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.

    If on WC, would you get:

    A Guzan & Given
    B Guzan & Elliot (might play due to Krul injury)

      A. Better to have no GK then Newcastle's 😛

        I can sadly agree with this.....

        *tip toes away to drop Krul*

        Indeed. Having Krul to rotate with Foster has cost me 0.5m and 4 points already.

  5. Venom Snake

    Why is everyone so confident that Wally will find form so quickly after being out for such a long period?

    1. Koflok
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's Wall E

    2. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i'm waiting until GW 10... got Tadic as a placeholder with two home games till then. in full training so expecting cameos for 2 weeks.. when he gets 60+ mins though you just gotta have him 🙂

        1. Venom Snake
          • 10 Years

      This.

      I know the FPL stats prove me wrong, but never really liked Walcott as a player, reminds me of a slightly better Nani.

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You don't have to be a good player to be a good FPL pick. Not that I think Wally's not a good player or anything though.

      2. Red Devil Swede
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        But Walcott is one of the greatest ever FPL players! 😀

    4. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, far too early to be considering him yet.

  6. Brayden29

    Need help with transfers guys, have 0.4 ITB and 2 free transfers:

    Less than 2 hours left, just submitted my team. I would love if you could vote! High ownership, in form fixtures XI.... and Milner.

    Morning fellas!
    Come the end of the season, would I be silly to think Sterling and Baines will be on similar points?

    Really reluctant to lose Fab, ADM or Pelle. Sterling > Baines is my current thought process, if I do it at all. 2FT so seems a waste not using it. Although Sterling vs QPR is a nice thought.

  9. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who do you prefer over the coming weeks? ADM or Sanchez.

    Cheers

    1. Brayden29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Surely ADM even with the tough fixtures coming up

      1. Daniel Exeter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm inclined to agree.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez when you consider the fixtures. You would think he's not in form but he's got something like 5 goals and 3 assists in all competitions hasn't he? On pretty much all set pieces too

    3. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers gents. A bit of a split decision.

      Maybe it is because I am bitter about having not owned him but I can't help but think ADM has had a bit of fortune along the way and his point scoring will dip over the coming weeks, particularly given the change in fixtures.

      1. FISSH
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think you are correct. 2 lucky assists which has led to 6 bonus points also.

    4. Muffinz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Been a few weeks since I saw an arsenal game (been watching other games), but what at least how Sanchez looked towards the beginning of the season, ADM looks much more involved.

  10. Kip
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard looked very threatening yesterday. wouldn't be surprised if he'd get a mega haul in (one of) the next games

    Morning!

    Internationals done and I'm hovering over my 2FTs but feel I should maybe save? What do you think?

    Forster

    Clyne Baines Duff

    Chadli Fabregas Sterling Siggy

    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Hamer, King, Hutton, Chambers

    1.1 ITB

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Internationals tonight also.
      Team looks very good! Missing ADM is the obvious one.

      1. toaster
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah he's the one I'm really worried about... but it's tough to get him in and keep a balance

    2. enrico.palazzo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Almost identical starting 11. Substitute Forster and Duff and same team!

      1. toaster
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nice! Fingers crossed this weekend. Need a big one from Aguero/Baines.

    Surprised to see all the excitement over Walcott, especially if people are considering buying him already. Patience is a virtue.

  13. Yinyang 42

    9 years, 8 months ago

    I've currently got Schneiderlin in my team, got 2 FTs and thinking of just changing him this week. Got 0.3ITB.

    Thinking of changing him to Henderson or Downing? Any other decent picks? Budget is 6.1m.

    Cheers...

    1. hoola515
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      schneiderlin got 2 nice home fixture coming up, Probs worth a keep for now

      1. Yinyang 42
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks mate, I might keep him then. I just itching to use a transfer this week!

        1. Mr Pink
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Nothing else that might need a tweak in your team?

          1. Yinyang 42
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Here's my team:

            Forster (McCarthy)
            Moreno - Clyne - Duff (Wisdom-Moore)
            Siggy - Fab - Sterling - Sneiderlin (Boyd)
            Falcao - Aguero - Costa

            2 FTs, 0.3 ITB

            I'll probably swap out Falcao next week and get Baines in, but not sure if I need to do much this week. Any thoughts?

            1. Mr Pink
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Not really, no. You could go with the herd and go Falcao & Wisdom > Welbeck & Baines.

              I'll probably get rid of Moreno soon myself, but the next few fixtures look too good to ship him now. Wisdom's place might be under threat after Gamboa's performance last week. You could replace him with Hutton just in case, but it is hardly the most exciting move, and it will cost you 0.1...

              1. Yinyang 42
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Thanks for the advice. I'll think about swapping Wisdom for Hutton or maybe Dummett (to avoid the extra cost).

  14. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who to start?

    Naylor (Stoke Away) or Moore (newcastle Away)

    Leaning towards Naylor. Thoughts?

    1. Jimmy_The_Gent
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Naylor. I have both players too but Naylor offers more attacking threat.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can see newcastle game finishing 3-3

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Naylor.

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Okay, thanks for the feedback guys.

  15. TehMadLad69
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Happy with my team lads but just wondering who to bench, my team is currently at:
    Begovic (Mannone)
    Bertrand, Ivano, Clyne, Neil Taylor (Shawcross)
    Siggy, Fabregas, Sterling, Di Maria (Schneiderlin)
    Welbz, Diego Costa (Ulloa)

    Cheers

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would bench Naylor and play Ulloa instead.

  16. Bollard
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who to bench? Ulloa New(A) or Tadic Sun(H)?
    I am currently benching Tadic but I just know if I do this will be the week he does well. Have held him since GW 1, hence my benching him this gw.

    1. Easy-Conners
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Play Tadic at home I reckon.

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      if u held him since gw1..y would u bench him for the home game?

  17. JPlicious
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Need some advice...
    Begovic/Mannone
    Lovren - Clyne - Caulker (Wisdom - Davies)
    Siggy - Di Maria - Sterling - Chadli (Wanyama)
    Aguero - Costa - Ulloa

    1FT
    2M itb

    Go for Ulloa -> Wellbz
    Or change a defender?

    1. Easy-Conners
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Do the Ulloa transfer. Welbecks fixtures are good, perhaps wait till team news on Friday before you pull the trigger. Although it appears he will be fine?

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Go for Welbeck.

  18. Easy-Conners
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bego (McCarthy)
    Baines, Moreno, Bertrand (Wilson, Duff)
    ADM, Siggy, Sterling (Rambo, Cork)
    Costa, Ulloa, Pelle

    Couple of options up my sleave this week with 2 FT and 2.8ITB

    Rambo is definately gone this week. So it leaves the big choice being the FWD transfer.

    A) Rambo & Pelle > Chadli or Mane & Aguero
    B) Rambo & Ulloa > Haz (or potentially Fab or Oscar) & Welbz provided they are fit

    Pelle still has good fixtures but would trading him to get Aguero be on the money?

    Next GW will probably be Ulloa > Zakho if I don't do the B transfer.

    Thoughts?

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      All nice options, I'd go for B with Haz and Welbz, think Haz could be a great differential to have the next few weeks

      1. Easy-Conners
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        RMT is telling me that as well. Get it done I say.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Really tough one. Aguero offers great captain option every week and they have pretty good fixtures coming up but Haz&Welbeck is better combo in overall.

      B

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years

      isnt ramsey coming back soon?

  19. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Should I keep my ft with this team or maybe Krul to some other 4.5 keeper to protect team value?

    Krul (Elliot)

    Moreno-Wilson-Clyne (Duff,Moore)

    Adm-Siggy-Sterling-Fab (Boyd)

    Aguero-Costa-Pelle

    itb. 0.0

    1. Easy-Conners
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Keep the FT.

    2. Jebiga
      • 12 Years

      Foster i think

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

        Then you can rotate him with elliot 🙂

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks. Could be one to consider.

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            but only if Krul is out more than 2 gws.

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

              yep thats true, if you have 4.6 the best solution is guzan until january wc

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks both of you.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years

      It was...nearly two years ago 😉

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

        Have some feeling that welbeck will not play and wally will be a striker 🙂

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years

          Hmm GW16 home to Newcastle could easily see a repeat of that game...

    1. S.Kuqi

      Without seeing rest of your team I would say Colo

      colo out

  22. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years

    Those who have Aguero & Costa who is your captain this week? I'm probably going with Aguero if he doesnt play 90mins today or get injured.

    1. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      What you said. Think aguero home to spurs worth the gamble despite his potential tiredness from flights and friendlies

  23. KeepCalm
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Play Krul (LEI Home) or Heaton (WHU Home)

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Krul if he is fit.

  24. Hammers Select

    Thinking i might get kaboul over chambers. 2-3 pts more per clean sheet due to increased chance of bonus and chambers yellow card.

    Thoughts?

      dont rate chambers to be honest, always getting booked.
