Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Newcastle

The curtailed Gameweek 35 concludes at Goodison Park tonight as Everton host Newcastle United in a fixture that has all the makings of a dead rubber.

The two teams are now surely safe from the threat of relegation and appear to be playing for Premier League prize money only over the remaining matches.

But from a Fantasy perspective, there is still interest in the Merseyside clash, with Free Hit managers investing in the likes of Jordan Pickford, Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman in their one-week refresh.

All start for the home side tonight.

Meanwhile, those without the chip at their disposal, likely take Magpies assets into this match, with Ayoze Perez, Kenedy and budget defender Paul Dummett among the most likely to feature in squads.

Indeed, Perez is the most signed player on show tonight, having commanded over 133,000+ transfers in ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

That follows a rich vein of form from the Spaniard which has produced three goals and three two assists from his last three Gameweek starts.

Perez sits behind Islam Slimani in the attack tonight, with the Algerian starting a Premier League match for Newcastle for the first time since his loan move from Leicester City.

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

    Ditch 2 for Sterling and D Silva:

    A) Son
    B) Sanchez
    C) Willian
    D) Mahrez

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      A and c. B could be a great differential and d has nice dgw

    2. I AM GROOT!!!
      • 14 Years

      I did Mahrez to Sterling last night! Mainly cos i have Vardy up front. Doubling up on Leicester without man city is suicide!

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        This makes no sense. You can easily have 3x city and double Leicester, a popular setup to be honest. You're also assuming you know the outcome of matches before they take place. Strange comment.

        1. I AM GROOT!!!
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Ah may be. But that's because I have been burned by Mahrez twice. I brought him and he did not play due to the transfer saga and now again after WC 32 where he has blanked 4 games in a row.

          Also, Leicester don't seem to be a free scoring team. One of Vardy or Mahrez is the way to go with triple Man City attack. Since we also have To factor in Spurs mids for the DGW

          1. BIG TONES
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            Just because you missed Mahrez hauls doesn't mean he is a bad option. Great fixtures including a double and playing for a big move at end of season.

            1. Baps hunter
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 4 days ago

              Son has good fixtures and better underlying stats. Mahrez has had poor underlying stats, is more expensive and has not been delivering in past 3.

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      B & C. Sanchez useless for his price. Willian rotation.

    4. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      B C

  2. Joggers Nipple

    My season is limping to an end! Got about a 40 point lead in mini league and Triple Capt left.
    Any inspiring ideas here?

    DDG
    Lowton Chilwell Dummet
    Gross Salah Son Mahrez
    Barnes Lukaku Kane

    Ryan A.Young Vande Horn Alonso 1FT 0.0 itb

    Ideas include
    Lukaku to Jesus?
    Barnes to Ayew later?
    Actully thats about it!. Need more Man C? Bit bored of Mharez? Think im holding Alonso

    Thanks for any thoughts and help!!

    1. Runaway
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Lukaku to Jesus this week and consider other options before DGW37.

  3. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 days ago

    no one ?

    What do you think about my team for gw 37 ? Are Sanchez and Ramsey nailed ?

    DDG
    Vertonghen Kompany Mustafi
    Sanchez Ramsey Son Sterling
    Kane Jesus Ayew

    Ryan King Morgan Lowton

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Ramsay not nailed.imo, neither are kompany and mustafi

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Looks ok. Not a fan of Ars defence, esp with 3 away games in 4.
        Would have thought Sanchez is fine, Ramsey always a risk of late.

        1. Daghe Munegu
          • 7 Years

          Thank you

    3. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Got 6 differentials and 35 gap to close, same chips left. Is it possible to go with the same Captains and rely on those 6 differentials?

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Could go for Jesus/Sterling as captain this week, I assume most leaders will cap Kane.

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Cheers mate, I am really unsure about this risky business 🙂 I think WHU will give City a good game

          1. BIG TONES
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            I think so too. But there will be goals.

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Start with best captain and take it from there.

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Seems like he will go with Kane. Unsure, he plays well

    4. The Hindu Monkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      No transfers needed this week. Up to 80k despite no free hit thanks to captain Sterling and the absolute boy Fab.

      Good to go? Really want to keep armband on Raheem but Harry can't keep being this poor... surely

      De Gea
      Cedric Lowton Lejune
      Sterling Sane Milo Alli
      Kane (c) Jesus Barnes

      Fab Arnie Maguire Tark

      Bench right? Don't really want Arnie on there but can't drop Milo or Barnes...

    5. Champions united
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      1.Mahrez >sterling for -4

      2.Willian+morgan/lowton>sterling+fodder (-8)

      1. fkmzcgp
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        -8 for a bench fodder doesn't make much sense imo, wouldn't make up the points hit

      2. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Second is a much better move, but weighing up the hit I suppose. Don't like it for defenders.

    6. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Why do people suddenly seem to be going for Davies? Rose has a small injury but probably available at the weekend from what I read.

      Maybe with Rose leaving in the summer, Poch won't be worried about giving him many minutes?

      1. The Hindu Monkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Yeah you answered your own question

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          Might still be looking to protect Davies though.

          Davies had a huge end of the season last year

    7. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Any site lists all your players over the season and their points?
      I've bought Bavies 3 times this season and I think I've never gotten more than 2 points off him!
      Warning, I have him now so don't expect more than 2 points off him for the DGW!

        1. pjomara
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          tx

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Just buy players that are nailed. Problem solved.

        1. pjomara
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          he was nailed for the last dgw with rose injured and still only managed 2 pts from 180 min

          1. BIG TONES
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            No Spurs fullback has been nailed the entire season regardless of form/injury. Thought this was common knowledge?

            1. pjomara
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 4 days ago

              who else was going to play with Rose injured?

    8. MGD
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      How are ppl now trying to fit Kane into their teams for the doubles since most are going Jesus?

      Lukaku - Vardy - Barnes atm....

      Probably doing Lukaku -> Jesus this GW.

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        You answered your own question. Lukaku out is the popular move.

      2. XabiAlonso
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Good luck. You will need it with all those Kane triple captains about.
        I'd rather loose vardy to fit in Kane

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          And have Kane Jesus Barnes somehow

          1. MGD
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            Yeah, Vardy might need the one to go for Kane in the doubles...

            I think my ML rival chasing me have gotten Jesus for Kaku now (He made 1 transfer and bank increased by 1,2)

          2. Regin
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 days ago

            I am getting Jordan Ayew in for DGW 37. SWA have everything to play for & J Ayew is nailed. Kane - Jesus- J Ayew

      3. Richd
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Luk to Kane is popular

      4. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        I'm glad I went Kane over Kaku on GW32 WC, can get two City now.

      5. WE GO FOR IT
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Lukaku, Vardy to Kane, Jesus. Downgrade a mid to afford them.

    9. I AM GROOT!!!
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      I took a 24 point lead this week over my ML leader after chasing him for almost the whole season.

      I only have my TC left. ML leader is going to WC this week or next and BB in 37. So I am pretty reluctant to take hits until the end of season. I do not have any other Man City folks apart from Sterling whom I brought in last night for Mahrez on a FT.

      Can I get away without bringing in Jesus for the run in? Or is it too risky that I have to take atleast a -8 to sort it out?

      De gea
      Smalling Lowton Long
      Lingard Alli Son Sterling William
      Vardy Kane

      Ryan- Barnes- Morgan- Alonso

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        You can either play positive and pick the players you think will score most, or play negative and try to negate some of his best players by picking the same players as him.

        1. BIG TONES
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 days ago

          In saying that, I think Jesus and Sterling are essential from until end of season.

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam

        Depends who he has to be honest

    10. George James
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      Best move here?

      A) Willian >> Eriksen
      B) Morgan >> Vertonghen
      C) Save
      D) Something else 3.1itb

      DDG • Hennessy

      Kane • Jesus • Barnes.

    12. Regin
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 days ago

      My current 3 city players are Otamendi, Sterling & Jesus. Should I stick with Otamendi & hope he plays remaning games. Or take a hit & remove him & get in someone like D Silva?

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Keep

      2. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        I wouldn't take a hot to get rid of him as Silva likely to miss some games too.

      3. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        No guarantee Silva plays every game either? Ota more chance to not miss a game imo

          ota has been dropped, i reckon thats him done at man city after his horrorshow against liverpool... plus pep has already said stones will play

        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        don't have the stats but FH gw 35 was more effective since the gw avg was too low for no free hitters. in gw 31 every man and his dog captaine salah, and had mane and firmino so wasn't much of a difference between free hitters and non free hitters then.

      3. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 days ago

        Would be interesting to know BUT Salah score in gw 31 will false these results I think. 35 fh has been much more a success than 31 I reckon

      Man City have Brighton (H) and Huddersfield (H) as their DGW37! I need to load up ... Don't currently have ANY MCI players (used free hit over GW35)

      Who are the most nailed, if anyone is!

      1. WE GO FOR IT

      Is spurs triple up on Erik alli and son too much? only have Jesus as city cover

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

        A bit much yep. Erik and Alli for me

      2. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years

        You'll want one of the city mids, probably Sterling. I would lose Alli for him.

      Amazing how FPL goes and how you must be persistent. I spent from GW23-33 consolidating between 30k-40k (except 1 week) and then all of a sudden I've cut that rank to 17k. Just shows that persistence and no stupid rash moves, and playing dullard comes good eventually.

      17points off 10k which was the goal. TC still to go!

      Anyone with a similar story?

    20. Regin

      So to those who have TC left. Kane TC in DGW 37? Or perhaps Sterling or Jesus? Who are people TCing in DGW37?

      Happy post rather than humble brag incoming...

      Ended up with 69 points on my FH thanks to Baines lovely 8 pts last night. Highest OR of the season @ 4.3K. Have never finished in the Top 10K (3 times just outside 🙁 ) so fingers crossed I can this season although I have no chips left.

      What is the priority this week. I have no City and only Vert from Spurs.

      Out
      Mahrez or Willian.

      In

      Eriksen or Sterling.

    23. MGD

      Can i see:

      Another managers SP for players?

      How a player has moved in price, i.e. when Jesus went from 10.2 -> 10.3?
