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.

      Yeah...well, he also cut diagonally through the entire defense without passing the ball to anyone and then hit a post. But yeah he's creating chances for others.

    Re-post

    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

      The thought behind this is that the value in midfield, with the exception of perhaps Sanchez, looks to be in the cheap to mid price options and in defence the 4.5 - 5.5 options

      It's good, but it's not quite right.

      Downgrade Redmond to a 4.4 bench fodder (Fletcher dropping soon so probably him. Then upgrade Snoddy and have Cap as 4th mid for the next few games.

      If it goes wrong just downgrade a striker. I can get this:

      Foster / Jaku
      Valencia Williams Koscielny Evans Amat
      Firmino Antonio Sterling Capoue 4.4
      Ibra Lukaku Aguero.
