I would say more or less, 4. We are expecting a fierce Cape Verde Season, thereafter, I would expect to see various named storms forming far in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. Last year we had Danielle, Earl, Frances, Ivan, Karl, Lisa, and Otto.

The systems that form east of 40w are the true Cape Verde systems many of them longtrackers that reach the Caribbean and the US East coast.I say that 4 of those will form and the rest that may form will be west of 40w closer to the islands.
