Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Burnley

After Arsenal eased past Brighton at the Emirates, we now make our way to Merseyside as Everton welcome Burnley to Goodison Park.

The Toffees’ start to the season has been far from convincing yet they have scored seven goals in their last three home matches across all competitions.

Budget frontmen Oumar Niasse and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – at 5.0 apiece in FPL – are both handed starts but Wayne Rooney’s 11% FPL owners are left disappointed as Ronald Koeman drops him to the bench for the first time this season.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to stake a claim for our five-man midfields ahead of clashes with Brighton, Leicester, Watford and Palace in the next five.

But Burnley’s away form will worry the home side.

Sean Dyche’s men have claimed points on the road at Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool, with Robbie Brady and Chris Wood looking their likeliest source of attacking points.

Like their hosts, the Clarets also have fine upcoming fixtures – they entertain West Ham, Newcastle and Swansea and travel to Southampton in the subsequent five.

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Luiz, Davies, Otamendi, Jones (Hunemeier)
    Salah, Silva, Richarlison (Carroll, Carrick)
    Kane, Morata, Jesus

    How does this WC look? Feel a bit nervous with no United attack, but otherwise think it looks good...

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      Well.. I guess you will have to give up on Morata

    In that peculiar position where I don't want Mee to haul because he's on my bench but don't want him to blank because he will 100 % drop in price. What to hope for? 🙁

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Assist but concede two goals

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years

      he is the best 4,5M def, why the feck will he drop?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Because casuals only look at the points you've got. He's on -97%, if he blanks here he'll drop for sure.

      Strange case of pounds Vs points, just a cleanie I guess

    4. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Goal with no cleanie, not too big a haul to really hurt but stands out as best Bur option

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      richarlison now, he will rise soon

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

      Internationals? I guess if you've got 2 FT it's worth the risk

  23. Jason Bourne
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Hopefully Coutinho scores a brace so I can get him in for salah and catch the quadruple price rise

  26. Pranav Santhosh
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    The ref would get in the way

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kane -> Niasse

  28. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
