Fantasy Premier League, Week Four: Hillbilly F.C. jumps into first place with 155 points, leading PoloXI at 153 and FC Gallifrey at 150. Week 3's dream team was led by Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson, who scored a hat trick and had a 17-point week (owned by 2% a week ago and 13% now). The most popular acquisition is Leicester City midfielder Riyad Mahrez, who already has 35 points (£6.0m cost). Roster moves must be in by 6:45 a.m. Saturday, an hour before Newcastle/Arsenal kicks off the early game.
I benched Aaron Creswell just in time for him to score 12 in West Ham's demolition of Liverpool and acquired Tim Howard so he could score another 11 on my bench.
But the Creswell move only was to make room in the starting lineup for Swansea's Bafetimbi Gomis, who scored 7 and looks like the real deal. He's a mad scrambler around the box and has an epic goal celebration.

I had my best week with 59 points thanks to Sagna's two assists. I'm thinking about Mahrez given ... Milner, Hazard, Puncheon, Cazorla, thanks for playing 90 minutes, but not much else. At least my forwards Wilson, Vardy and Pelle scored.
Let's see how we do in two weeks ... international break this weekend.
BTW, Crystal Palace, Leicester and Swansea are 2-3-4; Chelsea is 13th and Spurs are 16th. It's a beautiful thing.
