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.

    Costa captain could be worse. Williams clean sheet. But Barkley to Antonio is looking like a move I'll be making

      Costa captain could be worse 😆

  5. HuttonDressedasLahm

    .1 short of Negredo and Hazard to Aguero and Snodgrass!

    Why always with the .1's?!!

    Need that Aguero drop badly before Negredo does

    1. fiveyears

      Lukaku may well save you

    18. 3 A
      10 years, 1 month ago

      59 with Baines but dont have Lukaku. I should dare to minus point early to get him after he got a brace before.

      A lesson learned.

    19. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      61 sanchez (c) my captain choices have been really letting me down this season

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

    Do we reckon Pickford will stay in goal after that team performance?
    You can surely not blame him for any of the goals conceded...

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, I thought he was good.

    3. Swanny18
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably, made a few good saves and wasn't really to fault for any of the goals

  9. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    With a decent evening from Baines & Lukaku it's looking like 72 for the week, is that above average? Doesn't seem great...

    1. Slam
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ok man, cut it out now.
      You are like a broken record

      1. Rainer
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So above then, ye?

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      73 here 😎

      1. Rainer
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Decent 😉

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

      Yawn

  10. Only God forgives
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What day is the scoutcast this week?

  11. Syd.
    10 years, 1 month ago

    25 points tonight

    Happy with that 😆

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

      Played sir 🙂

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

        how was it played, though?

  12. Budweiser
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed..

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

    I already have Antonio..

  13. tm245
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Wow, did Lukaku get a hat trick?

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

      In 11 minutes. He was rubbish for the other 77 minutes though. Avoid.

      1. tm245
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wow.

    2. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Barkley was it not?

      1. tm245
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I missed the match, just turned it on.

        1. Niemi
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hit the bar and had a couple of good chances as well. Sunderland were pretty poor at the back 2nd half.

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

    Thrilled with Lukaku.

    Concerned about he wisdom of Pickford and Kone in my squad. Benched this week but Sunderland look woeful.

  15. 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 with all those missed chances.

  16. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The Baines + Williams double up wouldnt be a bad idea

  17. Rolls-Royce
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mark having the last laugh.

  18. Kip
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How was Coleman's performance today? Did he look like he can turn into goalman again?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Had one shot that Lukaku nearly turned in.

      Neither Baines nor Coleman did much overlapping though.

      1. Kip
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Allright, thx for the scout report 🙂

  19. brianutd-why always we? 20
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ville Ronka has Lukaku surprise surprise

  20. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    WC team... From. GW6

    Foster / Jaku

    Valencia / Stones / Williams / Amat / Friend

    Hazard / Firmno / Cazorla / Antonio / Capoue

    Aguero / Lukaku / Benteke

    Thoughts?

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Need OOP PVA

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Disagree

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

      Only worry is Ibra who everyone has

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

    Everton fans chanting "sacked in the morning".

    Poor davie

  22. Stats Don\'t Lie
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So not only does lukaku score a hattie, my newly transferred in pva starts limping. Just great...

  23. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have no route to getting Lukaku without ditching Kun or Ibra, might damage me the next few weeks, but not worried in the long term.

    62 points this week without him, so can't complain. My first time deliberately playing a 442 has gone very nicely.

  24. guah
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know the average GW score after the Lukaku show?

    1. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      FFF have it down as 42. Top 1K average 39.

      1. guah
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers! I was paranoid about Lukaku's haul but I'm safe 🙂

  25. BT31 - WE ARE ALL TINKERMEN…
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Grazie to whoever posted about Sanchez unlikely to start!

    Saturday morning did Sanchez/Bony > Ozil/Lukaku on WC.

  26. Sponge-worthy
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku should've scored 6 today.

  27. tm245
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pooh, Bolasie with an assist? Nice.

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

    So game week 4 is over. Rather than an overall points total, how about an overall bench points total?

    Currently sitting with 68 across the 4 weeks. Surely some big scores out there

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm preeeety sure Capoue is responsible for almost half of them, no?

  29. Bleach †
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Have Lukaku, but captaining Hazard still leaves me salty 🙁

  30. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Still a bad week for me

    Lukaku has saved it from being really really bad though 😀

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same. 32 after a -4 hit. Lukaku nearly half my total...I will take it. Great way to end literally, the worst personal gw ever. Man o man.
