While the international break will end soon, the Fantasy Premier League will return with its fourth gameweek. Another new gameweek with another new Fantasy Challenge. Here, we are discussing the FPL Challenge Gameweek 4.

Unlike Fantasy Premier League or FPL Draft, FPL Challenge brings the challenge of selecting a completely different team for every gameweek, according to a specific gameweek challenge. In the 2025/26 season, we have already experienced three different FPL challenges and are moving on to FPL Challenge Gameweek 4.

The PL 2025/26 Gameweek 4 has the schedule of the Manchester Derby (Manchester City vs Manchester United at Etihad Stadium), which will be played on Sunday (September 14). The FPL challenge for Gameweek 4 has a complete focus on the Manchester Derby. The details of the FPL challenge for the upcoming gameweek have been discussed below.

FPL Challenge Gameweek 4: Classic Rivalry

Double points awarded for players from Manchester United and Manchester City.
Up to 3 players per club.
Unlimited Budget

Also, another important thing is that an FPL manager can select players from any other clubs (up to 3 players per club), but these players can’t earn double points, which a Manchester United or Manchester City player can earn.

It means that if a captain has been selected from Manchester United or Manchester City, the player can bring a total of 4x points, while the other captain will bring only 2x points.

Quick suggestions for FPL Challenge Gameweek 4

As Manchester United and Manchester City are both struggling in defence, it is risky to pick any defender or goalkeeper from the team. Our advice is to avoid picking any goalkeeper or defender from the rivals. There are some comfortable fixtures for the fourth gameweek, as a manager can check our Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR) to find the in-form backs and a goalie with easier opponents to assure some crucial points.
Although the better suggestion is to pick fewer defenders along with the goalkeeper, if a manager is confident with the back, the manager can select up to three defenders and one goalkeeper.
Pick the better in-form players from the midfielders and forwards. There is no need to pick the midfielders and forwards only from Manchester City and Manchester United, but a manager should pick a few players from Manchester rivals, at least from one of these teams, to get opportunities to earn double points.
The managers can even avoid the entire Manchester City and Manchester United players, but in this case, they will miss the chance of earning double points from the players. However, a manager can still stand on top and even win the gameweek prizes if the selected players strongly outperform the combined strength of the top Manchester United and Manchester City players.
