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.

    I need to get of rid of Jovetic and Giroud before their price drop, I am thinking 2 of Bony, Adebayor and Dzeko. Any suggestions?

    So Hutton deservedly going to 4.1 tonight, will be 4.2 by next deadline I would imagine.

    Happy to use him week 3 and then sell him and cash in on the price rise. I mean from Week 4-9, will I ever want to use him, or even get subbed in when the fixtures are:

    liv, ARS, che, MCI, eve ???

    Sometimes you gotta say "Hey, thanks for the nice surprise, but you are worthless to me now, I will take the profit you gave me and tell you to take a hike"

        i cant imagine a scenario where i am saying "I GOTTA get Hutton back!"

        I may do that with an Aguero, or a Hazard or someone like that, but Hutton? I am getting the best of him now, and I can make some cash in the process.

          I thought you were planning to buy, then sell later. Seems to risky for me. His price could just as easily plummet as they get stuck into Ars, che, Man C, Pool.
