"I think the key for Gameweek 4 is to stick with the Liverpool assets you have, do not buy or sell this week until the starters become clear. There's the appealing fixture of Burnley away, but there's no guarantee Isak starts in that game. He has had a disrupted August where he hasn't trained consistently or played any competitive minutes. He only played 18 minutes across two fixtures for Sweden over the international break and so it would be a surprise to be on the team sheet this weekend."
"I think it is too early. I very much doubt he is up to match speed, so why would Liverpool throw him in from the start when Hugo Ekitike is performing anyway. It is a perfect situation for Liverpool because they can just nurture him into the team and give him minutes and gradually build that fitness. To throw him into your Fantasy team would be ridiculous."
"Going forward, Isak will dominate in the number nine role, which could see Cody Gakpo and Ekitike in a battle for minutes on the left. Liverpool begin their Champions League campaign against Atletico Madrid next midweek, where they'll need this squad depth. Ekitike has had another 400,000 new owners ahead of Gameweek 4, having delivered three goal involvements in the opening three gameweeks, with only Mohamed Salah more highly owned from this Liverpool team."
Liverpool signed Alexander Isak from Newcastle for a British-record £125m but his starting status for the Burnley game is uncertain. Isak experienced a disrupted August, has not trained consistently and played only 18 minutes across two international fixtures, leaving him short of match fitness. Fantasy advice is to stick with current Liverpool assets and avoid transfers until starting line-ups become clear. Hugo Ekitike is performing well, has attracted many FPL owners with three goal involvements in three gameweeks, and will compete with Cody Gakpo for minutes as Liverpool manage squad depth for the upcoming Champions League match.
