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.

    Cazorla or Antonio?

    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
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Is it going to be GW4 every week?

    2. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Where is ur Eve defender?

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days 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

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 17 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Of course

      1. Arctic_Orangutans
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Time to get rid! Hello Mané

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Started playing once he went off

    3. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Had a dreadful 45. Could easily warm bench next week

  4. Shifty
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Barkley Gray > Antonio Kane (-4)?

    Or would Lukaku be the better option.

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Kane

  5. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Deulofeu done enough to warrant a start against Boro?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      if Bolasie injured then yes...

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Barkley could be benched

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        could be....

  8. John wick

    Any1 thinking of demebele

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'm sure he's safe and sound

      1. Are you Shaw?
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        hahaha nice one

    2. MarvelouSuccess
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      what has dembele done?

      1. John wick
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

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

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          are you for real?

  9. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Do I...

    A) WC

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

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

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

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Could be.

        Don't remember.

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Bournemouth

      3. Backup Dancer
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        It was they put 6 past them

    2. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        😀

        Gone into hiding now.

    3. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Silly Billy!

  10. Cok3y5murf
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Both mate

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        So a -8 including Souare?

        1. MarvelouSuccess
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 10 days ago

          short term pain, long term gain.

  11. The Tinkerman
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

      1. Spg76
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Already got Capoue

    2. how now brown cow
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'm considering pereyra.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        Same here, him and Deeney on my watchlist.

  13. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Iheanacho

  14. top556677
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      A

  15. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Best 4.0 keeper?

    Need funds to bring kaku in.

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      pickford

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Pickford

    3. HVT
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      I'd pick Ford or Toyota.

  17. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    considering redmond and zlatan to mane/firmino and lukaku

    madness???

    1. MarvelouSuccess
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

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

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days 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
    • 15 Years

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

    1. Rainer
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      ?

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

        "too"

  20. Kante Be Bothered
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

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

    1. Budweiser
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      What kind of stupid question is that?

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

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

      2. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        😆

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

  21. Smarty Pants
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

      1. Smarty Pants
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 10 days 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
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 10 days 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
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Showing the fine line between a genius and a madman.

  22. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years

    Lukaku brace is just a one off

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years

      One off a hatty?

    2. GENERATION X

  24. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 10 days 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      simple answer dont come on here

    3. Pinky and Brain
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

    4. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years

      Who you thinking of buying next week p

    5. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Grow up. Your decision alone

  25. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      If you have strikers doing well, then stick with it

      1. GENERATION X
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

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

  26. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Do we think barkley will be benched gw 5 ?

    Tnks

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

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

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Yes

  27. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Who to play?

    A) Capoue

    B) Barkley

    C) Transfer Barkley to someone else

    1. Brayden29
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      C as I wouldn't play Capoue against Man U

  28. itwaswritten
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 10 days ago

    Payet or Mané?

    1. Brayden29
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Mane IMO with Antonio

  29. Brayden29
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 10 days 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
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Benteke

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      No one. Banned for the next GW

      1. Brayden29
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 10 days ago

        I know but when GW6 comes

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 10 days ago

      Maybe Lukaku, see how your money is

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 10 days 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!
