Versus – Coleman and Baines

In retrospect, it seems that a lacklustre defeat at Watford in Gameweek 15 has been the making of Everton’s season.

Since that 3-2 loss at Vicarage Road, the Toffees have finally clicked under Ronald Koeman, chalking up five wins and a draw in the subsequent seven league fixtures.

The Dutchman’s decision to roll out a wing-back system has been key to their recent ascent.

Everton have chalked up four clean sheets in the last five Gameweeks, bringing both Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines onto our radars as the Merseysiders offer the perfect combination of form and fixtures for the foreseeable future.

Identically priced in Fantasy Premier League at 5.6 apiece, and with clashes against Stoke, Bournemouth, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, West Brom and Hull City over the next seven Gameweeks, we assess the Toffees duo’s recent displays as we look for the most appealing route into Koeman’s much-improved rearguard.

    If the draw for the FA cup 5th round sets GW 26 blankers against weak opposition and a likely GW28 blank, who will be trimming out players from the likes of Man City, Utd and Arsenal over the next few weeks ? Should transfer planning tentatively start Monday night or is this just silly and compulsive ?

      Wasn't aware anyone still had City players 😛

      I shall be looking at doing this, definitely. I have enough transfers between now and week 28 to get 11 out even if just thr 2 games go ahead - I'd probably Wildcard in GW29 though.

        I think there are quite a few WC options to be considered with the GW26/28 blanks and resultant DGWs. I reckon I will get more 'extra' games (and 2 decent Captains) during a WC fuelled DGW than I lose during GW28 blank

    Do we think Holgate is is nailed now?

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Yeah

    2. Syd.

      I can't see him being dropped given Evertons current form

      1. joescores
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, would you drop him for Jones for - 4 today? Need the monies for Lukaku. I would get him for minus after this gw anyways. Would you?

        1. Phil Dagger ⭐
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Jones has Hull

          1. joescores
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            But Holgate will rise before the next GW and I am not playing him anyway (Jones)

            1. Syd.
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Get Baines

              He is worth the extra money

              1. joescores
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Got him aready

              2. Phil Dagger ⭐
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                he needs the saved money to get Lukaku.

            2. Phil Dagger ⭐
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Maybe then... if you are going to do this for -4 anyways this week or next ...and you think he is nailed
              good move then.

              1. joescores
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Cheers, he would be my 4th choice and enabler.

    3. Phil Dagger ⭐

      Defoe Ibra are players that are nailed
      this word can not be used for Holgate

  3. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    How would you improve this team?

    Valdes Jaku
    Walker Alonso Evans Chambers Amat
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Phillips Fletcher
    Giroud Ibra Defoe

    1 Ft 3.6 in the bank

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Defence needs sorted

      1. joescores
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Get Baines or Coleman- scratch Chambers

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      one of Evans Chambers or Amat
      to Coleman or Baines

      if Evans will be fit Save.

  4. IWR
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Baines, Brunt, Daniels (Yoshi, Holgate)
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Stanislas (Phillips)
    Ibra, Lukaku, Gru

    1.9, no FT. Tempted to turn Daniels into one of Walker/Rose but probably won't. Good to go?

    1. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Save definitely

    2. joescores
      • 8 Years

      Wait

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Your defence looks ready for the GW 26 & 28 blanks, not sure I would be changing much until we know the GW28 fixtures

  6. Jude Rooney

    Not heard much about the Aguero injury.

    What is the consensus on here - is it an 'FA Cup' injury?

    1. joescores
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Really wanted to bring him in against the Swans but decided against it. Monies used effectively somewhere else.

      1. joescores
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nad sorry to answer your questions, I think he was genuinely injured in his last match

        1. Jude Rooney
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not doubting the slight knock bit just wondered if he could have played a more important game

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Injury or not I would still sell him

      1. Jude Rooney
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        With Swansea at home at the weekend?

        1. TokyoRisingSun
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I'm not doubting that he'll score at times, but he ain't worth 12.8m when the likes of Ibra Costa and Kane are all producing more regularly and consistently for less than 1.5-2m. None of their fixtures are any worse than city's too

          1. Jude Rooney
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Which makes possibly the best player in the league a differential - that will do for me.

            1. Fitzy.
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              He hasn't been close to the best player in the league this season.

              1. Jude Rooney
                • 11 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Did say possibly - form temporary class permanent and all that

        2. joescores
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not on penos (Yaya), Jesus could steal some of his minutes.. Sane, KDB..,,He is possibly injured..12,8 I don't know mate.. I would hold if you have him, but wouldn't get him

          1. Jude Rooney
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Exactly wouldn't be signing him just yet but definitely want to hold if possible

  8. Dan United
    • 11 Years

    lukaku or Kane?

    Or any other striker for that matter other than Zlatan and Giroud

    1. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Kane because this week he has Sunderland. Long term id probably prefer Kane anyway

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years

          Reckon he's a juicer......

          2. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I'd be gutted if he was but wouldn't be surprised. Judge ordering all those blood samples be destroyed stunk to high heaven

            1. Jafooli
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Yup, a lot of murky stuff in this past. He's connected to some very dodgy folk.

              Also his size and injury types, suggest something sinister.

              I wouldn't be surprised if something comes out in a few years about Rafa, Spanish football and of course more cycling.....

    What's the general consensus on Spurs and Everton defenders?

    I'm getting Rose/Walker or Baines/Coleman in GW24, and will be getting another in GW26 when I drop Valencia for the blank, which ones would you go for and which one first? Currently have no Everton players and only Alli from Spurs.

    Everton's fixtures 24-29: BOU, mid, SUN, tot, WBA, HUL
    Spurs' fixtures 24-29: MID, liv, STO, EVE, cpa, SOT

    Currently thinking Coleman first, then Rose/Baines.

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The general consensus is that everyone should own one

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The general consensus is that you have both Spurs and Everton if you can afford it

    3. mbrewer94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Currently have Brunt, Valencia, Daniels, Alonso, Friend - It'll be Daniels and Valencia that make way

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      no. but he could return against chelsea with alexis occupying the false9 position

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I hope so. Sanchez up front would be ideal.

    3. Rhinos
      • 10 Years

      Unlikely but Welbeck may well do

  14. HurriKane

    Is it a big risk having 6 players from spurs and westbrom in your starting 11 ?

    Form and fixtures are on their side

    1. joescores
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe 1 too many from WBA otherwise template

  15. joescores
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    GW 26 to 28, who for a third striker instead of Ibra. Will have Lukaku and Costa.

    1. cheese XL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rondon or defoe

      1. joescores

      its more like theo and welbz are a threat to giroud

      if anyone of the duo gets the nod alexis will play false9

      1. HurriKane
