Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Arsenal

Sunday’s action gets underway at Goodison Park as Everton and Arsenal go head-to-head in the 1.30pm kick-off.

The Gunners seek a fifth clean sheet in six as they attempt to bounce back from last week’s late capitulation at Watford.

Arsene Wenger recalls both Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey, who both missed out through injury at Vicarage Road.

Sitting in just 2% of FPL squads, Sanchez has suffered a hugely underwhelming start to the season and has mustered just two assists, though both have arrived in his last two appearances.

Mesut Ozil is handed a first start since Gameweek 5, while Alexandre Lacazette is the most captained player for Sunday’s early encounter – over 143,000 have handed the Frenchman the armband, though all four of his league strikes have arrived at the Emirates so far.

Everton’s disastrous start to the season has ensured that most of us have steered well clear of their main men.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney remain their likeliest source of points, though Dominic Calvert-Lewin is worth monitoring as a budget frontman.

Priced at 5.0, the youngster starts for the fourth successive Gameweek and may yet prove a viable option if the Toffees can find their form ahead of clashes against Leicester, Watford, Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Huddersfield in the next six.

    Sanchez sarcastically clapping Kola

      Why?

    2. Fred54

      When Kola met Sanchez for the first time.

      Sanchez: I love my dogs.

      Kola: I'm not really a dog person.

      And that's why Sanchez hates Kola...

    I like how Everton fans are so much involved.

      Always moaning for everything, gets annoying.

      Especially when they punch the opposition.

    Todays average went down with that Ozil goal.

    My sources at Spurs are saying Lloris starts today

    1. Mark-O

      1. Sánchez

  9. QuintonFortune25

    Not going to give Kolasinac the Swansea game. No threat going forwards at all

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      he is pretty dangerous at home

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years

      Unwise. That’s the game you can expect a clean sheet in.

        No Mustafi, no CS.

            Mertesacker, no CS probably makes more sense :p

    3. Merlin the Wraith
      • 8 Years

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

  11. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I think its fair to say they got Ozils price wrong

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah overpriced

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        This

  12. JJO
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How I hate when I have players that I dont like or rate in my team just because they can be good options for fantasy game
    And they always do nothing for me
    Worst combo ever

  13. FER FUSCH AKE

    Kane to disappoint today

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yep. Kane to disappoint all non owners and non captainers

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I didn't captain him so there is a good chance this happens.

      2. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Hope so (silly non-capper)

        1. _figu

          • 6 Years

          Wembley though. Fully expecting him to troll me again 😛

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds normal, him getting some points will be something...

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      Wouldn't be surprised if he blanked

  14. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Anything better than Alonso + Chalobah > Mee + Salah here?

    Krul Elliott
    Alonso* Jones* Kolasinac Cresswell* Hunemeier*
    Eriksen Sterling Chalobah* Cork Carroll
    Aguero Lukaku Vardy

    1 FT 2.7 itb

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I like that a lot. Trying to decide who to drop for Salah as well.

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Chalobah

  15. ONE PUNCH MAN

    Has Kane ever got a RC in his career?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      Yes - for orient I believe.

  16. HamezMace
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Did Southgate forget Rooney retired, who's he their to watch? Baines?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ramsey and Williams

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        ....not sure if serious?

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Scouting if Wilshere is good for the bench..

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Probably the best example of Arsenal failing English talent

    3. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Pickford?

    Unconfirmed rumours that Spurs play home games at Wembley. Its never been brought up on here though...much.

    1. Guy Demel
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They’ll do well there. Should be able to turn it into a fortress.

      1. Rash

        Made out of sand

  19. Sim Simma

    Kola gets back at Sanchez by denying him a goal...sweet

  20. Rainer

    Had forgotten what poor Siggy looked like 🙁

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Siggy is rich my friend

  21. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years

    Sterling about to be overtaken by Monreal for total points

  22. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Siggy is turning out to be a bit of an expensive flop

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not according to his bank account

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Unfortunately. Is Sanchez’ assist worth 11.8 for a mid this year?

  23. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Ozils got two layers of bags under his eyes from all those late nights playing fifa as himself

  24. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Runours saying that Sanchez will not be playing for Spurs..
    Coz he's already playing for Arsenal! 😀

    If Ben Davies is a no show again there will be hell to pay

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      How do you go about paying hell

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Transferring him out of my team I suppose

    2. GS456
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sold him this morning for otamendi

      City look to be on a run where I can’t see them losing or conceding, abit like Chelsea last year.

      Good to have him in place

  26. _figu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I want some Pool cover. Problem is Idk who to get rid. 2 FTs

    Couple options:

    A) Jones Sterling OUT, Moreno Coutinho IN
    B) Eriksen to Salah/Coutinho
    C) Hazard to Salah/Coutinho

    1. zag
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      C - Hazard is overpriced

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If I do Hazard to Salah/Coutinho I have funds to do Jesus to Kun. Hmm.

  27. zag
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I’ve got a transfer to burn. Kola -> Monreal?
