Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Everton

Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.

    Quick question, would you prefer Alderweireld and double up on SOU def, or get a LEI defender for the DGW?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Soton or McShane/Chester

    2. Mílanista

      Toby - much better team.

    just a quick double save Fabianski and we're good

    This isn't feeling like an urgent game. Both sides are reconciled with a mid-table finish. Makes me think it's the beginning of that time of year to start avoiding teams with nothing to play for. Time to look just at the top and bottom of the table.

      and yet here I am buying Chester and N'Doye on wc

      mind you N'Dpoye will go after BUR, Chester not likely to be sighted in my team again after DGW

      they'll win 2 of those games. burnley and palace.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Can't see then beating Palace away.

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Might pick up a random win against one of the big teams though.

    1. ralfb

      No, as skrtl doesnt play next week

    2. HVT

      Why is he dropped Davies?

      1. davies

        Rested, apparently...

    3. Klopp's Kids

    4. sinik

      Skrtel has no game..

    Any idea why Clyne is on the bench today?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's sleepy

    2. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years

      Koeman on changes: "It's about freshness. I spoke to Clyne yesterday. It's just a rest for the player."

    3. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Koeman on changes "It's about freshness. I spoke to Nathaniel Clyne yesterday. It's just a rest for the player" #SaintsFC.

    1. Notorious
      • 10 Years

      He has a good fixture next week, and then it's an easy swap with Hendo for example.

      He hasn't scored a goal for seventeen months I think

      1. Kuqi Monster
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely due then...

    2. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      On loan, highly unlikely that Napoli make it permanent.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge

      Loan I think.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      United bound apparently. Teaching him a lesson

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Fonte to score than. Finally the Fonte over Clyne decision to pay off.

    1. Klopp's Kids

      9 years, 1 month ago

      With it bouncing off Fonte's ass and going in.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        and then because FPL is consistent, they'll award it to Fonte this time
