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.

      Everton defence the only part of their team worth picking

  2. Belsunz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bloody typical, but totally understandable: Barkley was awful all first half...

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Barkley to Antonio

    Thanks Ross 🙂

    I was wondering who to take out

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Am going to do the same move

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Blessing in disguise probably

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hopefully! I just hope that Antonio doesn't play in defense

    2. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Actually relieved with that transfer! Such an easy move

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

      Every cloud and all that.

    4. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I liked Antonio's low ownership 🙁

  4. Wilshere Knowledge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku is constantly second to the ball...

  5. Forever In Our Shadow

    10 years, 1 month ago

    Koeman saw the game we did. Barkley rubbish and off. Good man.

  6. TheSteel
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Tough luck Barkely owners

  7. Rainer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Barkley LOLOL

  8. Back on the horse
    10 years, 1 month ago

    It's hard to pick the players that score the most points

  9. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Should've sold him to Man City when they were offering mad money for him

  10. MarvelouSuccess
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Rate my CL team

    Oblak

    Umtiti Felipe Fabinho

    Modric Rakitic Sterling Alonso

    Ronaldo Aubameyang Lewandowski

    Livakovic L. Hernandez Glik Mor

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Umtiti a bit rotations risk, there are better picks than Modric or Rakitic

  11. Park the bus
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Taking some comfort at Barkely being subbed only to remember you sold Deulofeu for -4 and know he will now score a brace

  12. Bubz
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku's runs are the most predictable runs in football

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

      Thats his problem right now. Predictable.

    2. Jamie_GAWA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      His runs are more predictable than Rainers posts being stupid

      Jk 😉

  13. FPLHaggis

  16. Les Bleus

    Bolasie looking very dangerous.

  17. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Why was Barkley subbed?

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

      Had a bad game

    2. TheSteel
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He looked like a bag of milk out there

  18. Bøwstring The Carp
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Am I right in thinking Mirallas is on FKs now that Barkley is gone off?

  19. Jafooli
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford having a stormer....

    1. PvA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      More points on the bench! 😀

  20. La vida FPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who's more of a troll... Barkley or Lukaku?

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

      No difference.

    2. Numb
      10 years, 1 month ago

      LUKAKU!!!!!

  21. Worzel Gummidge
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford you are really cruising for a knuckle sandwich.

  22. Pierce34
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I was on Barkley for ages on my wildcard, then switched to Antonio last minute. At least I got one thing right...

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

    my decision to bring in antonio over barkley for this gw is now vindicated.

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

      Same. Good job i did too.

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

        just an everton clean sheet to round of a decent GW.

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

      You mean it wasn't with 2 goals??

  24. Syd.
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Wow

    That turn of pace from Lukaku

  25. Desperately Seeking Dusan
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Instead of the captains poll they need to run a Troll Poll. I'm not sure who's the biggest troll, Trollkaku, Barkley or Wenger who I'm convinced waits until 11:30am every Saturday to see my team and then drop any Arsenal players I have. Mark my words the admission will come years from now in a biography.

  26. PvA
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lukaku has been pocketed

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

      Kone showing everton what they are missing.

  27. BadgersBoys
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kone bossing Trollaku.

  28. A.T
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Shocked by that Barkley substitution!

    1. Jazz!
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well he was crap the entire first half

    2. BadgersBoys
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's been shocking, not the only one though. Still shocked he was take off at half time though.

    3. Jamie_GAWA
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Where is Mr Hindseight when you need him to explain

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

      Not really. Koeman a hard man to please. You wait until hos presser afterwards. He will tell it how it is. Barkely poor.

  29. Kante Be Bothered
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Only s Sunderland win of 1-0 will make my GW decent

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