Versus – Coleman and Baines

In retrospect, it seems that a lacklustre defeat at Watford in Gameweek 15 has been the making of Everton’s season.

Since that 3-2 loss at Vicarage Road, the Toffees have finally clicked under Ronald Koeman, chalking up five wins and a draw in the subsequent seven league fixtures.

The Dutchman’s decision to roll out a wing-back system has been key to their recent ascent.

Everton have chalked up four clean sheets in the last five Gameweeks, bringing both Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines onto our radars as the Merseysiders offer the perfect combination of form and fixtures for the foreseeable future.

Identically priced in Fantasy Premier League at 5.6 apiece, and with clashes against Stoke, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, West Brom and Hull City over the next seven Gameweeks, we assess the Toffees duo’s recent displays as we look for the most appealing route into Koeman’s much-improved rearguard.

    Any news on George friend? I've got yellow arrows appearing everywhere..

    I've got a nasty feeling Joe Allen is going to somehow survive another week...

    Welbz rested for midweek? Or simply having his minutes managed?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not match fit.

      I think we'll need his energy for Chelsea though.

            I've got Baines already. Had him for the last 4 weeks. But obvs you want to buy Coleman so are encouraging others to buy Baines. That is pretty poor IMO.

              Baines is a good player isn''t he? If I was promoting a bad player like Diomande then ok fairs

                Is Coleman better?

    It's not Arsenal FC, it's Alexis FC

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years

      Won't be next season

  8. FPL Maldini

    This Walcott double must have Giroud owners quaking surely?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not for Watford. He is out for Lukaku after the Watford game for me.

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I'm not so sure he will start Watford.

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

      1. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I mean it puts Giroud's long term security in huge doubt

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not really, I doubt many here ever saw him as a long term option.

    2. Speédy

  11. HurriKane

    Theo Back with a Brace.

    Giroud minutes under risk ?

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Very. Welbeck also looking good.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes and Welby too,bound to be question marks over Giroud now.

  12. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Should I buy Lallana, Pedro or Antonio atm? Got no Chelsea or Pool coverage btw cheers

    1. PvA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team, I think Antonio though

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pedro

    3. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Antonio, no blanks

    4. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pedro for me of those.

    5. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have both Pedro and Lallana and thinking of getting rid of Lallana if that helps

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My week's transfer was Lallana to Antonio fwiw.

  13. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    People still think Giroud will start against Watford?

    I'm keeping for one more week, so hoping for the best.

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

      He will start

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You were also adamant that Aguero would start vs Burnley. I'm not so sure.

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

          City play West Ham........ He will start

          1. Numb
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            I mean when they played Burnley recently.

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

              That was the christmas period which has a lot more rotation risk

              He came on at HT and scored

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      90% cert

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Decreasing by the minute 😉

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A lot are saying he will start but I wouldn't be so sure. They are clearly better without him, Wally, Welbz and Sanchez are so much more suited to the Arsenal style

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I agree. I wasn't sure he would start even before Walcott today. He may start but it's in the balance imo.

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Think Giroud will be dropped for Chelsea.

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          This is it. 100%. I said this a few days ago and am fairly certain that Sanchez will start up front with Wally back.

      3. Chris_White
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, totally agree. Wally and Welbz injury records will hopefully make Arsene start Giroud anyways

      4. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Walcott & Welbeck are both just back from injury there is very little chance of them starting midweek

    4. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think so. Think if wenger was going to start Walcott he would have subbed him by now.

    5. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He'll start, Theo and Welbeck won't go back-to-back, especially so quickly. Welbeck and Theo back against Chelsea I'd think.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        this. they might play alexis as false9 against chelsea with a packed mid with theo.or welbz

    6. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      zero point in trying to second guess Wenger.
      Normal manager Giroud starts and Welbeck comes on as a sub. Long-term injury player returning normally = managed minutes.
      3-nil up away from home you rest your star player not bring him on as a sub.

  14. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    As trolly as Wally can be, there is simply not one player in that price bracket who can rival his points. With Wally, you can legit expect a goal/assist every game.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Agree , if fit , no one better

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        in the price range

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Fitness is the issue though - how did such a minor injury take him so long to recover from?

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Yep, but looks ok now. Can he stay fit for a prolonged period though ? hope

            1. fedolefan
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              He won't, but with the replacements in mind, he's arguably worth the hassle of a transfer in and a transfer out.

  15. Sweetboi
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Pedro to start against Chelsea?

    1. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Now that would be something, obviously meant against Liverpool.

  16. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Funes Mori is the answer. Saves you 1.0m and headache over Baines vs Coleman.

    1. PvA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, but if you can't afford him go Baines

  17. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Will Aguero play vs Westham?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully. Minor knock, but Pep seems to be looking for excuses to leave him out.

  18. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Why did Alexis have to come on?

    Aguero and Friend already major doubts for me 🙁

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hardly gonna get injured here, why the concern

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        You never know. One bad challenge.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      When did Kun get flagged?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        "He started at Palace with Sergio Aguero left out due to what City called a 'minor knock'..."

          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Like I said in an earlier post before pep even said he was a doubt. I was at the game and he look uncomfortable. Like he was in a bit of pain. Kept stopping off the ball.

          This was in the first half when it happened and he played the rest of the game. I doubt it's anything really bad. I'm sure it's precaution

  19. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years

    Looks like Sanchez captain again this week. Arsenal are flat track bully.

    lallana to walcott going to be a popular transfer soon

    1. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Except the blanks.

  21. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Which transfer?

    A) Lallana to Sterling

    B) Lallana and Evans --> Phillips and Baines (-4)

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

    2. Rolls-Royce

      B all day everyday

    3. Speédy
      • 7 Years

      B gives you two nailed on gw 28 players

    4. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
