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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Anybody knows the rules 100% regarding penalty saves/misses? Will foster get PK points even if he didn't touch the ball and Miralles missed?

    Please let me know.

      Not a save for FPL

    2. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He didn't save it, so unlikely, I'm afraid

    3. SmoothRossi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      The shot needs to be on target to be saved and so no, he will not get points.

    4. GunsnRoses
      • 12 Years

      He has to touch it before hitting the bar/post

    5. Kagawa-san-mia
      • 12 Years

      if it isnt on the site now it wont ever be, so no he wont get it because he didnt actually save it

    6. Rupert The Horse

      Not a save just as if a striker hits the post it's not on target.

    Lost count of the amount of times I have heard the words "go on so" shouted in this game now.....

      Is it not "go on son"?

    Wonder how many times Lukaku has been offside this season. He gets several per game.

    Could you guys please give me, in your own words, a summary of the reaction when Everton were awarded a penalty, when you realised Mirallas would take it and when he missed.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      Penalty awarded: Baines owners will be happy...
      Mirallas steps up: Haha!
      Mirallas misses: Hahahahahaha!

    WC Team,

    Do you have any comments?
    Im not sure about not haveing Costa, and Im not sure about Sterling, but dont know what to do!

    Foster / Guzan

    Terry / Bertrand / Koscielny / Van Aanholt / Wisdom

    Sterling / Sanchez / Hazard / Di Maria / Boyd

    Aguero / Austin / Kane

    0,0 MITB

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years

      Costa WILL get you more points than Austin/Kane. Whether he's worth sacrificing one of your mids for is a different question I guess

    Taking Baird over Lescott allows Foster over Krul.

    1. FF Dirtbag

      Will Baird stay 3.9 for a while? Thinking about WCing next week rather than this.

    70% of top 10k yet to use wildcard then. I guess that includes people who haven't used the first WC too but still seems high.

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Suppose if you in the top 10k your team is hardly broken, managers probably leaving a successful team alone

    WC problem. Too many defenders I want. Maybe 4 3 3 is the answer?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      Or 4 4 2. Anyone changed the default 3 4 3 formation yet?

        I have occasional 4-3-3
        with Ivanovic,Fonte,Koscilney,Clichy,Wisdom
        3 biggies and JWP+Boyd in midfield
        3 forwards
