FPL Gameweek 4 Results: Saturday's Top Scores And Talking Points

The call — GW4 Saturday round-up: Schade scores twice, Ipswich win at Selhurst Park, Arsenal shut out Sunderland Kevin Schade scored twice in Brentford's 2-2 draw at Bournemouth on 12 September. He played 90 minutes and took all three bonus points. That is 15 points — the top score of the day and the captaincy pick in hindsight. His owners banked it. Everyone…

Ipswich won 3-2 at Selhurst Park. Davis played 90 minutes, scored once and assisted twice — 14 points from a defender whose side conceded twice. Emersonn came off after 62 minutes with a goal, an assist and three bonus for 12. Two Ipswich players in the day's top five. Their owners are few. Their returns were not.

Hull drew 2-2 at Stamford Bridge. Belloumi scored twice in 59 minutes for 13 points. João Pedro answered with a goal and an assist for Chelsea — 12 points, three bonus, 90 minutes. He keeps delivering the returns his owners bought him for.

The clean sheets came from three grounds. Arsenal won 2-0 at the Stadium of Light; Raya took three bonus on top of the shutout for 14, and Gabriel added nine. Liverpool drew 0-0 with Fulham at Anfield — Alisson nine, Jacquet nine with three bonus. Spurs and Everton drew 0-0; Mykolenko took three bonus for 11. Salah owners got nothing from a home blank. That is a fact of the day, not a verdict on the player.

Aston Villa lost 1-2 at Villa Park to Nott'm Forest. Villa defenders returned nothing. Forest attackers did the damage away from home.

What the day tells you. Schade played the full 90 and scored twice — he starts for Brentford and he starts for you. João Pedro played 90 and returned again — he stays in any side that owns him. Ipswich conceded twice and still put two players in the top five; Davis at 90 minutes with three attacking returns is the cheap defender the day produced. Salah, Haaland-owners elsewhere, anyone captaining the template on Saturday — the points went to the two-goal midfielder few managers hold.

The call: hold Schade, start him, and if you own Davis, he plays. The facts from 12 September say nothing else.
