Best FPL Midfielders GW4 Premier League 2025-26

We are here with our best Gameweek 4 FPL Midfielder Picks for this Week. With FPL Gameweek 4 approaching, Fantasy Premier League managers will be assessing which midfielders can deliver big returns this weekend. Fixture difficulty, current form and attacking involvement are all crucial factors when making transfers, and there are several midfielders who stand out ahead of the latest round of fixtures.


Scroll down below to find out our top five best FPL midfielders to buy for Gameweek 4.


1. Cole Palmer — £9.6m

Cole Palmer was disappointing in Chelsea's defeat against Arsenal, but FPL managers shouldn't be too quick to lose faith in one of the league's most explosive attackers.


Chelsea face Hull City at home in Gameweek 4, which looks like the perfect fixture for Palmer to return to his goalscoring ways. Chelsea should dominate possession and create plenty of opportunities against a Hull side expected to defend deep for long periods.


That should give Palmer plenty of chances to get involved around the penalty area. His ability to score, assist and produce bonus points also gives him one of the highest ceilings among midfielders this week.


Considering the fixture, Palmer has huge potential for a massive FPL haul and could quickly make up for his disappointing Gameweek 3 performance.


2. Morgan Rogers — £7.6m

Morgan Rogers is arguably the best alternative to Palmer for managers who want Chelsea attacking coverage without spending £9.6m.


Rogers was Chelsea's best attacker against Arsenal and has been brilliant since joining the Blues. His performances have made him an increasingly attractive FPL option, particularly at a price that is £2m cheaper than Palmer.


That £2m saving could prove extremely valuable for managers looking to strengthen another position in their squad.


Chelsea's favourable home fixture against Hull also means Rogers should have plenty of opportunities to produce attacking returns. While Palmer remains the premium Chelsea option, Rogers offers an excellent combination of form, fixture and value.


For managers who don't prefer Palmer's price, Rogers is arguably the ideal alternative.


3. Martin Ødegaard — £6.6m

Martin Ødegaard produced one of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt during the victory against Chelsea and looks to be in sensational form heading into Gameweek 4.


At just £6.6m, the Norwegian looks like a bargain in his current form. Players of Ødegaard's calibre rarely come with such an attractive FPL price tag, particularly when they are producing influential performances for one of the Premier League's strongest teams.


Arsenal travel to Sunderland this weekend, and while it isn't necessarily the easiest fixture on paper, the Gunners should have plenty of possession and attacking opportunities.


Ødegaard's creativity and ability to influence matches from midfield give him multiple routes to returns. If Arsenal dominate as expected, he could be one of the standout midfield bargains of Gameweek 4.


4. Dominik Szoboszlai — £7.0m

Cody Gakpo was our original Liverpool pick for Gameweek 4, but his uncertain injury status makes him a risky option. As the best alternative, Dominik Szoboszlai stands out as an excellent FPL choice at £7.0m.


The Hungarian has made a strong start to the Premier League campaign under Iraola and continues to offer attacking potential from midfield. His ability to contribute goals and assists, combined with Liverpool's attacking quality, gives him plenty of upside.


Liverpool welcome Fulham to Anfield this weekend, with the visitors struggling for defensive consistency. The fixture presents an excellent opportunity for Liverpool's midfielders to get forward and create chances.


With Szoboszlai likely to play an important role in Liverpool's attack, his £7.0m price makes him an appealing replacement for Gakpo and a strong differential for Gameweek 4.


5. Antoine Semenyo — £8.4m

Antoine Semenyo is the high-risk, high-reward option on this list.


Manchester United have made a shocking start to their Premier League campaign, and if their performance against Manchester City is anything like the one they produced against Everton last week, Semenyo could be in line for a huge Gameweek 4 haul.


The Man City attacker has the pace, physicality and attacking threat to cause problems for a vulnerable United defence. While this fixture carries more risk than some of the other options on this list, that also gives Semenyo enormous upside.


A double-digit FPL return is certainly within the realms of possibility if Man City can exploit United's defensive weaknesses.


For managers chasing a differential or looking to make up ground in their mini-leagues, Semenyo could be a fascinating gamble.


Best FPL Midfielders for Gameweek 4

There are plenty of attractive midfield options ahead of Gameweek 4, but Palmer, Rogers, Ødegaard, Gakpo and Semenyo all stand out for different reasons.


Palmer offers the highest-ceiling premium option, Rogers provides Chelsea coverage at a discount, Ødegaard looks like a bargain in his current form, Gakpo combines excellent form with a dream fixture, while Semenyo offers the potential for a huge differential haul.
