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.

  1. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Cazorla or Antonio?

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

    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
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is it going to be GW4 every week?

    2. Sz21
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Where is ur Eve defender?

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Of course

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

        Time to get rid! Hello Mané

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

      Started playing once he went off

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Had a dreadful 45. Could easily warm bench next week

  4. Shifty
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Barkley Gray > Antonio Kane (-4)?

    Or would Lukaku be the better option.

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

      Kane

  5. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Deulofeu done enough to warrant a start against Boro?

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      if Bolasie injured then yes...

      1. Limbo
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Barkley could be benched

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        could be....

  8. John wick

    Any1 thinking of demebele

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

      I'm sure he's safe and sound

      1. Are you Shaw?
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        hahaha nice one

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

      what has dembele done?

      1. John wick
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

        1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          are you for real?

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

    Do I...

    A) WC

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

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Could be.

        Don't remember.

      2. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Bournemouth

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

        It was they put 6 past them

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

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

      1. pundit of punts
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        😀

        Gone into hiding now.

    3. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Silly Billy!

  10. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Both mate

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        So a -8 including Souare?

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

          short term pain, long term gain.

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

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

      1. Spg76
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Already got Capoue

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering pereyra.

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

        Same here, him and Deeney on my watchlist.

  13. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Iheanacho

  14. top556677
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

  15. Everyday im Schneiderlin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best 4.0 keeper?

    Need funds to bring kaku in.

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

      pickford

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

      Pickford

    3. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd pick Ford or Toyota.

  17. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
    9 years, 3 months ago

    considering redmond and zlatan to mane/firmino and lukaku

    madness???

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

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

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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 …

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

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

      ?

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

        "too"

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

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

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

      What kind of stupid question is that?

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

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

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

        😆

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

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

  21. Smarty Pants
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Smarty Pants
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months 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
          9 years, 3 months 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
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Showing the fine line between a genius and a madman.

  22. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku brace is just a one off

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      One off a hatty?

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

  24. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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
      9 years, 3 months ago

      simple answer dont come on here

    3. Pinky and Brain
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      Who you thinking of buying next week p

    5. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Grow up. Your decision alone

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

      If you have strikers doing well, then stick with it

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

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

  26. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Do we think barkley will be benched gw 5 ?

    Tnks

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

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

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

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

    Who to play?

    A) Capoue

    B) Barkley

    C) Transfer Barkley to someone else

    1. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      C as I wouldn't play Capoue against Man U

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

    Payet or Mané?

    1. Brayden29
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mane IMO with Antonio

  29. Brayden29
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Benteke

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No one. Banned for the next GW

      1. Brayden29
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I know but when GW6 comes

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

      Maybe Lukaku, see how your money is

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months 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!
