The Dugout Discussion – Monday

The final match of Gameweek 22 gets underway at Goodison this evening as Everton prepare for the visit of Tony Pulis’ West Brom. The new Baggies boss steadied the ship with a 1-0 home win over Hull in his first league match in charge but faces a tough task to turn around his side’s woeful away form, with just two points accrued in their previous five road trips.

Saido Berahino has netted five times in two matches across all competitions since Pulis’ appointment, though, and will fancy his chances of breaching a backline that has conceded in each of the last 11 Gameweeks. The likes of Andre Wisdom and Joleon Lescott are also on Fantasy radars as we look to the “Pulis effect” to transform the West Brom defence.

For the hosts, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas will be looking to kick on from their midweek cup displays at West Ham. Both grabbed a goal apiece in the Upton Park defeat, with the latter also supplying an assist for his compatriot, whilst at the back, Leighton Baines’ two assists in the last three suggest he could yet persuade many Fantasy owners to hold for now as the Toffees attempt to rediscover last year’s form and climb up the table.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Even as someone who carried Baines through his long, long dry spell I can't help laugh at all this. Pretty sure this meltdown will go down in FFS lore, joining the likes of the waynecard, the Lukaku ghost assists and wildcard-gate on the opening day a few years ago 😆

        Hahaha, yes Balegate was hilarious.

        The slightest touch you will ever see, yet we dug up a video that showed he touched it so we could get an extra assist. What a funny bunch of nerds we are 😆

      If you're top3 worldwide player for 7-8 consecitive years it's sort of understandable to be quite self centered.
      If you're mediocre player and consider yoursefl the best there's something wrong with you.
