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.

        Williams I can't see because I don't think his shot was on target. Walcott is an interesting one because the keeper saved and then the ball came to Alexis, but he didn't shoot immediately and passed one player before shooting.

      I work at Opta.

      I can't be 100% on this because final word is with the Premier League, but to try and reassure people, the two assists under investigation when I left the office were Walcott for Sanchez and Matt Phillips for WBA (won a penalty). Lukaku's goal will not change, even though I don't believe he touched it, as it was awarded to him after much discussion.

      Got bottomed, trying again.

      Thoughts on this WC draft please:
      Jaku - Pickford
      Amat - Valencia - Baines - McAuley - Holebas
      Sanchez - Fer - Firmino - Antonio - Capoue
      Aguero - Lukaku - Costa

      0 ITB

      I think it's pretty balanced.

        Thanks both. I think spurs defence is key. Williams for Coleman and then Benteke is a good shout. All depends on those striking options performances tomorrow I guess

      Mark has Lukaku(c).

      No way that goal is taken away from Lukaku.

        Price rising and falling is so weird.

        Player close to rise / fall, people buy / sell him in order to take advantage / avoid loss. This brings the player even closer to the rise / fall.

        At what point does the fact that the player is about to rise / fall in price actually affect the transfers?

        What do people think about this delicious team then;

        Heaton / Jaku
        Valencia / Stones / Williams / Amat / Kingsley
        Sanchez / Sterling / Firmino / Antonio / Capoue
        Aguero / Lukaku / Deeney

        Or do I have Baines, Snodgrass and Benteke for Williams, Antonio and Deeney.

        Cool that Mark is now involved in FPL disussions. I wonder if he's involved in the decision? Or would that be too difficult to be impartial as a player himself?

        Plot twist

        Fpl's latest tweet says they're waiting on bonus point confirmation, implying that the goalscorers are confirmed

        Perhaps it's Sanchez's bps getting reviewed
