Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Middlesbrough

Saturday’s events come to a close at Goodison Park with Ronald Koeman’s upwardly mobile Everton side hosting Middlesbrough.

Frankly, this match is all about Romelu Lukaku.

The Belgian exploded a dramatic 11-minute hat-trick just six days ago at Sunderland and heads into the tea-time encounter backed by almost 250,000 new owners, with 6% handing him the captaincy.

Koeman’s side will be bidding for a fourth straight victory and a third consecutive clean sheet.

Middlesbrough’s task looks tough, then, having suffered a home reverse in Gameweek 4 at the hands of Crystal Palace.

Alvaro Negredo goes into the contest desperate for a goal having blanked in his last three. Having soared early on as a Fantasy Premier League transfer target, he’s been hemorrhaging owners for the past three Gameweeks, losing 164,000 heading into Friday’s deadline.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Yes. As long as it's before the update. It can also be reviewed by the dubious goal panel in real life and could be taken off him in a few weeks time (that won't change FPL though)

      They may change it even based on the fact that any touch by Lukaku had no impact on it going in or not.

    Weird debate but, the offside rule now states if someone interacts with play by putting off keeper etc then it counts as offside, so if lukaku wasn't there, Valdes easily saves that, surely lukaku technically made the goal happen, does it make it his? Thoughts?

      No. He influenced the goal. He didnt score it.

      By that logic the West Ham kit man should be awarded all of Payets goals last season.

      Lukaku is also very slightly telekinetic, so can shift the path of the ball while in flight just by thinking about it.

    That Lukaku 'goal' is absolute bull. He didn't touch that ball, replays show the balls spin wasn't affected at all.
