5 Best Fantasy Stacks for FanYield – Gameweek 4

Published on:

In FanYield, building the right stack can turn one play into a flood of points. But unlike other fantasy games, here you don’t just hunt for goals and clean sheets: you also get rewarded for duels won, interceptions, dribbles, key passes, ball recoveries, and more. That means the best stacks are made of players who are event machines — not just a striker and his defender waiting for a clean sheet. Heading into GW4, let’s combine projected goals, form, and the scoring system to highlight the Top 5 stacks.


1. Liverpool – Mohamed Salah + Cody Gakpo

  • Projected goals: 2.45 vs Burnley (highest this week)
  • Salah: offensive talisman + on penalties, Isak and Ekitike should convert his key passes into goals against a week opposition.
  • Gakpo: already 49.6 pts in 3 matches, piling up dribbles & shots.

2. Arsenal – Viktor Gyökeres + Jurrien Timber/Riccardo Calafiori

  • Projected goals: 2.15 vs Nottingham Forest
  • Gyökeres: classic No. 9 → 2 goals in 3 games, on pens.
  • Timber/Calafiori: They push up, score, and collect duels, interceptions, blocked shots. Arsenal is super dangerous from set pieces.

3. Newcastle – Harvey Barnes + Bruno Guimarães

  • Projected goals: 2.15 vs Wolves
  • Barnes: Slightly risky with low xMins and guaranteed starting XI spot but differential potential is massive. Direct winger → dribbles, shots, goals.
  • Bruno G.: all-action midfielder → key passes, interceptions, ball recoveries.
  • Even if Barnes blanks, Bruno still delivers steady floor. If Barnes scores they can be linked.

4. Manchester City – Erling Haaland + Tijjani Reijnders

  • Projected goals: 2.05 vs Manchester United
  • Haaland: pure goal machine.
  • Reijnders: hybrid midfielder → earns on key passes, interceptions, recoveries.
  • Haaland’s ceiling is unmatched, while Reijnders ensures your stack doesn’t bust with passing events. Risky derby, but high upside.

5. Chelsea – João Pedro + Marc Cucurella

  • Projected goals: 1.85 @ Brentford
  • João Pedro: Chelsea’s best fantasy scorer so far (51.3 pts, 2G)
  • Cucurella: he’s busy on duels, interceptions, blocked crosses, and can deliver with stack with Pedro.

Key Takeaways

  • Liverpool + Arsenal = safest Tier 1 stacks (projected to score 2+ goals and both sides have event-heavy stars).
  • Newcastle + Chelsea = Tier 2 plays; balanced stacks with high fantasy event volume.
  • Man City = Tier 3, high risk/reward; derby volatility, but Haaland makes it worthwhile.
