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.

    King Baines is back. Williams was a great option at Swansea with almost guaranteed 3bp every clean sheet, but he doesn't hold a candle to Baines' baps.

    1. Pasqualinho

      I thought he might as Sunderland's tactic in the first half was to try and keep hitting balls to his head. Relatively speaking, it was working well for them.

    No idea on the safety score in LMS but plenty of clean sheets and Lukaku there.

      10 years, 1 month ago

      How do you work it out?

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      10 years, 1 month ago

      38(-4)?

  3. Marcin the Pole

    Walker or Baines?

    1. Bubz
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Really depends on whether Baines is on pens or not

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Baines. Walker could be rotated with CL games.

      1. Marcin the Pole
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Good point. Terry to Baines looking likely.

    3. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      baines. walker is CL rotation risk.

      I have like 2m more in the defense and got the same. Only 3 CSs this weekend, hard to get any of them right.

      1. tm245
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hmmm, that feels a bit better then.

    one question;

    Hennessey is not the number one for Palace anymore?

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

      more of a statement really, but a correct one!

      1. Hi I'm Jose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I have Vorm and Hennessey, just wanna keep my 2 FT for next week

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

    From GW^:

    Costa & Kane vs Aguero & Benteke (I have Ibra as well)?

    Barkley to Bolasie too sideways a move?

    1. Budweiser
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Think that's what I'm going to do. No way Bolasie is being dropped. Others have question marks..

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      bit like Barkley...

    31 points. Worst gameweek ever I think. Bye guys.

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

      See you next week. You'll probably score 80. This FPL season looks to be wonderfully unpredictable.

    2. Firminooooo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Me to....no fun anymore. Se you in heaven, Mr Ozil.

      What's your prediction for next week?

      1. nobwak
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Captain Lukaku, but actually do it this time.
        Got the lottery numbers as well if you want them.

  12. Firminooooo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    36 points and no players today..... Feel sick. Well done Lukaku

    1. nobwak
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cry me a river. 36 points and I had Lukaku!!

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

        Cripes

        1. nobwak
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Man my defenders flopped it, Hazard and Ozil didn't do "it" and Lamela got benched. Took a hit as well. There's a week or two like this every year, gotta take it on the chin and believe that next week will be better. Lukaku and Bolasie saved my bacon, just wish I'd captained "the troll"

  13. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley v Boro
    Redmond v Swansea
    Lamela v Sunderland

    Potential front line of Benteke - Ibra - Kane/Lukaku

    Feels wrong to think about wildcarding

    1. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      those mids surely a game time worry

    2. Krul Runnings
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gray --> Kane

      Wc Gw6, I said Thats what if do, and I'm sticking with it

    3. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Don't WC

    4. Shifty
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Similar thinking the same and leaving some cash in the bank for Ibra > Kun

    5. Acquafresca
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley won't start.

      Wait 1 more week to WC Andy. Hit the button Friday.

    Fellow Lukaku captainers, enjoy this moment.

    Most of the time, FPL is a long hard slog tinged with moments of joy and sorrow.

    1. Sponge-worthy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What an end for this gw!!

    2. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      on the hour mark i was a delighted bark/luk owner i must say. changes in a heartbeat

  16. Limbo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A happy Baines owner here and knee jerked to upgrade Holgate to Williams.

    Everton could easily be the defense of the year. Different kettle of fish under Koeman.

    1. Limbo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Geye/Bolasie were magnificent.

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

        Gueye looks an excellant signing.

    2. Budweiser
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Woudn't be saying that if Defoe scored that chance in the first half!

      1. Limbo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Easy to say either. As they settle I can see more CS to come

    3. sindriseagal
      10 years, 1 month ago

      have Baines since beginning en got coleman on wildcard, Everton double defence doing work 😉

  17. Big Bad Diego
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley and Negredo ---> Antonio and Benteke with .7 ITB? Got 2 FT so not losing any points...

  18. Shifty
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley Gray > Antonio Kane (-4)?

    Or Antonio Lukaku?

    1. Limbo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No to kante - FPL blackhole

      1. Shifty
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Kane.

        1. Limbo
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Oh yeah, haha. Latter for fixtures

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      id Get Kane. Could be a good captain choice

  19. dinvincible
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Triple everton defence here. Serious Advice-Never ever do that. Its nerve-racking to watch full 90 minutes for a clean sheet. It paid but now thinking about selling one of them.

    1. Limbo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't until these fixtures toughen

      1. dinvincible
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Problem is I can't own lukaku + Big risk depending on a clean sheet

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

      2 is ballsy never mind 3. Yes - spread the risk

  20. mbglo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Point breakdown:
    1 point: 7 players
    3 points: 1 player
    7 points: 1 player
    12 points: 1 player
    14 points: 1 player

    Happy how this ended after all, could have been brutal without Benteke, Mane and Lukaku.

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

      *17 points 1 player 🙂 Lukaku

    2. walkman666

      10 years, 1 month ago

      1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 17, -- now that is whack!

  21. Sponge-worthy
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Jags or Williams in for funes more? Have to do it today.

    1. Limbo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Williams looks more threatening from corners

  22. how now brown cow
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley + defoe -> Pereyra + lukaku -4?

  23. Are you Shaw?
    10 years, 1 month ago

    i won't subtly brag like others, ill just out-right boast about having a 263 Total and i think in the top 1,000... not sure though :p

    Happy days.. average of 66 points per gameweek so far

    1. tm245
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good post and well done.

    2. Sponge-worthy
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That high? I have 254.

  24. nobwak
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Suddenly everyone wants Lukaku in their teams. The fickleness of this game sickens me sometimes.

    1. nobwak
      10 years, 1 month ago

      2 seconds ago he was "trollkaku"

    2. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      this aint the place to be if anti fickle believe me

      1. nobwak
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I just find it absolutely hilarious.

  25. SantiClaus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A pivotal question on my WC?

    A) Walker Firmino Benteke

    B) Williams Cazorla Lukaku

    I think that's tough

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

      Tough one. Think Everton and Arsenal's fixtures swing it for B!

    2. My Name Is Prince
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

  26. camarozz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    First time iv owned Costa ever and have to say I quiet enjoyed watching the game. Starting to love the guy - unpredictable, temperamental loveable kinda guy. May get rid if ibra instead for kun and get lukaku in.

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

      Love and Costa don't often appear in the same sentence.

  27. The 12th Man
    10 years, 1 month ago

    -8 coming up for me.
    Souare,Barkley,Rondon > Baines,Antonio,Lukaku

  28. For Fuchs Sake
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would you WC on this team? Too many uncertainties and injuries. Already used my FT this week too......

    Foster Valdes

    Friend Shaw Souare Stones Kone

    Capoue Lamela Hazard Tadic Townsend

    Ibra Negredo Lukaku

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        10 years, 1 month ago

        thanks, didn't see that

    1. Are you Shaw?
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yes you need to WC, but not now... wait till GW 6 when Aguero comes back

  29. Sz21
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Souare~ Williams or
    2. Barkley~ Bolasie (other?)

    Have 1 mill and 1ft..
    Which move seems more urgent..

    Prob WC'ing after next GW.
