Reds in focus

Alexander Isak (£9.1m) was Liverpool’s top-scoring FPL player in Gameweek 3.

The forward added to his Gameweek 2 strike against Nottingham Forest with two goals and three bonus points in last Friday’s 2-0 defeat of Ipswich Town.

After a brace of assists for Isak at Portman Road, the price of Cody Gakpo (£7.2m) has risen since the last deadline.

The Dutchman is one of only two midfielders, and 11 players overall, who have yet to blank in FPL when starting all three games this season.

Gakpo has totalled 28 points so far in FPL – averaging 9.3 points per match – having returned a goal, three assists, a clean sheet point, two defensive contribution points and five bonus points for his owners.

Liverpool defenders will also have caught the eye after their first clean sheet of the season.

Ronald Araujo (£5.4m) made his maiden Premier League start and registered eight points in Gameweek 3 courtesy of the four clean sheet points, two defensive contribution points and two appearance points.

Goalkeeper Alisson Becker (£5.5m) bagged the same total. His four clean sheet points and two appearance points were supplemented by a bonus point and a point for making five saves.

Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) returned six points for his owners, while Jeremy Jacquet (5.0m) and Milos Kerkez (£5.4m) accrued five points as they received yellow cards.

Dominik Szoboszlai (£7.0m) remains the Reds’ most-owned FPL player.

Player spotlight: Isak (£9.1m)

After missing a large part of last season due to injury, Isak is firmly back on the radar of FPL managers.

His three goals this season is tied first for forwards in the game and he is also the second-highest FPL points-scoring forward, just one behind the leader.

Isak is currently averaging a goal attempt every 27 minutes in the league. He has had nine shots so far this season, all have come from inside the box and three have been classed as big chances. He has also created two chances for his teammates.

The Sweden international has already returned 23 FPL points in 2026-27 and is averaging 7.6 points per match. If he continues at this rate, Isak would achieve 288 points this term, which would be his best FPL season.

His previous best season in the game featured 211 points during the 2024-25 campaign.

Gameweek 4 deadline

The Gameweek 4 deadline is at 1.30pm BST on Saturday (September 12), 90 minutes ahead of the five 3pm kick-offs.
