Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Everton

Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.

                  He was great punt and started the game as if he would have grabbed a brace.

                  Have a beer lad, unlucky

    Not a lot out there for transfers this week.

    Anyone else thinking of going in with just 10 starters? Not sure many are worth taking a hit for.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      May get Schlupp for Hutton but yeah having 10 isn't the worst idea

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dann, Punchron, Baines, Yaya,Lukaku, Murray,Brunt.

    3. Numb

      Prepare for DGW?

    4. xSJG
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm getting Schlupp in for Koscielny, that'll bring me to 10 players. Honestly I'm not complaining with 10, it'll be worth it when the DGW comes around

        Oh hell...That's just really bad luck for his new owners. I very nearly did that one.

        Unlucky....It's the one part of the game that really sucks. I had the same with Naughton last week.

        Matic???

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Matic has been good until the last month or so

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Also. Triple Saints defense is risky

            1. Numb
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, Ivanovic should be in there

      2. Saniul

      Kosc? He hasn't had a great season tbh

    4. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ivan over Clyne surely.

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Skrtel over Kosc maybe?

    5. Jafooli

      No Lennon?

    Was a great goal for people with no coverage in this game.

    1. davies
      • 9 Years

      Aye. Will take a Emnes goal no assist, too, please.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes for FPL but I have Coleman in another game so conflicted!

    2. HVT

    Gomis WTF i can'tsay any thing this so bad and unlucky

  19. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Brought in Remy and Jags last night and benched Jags ready for next week and a good run in...Looks like it may have been a decent investment the way Everton are going of late.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, the Everton of last season is back at last

    2. davies
      • 9 Years

      How's their fixtures?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Good enough. Coleman is the best pick but he may impact on the money needed for DGWers...

        Pts gained by all of Baines, Jags and Cleman these past few weeks has been pretty damned good. All three are just below the Soton lads for pts now...amazingly...

  20. AIRMILES
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just saw Gomis was taken off early. What happened? Look bad?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hamstring. 2-3 weeks out I reckon.

    2. Royal5

      Carrick and Ozil have both started less than half of the matches so far.

  24. RSe

    Thinking Sanchez and Naughton to Fab and Baines may be my moves this week.

    Phillips, Cout and Giroud on bench for blank.

    Matic - Coquelin
    Sanchez - Silva - Hazard
    Kane

    1. La Roja

      Shirley Morgan ahead of Coq and I'm an arsenal fan

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I didn't want to put in too many Saints players 😉 I couldn't make my mind up on that spot.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Or Austin ahead of Coq too

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Not a fan of 4-4-2 😉

    2. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Would have Austin ahead of Silva.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Got a personal problem with ol' Charlie so that probably blinkered my vision. Also think Silva is an outstanding player who has had his best season so couldn't ignore.

    3. Numb
      • 9 Years

      Ha ha, I forgot about Silva!

    Only Jenkinson's goal and clean sheet can save my GW now.

    But he will probably concede atleast 2 and get yellow card. 😛

    1. Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Surely a premature damning of the GW? Still got a few more to play so hope remains 😛

      My condolences about gomis tho - I nearly went there myself and i thought he was a great option - extremely unlucky.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        My team is so template. Jenkinson and Gomis were my differentials.

  29. mgilbert86

    fielding 10 for next week, assuming no injuries, ozil to puncheon?

  30. sinik
