How This Guide Is Compiled

This GW4 guide is automatically generated from the official FPL API bootstrap-static and fixtures data. Captain picks are scored using a composite of form rating and inverse fixture difficulty. Transfer targets combine net transfer volume with form. Fixture analysis uses the official FDR ratings. Differentials are filtered by ownership under 10% with form above 4.0. All data updates every 3 hours.

Data sourced from the Official Fantasy Premier League API. Player and fixture information updated regularly from the FPL data feed.
