Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday continues with five afternoon kick-offs, as an array of Gameweek 31 assets audition for our squads.

Three of the eight teams involved next weekend are at home today, with Everton and Huddersfield Town perhaps under the main focus.

At Goodison Park, Fantasy managers will be assessing the merits of Theo Walcott and Gylfi Sigurdsson, along with full-backs Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines. All four start for the Toffees against Brighton, as they bid to make our line-ups for a Gameweek 31 visit to Stoke City.

But the Seagulls arrive on Merseyside in outstanding form, having fired more shots than any other team over the last four Gameweeks and with Glenn Murray – the fourth most signed player before today’s deadline – boasting five goals in as many matches.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town’s options will also be under scrutiny.

Steve Mounie, Rajiv van la Para and Alex Pritchard are among the names to be considered as the Terriers host Swansea City at the John Smiths Stadium today.

West Brom’s squad is certainly more off the radar, with our expectations perhaps limited to their threat at set-pieces. Nonetheless, Alan Pardew’s side have one more opportunity to impress before Gameweek 31 when they take on Leicester City at The Hawthorns.

Elsewhere, Newcastle host Southampton and West Ham United take on Burnley, with Marko Arnautovic perhaps the most notable asset on show over those two encounters.

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