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.

    Just occurred to me; this hatrick will get many to bring Rom in...dropping Kun.

    12.9 dream still alive? 🙂

      Just gave it the kiss of life

      Rom and Costa in form is just about perfect for the chances of that happening

    With Sanchez having good fixtures, Aguero and Ibra looking pretty essential, and Lukaku, Costa etc. finding form, does it look like we'll have to drop Hazard for at least the next few weeks? How do you plan on juggling these players?

    1. Epic Fail
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Cojiro
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Could play Capoue and have a second 4.5 mid

      1. Ibracadabra
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This may be the answer...

        Any WATFORD supporters watched all 4 games? Is Capoue truly bombing forward in a different position or right place, right time, only 1 more league goal in remaining 34 fixtures type of luck...

    Sanchez & Negredo -> Firmino & Lukaku for a -4?
    giving me
    Haz, Firmino, Antonio, Barkley, Januzaj
    Zlatan, Lukaku, Benteke

    Lukaku (71)
    Bolasie (34)

      Think Lukaku might pip it

    3. KISSES

      Williams? 🙁

    4. bojack
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shame Mirallas couldn't nick me another point but I am more than happy with his assist. He was in the 'under 4 points per game' club for me before that (I don't have a spreadsheet, nothing to see here).

    @WildRover would you recommend Rooney in for Lukaku?

  6. Rains of Castamere
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Love it Big Rom.

    Baines 2 BAPs would be the icing on the cake if he can pinch them

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

    Moyes looks as disinterested as the Sunderland fans. Not a good sign

    1. Nomar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can you blame him?

  8. Wilshere Knowledge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines clearance. 😀

    1. Rains of Castamere
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Up to 34 bps?

  9. myboycharlie

    Lukaku captain saved my week scoring more than the rest of my team

    1. czechmade
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same here 😉

  10. rohan

    Half tempted to do Sanchez and Gray > Snodgrass and Kane (c)
    Must. Resist.

    1. william prunier
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fancy gray against a lei team who have a euro game

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

      lol, worst transfers ever.full time, thank you Lukaku Baines and Mirallas!

  11. Sánchez
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I hate Everton

  12. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine having to sell Barkley with their coming fixtures LOL

  13. Jimmy Boy
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Very pleased with Bolasie, choosing him over Barkley paid off in the end despite my doubts.

  14. Hect.OR 98th
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard(c) bit of a pain but can't complain. I never would have considered Lukaku as captaincy material this week. He'd have been fourth choice at best.

    1. Rains of Castamere
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Baines tackle and through ball, come on the 2 baps

    2. KING_ZLATAN
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Exactly. I played benteke Antonio Costa lukaku , and have my C on hazard.
      Happy with my points now tho

      Hazard (C) and Lukaku (VC) for me this week. A bit annoying but still happy.

    Failsville, Utah

    Niagra fails

    Crystal failace

  16. Keno

    Any chance Baines gets 2 baps over Bolasie

  17. For Fuchs Sake

  18. StalkingDwarf

  20. ronty
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Costa Benteke Ibra current frontline

    This Lukaku thing is a dampener..

    Ibra to Lukaku surely in haste?

    1. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    2. Podge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      exact same, considering it

  21. Podge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kane Alli etc. gonna enjoy playing these next week

  22. OPTA FPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Everton scored 3 just after Barkley off...

  23. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Think il have a zlatan aguero lukaku frontline

    1. Nomar
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too expensive.

      You end up with a crappy midfield.

      1. Everyday im Schneiderlin
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard antonio cazorla snodgrass capoue

  24. HVT
    10 years, 1 month ago

    9% ownership on Lukaku ain't bad for us that bought in, should see a nice green now.

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

      It's a big green.

  25. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Nice key pass there from Bainesy

  26. Wilshere Knowledge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines tackle and chance created! 🙂

  27. Kante Be Bothered
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Lamela's place in danger, or will he start

    1. william prunier
      10 years, 1 month ago

      In danger from who

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Son or Sissoko

  28. Budweiser
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So Barkley to Bolasie sound about right? Gives me a bit of cash to play around with too..

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley to Antonio is even better

  29. Arceus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Almost a Baines assist if Kone had scored.
