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.

    Sandro Ramirez looks about 35 years old. How is he younger than me?

      It’s depressing that I said the same thing about Gianluigi Buffon recently.

    I might bring Firmino in next gw.

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        He will be priced 8.4 by the end of this break :S

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

          Vardy for 8.5

      2. FlockofSeagulls

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Because I took him out when everyone brought him in and that worked out great.

        Plus, maybe this is the kick in the butt he needed to come back firing.

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

          Makes sense could be a good differential in that case

    3. *sigh*

    5. FPL Pillars

      • 7 Years

      Great outlet for Burnley, ain't much use in FPL. They wont score enough goals.

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

        Oh definitely a terrible fpl player I just meant great performance in general fpl aside

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He has impressed me, tidy finisher, strong with decent ball control. Pity he is not 5.5

      Everton getting into good situations, but no one looks like scoring

  7. SuperMane Returns

  8. Pranav Santhosh
    • 7 Years

  9. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years

    Trying to find a balance between wanting Everton to lose and get relegated and Burnley losing their CS, make it happen lads

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Both are viable. If only one, then I'd choose B.

  18. Ha.

    Got to say I hate watching Burnley. They are a poor team, but their opposition need to show them some respect. Trying to pass your way through them is stupid, you need to win those free-kicks and penalties by running at their defenders and getting them to commit to tackles.

    1. HALFSPACE
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Alright tactical genioso

      1. diesel001

        6 years, 7 months ago

        It is annoying watching some of these 'big' teams be arrogant and think they can do what they want against Burnley. Would love to see someone like Sanchez up against them - he will commit their defence.

        1. Ramboros
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          You could have mentioned someone who didn't do awful against Burnley last season.

    Mee nabbed an extra BAP. On 28 now. Hope he ties with Henrick for 1 bonus!

    Seems playing TC over Bee was a mistake. Really thought Tom would do something though. Obviously he is a last resort.
