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.

      I believe its a symbolic representation of Terry Butcher's courage.

  3. JÆKS ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Everyone on here really selling Ozil to fit Aguero in before: bur SWA MID ?

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ozil has better fixtures too

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

      Yes, going Cazorla instead

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Then it doens't make a difference ofcourse 😀

        To do Ibra to Aguero?

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

          Ozil->Cazorla
          Lukaku->Aguero

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            10 years, 1 month ago

            You have 2m spare itb then?

                10 years, 1 month ago

                Def is!

                For me it's either Ozil to Cazorla and Ibra to Aguero, Ozil to Snodgrass and Lukaku to Aguero or just wait a few more weeks to bring Aguero in

                1. Henryyy

                  isnt there anyone you could ship for capoue? you will need 3 transfers tho, but could be worth it

                  im keen on capoue 4th mid

                  1. JÆKS ⭐
                    10 years, 1 month ago

                    He has been my 5th mid from the start, great to watch all those points on my bench.... 😀

        2. Forever In Our Shadow

          Good shout

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

        Cazorla won't get a pen every game...

        1. Keep Calm and Play On
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Didn't get to watch the game but I was told he was still fairly attacking??

          1. Third Eye Vision
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah. He was brilliant. I thought he made Arsenal tick. Sure he'll get plenty of assists as well as pens.

  4. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    This is going to be one of those games that start fast and peter out into a nothing 0-0 draw

    1. Royal5
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My fear

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

      10 years, 1 month ago

      How was the trip to OT Bubz? The game was a cracker.....

      Yeah this has all the makings of a classic snooze fest.....

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Was great! Was a very interesting game to see live, especially the first half, Utd were absolutely all over the shop!

        1. Jafooli
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Looked like an old fashioned derby....best game in years....players looked totally spent by the final whistle......

    8. Moyesinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thats my dream. I have Williams on and Kone coming off the bench.

    9. Goaldigger
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would love that. Not going to happen though.

    What do you guys recon is a good team value right now? I'm at 101,1 post wildcard which I'm guessing is pretty bad..

    1. Moyesinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Depends. Do you have players like Antonio, Capoue and Costa that are destined to rise soon?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet

  15. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie and Barkley in particular are struggling to get into this game

  16. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think of this team guys?

    Foster - Jakupovic

    Stones Amat Koscielny Lenihan Valencia

    Ozil Lallana Antonio Hazard Capoue

    Benteke Ibrahimovic Lukaku

    Im trying to make my team as fixture orientated as possible

    I could do williams and firmino instead of lallana and valencia.

    What do u think??

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good. Who are you dropping out of your front? Capoue certainly looking like a viable 5th or even 4th playing mid.

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Probably lallana. Difficult fixture and its a friday game.

        Cant drop capoue at home tbh, im going to ride his form and its a late game but saying that, im captaining ibra lol

  17. Twiggy SRFC
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I wish Aguero was injured so I'd have cash to spend

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie playing on the wing totally hurts Coleman's attacking threat

    1. Ziro
      10 years, 1 month ago

      This

    2. Oven Glover
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same with Mirallas/Baines

      1. Jafooli

        Fibre optic 5G broadband cable?

        1. Ziro

          Nah, you are in India is all. 😀

        2. Oven Glover
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Second place is first loser

    3. Jafooli
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same with Kev & Baines....

  19. champion_elect

    Lukaku doesn't move. Must be easy to defend against. My captain ofc.

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      be patient

      1. MarvelouSuccess
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yeah be patient. watch as lukaku shoots 5 more shots over the bar from 5 yards out as usual. 😉

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

          It always feels like nothing will never happen when watching a game I know...just really striking how he just stands there.

        2. Lone Wolf FPL
          10 years, 1 month ago

          🙂

  20. camarozz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How's Williams doing??? Bonus material??

    1. Forever In Our Shadow

    2. BadgersBoys

    3. Moyesinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If it stays 0-0 then yes, probably.

  21. A Betting Man

    If PvA goes off, it will be the end.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow

      Stretcher incoming. 😉

    2. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looks completely fine to me

      1. A Betting Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe his defensive positioning is just awful then, been watching him closely since the injury and he looks uninterested :/

  22. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have Koné, Defoe, Baines and Lukaku. Currently on 18 points so far, really need this game to really turn my gw around. But that's hard when every goal would deduct points from the defenders. Hoping for Defoe to have a good game, he's the closest thing to a differential I have.

    1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Going into this gameweek I felt pretty confident with

      Heaton
      Valencia
      Hazard Sanchez Sterling Puncheon
      Ibrahimovic

      And the aforementioned four. 14 points with the last four to go, that's rough.

  23. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Everton had a proper number 10 and not that clumsy Barkley, they could have been a good team.

  24. Jafooli
    10 years, 1 month ago

    You know the bags crisps come in?

    1. BadgersBoys

        Can you eat them?

        1. BadgersBoys
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Depends. Have you a strong stomach?

  25. BadgersBoys

    Miracles shocking..

    1. BadgersBoys

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He needs Miracles.

  26. Moyesinho
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Januzaj currently the best player on the pitch.

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 1 month ago

    All a bit predictable from Everton going forward

  28. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lol this lukaku guy is sweating buckets already

    Why did i get him

    Maybe everton can be relied upon in a more defensive return than an attacking one

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Defo.

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      koeman is a defensive manager. the opposite of martinez. why didnt anyone see this coming? soton were defensive.

  29. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Nuremberg v 1860 Munich a much better game.

    1. Jafooli
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Is it black & white?

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No. Bundesliga 2 on bt sport.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nuremberg must have a poor defence.
