Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Tottenham vs Everton

Having relinquished leads in their last two league ties, Tottenham Hotspur chase a morale-boosting victory over Everton on home turf in today’s tea-time encounter. The Toffees, meanwhile, were outclassed by a superior Manchester City side but will take heart from their dominance over Southampton in a 3-0 win on their first road trip.

Spurs rank sixth for shots inside the box (27) and big chances (six) this season but suffer from a poor shot conversion rate (7.3%). Of more concern to Mauricio Pochettino, his troops still haven’t discovered that optimum balance between attack and defence, given that they rank joint-fourth with regards to big chances conceded (six).

Despite netting five goals this term, Everton have chalked up just ten shots on target, so there’s certainly scope for the Merseysiders to improve on the attacking front. On the flipside, they’ve only conceded two big chances against Watford, Saints and Man City, which suggests Spurs’ forward line are in for a challenging contest.

      How many Leicester team doctors do you think are on here?

      1. ZTF
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        None mate. But I said when will we know?

          Sorry, you just seemed to be asking over and over again and I was beginning to not notice the subtle differences. I'm pleased your question led to Demi's pointing out there had been a minor update though. 🙂

    2 FT, 0.5m itb

    Butland - McCarthy
    Gomez - Darmian - Williams - Richards - Kolarov
    Chadli - Payet - Mahrez - Sanchez - Silva
    Gomis - Aguero - Watmore

    thinking of getting in Wilson and Westwood to go into a 343 and debating who to sell in mid along with Watmore

    A) Chadli
    B) Payet
    C) Mahrez

    leaning B since he's not a goalscoring mid

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Payet

    2. TRIMM-TRABB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd agree with B - considering the same move in a similar team

  6. jozycabral

    Everton could nick this.

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years

      Hope not

  8. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Sorry but I can't abide people coming on here pretending they don't know the terrible average and yet post "Is 40 with 4 to play decent?" Right, pass me the rum..

    Hi.....any views on this wildcard team please?...

    Schmeichal McCarthy
    Kolarov Evans (wba) francis ward Richards
    Pedro Silva Sanchez lens Westwood
    Kun Wilson gomis

    How's that looking?

    1. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Redmond for Lens. Sinclair for Westwood.

    2. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years

      Looks good

  11. Wild Rover

    We're actually pretty shite at this game aren't we? Who are we kidding, they are not casuals, they just don't over think things 😉

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 9 Years

      I am brilliant at this game.

      My 3 million OR is a lie!

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Aye. My advice is to forget all about OR and concentrate just on mini leagues. It makes taking hits a lot more user friendly and makes the whole game less demoralising. OR is like a slow torture.

    3. Del Griffith

      lets see at the end of the season but so far your right there

      Can I have some?

  14. Dr Dream

    Krul is the third highest scoring keeper after what was supposed to be their nightmare start. We may as well just stick a pin in when choosing our keepers.

    2. the cromulent one
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      It is always the case with keepers. No correlation between price and total score. But that does not make it any easier to pick the right one...

    Feels like I'm the only one who didn't get Wilson back in. 🙁

  16. Ibralicious

    Is Wilson set to rise tonight? Would it be a better idea to wait for the results of Saints' fixture tomorrow to ship Pelle out for him? :/

    How many FPL players does it take to change a light bulb?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years

      2.5 million

    2. Wilshere Knowledge

      None.

      Our rooms our lit by our monitors as we stare for hours at our FPL teams.

      We don't change light bulbs, that is knee jerking. We show faith that eventually they will light up again. Or we just wildcard and move house.

  18. the cromulent one
    • 11 Years

    This game really needs a red card or two...

    Funny old game football isn't it!

    Who'd have thought that after only 4 matches, the reigning champions are EIGHT points off the leaders?

    That Man Utd and Liverpool would have only scored twice. That Aguero would have 1 goal, Hazard Rooney and Kane none at all.

    That 66% of Arsenal's small tally of 3 goals would be scored by their opponents.

    That only 7 of the 37 matches so far would have resulted in home wins.

    That Leicester would have got 8 points..yes I know they finished last season strongly but most thought Ranieri a strange appointment!

    That neither Stoke, Southampton or Spurs, all fancied for the top 8, would have failed to win so far.

    That Chelsea wouldn't have won at home.

    That the highest placed of the promoted sides would be the one who failed to go up automatically.

    Let's hope things settle down soon, for the sake of us FF players!

    8 years, 8 months ago

    Which one is better
    1) WC + Sanchez(Stoke) + Benteke(mun) + 0.4million
    2) Hold WC + Ozil(Stoke) + Mane(wba) + hit of (-4) for remaining similar team

  24. George Agdgdgwngo

    Is pedro still protected? Not sure if his price will go up tonight?

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

    As a Kane owner, I'm feeling robbed of at least 10 pts by this game.

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Because he cant finish this season?

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You still a Kane owner shows you are a fearless man any dare rob!

  26. Yankee Toffee

    Eric Dire.

  27. legendaryjordan

    1. Sheep Flavour
      • 12 Years

      They are a great bank.

  28. Harper (No more Penandes)

    Who got bonus points in the Arsenal game?

  29. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Can't wait to trigger this wildcard. At least it'll keep me busy over the international break..
