Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Middlesbrough

17 September 2016 5055 comments

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.

        That it definitely didn't do. Touch or not, the trajectory didn't change the slightest bit.

        The last replay here shows pretty clearly he missed it too:

            That goes both ways. If there's 1 showing there's no contact, then there is no contact. In this case, there's none absolutely affirming any, but in this one (the one you posted as well) it looks like his foot doesn't get a touch to it at any point.

      Who decides for the points? It says Lukaku goal on FPL website. Anyone know if this is the final decision. I just watched a stream and it really doesn't look like he gets anything on it. I have them both but would prefer Bolasie points!

    Still struggling with this one.

    A) Sterling and Lukaku

    B) Snodgrass and Ibrahimovic

    Possibly leaning towards the latter option since Ibra is so reliable.

      He might be cheap enough to be worth it. Still, assuming Ozil/Sanchez are nailed, he's competing with Perez/Giroud/Oxlade-Chamberlain/Ramsey/Walcott for two spots. Bit too risky for me.
