Fantasy football scout tips gameweek 4: Sergio Aguero, Sebastian Haller, Todd Cantwell and more

How many of our picks are in your team?

Sergio Aguero

Initially overlooked by many managers due to his lack of a pre-season, Aguero has reminded us all why he is a perennial fantasy assist with four goals in his opening three games.

Gabriel Jesus’ injury helps his cause, as does the visit of Graham Potter’s Brighton and Hove Albion, who are unlikely to be able to keep the champions out.

Todd Cantwell

For those who feel they moved too late on the Teemu Pukki bandwagon, there is still time to jump on board with his Norwich City team-mate Cantwell.

The youngster assisted Pukki twice in the win over Newcastle, before combining with the Finn to score against Chelsea a week later. Next up, West Ham’s leaky defence.

James Maddison

Leicester’s fixtures stiffen up considerably after the international break, but those seeking a short-term punt may be tempted by Maddison.

Called up to the England squad on Thursday, Maddison already has two assists to his name and comes up against a Bournemouth defence that rarely travels well.

Emerson Palmieri

With no defenders seeming capable of keeping clean sheets at the moment, it is best to look to those who offer something going forward.

Emerson appears to be Chelsea’s first-choice left-back for the foreseeable and keeps cropping up in the final third, much like his understudy Marcos Alonso used to.

Sebastian Haller

Tipped by this column before the start of the season, Haller came up with the goods last weekend to score a brace against winless Watford.

West Ham’s 6ft 3in focal point comes up against newly-promoted Norwich who, though impressive going forward, have leaked goals a league-high eight goals.

Honourable mentions: Tom Heaton, Lucas Digne, Kevin de Bruyne, Mason Mount, Ashley Barnes.
