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.

    Would you do Alli & Kaku to Silva & Kane for a -4?

    Got Eriksen and no City

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I would although I won't be doing anything until after the international matches in case of potential injuries.

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not for -4 I don't think. For free definitely

    3. GOTHAM City F.C.

      Log off for a week.

      Yes. If you must due to funds then do it now, there might be regrets though.

      If funds ok then wait a while, but still yes.

      Alli looks lackluster. Trippel Spurs overkill as long as you have the main man. No City coverage is plain dumb the way they play now and the fixtures coming compared to United.

  2. VFORVANDETA

    Firmino to? Kane Jesus other two.

    1)Morata
    2)Laca
    3)Vardy

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      1

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      3) Have funds to strengthen elsewhere then and he has tasty fixtures upcoming.

      1 if he recovers...play the waiting game...might be cheaper by the time you come to buy.

    5. Valar(Keith)

      What happened to him?

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

      1 or 3.

      Depending on 1 getting fit for next GW and the state of your team otherwise.
      3 is good value for money, money that can be well spent otherwise.

    Time to drop Brady I guess

    How is he playing? Not much involvement?

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      19 in his last 4 games, and it's only half time in this game. Not sure what you are expecting from a 5.5mid?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        "How is he playing? Not much involvement?"

        1. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          You did also say "time to drop Brady I guess", I was responding to that part of your post. He did start of the move for the goal, but don't know how much he has been involved other than that. Still time for him to do something

            Worth considering the fact they’ve had 5 referendums in the last 6 years.

            ...and that such things aren’t as simple as you put it. We’ll see how it turns out, but a majority wanting out is unlikely.

  6. Team Cruel

    Can't believe I fell for the Brady wagon. He's allergic to being involved in goals.

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

      Hear you 🙁

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

        Never mind goals he's barely involved in the actual game.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kola's been the only successful FFS band wagon as far as I'm aware.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Although Ritchie/Atsu can be considered successful too.

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

    on 2 FTs
    fellani in for Atsu while Pogba is out?
    not the sexiest move but 4.9 with the chances he can get seems like a solid move
    thanks

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Good move if you don't have other areas you want to strengthen. I was thinking of this move but already had 3 united players

  8. Egg noodle

    I want to make some rage transfers

    Rooney Baines Eriksen Brady OUT

    Jesus Azpili Sterling RLC IN

    Yes?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      -12?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years

        Yep

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Is there a similar thing you can do without the Brady to RLC?

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Ota over Azpi maybe. Save 0.9m there

        1. Egg noodle
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Have Ota already mate

        2. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Morata instead of Jesus if you can't afford and just make 3 transfers

          1. Egg noodle
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Cheers bud

        I can yes for -8.

    How is C-Lewin looks today?

  10. West Hammered
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Bought in Mee instead of S Ward on wildcard 🙁

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Ward was the better pick on WC because he's already had attacking returns and is about to rise whereas Mee is about to drop

              I really thought I might carry a FT this week ... but dodgy reports on Jones, Kun car crash etc.
              It's rare I would even have anything less than -8 and statistically I should always do -16 in preference to -12

    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I know there's a lot of love for Kola here, but probably even more for Bavies. Which would you prefer, Kola+Jones/Maguire or Monreal+Bavies? Maguire has great fixtures but Lei concede lots of chances. Jones has got bad fixtures (3 out of 4) and a lingering injury-problem. So i'm think of a -4 while I still can. Don't want to downgrade Eriksen or Salah

  20. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years

    Which player looks most likely to double rise?

    A) Silva
    B) Sterling
    C) Sane

    Thanks.

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 6 months ago

        A but none

      • Holmes
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        None of them scored high or even scored more than 3pts, so double rise is unlikely

      • justmatt
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I'd guess none will during the break, but Silva if pushed to pick one.

      Elliot, Carroll, Mbemba, Long

      Rank 400K

      I'm tempted to WC at this point, thinking I should try and get some City and Chelsea coverage to try and push on in the rankings

      Any thoughts/advice appreciated

      Nice stat from the Beeb

      "Burnley have lost just one of the previous 21 Premier League games in which they have been leading at half-time (W16 D4), winning each of the last 10 in a row."

      Alli / Salah / Mkhi / Choupo-Moting / (Carroll)
      Kane / Lukaku / (Crouch)
