's boring but someone

like conzo or pow Torres if you want to

Target these Aston Villa fixtures is

probably worth going for instead and the

thing with Aston Villa I've said like

Bournemouth at home is in gameweek nine

so you are getting a pretty good stretch

of fixtures for quite a while even after

that okay Spurs away Liverpool where you

don't want to play a defender in those

games especially a 4.5 from Villa but

then Palace at home in 12 is okay okay

brenford at home in 14 is okay

Southampton at home in 15 is okay this

is potentially especially if you're wild

carding a player you could put in for

the long term can you guarantee that

Luca Dean is going to be playing all

those matches I highly doubt it and it's

not like a 4.5 million Defenders are not

necessarily where you want to be

spending your transfers maybe for

someone like Rico Lewis it's worth the

pump because the upside is potentially

massive with lucad I'm just not sure it

is and I am trying to forget about

everything that's happened in the past I

do think on paper there is potential

there I just feel like at some point

matson's going to come in and when that

happens it's just going to be a headache

of who's going to start every week and

it could be that it continues to be Luca

de and he's great just not sure it's

worth that risk so let's stick to cheap

Defenders and talk about Anthony

Robinson next who's had nearly 300,000

transfers in ahead of West Ham at home

in game week four now he's a player I've

got in my own Squad and I don't have any

intentions to sell him until possibly on

wild card so I think he fine but I don't

think he's necessarily anything more

than that and I'm not sure he's as good

an option for gameweek four onwards as

the transfers suggest like part of the

reason I own him is because I got him

for Lester at home in game week two and

nip switch away in game week three and I

was fortunate that I got an assist in

both of those games but I'm also

conscious that Fulham didn't keep a

clean sheet in any of the matches so far

and they're not a defense that I would

rate that highly and I look at the next

six game weeks and I'm not sure where

the clean sheets are coming from and

it's fine when you get two assists every

three games but that's not going to

continue and I don't think Robinson is a

terrible option I put him in one of my

Wild Card drafts last week he's nailed

on he gets into attacking positions but

I look at the next six game weeks West

Ham at home Newcastle at home in four

and five I'm thinking like cudas and

Bowen and Gordon and ISAC I don't see

clean sheets there then you got

back-to-back away games forest and Man

City not going to be ideal Villa at home

again Watkins Rogers Bailey if he's back

fit not sure there's a clean sheet at

home there either and then Everton away

in gameweek 9 is quite difficult as well

like if we look further than that

because obviously this is just a cheap

option you could bench some weeks

brenford at home in 10 is probably okay

Wolves at home is 12 in 12 is probably

okay as well I just think in the short

term like next four to six weeks there's

not a huge amount of clean sheets if you

want to put him in because he's nailed

and you don't have to worry about

rotation and stuff like that I think

it's fine and they are capable of

getting a clean sheet in in one or two

of these games but I'm not sure I would

put a huge amount of money on it to be

honest with you and also if I look at

the predicted points on fantasy football

Hub again just one of the many tools

they have over there links in the

description below as I said earlier and

I go to Defenders for let's just do what

what game weeks did I there game weeks 4

to9 and we'll price it 4.6 and Below

which is basically Robinson's price I

don't think he's that high up on the

list so first of all it's three Villa

defenders in the top four so Luca Dean

power SES then it's dunk third and K of

fourth then even Coleman at Everton

although I'd probably rather go for

mikeno then you got brenford Defenders

then Robinson so he's ahead of Dan burn

and Van heck but 19.2 points I just

think Villa are better like I know I

know we're only talking about a couple

of points but on a model like this over

six games is quite a lot so if you're

looking between Robinson or a villa

Defender although the Villa Defenders

are more boring if you're going to go

for palares or Konza I just think

they're better so I've got Robinson I'm

fine with him but I'm not expecting a

huge amount of clean sheets coming up

and I just wonder if this is the right

time to buy him I don't think it is

let's stick to Defenders and talk about

Pedro parin next who's had nearly

250,000 transfers out this week now I

suspect a lot of those transfers are

from Wild carders but when you look at

the fixtures it kind of makes sense

there's not a massive amount of clean

sheet opportunities for Spurs over the

next four game weeks is Arsenal at home

this week brenford at home in gameweek

five isn't too bad but I'm sure in Burma

own there's a more than happy to play

him against that Spurs defense then you

got United away and then Brighton away

in six and seven so it doesn't look

ideal I think it's fine if you want to

go without him in the short term I will

say though as a more long-term thinking

option I still think par is pretty great

like at 5.5 million he's cheaper than

the likes of vardal Robertson van djk

he's absolutely nailed on and he's one

of the most attacking defenders in the

league you'd probably put Trent above

him but not too many other players and I

tell you now as an owner that benched

him against Newcastle in game week 3 it

was not a fun game to watch he had so

many shots and could have come away with

an attack and return it's the kind of

thing you can do so even though I don't

see many clean sheets it's still going

to be scary to watch him if you don't

own him I think it's reasonable to go

without him like I've said but long term

I still like him like brenford at home

in five is fine you've got West Ham at

home in eight is okay Villa at home in

10 again okay ips switch at home in 11

is pretty good Fulham at homing 13 is

decent enough and some of these away

games are okay too like Palace away

Bournemouth away Southampton away I'm

not saying there's clean sheets in those

matches but there's potential there plus

you've got the attacking Returns on top

and he's a player that inless he gets

injured you just don't have to worry

about the starts and that that is

valuable in FPL especially when you're a

bit cheaper than some of those six

million Defenders so I think if I wild

card in six there's a good chance that I

would just keep par because after United

away and Brighton away they got three

home games in four West Ham Villa and

ipswitch and then Palace went and I look

ahead to that fullment game in 13 I

think that's fine and I don't really

need to think any further than that

because so much would have changed by

that point so if I was wild card in game

we four I wouldn't go out of my way to

include him but I don't think he's a bad

option and then game week six Wild Card

onwards I think par will be in most of

them so I think he's still a good

long-term option but shortterm we should

probably expect a little bit of a

reduction in his points output so Danny

Welbeck is proving popular again over

400,000 transfers in so far this week

he's had three attack and returns in the

first three game weeks he did blank

against Arsenal away in gameweek three

but fair enough right lots of attackers

blank against that Arsenal defense now

I've said many times this season I

prefer Xiao Pedro as the longer term

option and that is still true because I

think and look I might regret saying

this but I think Xiao Pedro is a little

bit more nailed on than people given him

credit for Brighton do have a ton of

options they could set up with something

like Welbeck or Ferguson as the nine and

then Rutter as the 10 for example but I

think jaia Pedro will just be First

Choice number 10 and if someone else is

going to play that role I think he'll

just play number nine instead so I think

nailon is maybe a bit too far but I

think his minutes are much more secure

than welbeck's are in that Brighton team

but as a shortterm option for four and

five I really like Welbeck Xiao Pedro is

currently away on International Duty

with Brazil their final game of this

break is played on Wednesday morning UK

time I think it's like half one so he's

not going to be back in Brighton

training to like Thursday or Friday at

the earliest and obviously they then

play on Saturday so it's a quick

turnaround now for what it's worth and

the minutes that Xiao Pedro is going to

get in that Brazil team I think he'll

still play and start for Brighton but

his minutes might be a bit more reduced

than what we've seen so far so as the

shorter term punt for four and five

playing as the N I like wellbe wouldn't

want to rely on him much longer than

that I think when Ferguson is fit he

could come in the fixures also get

tougher from six onwards they got

Chelsea away Spurs at home and Newcastle

away so maybe you'd want to reduce the

amount of Brighton players you have

anyway but four and five ahead of maybe

wild carding in six I quite like that

now I've got jaia Pedra on my team

already if I had two free transfers this

week I would consider sacker and isak to

wellc and Salah and just double up on

the Brighton attack it might not go well

they've got the fixtur to do it knowing

that I would then wild card in game week

six so short summary I still think Xiao

Pedro on penalties and better minutes

long term is the better pick than

Welbeck but I don't mind Welbeck for a

twoe punt and then look to get rid of

him after that so lots of defenders in

this video let's talk about yosco bardio

next just over 300,000 transfers out

this week now if you're on wild card I

get it because a lot of you will be

trying to put in Harland and Salah and

Trent and Robertson and you probably

don't have the space or the budget to

fit vardal in as well and at 6 million I

don't think that's too expensive for

what he can deliver and I think over the

season that'll be a perfectly reasonable

price but with the fpo landscape right

now it does feel a bit expensive

especially when Rico Lewis is continuing

to play so I wouldn't include vardal on

wild card if a bit like how I spoke with

sacker and eak earlier you're making a

two transfer move where you're selling

viio to get funds for another one fair

enough if it's a single transfer move

look maybe to get Trent in fair enough

possibly even Robertson as well cuz the

next four fixtures are pretty good for

Liverpool but I think for most people

you're probably just better off holding

him for brenford at home like it's still

a good fixture and you might not want

him for Arsenal at home and Newcastle

away in five or six but you can make

that transfer next week instead if you

want to longer term I actually like

gameweek seven to n for City they got

Fulham at home Wolves Away Southampton

at home but in the short term next three

it probably is only that brenford game

in gameweek four but I think you could

keep hold of him for that is it

frustrating that Rico Lewis is out there

for much cheaper playing very attacking

of course but if you've already got him

your decision moving forward is a little

bit different to someone that is is wild

carding so I'd probably look to keep

hold of him for game week four and then

reassess after that let me know what

you're thinking about doing with vardal
