Waiver Wire Gameweek 4
Here we outline our Fantasy EPL Waiver Wire Gameweek 4 targets that have 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players should perform well over the upcoming period!
Liam Delap (Ros 11%)
Prospects: After Ipswich had one of the most difficult starts to the season, versus Manchester City and Liverpool, the Tractor boys finally had a fair match up at home, versus Fulham in Gameweek 3, and banked a well earned point. Liam has started all 3 league games for Ipswich town as the lone striker and currently leads the Ipswich Outfielders in FPts (19.75) and FP/G (6.58), as well as being 2nd highest for shots attempted (4), only behind Hutchinson (5). These aren't glamorous numbers given the fact that more than 80% of his season tally came in Gameweek 3. However, it does bode well seeing Liam's ceiling potential. If Liam, the son of well-known footballer Rory Delap, is able to nail this lone-striker role, managers could be rewarded with the occasional attacking return from a viable FWD-3/4.
Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 1-2 FAB to get him.
Jacob Ramsey (Ros 27%)
Prospects: The Villans have one of the best fixture runs from Gameweek 4 till Gameweek 9, which makes owning their assets almost a priority. However, it was always going to be tricky rostering the right players, especially with the new format of the Champions League resulting in more fixtures being added to the club's schedule. During this 6 gameweek fixture run, there are 3 European games and an English cup game, so there should be plenty opportunity for players like Jacob Ramsey to start some games. Ramsey is not a direct replacement for the newly-injured Bailey, but he has definitely impressed off the bench in his last 3 league games and could just be building fitness, as he was subbed on-and-off in their Gameweek 3 match versus Leicester. During his cameos, Ramsey has been averaging just under 12 gPP90 (ghost points per 90 minutes), and even managed an assist during this run. If you're light on MIDs in your roster, then Ramsey could be a great MID-4/5 addition to your arsenal.
Verdict: I would use a mid-tier waiver pick or 4-5 FAB to get him.
Jan-Paul van Hecke (Ros 24%)
Prospects: According to our Fixture Difficulty Tracker, over the next 2 gameweeks, Brighton DEFs have the 2nd best fixture rating as they host Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest in back-to-back home games. Typically, Brighton DEFs are similar to Manchester City or Arsenal ones, where they don't score a lot of points outside of keeping a clean sheet, but with the new scoring change for conceding the first goal, you might have a better time with assets like van Hecke. The Dutch defender currently leads his compatriots in Interceptions (3), Clearances (10) and Tackles Won (5) and is 1 of only 2 players to have played every minute of regular time for the Seagulls. If you are in need of a DEF-4/5 for your roster, then Jan-Paul is a solid stash as an asset that has averaged just under 7 gPPS (ghost points per start) in his last 2 matches.
Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 1-2 FAB to get him.
