Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Arsenal

Saturday’s schedule concludes with the headline act. Arsenal make the trip to Goodison Park looking to build on the stuttering 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on the opening day. The Toffees meanwhile, will also be looking to improve on their first showing, having been pegged back to 2-2 by newly promoted Leicester a week ago.

Arsene Wenger rings the changes with a few surprises. He welcomes back two of his German contingent as Mesut Ozil and Per Mertesacker return to the starting lineup. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also starts, while Nacho Monreal comes in for Kieran Gibbs at the back. Santi Cazorla and Laurent Koscielney drop to the bench, with Calum Chambers retaining his start at the back. Olivier Giroud again starts from the bench with Alexis Sanchez set to be fielded in a central attacking role.

Roberto Martinez also tweaks his lineup with Seamus Coleman and Kevin Mirallas drafted in – John Stones and Aiden McGeady make way.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      300 people transferred Ramsey in during the first half and another 200+ since half time. He's gained 600 or so NTI during this match when Arsenal are looking shocking. Odd!

          I might take up FPL as a hobby.

          Was just checking the price changes while considering a couple of transfers and kept seeing his NTI increase. I guess people are jumping on that 0.1 price change tonight.

          I'm considering dropping him, not sure he's worth 9m with less than stellar fixtures and the way Arsenal are playing so far this season.

    Early days I know, and VERY speculative, but if by some miracle Jordon Rhodes signs and registers for Hull by the end of the week, I'm half-tempted to do Costa and Pellè out, Aguero and Rhodes on.

    Still, early and very speculative days!

      I put Ings in last week and they have super fixtures coming up so I not gonna do that. What do you think of Rooney/costa-> Naismith and banking 5.5 million which allows me to change Ashley young to silva and have an extra million?? Would mean playing 3-5-2 every week but that seems to me like a good formation to use at the moment??? Will he carry on playing after Barkley returns??
