A second London derby of the season is on the agenda for West Ham United in Fantasy Gameweek 4, as they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to London Stadium on Saturday for our eagerly anticipated showdown under the lights.
The Hammers put in a stunning display at Nottingham Forest prior to the international break to record their first victory of the Premier League season and a first three-point haul in the top-flight at the City Ground since 1996, which rewarded several FPL managers with healthy points hauls.
With confidence high in the West Ham camp, this weekend’s clash represents a great opportunity for Graham Potter’s players to build momentum, and that makes several players worthy Fantasy Premier League (FPL) picks in east London.
The squad is full of individuals looking to provide the touch of magic required to make the difference on the day, meaning there are a number of decisions to be made in the lead-up to kick-off.
The Gameweek 4 transfer deadline is set for 11am on Saturday 13 September ahead of a mouth-watering feast of weekend action.
While we will be giving you FPL tips and tricks throughout the remainder of the 2025/26 season on whufc.com, see below for some of our picks for the upcoming round.

Summerville to shine again?
Imagine how many goals and assists Crysencio Summerville (£5.5m) might have provided already in Claret and Blue had he not suffered his hamstring injury against Aston Villa in January.
When the 23-year-old marked his return from an almost eight-month injury at Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 3, with the game seemingly petering out for a 0-0 draw, no one could’ve quite envisaged him coming on and making the game-changing impact that he did from the substitutes’ bench.
Summerville came off the bench to assist Jarrod Bowen’s (£7.8m) opener on 84 minutes, then won the Hammers a penalty after being brought down by Ibrahim Sangaré two minutes later, leading to a seven-point haul.
So, after an instant impact off the bench, Summerville may be rewarded with a start against the Lilywhites at London Stadium on Saturday.
Diouf to continue to deliver?
An unsurprisingly popular man among Fantasy managers is El Hadji Malick Diouf (£4.5m), who regularly bombs forward down the left flank and frequently takes up threatening positions in the final third, and he has already proven himself as a great differential in 2025/26.
The Senegalese left-wing back, who is now second in the entire West Ham United FPL ranks with 14 points, only behind Lucas Paquetá (£5.9m) (21), recorded an impressive ten-point haul against Nottingham Forest, where he assisted Callum Wilson (£5.9m), kept a clean sheet and achieved one bonus point for his defensive contributions, which saw him reward many FPL managers.
Diouf, a strong prospect at both ends of the pitch, provides exceptional value for money in FPL against Spurs.
New signings to make an instant impact?
Midfielder Mateus Fernandes (£5.5m) played a key role in our thrilling 3-0 Premier League win over Nottingham Forest on his West Ham debut just two days after signing for the Club.
The Portuguese covered ground with real intensity, dominating ground duels in advanced zones or deeper defensive blocks, and contributed a total of 34 touches, 23 passes and three tackles during his 82 minutes on the pitch at the City Ground.
Elsewhere, Soungoutou Magassa (£5.0m) could make his West Ham and Premier League debut against Tottenham this weekend, having been unavailable at Forest after his move from Ligue 1 club AS Monaco was completed too late.
The imposing midfielder’s outstanding physical and technical qualities look tailor-made for West Ham, and he’s one to keep an eye on over the coming weeks once he's adapted to the rigours of the Premier League.
Meanwhile, in defence, deadline-day signing Igor Julio (£4.5m) is a cheap alternative for FPL managers.
The Brazilian defender, who joined on a season-long loan from Brighton & Hove Albion, registered 17 points in ten starts in 2024/25 and 37 points in 17 starts in 2023/24 with the Seagulls.
Finally, after sealing a surprise comeback to east London on Wednesday, having departed the Club at the end of last season, Łukasz Fabiański will take on a new role in the squad alongside Mads Hermansen and Alphonse Areola, though his FPL price is yet to be confirmed.
