Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Everton

6 May 2017 1455 comments

The day’s events conclude at the Liberty Stadium with Swansea City bidding to claim a vital three points against Everton having seen their relegation rivals slump to defeats.

From a Fantasy perspective, the main focus will be Gylfi Sigurdsson for the home side, with the Icelander having ended a run of five Gameweeks without points with a goal and an assist in his last two outings.

Sigurdsson heads into this match as part of 10.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads, having suffered a minor ownership loss this week. Involved in 53% of the Swans goals this season, with Paul Clement’s side surely buoyed by today’s earlier results, we will be expecting Sigurdsson to maintain his recent upturn.

For Everton, Romelu Lukaku is still part of 40.8% of FPL line-ups despite suffering a heavy loss of 153,000+ owners ahead of today’s game. The Belgian has scored just a single goal in his last eight away trips.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Lukaku is great when he gets on a run from deep against a high back four.

      When the gap between back four and keeper is less and he has to do it in a tighter space he isnt as good for me.

    All week I've been contemplating Jesus to Benteke and Blind to Stephens (both defenders would be on bench this week) minus 4 because I fancied a big Jesus score. Talked myself out of it because Tekkers essentially had a 4 point start and I've finished marginally up. Unreal that City scored 5 and i still got away with it.

          As do I. Certainly could see West Ham or the like being capable of flinging crosses in to him seeing as they're already used to playing with Carroll.

          Depends on Clement too, he'll be working miracles if he keeps hold of both Llorente and Siggy, could be on for a decent enough season.

          I just don't see him as good enough yet for a top team

        Flat track bully, top teams would love him as he would score the goals against the likes of Hull and WBA at home

          Surely top teams want someone who can score against anyone home or away?

        Think it would be safe to at least say he deserves a proper season at a better side to see how he gets on.

        Doesn't work hard enough, actually quite lazy waiting for the ball to come to him

          This. No wonder Jose never liked him and one can guess fairly accurately, Pep's opinion of him. Having said that, as an Arsenal fan, I'd rather him in our team than Giroud.

      The bloke above me (he's 2nd) in our league took a real flyer this week. Guess who he captained? (Clue: his team play tomorrow)
