Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

The final match of Gameweek 22 gets underway at Goodison this evening as Everton prepare for the visit of Tony Pulis’ West Brom. The new Baggies boss steadied the ship with a 1-0 home win over Hull in his first league match in charge but faces a tough task to turn around his side’s woeful away form, with just two points accrued in their previous five road trips.

Saido Berahino has netted five times in two matches across all competitions since Pulis’ appointment, though, and will fancy his chances of breaching a backline that has conceded in each of the last 11 Gameweeks. The likes of Andre Wisdom and Joleon Lescott are also on Fantasy radars as we look to the “Pulis effect” to transform the West Brom defence.

For the hosts, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas will be looking to kick on from their midweek cup displays at West Ham. Both grabbed a goal apiece in the Upton Park defeat, with the latter also supplying an assist for his compatriot, whilst at the back, Leighton Baines’ two assists in the last three suggest he could yet persuade many Fantasy owners to hold for now as the Toffees attempt to rediscover last year’s form and climb up the table.

    Repost.
    Question:

    Will u do Silva to Cazorla on a WC? probably have to do it tonight, due to the fact Caz rising tonight. Also to price change experts, any chance Silva to rise once again predeadline?

        I have benched him without referring to RMT. Would bench Aguero too if I had him.

    To all double and triple WBA wanna haves - do you realize that Everton scored only three goals in last six matches? Also they lost four ffrom last six matches and drawn two. On the TOP of that WBA survived penalty today. I am not saying thta to own some WBA def is bad, but this match should not be a decising factor for double or triple up on their defense imho...

      this is why I started them ahead of my Sunderland defenders.
      For the price they are likely to offer tremendous value, at a time when all the Saints assets are inflated or injured

    Apologies Basic question- if I wildcard now, can i keep changing until deadline passes for the game week? Just means I wouldn't have to worry then about any cup injuries midweek as can still change out.

    Mirallas stole 18 points from Baines captainers.

    You can now light yourself on fire.

    With a little bit of tweaking I am thinking of swapping Silva and Austin to Di Maria and Giroud (downgrading Sessegnon to muck midifielder to make extra money).

    Am i stupid to get rid of Austin?? I have literally had him from the start but just think his returns are drying up and giroud could be one to go with.

    i had wisdom and foster on the bench... should've played at least one of them but oh well it happens.

    Thoughts on my wildcard? Defenders rotate well and aren't half bad.

    Might get Bellerin if he starts the FA Cup.
