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.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Sunderland

    2. Clump

    Four point hit for cazorla and lukaku

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        About 216 in returns.

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years

      Lovely stuff.

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      YES

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That last pass to Kone as a "chance created."

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years

      Woooo

  12. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If you are on the same points as someone in your ML.

    What decides who is higher? Alphabetical?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      # of transfers made i think

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Funniest team name

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Coolest team name.

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think has something to do with the number of transfers you made. Failing that someone said it rests on your FPL ID number, seems unlikely to me, but basically the longest serving FPL player will be ahead according to that poster, can't remember who it was.

    5. Carpe Diem
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      fewer transfers

      1. FPL Maldini
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Does WC count in that?

  13. GARYNEVILLESTASH
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I have no regrets in having swapped a striker in and out with an eight point hit when that striker is Lukaku, unfortunately I didn't do that this week aha.

  14. fusen
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku gas scored three here because he basically hasn't been marked. It was like the sunderland defenders couldn't see he was on the pitch.

    I doubt other teams will be so utterly shockingly bad

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      There's an element of truth there - but all three were excellently crafted by the assisters - Bolasie's cross in particular.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He can score when being marked too you know, could lose his marker

    3. World XI
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have had it will Lukaku. I Brought him in this week and he misses a sitter and hits the crossbar.

      Lukaku > Anyone

      I don't usually engage in the 'lol @' childishness but...

      lol @ you

      1. Slam
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have to say I agree with you, he's been saying he's a bad pick without any real stats tbh.
        Hasn't scored in so and so games is his only stat actually

        1. Walden
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yep. I'll take my 34 pts merrily though... 🙂

      2. Johan Queef
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You almost couldn't script it.

    5. The Left Duke #3
      • 11 Years

      18 points from 9 players inc Hazard captain before tonight. Worst GW in recent memory before Lukaku and Baines to the rescue. Happy days

    6. Rains of Castamere
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Baines on for 2 BAPS!

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks, bro. I will gladly accept the Lukaku hattie as my salvation, but I did quite poorly this gw. I did not even get half of your score!

    9. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      PVA OOP ESSENTIAL

    10. Oliver Tockman
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm happy for Lukaku (c) but it won't be a dismal Sunderland defense every week; he has to be more clinical.

    11. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is it crazy that I'm more excited by Mirallas looking nailed than i am interested in Lukaku....?

    12. For Fuchs Sake
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ah good Lukaku didn't seem to be limping at the end there.
