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.

    Reluctantly took a 12 point hit which I never do but had momey after g
    taking Kin out, ended up with 81points overall so pleased with that.

    Just did first and possibly last knee jerk of my FPL career.

    Third goal went in and I did Bony & Sanchez > Caz and Lukaku :/

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

      Good luck, Sanchez my captain next week

    2. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      mucho jerky

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

      I did kun and fellaini to them on Friday.

      Yes I owned fellaini

    Shocking week! WC time already, thoughts much appreciated:

    Foster / Jaku

    Collins / Stones / Evans / Amat / Smith

    Hazard / Fer / Cazorla / Antonio / Capoue

    Costa / Lukaku / Ibra

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

      Would've done well this week

      1. paza12
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, and for the next few weeks?

  4. WDT
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ross Barkley though....

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I dont know what to do with him, I worry that if I take him out he could have a blowout, but there seem to be better options around

      1. Backup Dancer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Get rid. I'm an advocate of patience but he needs to go

      2. Blue&White85
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I think I might downgrade for Bolasie then being in Firmino for Townsend in week 6.

  5. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Want to swear lots about Lukaku. Hadn't scored forever so decided against getting him on Saturday morning. Then casually becomes first Everton player to score a hat-trick away from home for 16 years. *screams into pillow*

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Collins going to be dropped from the West Ham team after Saturday?

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

      Very likely!

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Dont want to waste a transfer on a 4.5 defender switch but might have to be done

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

          If you have cover just wait and see, he was about to rise before their game and he's still on about 90% i think so no chance of losing value

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Other defender is Pieters who did equally terribly so not too happy with my defence

    2. BbBb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He might get one more chance, Ogbonna is surely not match fit

  7. Podge
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Seriously considering Costa to Lukaku

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

      I would, if I didn't have to sell again a week later to get Kun back.

      1. Podge
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Gonna have to decide between Kun and Zlatan, cant have everyone 🙂

    2. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      After 1 game ? and its not like costa did not score a brace a day ago. jeez

      1. Podge
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Fixtures though

        1. Scholes Balls
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          costa scores in big games and then kun comes back. Surely there are other areas of your team to address

      2. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        knee-jerking is a great thing 😀 😀

    1. Podge
      • 14 Years

      I would

    2. marquinhos

    3. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years

      Considering Souare,Barkley,Rondon > Baines,Antonio,Lukaku -8

  13. itwaswritten
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is Lamela playing next week? :worried:

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

      If son hadn't gone mental he was nailed. Only rested due to internationals. Now though...

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        son played on the right when lamela came in, not that worried for his place unless he plays 90 in CL

  14. Clump
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Stinky first 3 GW. This week I'm on WC fire. 86 and a ft to save 🙂

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That's amazing. Well played.

      1. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Needed a win in The Regulars league Berbs. Was looking at relegation!

    3. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    4. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1. Clump

    5. Clump

      Cheers fellas.

  15. Johnny Drama
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Watching the highlights, Lukaku could have scored 5+ today

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yup easily

  16. paza12
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How come barkley came off at half time?

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

      Played badly.

  17. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Yeah. Lukaku Baines and Bolasie hoovering up the baps for me as well....

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wow, what a triple up. Nicely done.

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

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

  19. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wish I could slap Ibrahimovic and Alexis. Gtfo

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Cue both to score a brace this weekend.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          20 is known as a score. I checked for you.

    2. Kanye West Ham
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      71.

      And I had Hazard as a C...

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

      77

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        and over £160 profit on the night 😀

    4. BbBb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      63 with 274 overall total

  22. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    People considering Costa to Lukaku is a crazy knee jerk.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        9 years, 3 months ago

        It would seem that way but Costa's fixtures are turning, Evertons are good. And it's only a matter of time before Costa gets sent off or banned for accumulation of yellows

      • Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        +1

    2. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Pretty meaningless but I've hit 50+ pts in every gameweek thus far.

      Not doing amazing but pretty happy with my start.

    3. Pinky Blinders
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Was that the first hatty of the year?

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

      Which transfer is more urgent as a one week punt?

      A) Gray to Iheanacho

      B) Barkley to Antonio

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

        Barkley > Antonio

      2. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        B

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

        B imo

        If you get Inhenacho your are going to have to transfer him out again next week since Aguero will be back

      4. Gascoigne8
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        For 1 week I'd go Iheanacho

      5. Hanniballus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A

    5. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Best move from these? Thanks

      A. Gray -> Iheanacho
      B. Barkely -> Sterling
      C. Gray/Barkley -> Lukaku/Snodgrass (-4)

      Foster/ Jaku
      Valencia / Morgan / Stones / Amat / Friend
      Hazard / Firmino / Sanchez / Barkley / Capoue
      Tekkers / Ibra / Gray

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

        Need triple Everton

      2. MarvelouSuccess
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        C

        1. _Ninja_
