There was a lot of discussion among the Fantasy Premier League managers about whether they should put Erling Haaland (FWD, 15.2m) in their teams ahead of the new season, but that debate should be over after the second hat-trick for the Norway international in just 3 matches in the new season of the Premier League.
It was a lot of points from a Fantasy Premier League aspect of view, points who are very hard to cover with some other player, so, after the hat-trick against West Ham in game week 3, Manchester City forward got another price rise, and it is very hard to ignore the fact that he is playing in a strong form.
Many FPL managers would ‘love’ to see another price drop for Eberechi Ezehttps://t.co/4wl0Pu0Wah#eberechieze #eze #PremierLeague #FPL #fantasypremierleague

Arsenal did not win their match at home against Brighton, and it ended with a draw and a result of 1-1. The Brighton players like Joao Pedro (FWD, 5.7m), Danny Welbeck (FWD, 5.7m), and Kaouru Mitoma (MID, 6.6m) will be very popular in the coming days ahead of the game week 4, especially Pedro because of the fixtures against Ipswich and Nottingham Forest at home.
Notable is the fact that Kai Havertz (FWD, 8.1m) and Bukayo Saka (MID, 10.1m) had a great start in the new season for Arsenal, as the first scored the goal and the other assisted.
Jota (MID, 7.6m) is listed as a midfielder, but he is playing as a center forward for Liverpool. It was the same case in the win of 0-3 against Manchester United away, but he did not get another attacking return, and Luis Diaz (MID, 7.6m) stole the show with 2 goals and another fantastic 15 points behind his name after his 14 points in the previous game week. Ahead of the match against Brentford at home, we should keep an eye on him more and more, and we would add the fact that he almost has double points than Jota in this moment.
We should not discuss Mohamed Salah (MID, 12.6m) for sure, as he proved that he ‘loves’ to play at ‘Old Traford’ after his one goal and two assists in this win.
Everton are in a big problem after their third defeat in a row, as they had a lead of 2-0 at home against Bournemouth and lost their match with 2-3 in the late drama at ‘Goodison Park’. Obviouysly is the fact that Dominic Calvert-Lewin (FWD, 5.9m) played a great match, as he scored one goal and provided one assist with 12 points from this match, and his run of the fixtures after the match against Aston Villa in game week 4 is promising, no doubt about that, but in general, we would avoid Everton players in this moment.
Noni Madueke (MID, 6.5m) disappoints. He was the most transferred player ahead of game week 3 and started the match against Crystal Palace at home (1-1), but his performances were not good. Moment of a ‘luck’, or moment of a ‘inspiration’ in the match against Wolverhampton previously where he scored a hat-trick? We will see in the coming game weeks, but it is possible that it was just a moment, as Cole Palmer (MID, 10.6m) proved his worth by providing an assist in the match against Crystal Palace, getting another attacking return. Important to add: the first attacking return of the season for Eberechi Eze (MID, 6.9m), as he also got 3 bonus points, for a total of 10 points in general.
Notable is the first goal in the season for Alexander Isak (FWD, 8.4m) for Newcastle against Tottenhem. The Sweden international with his goal helped his team to win with 2-1, and he got the additional 3 bonus points from this match and ended it with a great score of 9 points, which is great. More to come for Isak?
Now, let’s wait for the international break, have some pause, and keep an eye on the internationals ahead of our decisions for the game week 4 next week.
