Versus – Baines and Coleman

After scaling the heights of fifth place in their first season under Roberto Martinez, Everton have so far failed to find their form. The Toffees sit in seventeenth spot – just two points off the basement – but are poised for an excellent upcoming schedule which many expect will enable them to quickly climb back up the table.

Understandably, Fantasy managers are eyeing up Leighton Baines ahead of a run which pits the Merseysiders against just three of last season’s top eight in the forthcoming 13 Gameweeks. Given that the Toffees have managed just a single clean sheet so far, though, defensive returns may be hard to come by unless they can tighten up considerably.

With team-mate Seamus Coleman looking poised for an imminent return to action, we analyse the pair’s displays so far and compare them to the performances which harvested 169 and 180 points respectively in the 2013/14 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game.

    Expect Baines' stats to imporve further considering the upcoming opposition.

    SAF: "I think the supporters respond very well when a young player gets his opportunity. Young people have to be given an opportunity,particularly if they’ve got ability. If you wait too long, they just stagnate and you lose them"

    Remember this lad called Paul Pogba?

    2. johnbarnes

      arguably the greatest misjudgement of Sir Alex.

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He has a point. Nobody seems at all bothered that his last signing was Wilfred Zaha.

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Spunked £10m on Zaha, Moyes barely played him and now we'll be lucky to get back half what we paid.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It looks like you're blaming Moyes. My point is proved.

      SAF was an awful manager, achieved very little.

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Agreed, Moyes was better.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Ian Dowie, better than both, never given a chance.

    So the 'raging debate' is that there's no debate and one clear conclusion?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep. Drink more wine. 😀

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If you can be bothered, check out the stats for both of them playing together last season. Coleman profited when Baines was injured. I think you can guess what those stats will say though. 🙂 Non-debate, as you say. 😛

  18. tm245

    What is their back four? Does Oviedo start while Stones is out?

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Or was Oviedo on for Coleman?

    2. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I remember Oviedo playing left back last season when Baines was out... something he did very very well.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oviedo is a left back. Hes backup for Baines (poor sod). He can also play as a utility left winger, so I doubt he would play CB.

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers. No room at the inn, it seems. Love that price now that he is OOP.

      Baines Distin Jagielka Coleman
      Hibbert to play at right back if Coleman isn't ready this weekend

    pelle + imobile looks promising. pelle aka late blloomer or even more so, Koeman has a very good eye for potential bringing him to holland and then Sou.

    Di Maria - Sterling - Siggy - Chadli (Boyd)
    Aguero - Costa - Pelle

    Seems obvious, but... PVA -> Baines with my free?

      yes

      Needs more. Cyrpus look like a shocking outfit. Playing very open not like the usual sit back and hope not to lose 10-0 brigade though

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Did they not beat someone decent?

          Bosnia at home. Different away though their record is awful

          • 10 Years

          Beat Bosnia last month.

    Hope they replicate that form on weekend.

      Hear hear. Also hope Blind and Van Persie continue playing like they have done in their matches, just because I dislike United

    Robben misses a free header.

    Anyone else getting McFIFA flashbacks this weekend? Remember that godawful interface with playing your squad from left to right else they'd be locked?

    Guess this means I'm defintely doing my planned krul to Mannone transfer barring now other injury concerns.
