With three Gameweeks of the 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season in the books, many FPL managers have used their wildcards during the international break.
In this blog post, we’ll break down the top Wildcard squad for Gameweek 4, based on the Fix Algorithm’s point projections in the Assistant Manager tool.
We’ll also explore a "Three Premium" squad strategy featuring the Fantasy Premier League's top three players: Erling Haaland, Mohamed Salah, and Cole Palmer.

As the above image from our Assistant Manager feature shows, the Fix Algorithm favours the rotating goalkeeper duo of Henderson and Flekken.
As the above image from our Rotation Planner feature shows, rotating Henderson and Flekken affords a great run of fixtures over the next eight Gameweeks.
Alexander-Arnold is top for chances created amongst defenders this season (seven) which sees him make the squad with Liverpool's upcoming two home fixtures in mind.
Mitchell is ranked fourth for attempted assists (four) while Digne and Lewis have already registered an FPL assist each over the opening three Gameweeks. Budget defender Faes has already found the back of the net and is a useful bench option when needed.
As the image above from our Assistant Manager feature shows, the 'Optimal Player Rotation Strategy' suggests captaining Salah for three of the next five Gameweeks which means the Egyptian is a key component of the Gameweek 4 Wildcard squad. He is accompanied by Diogo J. to attack Liverpool's next two home games.
As the above image from our Stats Sandbox feature shows, only Semenyo (17) has taken more shots than Eze over the first three Gameweeks. Rogers also features ahead of Villa's great run of games over the next three where the Midlands side face Everton, Wolves and Ipswich.
With seven goals in the opening three Gameweeks, Haaland is an obvious inclusion in the squad. As the below image from our Stats Sandbox feature shows, the other two forwards Wissa (2.23) and Havertz (1.83) are ranked second and fourth for 'Expected Goals' (xG) amongst strikers.
Rather than rotating Henderson with Flekken, the Algorithm suggests going for a £4.0m non-playing option and playing the Palace shot-stopper every week. This frees up £0.5m to invest in attack.
The quartet of Alexander-Arnold, Digne, Lewis and Faes remain from the earlier draft with Robinson coming in for Mitchell to free up £0.3m. No defender has notched more assists (two) so far than the Fulham left-back.
Salah, Eze, Rogers and Winks remain but Palmer comes in for Diogo J. As the below image from our Fixture Difficulty Ratings shows, Chelsea have an excellent run of games over the next four Gameweeks. This structure allows FPL managers to retain a third premium asset that can be swapped to Saka, Foden or Son depending on fixtures.
Haaland and Wissa continue to feature but the primary source of funds for Palmer comes from downgrading Havertz to Pedro.
Brighton play Ipswich and Forest at home over the next two Gameweeks while Arsenal play Spurs and Man. City. Pedro could quite easily outscore Havertz over those two matches.
