The Dugout Discussion – Everton vs West Ham

Sunday afternoon treats us to a pair of Premier League fixtures, with Everton hosting West Ham at Goodison in the early kick-off.

The Toffees’ Romelu Lukaku clinched second place in this week’s Captain Poll, having scored or assisted in five of the previous six Gameweeks.

Those who opted for the big Belgian over yesterday’s two-goal heroes Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero will be hoping he extends a record that has seen him score in all eight appearances against the Hammers since moving to Merseyside.

Yannick Bolasie – with attacking points in four of his previous six – will also fancy his chances against a defence that’s conceded nine times in four away fixtures.

Dimitri Payet is the Hammers’ form player, serving up a goal and five assists in six since making his first start of the season in Gameweek 4.

Michail Antonio has dropped in price in each of the last three Gameweeks due to a four-match drought, yet he looks set to reprise a role up front today, having led the line in West Ham’s midweek cup win over Chelsea.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    If fixtures were better Payet would be straight in everyone's teams. Maybe he should be anyway?

      I feel obliged. Last ever repost of my old comment:

      Are Payet's 4 fixtures from GW12 enough to justify taking him out? Had him for a number of weeks now, incl the 2 double assist weeks, and he's pretty fixture proof IMO, even with that West Ham team. Can absolutely make the argument about value, but his scores are pretty good, and that 13% ownership has hardly budged since season-start -> mostly casuals. Usually good for bonus once he gets an assist/goal. Waiting for the trademark freekicks to kick in.

      The fixtures certainly look it on paper, but how did he do against these four teams; Spurs, Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, last year?

      Arsenal: 1 assist
      Spurs: 1 assist
      Man Utd: 1 goal, 2 assists
      Liverpool: 1 assist

      Not a bad return rate at all. Only one I'd really even think about benching him is the game against Spurs, but even then Spurs are only conceding against set pieces, which is where Payet excels. Same with Liverpool, who are vulnerable from set pieces.

      9, 10, 1, 10, 3, 7 in his last 6 gameweeks, I don't see any real appeal in taking him out.

      The burgeoning popularity of the Liverpool midfield double up is hurting his appeal somewhat. No doubt that he's fixture proof if West Ham can rediscover their form of last season against the top clubs. Return of Mr Ayew could either help or hinder his potential.
