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.

    I was fuming last season when they gave Ighalo a goal. I share non owners pain. This is hard to call and I'd be annoyed too

            So much rage at FPL, Isn't it OPTA that decide goal scorers?

            FPL only get to determine assists as they don't use the strict OPTA definition...

              Ibra will score but you can't have everyone and you can have a much stronger midfield without both of them taking up 1/4 of your total budget.

              He's played very well and I don't see who on Liverpool's current squad would replace him (Can? Lucas? I don't see it.) so for now, probably.

            Mirallas - one of those players that you know that when you take him out, the very next week he will get a brace and an assist.

            boiling down to:

            Kun - Kaku - Costa + funds for mid

            Kun - Kaku - Ibrah

            Thoughts on my WC team ?

            Heaton
            Evans / Williams / Smith
            Sanchez / Antonio / De Bruyne / Capoue
            Aguero / Deeney / Ibrahimovic

            Bench: Jaku, Amat, Kingsley, Barry

              Don't like Deeney at all. Wouldn't consider playing Capoue as 4th mid. Bench a bit too light for my liking, especially having both Amat and Kingsley.

              Solid otherwise.
