Dugout Discussion – Brighton vs Everton

After tucking into Saturday’s huge goal-pie helping supplied by Manchester City, we can’t help but think that today will arrive as an anti-climax. More “Sedate Sunday” than “Super”.

But Brighton and Everton may surprise us – certainly both sides are in need of a victory to pep up their seasons.

From a Fantasy perspective, the pickings are slim.

Pascal Gross is unquestionably the most interesting asset on show, having picked up over 109,000 new owners ahead of today’s clash and a favourable spread of fixtures for the Seagulls. He starts today’s match as part of 14.1% or 740,000+ squads.

Thanks to Everton’s malaise that makes the German playmaker the most popular player on show.

Certainly, Wayne Rooney’s Fantasy stock has been in decline since Gameweek 2 – the last time he returned points via a goal at Manchester City. That strike and the Toffee’s performance that night seems a world away from the current form, with Ronald Koeman’s side and Rooney struggling for a foothold since.

They must surely avoid defeat following the reverse at home to Burnley in Gameweek 7, and with that in mind, today’s lunchtime encounter looks destined for few goals and little incident. We shall see.

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

    Please tell me Joselu missed the team bus or something. I need TC's 8 points.

      He's already in the line up. Maybe something in warm up then 🙂

      Davies will give me Carroll's points 😉

    Yoshida captain? Guess he's 1st choice ahead of Hoedt then.

    Best defender for under for 4.5 or under is ______

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ward.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Oops forgot he's 4.6 now.

      2. Sif
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Ward 4.6

      3. Darth_Krid
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Ward is 4.6. Mee?

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Naughton

      1. Darth_Krid
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Also 4.6 :p

    3. Meinhoff
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mee

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Have both of above. 😀

  5. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    No Mbemba 🙁

    So Jones comes in for Davies :jammygit:

  6. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Fluked TC's points off the bench with Mbemba missing. Seems like he's no longer a way into the Toon defence

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep same, very pleased 😀

      1. On The Up

      Crap. I have 10 players. That's poor planning for you.

  8. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Of course, when I ditched you starts Lejeune.

  9. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Groß can only paß sideways and backwards. He can't croß either. There was a lot of fuß over his one good gameweek but since then all I've seen him do is miß chances.

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      If I could downvote you, I would.

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Hahaha

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Austin would be such a good pick if he was nailed

  12. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hunemeier on the field?
    Cool, I thought he'd never get game time

    1. Fpl Richie

    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I've kind of got 27 points on my bench. And that's just from outfield players. Getting 13 of them thankfully

  14. Sims
    • 7 Years

    Elliot
    Kola, Davies, Cedric
    Alli, Salah, D.Silva, Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Joselu

    Rooney not getting any service here, looks like he will have to pay for some on the way home

  18. fedolefan

    No jinxing of any sort is going to stop this game from being 0-0.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
