FPL: Best and Worst Performers of Gameweek 4 – Buy or Sell
Ivan Toney (Brentford) – £6.4m
With just 1 goal to show for in his first 4 fixtures, Ivan Toney has been a bit of a let-down for FPL managers this season – only registering 12 FPL points in this time.
Brentford have scored just 1 goal in their last 3 games, indicating that they have been struggling to find the back of the net. In fact, they have been more impressive in defence than attack – only conceding 2 goals in their first 4 games.
With the forward slot being a precious one currently in FPL, there is little point in holding onto assets that are underperforming. With Wolves, Liverpool, West Ham, Chelsea and Leicester in their next 5 games, it will only get tougher for Brentford to score.
Keeping this in mind, it is probably the sensible play to remove Toney either this week or next – if possible. There is a range of budget forward options with much better fixtures, who will likely do better in this upcoming period.

This includes Adam Armstrong (£6.0m), Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.5m), or even new Crystal Palace signing Odsonne Edouard (£6.5m) – who scored a brace off the bench against Tottenham this week!
