Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Everton

Gameweek 32’s inaugural fixture sees Swansea City welcome Everton to the Liberty Stadium in the lunchtime kick-off. Both sides boast good form leading up to this encounter, with the Swans earning victories in the previous two Gameweeks, while the Toffees are in the midst of a three-match wining streak.

All eyes will be on Bafetimbi Gomis in the wake of his brace against Hull City last time out. The ex-Lyon frontman has struggled to fill the void created by Wilfried Bony’s departure to Manchester City, yet four goals for Gomis in as many starts suggests he’ll be a key player for the Welsh outfit throughout their agreeable run-in. Elsewhere in the Swansea camp, Ki Sung-Yeung continues to impress with his goalscoring prowess – having netted four goals in the past eight Gameweeks – while Gylfi Sigurdsson has delivered attacking returns in two of his last four outings.

Garry Monk is forced into one change to the side that saw off ten-man Hull City last time out – Angel Rangel comes in at right-back with Kyle Naughton forced to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.

Everton’s upturn in form has renewed Fantasy interest in the likes of right-back Seamus Coleman, who bagged a goal and an assist in their Gameweek 30 visit to Loftus Road. The Irish international has benefited from Everton’s much-improved defensive resolve in recent weeks, with Roberto Martinez’s men conceding a solitary goal in their last three league clashes. Today’s teamsheet finds Everton unchanged, as Romelu Lukaku misses out once again: Arouna Kone leads the attack with Ross Barkley up in support.

    Unlucky Gomis owners. Was a decent punt imo, trying to catch a greedy form player. Shame!

    Quick one people:

    Who is the better pick - Bolasie or Puncheon? If anyone can shed some light, that would be great.

    1. Old Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha must be a factor too.

      1. Alan Hansen's Emu
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Good point. Would you pick zaha?

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          I know pal.

          I guess I'm just relieved as I was so close to getting him in!!!

          I kept Austin for one more week. Still nervous with my decision though.

          1. Syd.
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 2 months ago

            I got rid of Austin for Remy and captained him

            1. super zlatan
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 2 months ago

              GL with that. Could pay off handsomely.

              I may bring in remy next week. I still have my WC.

    Rotten luck for Gomis - and their owners. This is just a little illustration that luck, good and bad, does play a part in our FF lives.

    Shouldn't laugh but my ML rival brought in Costa last week and replaced him with Gomis this week.

  17. La Roja
    • 12 Years

  21. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    1. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you downgrade Boyd?

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

    Who do people think is the best Striker punt for next week.
    Aguero and Kane already.
    Gomis had been an option!

    Berahino?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

    2. Coaly

    1. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Not for 33 but certainly for 34, Henderson of similar value.
