Gameweek 4 Waiver Wire Targets
Here we outline Fantasy EPL Gameweek 4 Waiver Wire Targets that have 40% ownership or below on Fantrax. These players will also have a favorable run of fixtures upcoming, so they could perform very well over the upcoming period!
Conor Gallagher
Position: Midfielder
Team: Crystal Palace
Ownership: 26%
Next Fixture: Tottenham (Home)
Prospects: Gallagher has been an incredible fantasy asset since signing for Crystal Palace, and is a must pickup this week. Gallagher will offer both a steady floor and attacking upside on a team that needs his energy. Palace is surely one of the favorites to be relegated this year, but I truly believe Gallagher can be one of their best fantasy assets. The on-loan midfielder has a point to prove, and should still see decent returns in upcoming tough fixtures.
Verdict: I would use a mid-tier waiver claim or 5-10% of my remaining FAB on Gallagher.

Willy Boly
Position: Defender
Team: Wolves
Ownership: 10%
Next Fixture: Watford (Away)
Prospects: Boly was back on the bench this gameweek, after missing the early part of the season with a minor injury. Boly should get back into the XI for the trip to Watford and should be picked up. He will offer DEF2/3 value depending on the matchup throughout the rest of the season. Wolves look like they won’t concede too many goals this season, but are still looking for their first clean sheet. Boly will help them improve defensively and they should get a clean sheet away to Watford.
Verdict: I would use a low-end waiver claim or about 0-2% of my remaining FAB on Boly.
Mason Holgate
Position: Defender
Team: Everton
Ownership: 4%
Next Fixture: Burnley (Home)
Prospects: Holgate had a strong showing in the win vs. Brighton helping Everton keep their first clean sheet. After the international break, he comes up against Burnley, which should see another strong score with a lot of aerials to contest. I would back Everton to keep a clean sheet against Burnley which could see Holgate get another 15+ score. There is a chance Mina gets the nod over Holgate, so be ready when lineups release to make that swap if so. If Holgate keeps his spot in the XI he could be a valuable DEF3 that you got off the waiver wire.
Verdict: I would use a low-end waiver claim or about 0-2% of my remaining FAB on Boly.
