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.

      😯 For not saving it?

        He deserves them for making him miss

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

          Agreed should be the case

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If he saved it he will......but he didnt save it.

        I've been over this a few times. I'm an owner but unfortunately he got no touch.

        I also own Mirallas. 🙂

      no he wont

    7. Rupert The Horse

      The post might.

  6. Valar(Keith)

    Wanna keep Pantilimon since i got him @4.4 and play him every week with Wisdom in defense.. however, a double up with foster looking more tempting now

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I've not got Panti, would you even bother now?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        it's his save points that's the draw.. however, Foster + Wisdom looks brilliant right about now. I may go with Wisdom + Baird in defense and keep Panti though

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          The thing is Terry and Arsenal defender are a lock for me on wc, so 2 WBA defenders seems excessive for my needs. I can easily go something like

          Foster/Myhill

          Terry, Kos, PvA, WBA, Hutton

          1. FF Dirtbag
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            No southampton defence?

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              can't have everyone

    2. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think it's necessary to double up you need to be careful with these things.

  7. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Think Panti maybe getting crossed off the wc essential list

    Foster/Myhill

    Terry, Kos, WBA, PvA, Hutton

    1. FF Dirtbag
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      panti is pretty impressive still. I wouldn't get rid of him if you already have him. Wouldn't get him in for his price now..

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I don't have him

    Currently have Foster, Myhill, Wisdom.

  15. FF Dirtbag
    • 12 Years

    Do I need to WC this week or can I wait until next?

    Panti Alnwick
    Koscielny Clyne Bertrand Naylor Yun
    Hazard DiMaria Sanchez Silva Boyd
    Austin Aguero Kane

    Any opinions would be appreciated!

  16. Silent Alarm

    Question. Would Martinez have subbed Mirallas if he had scored?

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

      Nope

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

      no

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No, rage sub!!

    4. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years

      If he is a strong manager, yes. But I'm not sure he is.

  17. Jazz!

    For next week? Who to play

    A) Foster + PVA
    B) Pants + PVA
    C) Foster + Wisdom
    D) Pants + Wisdom

    1. U-jin King™
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      pants PVA

  18. Mull
    • 12 Years

    Waiting for them to take Vertonghen's goal away from me.

  19. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Stop it all. It's not his fault. He is Belgium .

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Benched Foster, played Krul...

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm now thinking keeper rotation isn't worth it

      Foster and Myhill with a WBA defender could be the way to go. That way you can rotate the WBA defender but still gets points if they get an unexpected CS

  21. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    can i come out from behind the sofa now

  22. Lavaman
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Alex Bruce to Baird on a free.... Easiest transfer I ever made 🙂

    Surely his value will increase now right?

  23. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    If like me your only tranny was Mirallas in you just have to laugh. The second after his boot connected with that pen my luck ran out - and I've had a fair slice to get to OR59.

    This might mean its wildcard time with Siggy cluttering up the place as well.

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

      Congrats on the awesome rank. Shame it didn't work out for you tonight 🙁

      (actually, I'm a Wisdom and Baird owner, so I'm pleased that he missed, but still feel for you!)

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

    Panti or Foster as sole keeper on WC?

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

      Foster.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Think I'm going Foster, with PvA for Sunderland

    3. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Considerin his teammate his 0.2 cheaper and hence giving you a permagoalie for less it looks like Foster

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        0,4 cheaper if you don't already have Panti

  25. Declan
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Average 52.6

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

      Oh fook

      If I hadn't benched Wisdom id been ok

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      really 🙁

  26. johnbarnes
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Guzan (Gilks)
    Terry-Bertie-Baines (Hutton, Dummett)
    Alexis-Hazard-Siggy-Sterling (Downing)
    Costa-Kane-Austin

    A) Sterling>ADM + Guzan>Pants (-4)
    B) WC the lot, and get the usual suspects (Wisdom, Foster, Pants, PVA, Kun etc.)

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B

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

        why? price rises? I got the feeling Aguero is not that useful next gw, Baines could put points on the board, and I want Man U cover only for LEI, not after.

  27. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…

    Fixtures improve for my players a bit now so hoping to avoid a 7th red arrow in 2 weeks time..
