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.

    Four point hit for cazorla and lukaku
    Backed Hattie at 28/1
    Backed Everton minus two at 15/2

    Was too greedy to hope my 4-0 at 40s comes in?

        Four quid on the Hattie, 6 on the minus two, twenty five on the result at 23/20.
        Aye, and the chicken in a basket.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        About 216 in returns.

  11. Wilshere Knowledge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines just jumped from 33 to 38 on BAPS. 😀

    1. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lovely stuff.

    2. TheSteel

      YES

    3. Les Bleus

      That last pass to Kone as a "chance created."

    4. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Woooo

  12. FPL Maldini
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If you are on the same points as someone in your ML.

    What decides who is higher? Alphabetical?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      # of transfers made i think

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Funniest team name

    3. Third Eye Vision
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coolest team name.

    4. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think has something to do with the number of transfers you made. Failing that someone said it rests on your FPL ID number, seems unlikely to me, but basically the longest serving FPL player will be ahead according to that poster, can't remember who it was.

    5. Carpe Diem
      10 years, 1 month ago

      fewer transfers

      1. FPL Maldini
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Does WC count in that?

  13. GARYNEVILLESTASH
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have no regrets in having swapped a striker in and out with an eight point hit when that striker is Lukaku, unfortunately I didn't do that this week aha.

  14. fusen
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku gas scored three here because he basically hasn't been marked. It was like the sunderland defenders couldn't see he was on the pitch.

    I doubt other teams will be so utterly shockingly bad

    1. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

      There's an element of truth there - but all three were excellently crafted by the assisters - Bolasie's cross in particular.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He can score when being marked too you know, could lose his marker

  15. World XI
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have had it will Lukaku. I Brought him in this week and he misses a sitter and hits the crossbar.

    Lukaku > Anyone

    I don't usually engage in the 'lol @' childishness but...

    http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2016/09/09/fanduel-focus-gameweek-4/?hc_page=4#hc_comment_14018702

    lol @ you

    1. Slam
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have to say I agree with you, he's been saying he's a bad pick without any real stats tbh.
      Hasn't scored in so and so games is his only stat actually

      1. Walden
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. I'll take my 34 pts merrily though... 🙂

    2. Johan Queef
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You almost couldn't script it.

  17. The Left Duke #3
    10 years, 1 month ago

    18 points from 9 players inc Hazard captain before tonight. Worst GW in recent memory before Lukaku and Baines to the rescue. Happy days

  18. Rains of Castamere
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Baines on for 2 BAPS!

  19. BB-8

          10 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks, bro. I will gladly accept the Lukaku hattie as my salvation, but I did quite poorly this gw. I did not even get half of your score!

  21. Rainer

    PVA OOP ESSENTIAL

  22. Oliver Tockman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm happy for Lukaku (c) but it won't be a dismal Sunderland defense every week; he has to be more clinical.

  23. JIM BOB
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is it crazy that I'm more excited by Mirallas looking nailed than i am interested in Lukaku....?

  24. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ah good Lukaku didn't seem to be limping at the end there.

  25. ejaknian
