Should I be taking 4 alevels?

So I am currently taking maths, further maths and economics with a hope of doing a econometrics degree at university however I have been told that it isn’t advisable to only take 3 alevels if one of them is further maths as universities see you application as being too focused in maths and not board enough and some universities it is expected that you would have taken 4 if you did further maths. I really don’t want to take a fourth alevel as I was advised by my school not too. So is it completely necessary to take a fourth if I am aiming to get into a top uni ( I’m thinking Exeter or possibly LSE if I’m lucky asf )?

Found this in Nottingham uni website. This could b one of the reasons why some ppl take 4 A levels.

I know i get a lower offer it’s just I don’t want too and I really don’t know what I would take?I got a 9 in geography with absolutely no revision or real work in class so safe to say I do find it easy however I find it do incredibly boring I feel realised of the thought of taking it for another two years. I’ve heard politics can be good however I don’t see how that could really have any relevance to the degree I want as it’s mainly maths based.
