He blanked as the top captain pick last weekend but the experts on the Fantasy Premier League Show are keeping faith with Kevin De Bruyne (£11.6m) for the Gameweek 4 armband.

Holly Shand and Gianni Buttice believe the attacking approach of Saturday's opponents Leeds United will leave them vulnerable at the back, just as it did when Liverpool's Mohamed Salah (£12.1m) scored a hat-trick against them in Gameweek 1.

"Kevin De Bruyne is just so threatening," says Shand in the latest episode of the FPL Show. "Leeds' first form of defence is to attack, and that's going to expose big gaps."

Buttice urged managers not to be put off by Manchester City's 5-2 home defeat to Leicester City in Gameweek 3.

"Last week, it was a one-off," he says. "They played against a back five in Leicester, which didn't suit them.

"Playing against a back four in Leeds, with full-backs high up the pitch - Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas for Leeds will be really high - I just fancy De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling in that fixture."

Don't forget the GW4 deadline is 11:00 BST on Saturday 3 October.
