Gameweek 4 comes to its conclusion this evening as Sunderland welcome Everton to the Stadium of Light.

Both sides roll up in contrasting form – whilst the Black Cats have yet to win, their visitors are unbeaten so far under new manager Ronald Koeman.

Two goals in the first three means Jermain Defoe is the man most likely to help David Moyes get one over his former club.

At the other end of the pitch, Patrick van Aanholt netted in his previous home appearance and Jordan Pickford’s owners are boosted by another start for the 4.0-price keeper.

For the Toffees, Ross Barkley is by far the most popular FPL pick, sitting in over 18% of squads.

With Koeman’s side set for an excellent run of fixtures, this evening’s match allows us the opportunity to also scout the likes of Leighton Baines, Romelu Lukaku and potentially even Kevin Mirallas, who starts for the fourth straight fixture under the Dutchman.

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

      Lololololukaku has just j!zzed on (C)osta owners yesterday

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Doesn't Costa still have more total points than Lukaku?

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Yes, but most who brought in Lukaku will have done so for Agüero I should think

  4. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    I had a 20 point H2H lead before this game, but rival has Lukaku. Baines had better keep his clean sheet or I'm toast...

    1. Sjaugen
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Baines on a toast?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      You would still win if 3-1 in most cases.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        True, I should scrape it providing Kone doesn't score, he has him also.

  5. Cantonas Demons
    • 11 Years

    Lukaku to the rescue !

    1. Cantonas Demons
      • 11 Years

      + williams cs

  6. KISSES

    Ffs bottled Lukaku captaincy in the end. Gutted.

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      This 🙁

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Me too.

      Thought Sunderland would be the perfect cure for his Prem goal scoring drought, but went for Hazard instead.

  7. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Sunderland should have been relegated years ago

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      They certainly have the man for the job now.

      1. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Surely not "The Choosen One"

  8. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    If Aguero hadn't been banned I wouldn't have Lukaku

    1. Volley127
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I think that's true for a lot of us!

      Only regret is I had him as captain for a while until I changed to Hazard. Needed this after 20 from 10..

  9. camarozz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    I hate this game sometimes

  10. thepeen555
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    How about that don't get a chance to get online Saturday morning - figured hazard was my captain looked around lunch and was like oh damn it's Kaku now I'm chuffed - the only game I was planning To have him in and he scores 3, now not sure whether to keep the troll in for a couple more

  11. Oliver Tockman
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Trying again.
    Is De Bruyne worth it? I could replace Barkley with him, with Diomande and Capoue rotating starting positions. Thoughts?

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'd wait to see who plays a lot in the CL. City is rotation waiting to happen.

      1. Oliver Tockman
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        cheers

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      No effing way.

      Diomande is a joke.

      1. Oliver Tockman
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        cheers

  12. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Bolasie up to 2 baps

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Yes! 😀
      Williams for 1?

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Think Baines

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Baines is only one BPS point away from him, since Bolasie is off the pitch there is a good chance Baines will get 2 baps... Providing he doesn't give the ball away or foul anyone before the end.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Nice. Don't think it will last though

  13. Simon69
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Lukaku a serious (c) contender now.

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Maybe so. Tread carefully

  14. glufs

    Hah! Williams the bonus magnet they said.

    Lukaku saved Mark's wildcard. He's completely ruined the scoutcast. 🙁

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years

      Chins 🙂

    Topic for the Scoutcast: Re-visiting Mark's no Aguero plan from last year...

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      No Ibra for me

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Thinking of no Aguero/IBra myself. The midfield choices look so nice.

  17. Arceus
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Thanks for the Aguero ban. Else I would never had picked up Lukaku.

  18. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    What a WC this turned out to be. Got in Antonio, Smith, Benteke and Lukaku for Barkley, Collins, Gray and Aguero. Sterling and Sanchez let me down but who cares.

    1. Cojiro
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Well played. At least a Sanchez downgrade will help u get Kun back

    2. KING_ZLATAN
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Same here with Antonio benteke lukaku , Sanchez and hazard(C) failed but who cares now!

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years

      Nicely done

  19. KING_ZLATAN
    • 15 Years

    Kaku + baines saved my week!

  20. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Why Barkley off at HT? Injury or playing cr@p?

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      He played bad.

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      the latter

  21. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Catched the price rises of Antonio and Lukaku 2 days ago. #smallwins #stillsad

  22. Jay_
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Bolasie 2 (34)

    Baines 1 (32)

    Coleman (29)

    Mirralas (28)

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Hopefully Bolasie starts mouthing off on the bench.

      1. Jay_
        10 years, 10 days ago

        😀

        Or Baines swing in a cross for Lukakus 4th

  23. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 10 days ago

    As a non Lukaku owner this is hilarious. I had Costa so dont really care and no one owns him in my ML but still hilarious. Cant wait for everyone else to get him in.

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Try a different tune it might suit you

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Dont cry. Dry them. Chin up........

    4. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 12 Years

      Still sticking with your kaku a rubbish pick line?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 10 days ago

        He was as was out of form and hadn't scored so all logic pointed to not the best pick. Just because he scores 3 the owners come out and say I told you so. It is absolutely hilarious lol.

        1. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          Im afraid you will just have to admit you were wrong. Come on you can do it

  24. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Kone was essential here 20 minutes ago for getting on the end of a corner hahaha

    1. Cojiro
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Ha ha. Classic FFS at game time

  25. Lone Wolf FPL

    It's funny to read comments on previous pages like 3 etc.

  26. Belsunz

    Next up for Sunderland: away to Tottenham. Could get messy for Moyes...

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Sunderland were pretty good up until the goal tbf.

  27. Arceus
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Is it too greedy to ask for a 4th Lukaku assist or goal?

  28. Lizard Lips
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Firmino to Barkley the dumbest move of the season. Knew it before I did it. Judging Firmino on two games. Do I get him back or go Mane for Barkley?

    1. Cojiro
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Get him back or antonio
