Season 2026/27
Gameweek 4 Last Man Standing Picks
Honest picks, the teams to stay away from, and a bit of common sense for your survivor pool
Deadline
Saturday, 12th September 2026 at 14:00 BST
The Strongest Picks
Confidence ratings are editorial judgement, not calibrated win probabilities
Liverpool (H)
vs Fulham
4/5 confidence
safe riskFulham have lost all three. Isak scored twice on Friday. Anfield against a side on zero is the cleanest win on the card if you still have them
Arsenal (A)
vs Sunderland
4/5 confidence
moderate riskThree from three and a late win against Chelsea. Stadium of Light on Saturday night is not free, but champions away to mid-table is still a use if City and Liverpool are gone
Brighton (A)
vs Coventry
3/5 confidence
moderate riskCoventry have lost three and not scored. Away at the CBS is how you save Arsenal and Liverpool for later
Chelsea (H)
vs Hull City
3/5 confidence
moderate riskHome after the Arsenal loss. Hull have not conceded in three, so this is not automatic, but the Bridge is still the better side of the fixture

Stay Away From These
- Man City
Away at Old Trafford in the first derby. Even on nine points this is how last man standing ends
- Hull City
Unbeaten and clean sheets, now Chelsea away. The run stops here for a lot of people
- Spurs
One point from three, still not scoring, home to an unbeaten Everton
- Man United
Home derby against City. Draw risk written through it
If You've Burned Through the Good Teams
Crystal Palace (H)
vs Ipswich
3/5 confidence
risky riskWon 3-2 at Fulham last week for a first win. Ipswich just lost at home to Liverpool. A quieter spend than Arsenal on Saturday night
Everton (A)
vs Spurs
3/5 confidence
risky riskUnbeaten in three. Spurs have one point and barely score. A quiet away spend if the giants are already used
What We're Actually Picking
Liverpool
Fulham are on zero. Isak scored twice on Friday. Anfield against that is the one, and it keeps Arsenal out of a Saturday night away trip
