The Stock Check – Gameweek 4 – Monday

A game of goals and controversy at Goodison Park brings Gameweek 4 to a conclusion. Here’s the Stock Check from the tonight’s tumultuous 2-2 stalemate…

On the Up

Leighton Baines
We could hardly have pushed the virtues of Baines any harder over the international break and the Everton left-back didn’t take long to demonstrate why. Linking superbly with Steven Pienaar, Baines covered himself in glory with a fine strike to cap another superb display.

Steven Pienaar
Two assists from the South African demonstrated his worth and effectiveness down the Everton left with Baines. Pienaar also threaded the pass for Victor Anichebe’s strike and was only denied further returns by the assistant’s flag. Significantly, despite strong returns from Marouanne Fellaini in the opening games, bonus for Pienaar would take him above the Belgian in the Fantasy Premier League rankings.

Demba Ba
The evening began with the Senegal striker on the timber, only for him to be introduced to turn the game in the second half. A rollercoaster evening for his 16% ownership that ended in confirmation that Ba is the man in form in the Newcastle frontline.

Going Down

Nikaca Jelavic
The Croatian crashed into a post early on and finally relented to the blow just before the break after suffering further knocks. Everton badly missed his influence in the second-half and David Moyes and Jelavic’s Fantasy owners will desperately hoping that he has escaped with a minor setback. We await the prognosis.

Papiss Cisse
Selected ahead of Ba to lead the line, Cisse was again overshadowed by his compatriot. His Fantasy owners will doubtless be twitching with frustration and mystified as to how Cisse’s strike rate has diminished so markedly given last season’s electric form.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I have a feeling Silva may become a must have again in the next few matches. He has just signed a new contract and with CL here I would expect he will become a regular for PL fixtures like last season. His chances created per minute are better than Cazorla at the moment.

      I was thinking the same way Ryan. Looking at possible upgrade of HBA to Silva GW7 if plans go uninteruppted. Ofcourse they will be though.

      I read earlier u are on the WC. I was so tempted, but seem to have missed what possible price rises I could have got, too late now. The slow shuffle (consecutive hits over next 2 weeks) will be my path. Good luck to u.

      I can't be arsed making changes this week. Graham gets one last chance to redeem himself and if not then he can go with a free transfer.

      Can't be bothered spending more hits on taking him and Zab out and not wanting to use WC this early in the season.
