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.

    Does Mark own Lukaku? Jonty can't be smug over the Costa pick now he was the better pick!

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

      Jonty laughed at Lukaku and Zaha. Be a funny scoutcast.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That he did. Should be a good one. Granville has reason to be cheerful also, sure he advised Innacho and had Wilson and Santi in place

  2. Torres76

    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone missing from this midfield?

    Capoue, Hazard, Antonio, Firmino, Payet?

    Cheers

    1. Better off with a pin and a…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Cazorla.

    2. Teddy Brewski
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Double West Ham? Not keen. Ozil or Cazorla

    Tricky captaincy choice this week

    1. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alexis for me 🙂

    2. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      And how did the WC go bubz?

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

        Pretty well. Lukaku, Baines, Antonio, I kept Firmino. 73 points all out. Captained Hazard though. How was yours?

        1. BB-8
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Pretty good. Ended with 73 myself. (C)osta and Lukaka bailed me out big time

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

    vardy to kane?

  6. Torres76
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone doubling up on Payet and Antonio?

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

      not the best idea imo, this was just a succesful week for both of them

  7. Rider on the Storm
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So who to transfer in:
    A antonio
    B lukaku
    ?

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

      Lukaku essential next GW when lots will captain him

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

    So I see some tasty potential punts next week, and though id like to take a risk on 1 or 2 players, I see no valid reason to get rid of anyone in my current team. Anyone having the same problem?

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

    Anyone getting Kane on their WC as a 1 week placeholder vs Sunderland?

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

      For Aguero

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

        id do it if i had my WC

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

      will do it if I decide to WC this week

  10. Sponge-worthy
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I felt so bad for the boy with cancer. Now I'm crying when you told me about the donation everton made..

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 18 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Got to say, that was an amazing gesture. Very moving.

  11. theAquarian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    hazard/barkley to antonio/de bruyne with a 8pt cost?

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

      Don't get rid of hazard

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

        but hes got alot of difficult matches coming up.

  12. Champione
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Any thoughts on what to do with this team for next GW? 1 FT, 0.5 ITB. Wildcarding GW6

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Stones Friend Kone Amat
    Hazard Mane Sterling Ramirez Capoue
    Ibra Vardy Lukaku

    A) Friend/Kone > Williams
    B) Ramirez > Zaha
    C) Ramirez + Vardy > Antonio + Benteke -4

    Cheers!

        cheers

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

    Ross Barkley ruining Monday like a boss

  14. PassMeTheSwedge
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Should I take Barkley out for a hit? If so, who? I want Antonio but away to West Brom might not be the best option and I plan on WCing before GW6. Anybody else I should think about or should I just hope that he plays?

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

      Take the hit imo

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

    Anyone else considering Bolasie? I mean great price and if he plays well could be valuable, only not sure if he'll start most of the games

  16. Lallana_
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Worth taking Barkley out for a hit for the likes of Antonio or perhaps Lallana?

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

      Play Barkley again next gameweek. He can very well deliver. Don't knee-jerk. If he fails, then you got another transfer to open up more options.

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

    What is currently the best 12m midfielder combo (Capoue excluded)?

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

      One that involves Snodgrass.

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

        But his fixtures are awful...

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

      redmond bolasie

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

    Best midfielder for 6.1? Have capoue.

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

      Wondering the same too. Currently looking at Fer but don't even know if he's good

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

      Snodgrass.

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

        Easily snodgrass could be this seasons hidden gem

  19. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What's everyone doing now with the aguero dilemma?!
    Is he essential GW 6 when you've got a strike force that is successful

    Lukaku ibra Costa/tekkers

    Do we just wait until one blanks?!

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

    How did Ashley Williams play tonight????

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

      Solid!!!!!!!

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

      The little he had to do he did very well

    3. Arceus
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      If not for Bolasie's assist, he'll have 1bps for sure.

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

      I wonder how long it will be before he replaces Jagielka had captain

  21. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Before tonight's price rises

    Collins and Ozil > Walker and Firmino -4

    Yay or Nay

      Have you got your WC?!

      1. Manchester 17
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        no

        1. Baked baines
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Negredo has fluked his price rise and stats not the best and Lamela rotation risk and son challenge

          Antonio and Tekkers

    What's the latest on Andre Gray? Gone a bit quiet

      Your are missing gks

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

    Right is Townsend genuinely playing badly or been unlucky?

    Still think he could be decent? Or Zaha / Bolasie better value?

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

    Be careful on the Swansea pair of Kingsley and Amat. They might be good value but absolutely useless if they don't get any points over the course of the season
