Gameweek 4 Review: Großartig Performance from Brighton Star

Gameweek 4 delivered a scintillating display of attacking flair and defensive solidity, with Brighton's Groß(free account needed) absolutely running the show. The German winger's commanding performance set the tone for what proved to be an action-packed round, establishing him as the standout player of the gameweek.

Groß's 17-point haul came courtesy of a goal, two assists, and a full 3-point bonus—a complete attacking contribution that showcased his immense creativity and clinical edge in the final third. He wasn't alone in delivering elite performances, however, as the gameweek saw multiple players register double-digit returns and a genuinely competitive fight for dream team inclusion.

Bogle(free account needed) of Leeds and Schade(free account needed) of Brentford both accumulated 15 points apiece, both securing their places among the elite performers. Bogle's goal and 3-point bonus demonstrated the kind of all-around impact that can define a gameweek, while Schade's two-goal haul proved the clinical strikers are finding the net consistently. At Arsenal, goalkeeper Raya(free account needed) earned 14 points entirely from defensive stability and bonus points—a reminder that clean sheets and consistent excellence between the sticks remain invaluable currency in fantasy football.

Ipswich Town registered an impressive duo in the top performers, with Davis(free account needed) contributing 14 points via a goal and two assists, while teammate Emersonn(free account needed) chipped in with 12 points from a goal and assist combination. Brighton's defensive contributions rounded out the elite tier, with captain Dunk(free account needed) grabbing 12 points and De Cuyper(free account needed) adding 11, highlighting how the Seagulls' backline provided consistent offensive threat from deep.

Hull City's Belloumi(free account needed) also impressed with a 13-point haul, powered by a clinical two-goal performance, while Chelsea's João Pedro(free account needed) secured his place among the elite with 12 points from a balanced goal and assist return.
