Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Newcastle

3,450 Comments
Share

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.

      Sane should be expected to play after getting rested last week. Sterling, though, will be highly owned. Would be a huge fall in ranks if he hauls and Sane fails. On the other hand, if Sane hauls and Sterling fails, you are gold.

      I'd take the extra hit for Sterling if you are leading. Sane, if chasing.

    I just read a post planning a BB team for 37. He had Dummet, Yedlin, Carroll and other weak choices. Having defenders who face tough games and are usually cheap is a waste IMO. If you can manipulate a team with good defenders with solid fixtures increases clean sheet points potential. My problem using a WC planning for BB is not all it is cracked up to be. Using in GW37 is not all bad news though as inevitable GW38 rotation allows reasonable players to come off the bench.
    Conclusion: look at both GW's 37 and 38 when WC now.

      Sane. If a defender gets benched and comes on as a sub, you are most likely to get 1 point only. Sane can easily haul against the remaining opponents even if he gets comes on a sub in a game.

      I have all of these and I’m tempted to keep the lot as differentials because I’m trying to bridge the gap to my rival’s inevitable TC on Kane (wasted mine like a tit).

      If you absolutely have to, of those 3 I’d lose Mahrez personally. But suspect most will say Son.

        Isn't Son a risk of getting rotated in one of the DGW games? Has looked poor in the last 3 games. Not Mahrez has been firing on all cylinders, but at leat he starts both games, right?

          Possibly but I think he’s still part of their best XI in a one off game and they have nothing else to play for.

    I’m seeing lots of people asking questions about the likes of Alonso, Willian, Lukaku and almost always being advised to transfer them out for City players etc.

    Of course this is perfectly solid advice; City are the best team in the league and they have great fixtures coming up, so it seems a no-brainer.

    However, if you are chasing a mini league leader or pushing for top 1k/50k/100k etc, these players are potentially explosive differentials.

    My point is that context is everything, it’s not as simple as “Lukaku or Jesus?” in my opinion.

    Anyone else who’s without Salah not making any transfers until Friday to find out if he starts? All those City players that I want just keep rising every night it seems!
