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.

    Eughhhh FPL is rough sometimes...

    Got exact £££ for Mkhi + Firmino -> Sterling + Jesus (-4pts)

    But own Morata.... so I have to wait before transferring which will price me out...

    So, my 3 strikers have, between them, brought home a total of 4 points (I dont have Kane, Kaku or Jesus).

    Maybe I am going about this all wrong? 😮

        You never know, maybe Moreno, Mignolet and Lovren will jump for a ball together and knock each other out.

        It's Liverpool, could happen.

    Bring in Kolasinac or Monreal?

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

      Kola. Rly unlucky today

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

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I have had Kola for a while. A friend asked me the same question last week. I told him to get Monreal as he is a baps magnet and I feel a goal coming. Did a WC last week myself and kept Kola over Monreal lol. Should have listened to myself....

      1. PocketZola
        • 6 Years

        Get both

  5. Iceball

    Firmino to Vardy in the cards. Or even Rashford?

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

      Vardy better. Look at the fixtures.

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

        How did he do this gw?

  6. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Sturridge is not fit enough to play 90 mins so Firmino will get some minutes and could still score so no time to panic (says a non-Firmino owner).

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

      Firmino can't score in 90 mins these days why would anyone expect anything in 20

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

        xD

      2. The Mandalorian
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Optimism is becoming a rare commodity amongst Firmino owners these days.

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

          Never owned Firmino

        2. Winston.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          6 years, 7 months ago

          Lucky penalty on 89th minute coming up...Sturridge out Firmino in on 87th minute...

    Joselu vs pool defenders is interesting

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Joselu is no Harry Kane, jog on.

      1. Sims

  10. VFORVANDETA

    Cant wait for Coutinho 10+ pointers.

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

      I cant wait for him to be subbed 59 mins 1 pointer

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

      In plural.. you reckon he's a better pick than Salah? For the forseeable that is..

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

    Will Sturridge get injured today?

    A. Yes
    B. Yes

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years

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

        Leaning more towards A personally.

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      B or A but wait for midweek games

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If I dont have City cover who should be first Kaku to Jesus or Miki to Silva?

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

      M to S

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mkhi > Delph

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Serious?

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

    How do I get rid of Tadic with those upcoming fixtures? Do they have therapy groups for this kind of thing?

  14. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Collymore to score winner.

  15. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    What to do with Firmino ? Get Vardy or be patient and keep Firmino ?

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

      I got Vardy last GW. Firmino has been very poor.

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      bin

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

    Can't understand why people are ditching Lukaku... form > fixtures always

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Agree. Liv next GW is a great fixture.

  17. Champions united
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Cedric-- Jones-- Alonso --Morgan
    Eriksen --mikhi --Ritchie --cork -oriol
    Lukaku --kane -vardy

    2FT
    Please suggest best replace for next 3 4 weeks

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

      Nothing too obvious. See how the IB goes.

      1. Champions united
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thinking of getting rid of mikhi for d. silva

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

          If no other issues occur, that would be a good move.

  18. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    So Firmino comes on for 20 mins and gets frustrated at his lack of chances and mins so he boots a Toon player and gets himself a YC.

  19. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Surman or Delph on a WC?

    He'd be one of 3 4,5midss so rotation wouldn't kill me.
    Carroll and RLC to rotate with Wards worse games.

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Surman. Delph playing as a defender, but you won't get the 4pts for a clean sheet.

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

    Salah needs a few finishing lessons for sure

  21. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Salah airshot from 14 yards

  22. Pep says
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    From 2.2m to a projected rank of 700k with Salah Ritchie and Elliot.

    Hoping for around 15pts from the 3

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

    I am not saying to this to pee off Firminio owners but that looks about the best 6 attacking players pool could put out.
    5 of 6 of them with a Kante or Matic and then you got a team.

  24. Stinglikeabee
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is Jesus and sterling in for Gross and Lukaku a decent move?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

  25. sham99
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Brought in ward as a replacement for the poss injured Jones. 12 points (if he gets the 3bps) sat on the bench!

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Rough, but why bother with a transfer if you were going to bench? Esp before IB

  26. Champions united
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Best replace for mikhi and eriksen
    No city.have kane and lukaku

    D.silva
    Sane
    sterling
    Salah
    Coutinho

    1. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Okay Mkhi fixtures not the best or form but why on earth Eriksen ...

      1. Champions united
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If only mikhi who should I go for

      2. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed. Keep Eriksen. Get Coutinho or Silva.

  27. WVA

    Mbemba????

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

    Does anyone know how serious Morata's injury is? Just noticed he has "75% chance" of playing due to his hamstring.

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

    wow what a goal

  30. Fred54
