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.

    Thoughts on the below for a WC week? Thoughts much appreciated:

    Foster / Jaku

    Collins / Stones / Evans / Amat / Smith

    Hazard / Fer / Cazorla / Antonio / Capoue

    Costa / Lukaku / Ibra

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Is it going to be GW4 every week?

    2. Sz21
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Where is ur Eve defender?

    3. Limbo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Collins must get dropped. City will continue to conceed until they start talking to each other. Too much Swansea. No Everton defender.

  3. Arctic_Orangutans
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance of Barkley getting dropped at weekend he was dreadful in the first half

      Of course

        Time to get rid! Hello Mané

    2. Rainer

      Started playing once he went off

    3. Limbo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Had a dreadful 45. Could easily warm bench next week

  4. Shifty
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley Gray > Antonio Kane (-4)?

    Or would Lukaku be the better option.

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

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

    Deulofeu done enough to warrant a start against Boro?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      10 years, 1 month ago

      if Bolasie injured then yes...

      1. Limbo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Look like he said cramp when he was subbed (3-0 up). Don't think Barkley will start. Will have to earn it.

    2. Niemi
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Barkley could be benched

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        10 years, 1 month ago

        could be....

    Any1 thinking of demebele

    1. FPL Maldini
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure he's safe and sound

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

        hahaha nice one

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      what has dembele done?

      1. John wick
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He is back after suspension and provide assist points when kanes scores

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          10 years, 1 month ago

          are you for real?

  9. FPL Maldini
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do I...

    A) WC

    B) Barkley and Gray to Antonio and Iheanacho (-4)

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

      Wasn't it against Sunderland when he started that run of 7 last year?

      1. pundit of punts
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Could be.

        Don't remember.

      2. La Roja
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Bournemouth

      3. Backup Dancer
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It was they put 6 past them

    2. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He was set on Bats at the start of the season too. Genius!

      1. pundit of punts
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😀

        Gone into hiding now.

      Silly Billy!

  10. Cok3y5murf
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1FT, 3.4 ITB, WC played

    A) Rondon -> Benteke
    B) Barkley -> Antonio
    C) Both for -4 (Don't think I can do this as I have Souare as well)

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both mate

      1. Cok3y5murf
        10 years, 1 month ago

        So a -8 including Souare?

        1. MarvelouSuccess
          10 years, 1 month ago

          short term pain, long term gain.

  11. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Foster (whu)
    Baines (MID) - Bellerin (hul) - Valencia (wat) - Toby (SUN)
    Hazard (LIV) - Antonio (wba) - Ozil (hul) - Snograss (ARS)
    Ibra (wat) - COsta (LIV)

    Good to go?

    I'm fairly happy with it, Snodgrass is the only one I would change, but any transfer I make now is a hit I will have to take next week to get Kun. If I bank it now, my ideal plan to get him back (and get in a Pool midfielder) will cost 3 transfers (-4).

  12. Spg76
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Take a look at the next 5 fixtures of Watford after the next game. Man Utd next then it's middle to mediocre teams. Deeney and Ighalo could be ones to watch

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      More Capoue BAPs. I'm bringing Holebas in after United.

      1. Spg76
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Already got Capoue

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

      I'm considering pereyra.

      1. The Tinkerman
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Same here, him and Deeney on my watchlist.

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

    Hazard Sanchez Barkley Ibe Capoue
    Costa Ibra Gray

    0.5 ITB, pick one for a one week punt before WC

    Barkley > Antonio
    Ibe > Zaha
    Gray > Iheanacho

    1. Arctic_Orangutans
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Iheanacho

  14. top556677
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Another miserable gameweek. Only saving grace is using all out attack got Capoue playing!

    who's my priority to use my FT on?

    A. Lamela
    B. Barkley
    C. Gray

    Genuinely unsure. I feel like Barkley is most likely to drop in price, but I can survive a week with him on bench and capoue playing.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A

  15. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Good enough long term team ?
    Foster
    Coleman valencia mcauley
    Hazard cazorla antonio snodgrass
    Lukaku zlatan aguero
    Jaku collins amat

  16. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.0 keeper?

    Need funds to bring kaku in.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      pickford

    2. Pariße
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Pickford

    3. HVT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd pick Ford or Toyota.

  17. Pariße
    10 years, 1 month ago

    FPL is back! We have 6 premium forward options, plenty of options in defence since most are doing pretty bad, good premium mids and a too perfect fodder in Capoue. Exciting season ahead.

  18. Zizou
    10 years, 1 month ago

    considering redmond and zlatan to mane/firmino and lukaku

    madness???

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      10 years, 1 month ago

      why zlatan? hes the most consistent scorer with costa and aguero.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        10 years, 1 month ago

        We can't have them all right, I like it Zizou!

    2. Pariße
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Chasing points there. Redmond is still OOP, Ibra is Ibra and you'll never get those 31 points from Firmino and Lukaku combined.

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

    @Rainer, not casting aspersions at you mate.
    sorry if looked that way

    1. Rainer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      ?

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

        "too"

  20. Kante Be Bothered
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Will Antonio continue scoring, or will he blank the next couple games

    1. Budweiser
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What kind of stupid question is that?

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        10 years, 1 month ago

        did your low fpl score cause you to get angry??

      2. Pariße
        10 years, 1 month ago

        😆

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

      yes he'll score 2 every game until April when he'll get a hattie but get injured celebrating it

  21. Smarty Pants
    10 years, 1 month ago

    funny team: https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/2384549/event/4
    was at 5K at GW start
    scored 21(-28) before today and fell to 650K
    now should be back to top 10K after just one game 🙂

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

      why would a top 5000 take a minus 28???

      1. Smarty Pants
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No idea, maybe he thought that you could play 2 chips in 1 gameweek, made all those transfers, hit triple captain and then couldn't activate wildcard. That would be my guess.

        1. The Tinkerman
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He took a 28 point hit, which included getting in Wilshire, and yet he still overtook me and I'm sure many others on here.

    2. The Tinkerman
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Showing the fine line between a genius and a madman.

  22. Bruno Bruno!!
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku brace is just a one off

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 1 month ago

      One off a hatty?

    2. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      if he is gonna flat track bully he has the fixtures to do it

  23. kinghenry14
    10 years, 1 month ago

    barkley to who? can be any max9.1midfielder and i'm playing wc after next gw

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

    So I Wildcarded this week, and after listening to advice on this site I made the following moves:

    Firmino > sterling
    Walker > Valencia

    Not only that, but I also got convinced against ibra > lukaku

    Thank you so much for the help guys...

    1. Pasqualinho
      10 years, 1 month ago

      On this site you get conflicting advice for any decision. I've seen plenty of pro-Lukaku and Firmino posts. It's up to you to decide which ones you take notice of - not their fault.

    2. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      simple answer dont come on here

    3. Pinky and Brain
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You are such a loser if you blame others. You make decisions and you are responsible for them.

    4. XabiAlonso
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Who you thinking of buying next week p

    5. Sharpe Shuffle
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Grow up. Your decision alone

  25. GENERATION X
    10 years, 1 month ago

    if u have costa and two other form strikers is it wise to wait till his inevitable ban then get kun?

    1. La Roja
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you have strikers doing well, then stick with it

      1. GENERATION X
        10 years, 1 month ago

        yeah wise. its the way city look so deadly tho and with a fresh kun at the tip of it

  26. Ronnies
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think barkley will be benched gw 5 ?

    Tnks

    1. GENERATION X
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i have him and he has to go. either that or play capoue instead

    2. La Roja
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  27. FPL Maldini
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who to play?

    A) Capoue

    B) Barkley

    C) Transfer Barkley to someone else

    1. Brayden29
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C as I wouldn't play Capoue against Man U

  28. itwaswritten
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Payet or Mané?

    1. Brayden29
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mane IMO with Antonio

  29. Brayden29
    10 years, 1 month ago

    With a forward line of Ibra, Lukaku and Benteke all getting goals who do I get rid of to get Agero back in?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Benteke

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

      No one. Banned for the next GW

      1. Brayden29
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I know but when GW6 comes

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Lukaku, see how your money is

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Same front 3, I'm considering doing Ozil + Ibra to Cazorla + Lukaku depending on the performance of those involved in the transferplan. Otherwise I'm probably waiting another week or 2!
