The 0.9% owned star tipped to haul in FPL this week as shocking statistic emerges
An FPL player owned by less than 1% of all players could produce one of the biggest hauls of Gameweek Four.
After three gameweeks in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league rivalries have certainly started forming, establishing the managers in your workplace, family or friend group that you'll likely be competing with all season.
With that in mind, managers need to start finding some hidden gems that are going under the radar and can therefore allow you to massively gain on your rivals.

Why FPL manager should consider a 0.9% owned player as their Gameweek Four punt
Luckily for you, there's one player who is currently in just 0.9% of teams, who could massively outperform his ownership thanks to a key statistic.

As pointed out by FPL Meerkat on X, across their three opening Premier League fixtures, Crystal Palace have already conceded four goals to attacking midfielders, demonstrating a clear weakness that FPL managers can exploit.
With the Eagles welcoming a newly-promoted Ipswich Town to Selhurst Park for their upcoming fixture on Saturday afternoon, you'd assume that now's not the time to be picking an attacker against Palace, but that's not the case.
Enter Julio Enciso, who joined the Tractor Boys on a five-year deal in August alongside midfielder Abdoul Ouattara, both joining from French club Strasbourg.
The Paraguay international, who previously played in the Premier League with Brighton, spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Portman Road, before going back to his parent club for last season.
Upon his return to Ipswich Town, the 22-year-old has continued to impress, picking up 11 points from the first three gameweeks of the season, picking up assists against both Sunderland and Manchester United.
Although he is yet to find the back of the net himself since coming back to the Premier League, the fact that half of the goals that Palace have conceded this season have come from players in Enciso's position could suggest that now is his time to open his account this season.
And with just 0.9% of managers currently owning the 5.5 million-priced midfielder, he could be the perfect pick for players looking for a high-ceiling low-owned punt in Gameweek Four.

Which other players are expected to haul in FPL in Gameweek Four?
Gameweek Four is likely to be a high-scoring week for many managers in FPL, as plenty have activated either their Free Hit or Wildcard chips to adapt to the first three weeks of drama and capitalise on some fixture swings.
Perhaps the most popular pick for transfers this week will be Chelsea superstar Cole Palmer (£9.7m) , who has been brought in to 586,829 teams this week at the time of writing.
Palmer has scored two goals and picked up one assist in Chelsea's three Premier League fixtures so far and faces Hull City at Stamford Bridge in his next fixture.
Most of the expected goals against Hull this season have come from players on the right of their opponent's attack, suggesting Palmer could be the best pick of Chelsea's front three this week.
Like Palace, Aston Villa have conceded most of their goals to attacking midfielders so far, suggesting that Morgan Gibbs-White (£7.9m) could be another good pick this week.
Another standout statistic heading into Gameweek Four is that Fulham have conceded three goals to left-backs this season, something that could benefit Liverpool's new signing Bradley Barcola (8.0m) this week.
Liverpool's new blockbuster signing made his first start for the Reds during the Champions League midweek fixture against Atletico Madrid and was a standout performer.
And despite going down injured late in the match, Liverpool manager Andoni Iraola has now confirmed that Barcola is fit ahead of this weekend.
Of course, if Fulham are susceptible to left-backs, then Milos Kerkez (5.4m) is another punt FPL managers could consider this week.
