Morgan Gibbs-White remains a credible Fantasy Premier League midfield option, but the supplied Gameweek 4 figures need correcting. He delivered an assist and three bonus points in Nottingham Forest’s win at Aston Villa for eight points—not 17—and his current listed price is £7.9 million, not £7.5 million.
Morgan Gibbs-White has become increasingly attractive to Fantasy Premier League managers because he remains central to Nottingham Forest’s attacking play. The 26-year-old has goal threat, creative responsibility and penalty duties, providing several routes to points rather than relying solely on open-play scoring.
Forest’s 4–3 victory at Aston Villa strengthened the case for investment. Gibbs-White supplied an assist and collected the maximum three bonus points, giving him an eight-point Gameweek 4 return. His team now face Coventry City at home next, followed by a favourable longer-term run that includes away matches against Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Bournemouth and Hull, as well as a home fixture against Brighton.
His historical profile also supports the appeal. Gibbs-White scored 15 goals and registered four assists in 2025–26, producing 189 FPL points—the third-highest midfield total in the game. He created 49 chances and recorded 18 big chances last season, both figures showing that he can produce returns as both a scorer and a creator.
The claim that he has exceeded 140 FPL points in each of the past three seasons is not verified by the available data and should be removed. Equally, the suggestion that he became Forest’s first-choice penalty taker only after Chris Wood is not supported. The more defensible point is that Gibbs-White has benefited from penalty responsibilities this season, which adds to his appeal as a mid-priced midfielder.
Brighton also produced standout FPL options in Gameweek 4. Pascal Groß was the top scorer of the round with 17 points after recording a goal, two assists, a clean sheet and three bonus points in Brighton’s win over Coventry City.
Diego Gómez remains Brighton’s most attractive low-cost attacking option. Priced at £5.0 million, he had been identified by the Premier League’s Fantasy Scout as a budget midfielder worth considering because of his shooting numbers and attacking role. However, he is better treated as a differential or value pick than an automatic selection, particularly given Brighton’s rotation risk and the need to monitor his minutes.
Maxim De Cuyper is another Brighton player worth watching. The £4.8 million defender was selected in the official Gameweek 4 Scout Selection and offers potential clean-sheet points alongside attacking involvement from the left side. Bart Verbruggen, at £4.5 million, also remains a viable budget goalkeeper option, although Brighton’s defensive reliability should be monitored before managers commit to a double-up.
For managers considering a transfer, Gibbs-White is a sensible medium-term move if they need a dependable £7.9 million midfielder and do not already have three Forest players. He offers a strong fixture run, set-piece involvement and a central role in Forest’s attack. Brighton assets are more useful as targeted value picks—especially Groß for form, Gómez for price and De Cuyper for upside—rather than players to buy indiscriminately.
