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.

          2) Because people get spoon fed the answers so they don't bother looking for theirselves.

          I can answer this...

          1) Probably loads, it's very popular and is used by many FFS posters.
          2) Isn't in the FAQs, it's usually only mentioned during an answer to a question.

    Is Hazard a flat track bully? Seem to remember an article on here about it, maybe last season, but I can't recall what it concluded. If so, the fixtures are awful and it might be time for KDB.

    For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day

    Surely this would mean final whistle at 7:20 odd and any changes would've had to be done by half 8?

      Foster/ Pickford

      Valencia / Coleman / Pieters / Collins / Amat

      Mane / Firm / NOLITO -.- / Antonio / Capoue

      Lukaku / Ibra / Tekkers

      1.7 ITB 0FT WILDCARD USED.

      Should I take a hit to solve out Nolito? Who should I get in... KDB or Sterling?
      If I get Sterling I can upgrade Antonio to payet next week. Also, with nolito's suspension Sterling will get many minutes I assume

      Foster + Jaku keeper combo + McAuley

      Any Lukaku captainers who think it wasn't his goal, or Lukaku non-owners that it was his goal?

        Unfortunately I think it's a Bolasie goal.

      Hi everyone, is it worth getting Aguero in early while he is £12.9m? I'm guessing if you wait there is a chance he could go up because of everyone getting him back in?

        In the second half Everton played a lot of safe passes which suited him. He also had quite a few successful dribbles, ball retrievals.

        In some ways it's nice to see fpl reward a more defensive midfielder
