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.

    Does Barkley look like scoring?

    1. Moin

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      On FIFA 17 demo? Sure..

      LMAO!

    2. For Fuchs Sake

    3. Jafoole_88
      • 10 Years

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

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

  4. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Baines on a toast?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

  5. Cantonas Demons
    • 10 Years

    Lukaku to the rescue !

    1. Cantonas Demons

  6. KISSES

    Ffs bottled Lukaku captaincy in the end. Gutted.

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      This 🙁

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Me too.

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

  7. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sunderland should have been relegated years ago

    1. Declan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      They certainly have the man for the job now.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Surely not "The Choosen One"

  8. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I hate this game sometimes

  10. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Oliver Tockman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        cheers

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No effing way.

      Diomande is a joke.

      1. Oliver Tockman
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        cheers

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Bolasie up to 2 baps

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes! 😀
      Williams for 1?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Think Baines

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice. Don't think it will last though

  13. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku a serious (c) contender now.

    1. Totally !rre!evant
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe so. Tread carefully

  14. glufs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Hah! Williams the bonus magnet they said.

  15. Granville

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

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Chins 🙂

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

    1. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No Ibra for me

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

  17. Arceus
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

  18. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. KING_ZLATAN
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nicely done

  19. KING_ZLATAN
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Kaku + baines saved my week!

  20. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He played bad.

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      the latter

  21. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

  22. Jay_
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Bolasie 2 (34)

      Baines 1 (32)

      Coleman (29)

      Mirralas (28)

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully Bolasie starts mouthing off on the bench.

        1. Jay_
            9 years, 3 months ago

            😀

            Or Baines swing in a cross for Lukakus 4th

      2. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 3 months 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
            • 10 Years

            Try a different tune it might suit you

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 3 months ago

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

              Still sticking with your kaku a rubbish pick line?

              1. Worzel Gummidge
                  9 years, 3 months 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
                    • 11 Years
                    9 years, 3 months ago

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

            5. Rainer

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

              1. Cojiro
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Ha ha. Classic FFS at game time

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

              1. Wilshere Knowledge
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Sunderland were pretty good up until the goal tbf.

            8. Arceus
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

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

            9. Lizard Lips
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 3 months 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
                • 11 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Get him back or antonio
