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.

      Hello Cazorla then.

  9. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thought Williams was the BAPS magnet. Behind both Baines and Coleman...

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I guess it was easy to stand out when you are the only source of CBIs at Swansea. Jags also gets many CBIs and Baines and Coleman get the crosses.

  10. Oliver Tockman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I know I'm being greedy but Lukaku could have easily had 6

  11. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. EDEN THE MAN

  13. Danstoke82
    10 years, 1 month ago

  14. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Foster Jaku

    Valencia Williams Kone Pieters Amat

      10 years, 1 month ago

    3. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Haha Willaims or Kaku weren't there half an hour ago... Is it going to be GW4 every week?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        10 years, 1 month ago

      2. Slam
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Looking through your comment history, have you ever actually given any good advice?
        Actually, any advice at all?

    4. Champione
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sunderland defender is a must have, yes

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Placeholder for Souare atm

        1. Champione
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Kone and Pieters > Holebas and Smith imo, great fixtures for Watford and Bournemouth

    5. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I would change Pieters to Evans.

    6. EDEN THE MAN
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My team is the same except I have Ozil for Sanchez.

      Pieters for Friend
      and Walker for Kone.

      Where's ur budget

  17. Baconfaen
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Miralas or Bolasie?

    1. Les Bleus
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bolasie.

    2. Totally !rre!evant
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The later if not injured

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mirallas, more greedy

  18. Swan - Villa Proud
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So if your planning a GW6 wildcard, do you keep big Rom instead of Ibra? Think I may take the points and run

    1. william prunier
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Tempting isn't it

  19. Slam
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku and Baines saved me, thank god.

    1. KING_ZLATAN
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thank god for them too. Totally changed my gameweek

  20. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 1 month ago

    22 points before tonight.

    2. Clump

      🙂

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I've jumped from 43 to 65 odd depending on BAPS, that's fairly ridiculous!

      Well played

  21. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I saw that Luk shot in the top corner 🙁

  22. Zizou
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1) zlatan and redmond

    or

    2) lukaku and mane/firmino

    1. itwaswritten
      10 years, 1 month ago

      2 and it's not close.

  23. Boydinho
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I regret that late switch to Haz now... but still glad for transfering in Rom!

  24. rocrocodile
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bleeding a lot this round. Barkley, Mahrez, Redmond, Gray - should I wildcard?

    Foster / Jaku
    Williams / Evans / Friend / Francis / Amat
    Hazard / Mahrez / Barkley / Redmond / Capoue
    Ibra / Costa / Gray
    1FT
    3,8 ITB

    1. Oliver Tockman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no, you have enough itb to replace mahrez and gray

  25. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I like how PvA just thought "meh" for Lukaku's third goal

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He really is a very poor defender.

  26. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Congrats to those who C Lukaka. somehow should have gone C as eden is not as clear C choice when away.

    I have Lukaka and glad, but changed the C last min to eden on Haz's allure. big mistake

    1. rocrocodile
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You have him, yes, but will you be able to spell his name?

      1. Total Foot 5
        10 years, 1 month ago

        are you that bitter because as you said in your post, "you are bleeding". and yes, very well know his name is Lukaku, as is his brother who played for belgium last week fyi. Lived in belgium so pretty confident in spelling their names. lukaka is for a laugh, but given your bitterness, you just disregard my post.

  27. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lolkaku basically gifted all 3 goals

    If he was a good player he would've had a hatty in the 1st half

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Non owner?

    2. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't take these posts seriously

      I'm just trying to be negative and it's much better because any thing comes as a surprise and if nothing happens then it's expected

    3. Syd.
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He was in the right place at the right time

    4. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dont say that as the owners will come out. I dont care as glad his owners got lucky but thats what it was. A lucky pick based on hope as out of form and no goals. Thats the decisions you need to make to get ahead. Guy is based on a lot of luck at the end of the day.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's a bit harsh tbf, i don't consider it luck. I watched him play in his comeback match and the game after and he had chances and looked decent, it's not just hope it was analysis too. Do you consider Costa lucky for not being sent off when he should be

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So a good player would have ended up with 6 goals then?

  28. Grimsbychip
    10 years, 1 month ago

    David Moyes owns a horse called Back Up Plan. The nag might be picking the team for the next game

  29. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is PVA still OOP going to get CSs and essential?

    1. Norfolk&Chance
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I like you Rainer. You're really good at FPL, gracious, humble and modest.
