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.

    1. william prunier

      Yup, good headache to have though

      Lukaku if he goes on a run is a huge bonus for any team, which is awful news with Aguero's return on the horizon.

      1. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Also justifies potentially selling Ibra to fund Aguero...which is what I'm considering

  2. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku to benteke,?

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

    Nice little recovered ball from Bainesy there, get those 2 baps!

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

      That should get him the 2 I think, fingers crossed for no fouls now...

  4. KingOllie
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku, Baines and Williams.

    Koeman u are a hero

  5. itwaswritten

    Godkaku coming thru. Whew!

  6. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years

    So, Lukaku --> Kane next week with my FT, yes or no?
    He has scored all of his goals within his 10 GW already

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        After the price rise.

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks Epic Fail...

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

      See Lukaku's fixture and form

      1. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        but he's Lukatrolll

    3. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      god no.

  7. Hamstergod
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Seems like deciding between Costa and Lukaku I made the right decision, even between captaining Ibra and Payet 🙂
    Back to FPL and I'm actually happy

  8. rocrocodile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If you're stuck with Redmond, Mahrez, Barkley, Gray - and have a defence with Friend, Francis and Amat - would you wildcard?

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

      Probably

    2. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not just yet

  9. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Don't take my posts about Lukaku seriously (I have him)

    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

  10. VS10_
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Thanks Rom. Have a good rest. 🙂

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

      I said patience! Congrats.

  11. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    For once my wildcard worked...front 3 of Costa, Lukaku, Benteke

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

      Zlatan will bite you next week.

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

      Same here. My midfield of Hazard - Sanchez - Mane - Lanzini - Capoue didn't work out spectacularly, but I still believe in it.

  12. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    My biggest regret is picking PVA over Adam Smith.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pieters over adam smith for me. I went the fixtures but stoke look horrible

  13. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    booooooooooooo

  14. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    9 attempts, 6 on target, 3 goals

    Cheers Captain!

  15. ♤TeddyBear♤
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    When you change your captain from Lukaku to Hazard at 11 25 can you really moan? Because you also brought in lukaku....

    1. itwaswritten
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes because it was a hat-trick.

  16. Budweiser
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Who is keeping Lukaku when Aguero is back? Should we sell Ibra?

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

      Im probably not going to sell anyone if they keep scoring me goals

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

      Probably.

      I think I'm selling Ibra for Kun and keeping Rom. Much better midfield without Ibra and Kun together and MUFC won't score on a par with Citeh.

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      On Lukaku - Ibra - Costa at the moment, so whilst I'm pleased I'm also wary of Kun's return.

      Lukaku - Kun - Kane is about as far as my budget will stretch, and that's with a weakened midfield. Unfortunately I think this year could be about getting lucky and picking the right heavyweight players.

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely considering!

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

    Lukaku CS point locked in 🙂

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

      haha

  18. southernpacific
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So annoyed I vc lukaku and benched capoue over lamela.

    Could of had a monster week

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

      I bought Sterling for a hit and benched Capoue:-(

    2. Garlana
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Did exactly the same...just be happy that you have lukaku... we're in the minority

  19. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ha! What a bum. Cant even play 90min!

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

    Calf cramp for Lukaku?

  21. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Trollkaku off 😯

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

    So the answer to the Aguero to
    Lukaku
    Costa
    Benteke

    Was in that order,
    3 goals
    2 goals
    1 goal

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

      Ibra too

  23. Slam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Well, that's my captain for next week sorted.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      CLASSIC trolling to follow

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

        Never confident in Lukaku until he scores maybe 2 or 3 in a row! And I own him

  24. Ziro
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Every time I watch MNF, my FPL team suffers horribly.

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    PVA confirmed OOP for GW5...

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He will be dropped after this potentially.

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

    PVA down and out

  27. Lecky Legs FC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Some has Lukaku as (C) in my work's ML 🙁

  28. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Feel sorry for the 0.00001% who captain Lamina or Arouna Kone.

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

      *captained

  29. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Get on the bench you beautiful man

  30. bojack
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero/Ibra combo looking less attractive after these last two matches of the week.

    1. RNGD Shobby
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Zlatan scored against City, Aguero scores against anyone.... think they are both still close to it

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Will be a big decision on GW6 wildcard

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

        Am thinking of wildcarding this week - sure it's reactionary, but I have Redmond, Barkley, and Andre Gray. Will wait until after CL/Europa League to see what the injury situation looks like.

        I think Aguero has proven he will be in the highest scoring side in the league and on penalties, and will score 20+, hard to ignore. Ibra is expensive and likely Lukaku/Costa will provide more value but may not be as great (C) choices... I think Luk.Costa and Aguero is the way to go, though it will be interesting to see if Kane explodes at home to Sunderland... 3-4-3 with three expensive strikers and Capoue starting as a 4th mid may be a strategy with Antonio-Capoue-Hazard-(LIVERPOOL) but then you miss out on Sanchez/Ozil...

        Don't remember in many years (have been playing for 12 years) this many early season on-form options...

    3. myboycharlie
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agureo Lukaku Ibra way forward

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        nope, its not, decimates your midfield having both ibr and kun.

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

          if Antonio / Firmino / Cazorla deliver long term better value than Ozil / Sanchez / etc. it may work though I know that is a long shot..
