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.

      He's a supersub. Depends what you're after - personally I preferred nailed on starters. Rashford is a quality player though.

    RP from before need some advice if it's available my front 8 consists of:

    Ozil,Hazard,Capoue,Antonio,Nolito,Barrow,Ibra & Costa

    Taking a -4 hit for GW 6 choose one of the following options as I'm struggling to decide.

    A) Ozil,Haz & Costa > Aguero,KDB & Pereya (save 0.2)

    B) Nolito,Hazard & Costa > Aguero,Sanchez & Snodgrass (save 0.1)

    C) Nolito,Haz & Costa > Aguero,KDB & Snodgrass (save 0.6)

    D) Nolito,Haz & Costa > Aguero,Sanchez & Snodgrass (£0)

    E) Ozil,Haz & Costa > Aguero,Sanchez & Pereya (save 0.2)

    Before TM reminds me, I know the GW isn't over but I think we can all be excused for opening the conversation on how we're all going to be getting Kun in. No doubt we're all going to have to take different routes. I'm having a nightmare personally because I can't afford to get rid of Sanchez, Sterling or Ibra. Can anyone suggest the best way to use my 2 FT's? I have £0.1m ITB.

    In the rules it says:-

    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. Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.

    Surely that means they can't take the goal away from Lukaku?
