Lse a level options

Thinking about picking economics, maths and further maths for a level.Will these options be good enough to gain a offer for LSE ECONOMICS or is it best for me to pick another subject and have further maths as a 4th subject

These are good options for Pure Econ and PPE at LSE but not for Pol & Econ where it says the following: "If you’ve taken Mathematics, Further Mathematics and one other subject at A-level, this may be considered a less competitive combination than a broader mix of essay-based and quantitative subjects."
For Pure Econ it says "Further Mathematics at A-level is also desirable, and is acceptable for entry in combination with Mathematics and one other A-level. In these cases we'd prefer that the third A-level should be an essay-based subject. If you take four or more full A-levels, you’ll be expected to achieve A* A A (with A* in Mathematics), and a pass in the fourth A-level. We understand that not all schools/colleges offer Further Mathematics and you won’t be disadvantaged as a result"
and for PPE "Further Mathematics (at any level) is not required, although it provides helpful preparation for the programme."
