The Premier League returns after two weeks of international football as the fans gear up for another round of crucial matches. Last Word on Football brings you three forwards who should feature in your Gameweek 4 squad, with the FPL deadline set for 11:00 AM BST on September 14.
Three Forwards to Transfer in for FPL Gameweek 4
Erling Haaland (£15.2m)
The most in-form player in the league right now is Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has bagged seven goals, including two hattricks, and has won bonus points in all three fixtures of the new season.

67% of FPL teams have picked up Haaland, underlining the faith that the masses have in his goal-scoring prowess. Thanks to a depleted Brentford defence, he shouldn’t have much difficulty increasing his goals tally. The Bees might miss out on Kristoffer Ajer due to an ankle injury. The Manchester City forward will surely be a handful for the opposition as he looks to get on the scoresheet.
Alexander Isak (£8.5m)
Alexander Isak is among the few in the league who can be described as a complete forward. This makes him a threat to any team, irrespective of the tactics they deploy.

The Swede opened his account for the season last week against Tottenham Hotspur after he scored the winning goal in the 78th minute. Against Wolverhampton Wanderers, he can be expected to carry on his form. Against Chelsea, Wolves were troubled by Noni Madueke’s pace; Newcastle have enough pace in Isak and Anthony Gordon to trouble their opponents this weekend.
Staying injury-free is a major issue that Isak has faced during his time at Newcastle United, but when fit and thrown on the pitch, he has proven to be a defender’s worst nightmare.
Eddie Nketiah (£5.9m) – A Cost-Effective Option for Gameweek 4
Eddie Nketiah joined Crystal Palace after being frustrated by a lack of game time at Arsenal. The Englishman adds more threat to his new team’s attack and will get enough minutes to prove his worth.

Nketiah is excellent inside the penalty box and aggressively presses the opposition keepers and defenders. He has sharp instincts in front of the goal as witnessed from his time at Arsenal. The £30 million striker is valued highly by the Eagles’ hierarchy and should easily bag a goal or an assist against Leicester City on Saturday if given the chance to play.
