Zubimendi's Unlikely Windfall
Gameweek 4 Wrapped
Another gameweek done. Seventeen goals across six matches, with Brentford's 2-2 draw against Chelsea providing the week's most entertaining subplot. The headline acts, though, belonged to the traditional heavyweights: Tottenham, Arsenal, and Manchester City all won 3-0, combining for six goals and establishing themselves as the division's early pace-setters.
Tottenham's demolition of West Ham set the tone early. Van de Ven opened the scoring from a Romero assist, before Bergvall doubled the lead and added a second assist for P.M.Sarr's third. It was the kind of performance that makes West Ham's current position at the foot of the table feel less like misfortune and more like inevitability. Arsenal followed suit against Nottingham Forest, with Zubimendi's two goals and Gyökeres adding a third, whilst Manchester City's 3-0 win over Manchester United saw Foden and Haaland (twice) settle the Manchester derby with clinical efficiency. Bournemouth's 2-1 victory over Brighton, courtesy of Semenyo and Scott, offered a rare moment of competitive tension, though Brentford's draw with Chelsea proved the week's most intriguing result: Schade and Carvalho's goals cancelled out Palmer's opener, leaving both sides with a point neither particularly wanted. Across The Premier Pundits, managers averaged 72 points, a respectable haul that masked significant variation in how they navigated the week's opportunities.
The captaincy proved a study in consensus and compromise. Three managers captained Haaland, each collecting 4 points from his two goals, whilst three others backed Salah for identical returns. One manager each gambled on Ekitiké (2 points) and Gyökeres (4 points), suggesting a league-wide reluctance to deviate from the obvious choices. Haaland's captaincy, despite his brace, returned only 4 points because his base score of 2 points was doubled. It's a reminder that even the season's most prolific finisher can disappoint when captained, particularly when the underlying fixture difficulty favours other assets. The spread of captaincy decisions reflected a league unwilling to take genuine risks, preferring the safety of established names over the potential upside of differentials.
Bench management revealed the week's most striking divergence. Nathan McBannister left 24 points unused on his bench, an extraordinary waste that nonetheless didn't prevent him from posting the week's highest score of 86 points. His wildcard activation clearly delivered squad depth, with Lacroix contributing 11 bench points and others providing cover that offset poor captaincy choices. At the opposite end, Tom Anderson's bench yielded just 3 points, a lean proposition that reflected either aggressive playing strategy or squad construction that left little room for error. The 21-point gap between McBannister's bench and Anderson's illustrated how dramatically bench management can swing a gameweek, even when starting XI performance remains relatively consistent. Most managers clustered around 9 points on the bench, suggesting a league-wide acceptance of modest bench returns as the cost of fielding competitive starting elevens.
Tom Anderson's transfer activity painted a cautionary portrait of panic-driven tinkering. Fifteen transfers across the gameweek represented more than double the league average of 0.9, a frenetic approach that backfired spectacularly. His sale of Semenyo, who finished with 13 points courtesy of a goal and assist, in favour of P.M.Sarr (1 point) cost him 18 points in direct comparison. The broader pattern of his moves suggested a manager chasing form rather than building strategy, a distinction that separated the league's successful operators from those left scrambling. Nathan McBannister's wildcard, by contrast, appeared carefully constructed, with his 81-point gameweek score suggesting thoughtful squad assembly rather than reactive desperation. James Davies found rare value in Muñoz's 14-point haul, a differential that rewarded contrarian selection in a week dominated by consensus picks. The mid-table pack averaged 72 points, clustering tightly around the league mean and suggesting that differentiation came not from volume of transfers but from the quality of individual decisions.
Arsenal's 3-0 win extended their unbeaten run and keeps them atop the table with 28 points, ahead of Liverpool on 26 and Tottenham on 25. The title race remains genuinely open, with only three points separating the top three and no team having established genuine separation. West Ham's continued struggles at the bottom, now on 8 points, contrast sharply with Tottenham's upward trajectory, a gap that will likely widen as the season progresses.
Gameweek 5 brings Liverpool versus Everton, a Merseyside derby that carries genuine stakes given Liverpool's position in the title race. Brighton face Tottenham in a fixture that will test whether Spurs' early form proves sustainable, whilst Manchester United's trip to Chelsea offers a chance for redemption after their 3-0 hammering. Burnley's visit to Nottingham Forest pits two struggling sides against each other, with the loser facing mounting pressure as the season enters its critical phase. The fixture list offers no obvious rest periods, with midweek congestion likely to influence team selection and create opportunities for managers willing to back rotation risks. Managers should monitor squad news closely, particularly for sides facing back-to-back fixtures, as rotation patterns often reward those prepared to move early.
