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.

      Not worth if you bought him at 10. Wait for some time. Dropping to 10.2 wont make a difference.

    Any advice on what I should do with this lot 🙂 ?

    Adrian - Jaku
    Valencia - Monreal - Baines - Galloway - Amat
    Hazard - Walcott - Eriksen - Firmino - Redmond
    Lukaku - Benteke - Zaza

    2 FT - 1.6 ITB

    Players I consider letting go are :
    Adrian - Monreal - Zaza - Hazard - Redmond

    I also need Man City cover, either ( Aguero - Sterling - KDB ).
    What should my priority be ?

    WC midfield everywhere: Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Snodgrass, Capoue.

    Sanchez missed a penalty :/ (although the most wise choice here)
    Firmino didn't play
    Sterling is fighting for a spot, especially after Kun comes in and is prone to being rested
    Snodgrass plays for Hull and only scores through set pieces. Scary fixtures as well.
    Capoue is a bubble waiting to get bursted.

      Sanchez scored two. And is explosive.
      Firmino didn't play as precaution.
      Sterling is in immense form. Will get plenty of points in the 60 minutes he plays.
      Capoue is usually a bench fodder.

    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.

    Not the worst GW in the world. 42 points before BAPS and could change even more if Bolasie gets given the goal.

    Anyway prepping my team for next week and here's what I have atm:

    Heaton Foster
    Dann Shaw McAuley Williams Amat
    Hazard Sterling Sanchez (C) Bolasie Capoue
    Ibra Benteke Negredo

    1.2 ITB

    Aguero + Snoddy > Negredo + Sanchez
