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.

    Pleased I watched Everton Thursday evening. Had Ward on the bench. Then realised how pitiful the Toffees are at the moment. Hello and welcome 12pts.

      Yeah, I played Mee over Naughton when I saw how dreadful they were on Thursday too

        Yeah I put Mee in the starting line up. And I'm an Everton fan...

        We are clueless. Koeman reminds me of Moyes at the end at United.

      Crystal ball. I also saw someone who had Iwobi Bellerin and two others left today posting who thought they might get 25 today - they must be happy and be good at predicting too.

      first comment - 'That won't be that much of a surprise.'
      second comment - 'never gonna happen'
      😀

      1. Fantasy Gold

        I think that's why I re-posted due to that second comment 😆

    It's still pretty close points wise. I think in 100k to 1 mil range every point is worth 20 to 25k OR ranking.
    Might reconsider than -8 which equates to nearly 200k OR places if it does not work out.

      Safer to let the managers ahead of you take the hits and drop below you than you take the hits tryna get ahead. No one's worth a hit at the moment anyway

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years

      Firmino has been shite for quite a while

  4. Rik Waller

    Got Mee and no bonus for 1-0 win. Just my luck. Hate this game sometimes.

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

      You got 6 points stop moaning

      1. Rik Waller

          That's better 🙂 turn that frown upside down

          1. Rik Waller
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Thought the sarcasm was clear

    3. PocketZola

  6. Rash

    1. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years

      Danny Simpson too in that pricr bracket worth a shout

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years

        Not convinced by Leicester defensively

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

    Hemed ban hurting now.. would have loved to start him vs Everton

  8. PocketZola
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    0-0 with salah red

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      ban

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      lol I'd avoid the game if that's what you're hoping for

  9. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Verdict on Niasse?

    Ward vs Mee?

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Verdict is Niasse was a 20 mins wonder.

      Ward

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ward is winning that battle so far. Can't go wrong with either, though.

    3. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      stay away from everton completely ward if you haven't already got mee

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      so...keep Hemed?
      Hünemeier -> Ward potentially, to get 5 playing defenders again..

    5. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      cheers, thought so

  10. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino fail. Now Ritchie to save the day!

  11. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Joselu, I need an assist minimum from you

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

    Berbinho

    Frustrate you by winning 3-0 you mean ;)?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hehe! Good luck 🙂

  13. RESULT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Just when you think the team needs 3/4 changes today happens
    Monreal Mee
    Atsu still to go
    Iwobi on the bench
    What a day!!!

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

    Naughton - Monreal on mh mind. Sane move?

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

      Yeah if you have the money. Don't expect a goal every week though - think it was his first in 4 yrs!

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

        But he loves baps

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

        Now that i think about it. I might just keep Naughton for 2 more games.

  15. Cynical
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A. Jesus, Morata, Mkhi
    B. Kane, Vardy, Sterling

  16. C'mon the Fylde
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Having looked at the next set of fixtures, I'm contemplating on this;

    A) Chicharito, Lukaku -> Morata, Vardy -4m

    B) Mooy, Chicharito -> Vardy, Doucoure -4m

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

      Lukaku and Mooy to Morata and Doucoure?

  17. jimmy.floyd
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Bailly to Stones?

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

    Is Valdemort on the set plays now? Hope not too much. Hopefully red card incoming at previous club.. from a Ritchie owner here.

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

      6m a big price for set pieces alone

    First part of my prediction has came true, now just for Koeman to get the sack.

    I reckon it's happening.

    1. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      got the scoreline wrong tho. I'm really disappointed with your lack of ability to see the future 😉

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ah yeah you're right, losing my touch 😉

  20. La Roja

    Sort your shit out Ritchie.

    10+ pts

      Shelvey's playing ... 😕

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years

      24pts in his last 4 games. I think his shit is just fine tbf

  21. HaffNanner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Need to cover these Chelsea fixtures.

    442 with Hazard or 433 with Morata?

    1. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      morata for sure

    2. markmcr
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      See if there are injuries over the break, paitence

  22. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Ramsey how did he look, did he atacking potential enough to bring him in?

    Ozil why he didnt start nor bench? when will he be back

    1. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Couiple of bursts into the box but I fear Sanchez hogs the center alot. Not worth buying unless Ramsey is on the right

  23. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino being rested ends any chances of a very unlikely 100 (on 80 after baps with Salah and Firmino to play).

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks for making everyone feel like crap.

  24. HD7
    • 7 Years

    If Im buying a City midf up to 9.0, should it be Sane Sterling or olay it safe with Silva?

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

      Silva imo

  25. Up the tics
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Im 0.1 away on my WC so should I just replace Kolasinac with Luiz or Bellerin?

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

      I wouldn't get an arsenal defender now with 3 away games in next 4 (I think)

      Luiz or stones

    2. TheBusDriver
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Bellerin

  26. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    80 with Salah left This is not a post to brag but to say thanks to the FFS community who have helped me to climb from 2.2 M to 286900_FFFIX predicted right now) In just 2 weeks! I thought of seriously leaving the game after mane(C) when he was sent off!

    1. Fantasy Gold

    Mark said everyone will have Firmino eventually as part of the best strikeforce with Kane and Lukaku. Can't get rid of him quick enough.

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

      Kick him whilst he's down haha.. I had firmino before he was popular and ditched before the wheels came off
