Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Burnley

1 October 2017 1415 comments

After Arsenal eased past Brighton at the Emirates, we now make our way to Merseyside as Everton welcome Burnley to Goodison Park.

The Toffees’ start to the season has been far from convincing yet they have scored seven goals in their last three home matches across all competitions.

Budget frontmen Oumar Niasse and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – at 5.0 apiece in FPL – are both handed starts but Wayne Rooney’s 11% FPL owners are left disappointed as Ronald Koeman drops him to the bench for the first time this season.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to stake a claim for our five-man midfields ahead of clashes with Brighton, Leicester, Watford and Palace in the next five.

But Burnley’s away form will worry the home side.

Sean Dyche’s men have claimed points on the road at Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool, with Robbie Brady and Chris Wood looking their likeliest source of attacking points.

Like their hosts, the Clarets also have fine upcoming fixtures – they entertain West Ham, Newcastle and Swansea and travel to Southampton in the subsequent five.

      Massive set piece threat and has had at least a couple efforts cleared off the lines so it seems safer to hold faith than to swap to Ward

      You know. There are tradeoffs. Silva most minutes, integral to attack, assist machine. If silva blanks a few, he'll have a selloff given his ownership.

      Sane, explosive but subject to rotation. Doesn't play full 90, and may not start enough games for you to feel comfy.

      Sterling, cheapest, seems to score some, poor finisher so needs multiple opportunities. Also doesn't typically play full 90, let alone nailed on.

      Silva. More likely to play, and he can both score and assist. Looks locked in for the season on my team. Nice to not worry whether your investments in key players will play or not.

    Hi, which one is better options:
    A. Mkhi + Hegazi --> Silva + Ward (-4)
    B. Joselu + Mkhi + Hegazi --> Vardy + Choupo + Ward (-8)
    Thanks.

    I got a hit to bring Lacazette for Aguero cause I thought he would easily outscore Tom Carrol by 4 or more points... Huge mistake! Will change him to Jesus now.

      Rotates with Martial too much...ruins both of them.

      Plus tougher fixtures incoming

      Might be ... temped by a straight swap Mkhi + Morata > Hazard + Rashford

      Currently on a premium front 3 but can see that being problematic - e.g. if Morata and Kun are out
      It's probably easier to maintain the top two on form strikers and one top end mid than 3 top forwards

      I think rashford will be a better option once all the big hitting mids catch fire
