FPL Gameweek 4 Results: Sunday's Top Scores And Talking Points
The call — GW4, 13 September: Brighton put five past Coventry. Groß scored 17 points. Coventry 0, Brighton 5. Pascal Groß played 90 minutes, scored once, assisted twice and took maximum bonus. Seventeen points. He was the top scorer of the day and the captain pick in hindsight.
The returns did not stop with him. Dunk scored and banked 12. De Cuyper played 90, assisted, took two bonus and finished on 11. Kostoulas scored, assisted and returned 10 in 83 minutes. Ayari and Yalcouyé both scored — eight points each. Verbruggen kept the clean sheet for eight. Six Brighton players returned eight points or more from one fixture. That is a squad-wide haul, not a one-man show.
The other match: Man Utd 0, Man City 1. Haaland scored the goal, played 90 minutes, took two bonus and finished on eight. He has done the one thing his owners ask of him — a goal at Old Trafford. Gvardiol assisted and took three bonus for 11. Matheus Nunes played 90 in the clean sheet for nine. City shut out United away from home. That is a defensive return with receipts.
What the day tells you:
Brighton. Five goals, a clean sheet, and returns spread across defence, midfield and attack. Groß leads the case — goal involvement in three of the five, plus bonus. De Cuyper is the defender pick of the two full returns: assist, bonus, clean sheet, 90 minutes. If you own any of them, they start. If you own none, Groß is the one the scoreline points at.
Man City. Haaland scored again. He played every minute. Gvardiol and Nunes both completed 90 behind a shutout. The facts on City's defence are straightforward: they kept United to nil away.
The call is the one the day forces. Haaland played 90 and scored — he starts and he keeps the armband until someone takes it off him. Groß delivered a goal, two assists and three bonus — he starts every week you own him, and if you don't, he is the buy from this round. Brighton's returners all stay in your XI. No hedging required.
