Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – West Brom vs Everton

West Bromwich Albion and Everton look to send off Gameweek 7 in style as they do battle at The Hawthorns this evening. Recent form would suggest that this match-up will be a tightly contested affair, considering that the two sides have conceded just one goal between them in the last trio of Gameweeks.

The Tony Pulis effect is in full motion for the Baggies, as evidenced by their four clean sheets in five league outings. However, the West Midlanders haven’t fared as well at the other end of the pitch, ranking second-bottom for goals scored (four). Only one side (Newcastle, with 19) has carded fewer shots on target than West Brom’s 20, which will be music to the ears of Fantasy managers holding Everton defenders.

Although the Toffees have earned just one victory in their previous four matches, Roberto Martinez’s men endured the toughest start of any league outfit. The Merseysiders have excelled outside of Goodison Park and – like West Brom – are yet to concede a single goal on their travels. That being said, the hosts will be optimistic of breaching Everton’s defence, given that the visitors have afforded their opponents 49 attempts (31 in the box ) in three road trips already.

    The fallout on here for Myhil owners could be painful. He was poor today and Pulis obviously has doubts about him after buying Lindegaard

      yep, would not be surprised to see him dropped

        I was really thinking about bringing Myhil in this week. Bullet potentionally dodged. I wonder if there are many Mccarthy +Myhill owners

              It was a risk - can't be too upset after Myhill's hauls

      Looks like I'm keeperless next week then. He was great for a while though

      Seems like an overreaction to me. Myhill could have maybe smothered the 3rd one, but other than that he can't be expected to save close range strikes like that. Plus I've not heard anything to suggest that Pulis doesn't rate Myhill? Lindegaard was a free signing to boost the depth given the length of Foster's time out.

        Agreed, with the space they HAD to give Deulofeu, it was only a matter of time before the rest of the Everton back four...apart from Funes Mori, figured out it was probably a good idea to get to the side with the guy Barca wished they still had.

        1. Manamongst
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 7 months ago

          with that came the danger for WBA...two of his earlier balls were sitters waiting to happen...

          1. Barry Woj
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 7 months ago

            Exactly. Not to mention the changes in WBA back 4 before and during the game.

    Congrats to the people on here who got a WBA defender the week before last.

        Dawson was the week before's bandwagon, Evans was this week's. If you got Dawson this week, fair play to you. 🙂

        Am I out of your comp you think?

    Lukaku will score double digit numbers in the next 3 (LIV, MUN, ars) and then start blanking constantly after when everyone will jump on the bandwagon. I am sure.

        Yeah, and I should have captained Sanchez.

        Oh, and Chris Robshaw should have taken penalty kick at goal with 3 minutes to go 😆

        Arrogant so-and-so 😉

    The Lukaku effect is going to happen to Gomis this upcoming week and Swansea has 2 home games, just hold for Gomis dont sell yet.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      I think Lukaku is a better player when he's on form than Gomis

  19. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 7 months ago

    Someone should tell Pulis Myhill is still the top scoring stopper in FPL.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years

      I'm sure he'll get another chance.

      Only if you already have Vardy.

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 7 months ago

      That's the obvious one, but I think Gestede has as much potential.

      Why would you want a Watford striker? There's better options like Vardy/Sakho

        Already have vary and don't have any more money

        Because those are more expensive.

      depends on your budget

      I think it's Sakho for me, I should never have sold him in the first place

    I shouldn't have sold Schmeichel for Myhill yesterday. 🙁 With Schwarzer as my 2nd gk, I am goalkeeperless.

    I never play safe with my UFPL captaincy but this time I did and stuck on 7 points. Shouldn't complain with 18 points but that was just plain stupid.

    I do like this season though, plenty of choice.

      I made the same decision. I think it was Lukaku's performance in the previous two that dissuaded me.

    so the only 2 clean sheets this weekend were Palace and Man U who play half their midfield at the back.
    AOA next week anyone?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud

      I'm definetly considering it. The only defnders I have worth palying next week are Kolorov (NEW) and Francis (WAT)

      nope

      Evans #1
      Luakaku #2

      What happens if you put them in the same game?
