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.

    One of Naughton or Cedric to Monreal sound good?

  6. Digital-Real

    Evertonians want Ancelotti as their next manager! Most deluded fans.

          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Did a last minit switch from fabianski mee to pope ward after remembering everton had a midweek game. Was just banking on them being tired .

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 7 Years

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          His goal was.. esque.

    4. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years

    6. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years

      Never been so tense and nervous watching a Burnley game 😆

    7. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wardinho takes me to 84pts all out.

      Been one of my best defenders this season.

      Love you Wardy!

    8. PocketZola
      • 6 Years

      Goo momentum, 91 last week and 82 this, but fixtures swing

    9. England23
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      17m on a forward and a mid,
      Suggestions please!

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

        Kane with Carroll

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Kane with Atsu

      2. England23
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Should have said I have Kane!

      3. Chirsbom
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        D. Silva (8.3) and Vardy (8.5). Have provided points and good fixtures ahead. Leaves 0.2 for a price rise otherwise or an update somewhere else later.

    10. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Koeman bound to go

    11. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Another clean sheet and a BAP enough to stop the Ben Mee price fall? With Ward stealing all the transfers in, I'm not sure :/

    12. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino to Vardy for free is a no brainer yea?

      1. Beatle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        That's my move also

      2. Dr. DOOM
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Did it last GW.

      3. SC not pearls before swine
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Seems sound. I guarantee Firmino gets a haul against Manchester United to troll us though.

    13. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Stay on that goddamn bench Firmino.

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

      If only Koeman spent as much time working on his team instead of giving out about other managers!

    15. El_Shaw
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      We reckon that Firmino will be subbed on at some point?

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Word Up! Think it will be a 1 point cameo

      2. Rash
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yes when Sturridge breaks down or Liverpool getting beat.. both scenarios likely imo

      3. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Think so but usually poor off the bench, one of those players that has to feel his way into the game. Only time I remember him being effective off the bench was when he came on at half time vs Stoke

      4. Beatle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Depends how the game plays out. Although I can't see Sturridge lasting 90

      5. Chirsbom
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        After 61 min and blanking, just for the lols.

      Burnley away this season :

      Won against Chelsea
      Drew against Spuds

        Lucky against Spurs and Chelsea (sending off). Think Liverpool and Everton tried to be too cute and play through them.

      Thoughts on these moves:

      Jones, Mkhi & Lukaku 》 Walker, D.Silva & Morata (providing he recovers). -8.

      Leaves me with this:

      Foster
      Alonso WALKER Kolasinac Davies
      Eriksen D.SILVA Ramsey Groß
      Kane MORATA
