Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Manchester United

After Liverpool’s second-half collapse in a seven-goal thriller at the Vitality Stadium, we now make our way to Goodison Park as Everton entertain Manchester United in the 4pm kick-off.

With five goals in as many outings across all competitions, Zlatan Ibrahimovic carries the hopes of many Fantasy managers heading into this one.

Up against a defence with one clean sheet in nine, the Red Devils’ frontman was the second most captained player in Gameweek 14 with just over 13.1% of Fantasy Premier League managers handing him the armband.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Anthony Martial are rewarded with starts after both excelled in the midweek cup win against West Ham.

The Toffees recent downturn in form saw over 231,000 FPL managers part company with Romelu Lukaku last week alone – only Philippe Coutinho was subject to more transfers out ahead yesterday’s deadline.

Now down to 9.5 in price, the big Belgian has netted just once in the last five Gameweeks compared to six goals in his first seven appearances.

Nonetheless, with United managing just two shut-outs in the previous 10 league matches, Ronald Koeman’s side will be optimistic of getting back amongst the goals today.

    Fuchs to a Southampton defender for -8?

      • 7 Years

      Haha But seriously no .

    2. Kroosin'

      If you bought him after GW 10, you will feel terrible after taking him out for a -8.

      1. Greenbackbøøg…

        Really its a -4 assuming a hit has already been taken

    what was the zlatan incident with coleman? Could he face a violent conduct charge?

      Nah. Wasn't that serious.

      Depends if FA seen him kicking Coleman in head. We all saw it. FA are a dodgy old bunch though

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        And with the way the FA have it in for Jose it would not surprise me more in there line to give a look at Adrains tackle on Zlatan during the EPL Cup midweek

      2. Old Man
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        That bit was accidental in my opinion, but it was his next action (bringing his feet down again on Coleman) that was very questionable.

    4. Virgil Hilts

      Gary Neville thought it was "naughty" if i remember the commentary correctly.

      Although I could be wrong.

    1. Paul
      • 14 Years

    2. Epic Fail

      None

    3. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I will be taking at least one , not even ruling out 2

      Bit of a change of fixtures and Aguero money to spend ,

    4. Kroosin'
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Aguero > Costa - Necessary.
      Pedro > Eriksen - To facilitate the first transfer since I had Hazard and Alonso.

    5. flipperallstars

      Took a hit to bring in pieters and mane for Williams and lukaku

      1. Kroosin'
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        How is that possible ?

      2. flipperallstars
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Should say coutinho!!!! Not sure why it changed to lukaku as I ditched him week before for ibra!!!

    6. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      -4 (1 hit)

      Aguero to Costa was the only transfer I had to make.

      However couldn't afford any Kane rises so had to get him in prep for Spurs home fixtures too.

    7. jungle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Took a hit to ship Kun and KDB on Friday night...and brought in Kane and Sanchez. Luckiest moves of the season for me....

      1. Toure The Route
        • 7 Years

        Brilliant feeling it must be

          It is - I woke up on Saturday with a steaming hangover and then realised what I had done the night before. I nearly cried....!

          1. Toure The Route
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Well done
            Such gutsy risks only deserve the respective high end rewards.

    8. Arteta
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I haven't even used my FT. I'm waiting till Thursday or Friday night if possible. It depends on if some unexpected injuries happen to either Koscielny and Walker. On my watchlist are Alonso, Cedric and van Dijk.

      1. Arteta
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        And I need to wait for Mane/Costa/Heaton news anyway.

    9. b✪mber
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Had to take Kun,Kaku and Deeney out prior to the game, coz I felt Ibra,Kane and Austin were better picks moving forward (price changes and the plan to get Alonso this week also played a part). Got lucky with the Kun red (as a fresh non-owner). 2nd hit of the season.

      First hit was Sanchez, Antonio and Mustafi for Haz, Mane and Darmian. A bit mixed emotions on that 1 as I got Haz for the 19 pointer, but lost the last 2 from Sanchez. Still feeling good though as I've gotten great returns from Mane in the past 4.

      Currently not planing on bringing Sanchez back in, coz I don't want to deviate from my current plan, but if this run continues I'd have to reconsider.

      1. fedolefan
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Mane is a great pick. Went for him over Coutinho and returned 13, 3, 6, 11. Just can't complain with that. He is also a quality under the radar differential. Really hope he stays fit.

        1. b✪mber
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I'm glad that I own him, but will probably ship him out for Sanchez if Sanchez continues like this. I thought that both him and Sanchez will be similar value if I don't consider the captaincy (and thought I had the captaincy without Sanchez covered well) - as It stands I'm wrong on the value thing, and add to that that my C picks in the last 4 have failed (apart from Kane). Still gonna give a week or 2 a go on this set up though.

    10. DantheManinaPan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Took a -4.

      Got rid of Aguero, Rondon and Holebas.

      Brought in Kane, Costa and Tymon.

      Very happy

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 9 Years

    choose one:

    a) morgan -> alonso for -4
    b) clyne, walcott -> alonso, hazard for -8

    Following on from EF's post about cheating in FPL,

    Woud you say you mostly use this site because:

    A) It helps you get ahead in FPL
    B) It's the only/best place where you can discuss the game and display your passion for it, with like-minded people

    1. 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B easily. Not the same talking about it with my mates as they don't care as much as me.

      1. Virgil Hilts

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      B, but even then, I come mainly for the community to talk about non FPL related things too.

    3. Kroosin'
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B. I like the discussions. Especially after a high scoring game 😀

    4. the axolotl

      b for sure. i didn't improve after finding this place, but that's my fault i reckon. the info is provided, up to you to make better decisions with more info

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This place hasn't improved me. I was already in the habit of doing research. What it has done is consolidate everything I need in once place so I don't have to trawl the net like I used to.

        I think I found this place while searching for "List of Prem penalty takers".

        1. the axolotl
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          i can't remember how i came across it, but was blown away that there was a whole website dedicated to this game - in about 2010. not really sure what i used to look at before here, other than lawro's predictions on the bbc site

    8. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B. Although I do talk to my bro about it, so I let off some passion about the game with him.

      As for A, there are so many ideas/opinions posted on here picking the right one is an art itself, so it doesn't really help you in a solid way. If what you pick up here works, it simply works. If what you pick up here and try and it does not work, it simply does not work. End of.

        But will use stats , RMT , all the tools
        Even that though is as an escape

        I'm used to do insane amounts of research on horse racing ,so it's a bit of a busmans holiday

    10. Partick Bateman

      7 years, 11 months ago

      C? Love the data in the members area and use it to help make decisions, I don't post much but I do enjoy reading the articles, posts and opinions. Get a lot of value from both sides of the site.

      Han't really improved my scores but it has improved my TV.

      I didn't know about early transfers to get the rises, fplstats etc

      Maybe it will pay off later in season (fingers crossed)

        I also learned about FPL Stats here.

    13. bojack
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      How can you cheat in FPL. Have two teams?

      I am a paid member for the information I get and this sometimes helps me make decisions. I think forum only helps if you listen to the right people who are pretty few and far between (and I ain't one!).

      I like the chatter but on gamedays it's usually just a mixture of desperation and posts with no replies.

      1. Demí
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Do you think the members area gives you the edge over rivals or the forum? I would say the latter 100%

        1. bojack
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          The forum because people condense whatever is in the members area to their replies here I think. You learn who the good players are pretty quickly.

          It's not a forum though really, I think the site would benefit from a proper forum where you could post about a topic and go in and discuss in depth. But whether this is restricted to members is hard to say. On matchdays it's not a great place to be usually and I think a lot of the older members don't come on on the weekend.

      Booted Aguero for Costa already..

      So for the -4 (assuming most Aguero binners will take a -4) the options are limitless

      Currently torn between:

      a) Walcott > Hazard (have Sanchez)
      b) Diomande > Anichibe (short term punt)

        Nacho, Origi, Carroll are .

      Got Ibra, but I think he would be so much better fantasy pick if he would be surrounded by better players.. Those UTD mids are just very average to me.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Afer all the stick Aguero got I really was perplexed as to why people were raving about Ibra...he's just a slightly less expensive version of him. Poor returns for a high cost.

        • 12 Years

        The whole team looks out of sorts. Defence is a bit of a shambles too.

        1. joescores
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          How much did they pay for Depay? Fellaini? I would give pass to Pogba, Rashford.. Rooney, Martial, Mata,Mikhi are just too average for United standards. (I don't support United). They are not making TOP4 this season, no chance

          1. Maarrrr17
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            When Mkhitaryan finds his top form he will be one of the best players in the league.
            On his day he is better than hazard and De Bruyne.

      3. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Mkhitaryan, Pogba, Mata, Martial are not just very average.

            • 11 Years

              Austin+Hazard or Willian/Pedro + Costa?

                Tough, probably Austin and hazard. Thoughts on mine below?

                • 7 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                How are you going to choose between Willian or Pedro ?

    8. ANON.
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      1ft, 0.7itb

      Heaton, Pickford
      VVD, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
      Hazard, Mane, Firmino, Walcott, Fletcher
      Ibra, Kane, Austin

      If mane is injured:
      A. Mane to Siggy
      B. Mane + Walcott to Sanchez + Can/Fer/Phillips/6m -4
      C. Mane + Williams to Siggy + Alonso -4

      Quite like C, next week with that I could do Walcott to 8.9, Spurs mid maybe

      1. Toure The Route
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        C has the highest chance of points next week too IMO
        That is, immediate return from both looks likely .
        Alonso is always worth a hit in the long term too.
        Monitor Wally another week maybe?

      2. Captain Vantastic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Wouldn't do a thing with that team, West Ham are so poor atm so I won't sell Mane just now. Maybe just Walcott to Siggy

      Need some advice on the best move this week guys:

      Heaton,Jaku
      Kosc, Evans, Holebas, Barragan, Amat,
      Sanchez, Firm, Mane, Allen, Fletcher,
      Kun, Kane, Austin

      A) Allen and Kun to Siggy and Costa (-4)
      B) Mane and Kun to Haz and Costa (-4)
      C) Firm and Kun to Haz and Costa (-4)

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          • 8 Years

          U mean overall. Costa scored more this week though so maybe he'll outscore ibra gain

          Depends which way u look at it

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. fedolefan
          • 10 Years

          He's hardly the first name people want to bring in though. It's all Sanchez and Hazard right now.

      2. ANON.
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Need him to be fit. What do u think? Not sure what he did exactly, just started limping all of a sudden. Was it muscular or a knock?

        1. fedolefan
          • 10 Years

          I didn't watch the game. Yesterday knocked the stuffing out of me. Read a post on the last page saying it was a bad groin tear.

        West Ham next.

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Plenty of people are consideirng it.

        The Firminho cycle will probably come good again V WHU but I might have to consider getting Eriksen by then.

        1. Fred54

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        He must use some kind of wallpaper paste to hold his pony tail up

      6. Demí
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Poor. I would just keep as i can't see anyone you transferring in having a better chance of outscoring him playing West Ham at home. Reassess after that

        1. UCL Fantasy
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

            Lol, fair enough. Thought you would've been thinking of a downgrade to Siggy/Eriksen or someone

      7. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I think he might have played with a slight knock and it might have hampered him i am willing to give him another chance but he better pull up his socks or he is out

      8. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He honestly didnt look as threatening as he does in the False 9 with Coutinho. It will be interesting to see who Lallana replaces in the starting 11 and how it's affects Firmino's position.

        I'd hold for one last week West Ham at home next could be 3/4 goals.

      12. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I'm very tempted myself, feels like a consistent disappointment, tempted to get someone cheaper and upgrade a defender. Seriously considering shipping out next GW for Erikson

    18. Punter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How did Firmino look tonight? 3 weeks without points has him on thin ice for me, can flip him for Sanchez with Agueros money (for -4)

      Do we think Nacho will start all 4 games which Aguero will miss? Or there's no guessing with Pep better stay away?

      What about Origi? Is he nailed for now?

          His minutes will be managed. Can't see him completing 90 in the next 5 and he won't start 2 out of those for sure.

          I'm looking very short term. Probably just one or 2 games not more than that.

    21. KDF
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hello, I am looking at about a 60 point deficit on my cash ML leader however he has already used both his TC and this week used his Bench Boost. My thinking is I am probably about level with him with the value of the chips? how much do we consider them to be worth used well on DGW (as is my intention)?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He is ahead. You'll do well to get 30 with BB and TC scoring 30 more than normal captain is a struggle.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          He also doesn't have to shape his team for the BB later in the season where the blanks and rotation make things interesting.

        2. KDF
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          fair enough, I am dragging him in and I like my team much more than his right now so will hopefully overtake him naturally way before DGW.

      2. Pinky Blinders
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Well this is a touchy subject in these parts. I would absolutely save your second WC, BB and TC for the DGWs based on my experience last year. I think I used them OK and I got a massive boost in rank when all was said and done. Finished just over 2k when I was at near 100k on Jan 1 2016.

        1. Pinky Blinders
          • 8 Years

        It's impossible to say. You've just got to hope that you use them on a week with high scores.You could be lucky and use it on a week where Sanchez get 2 hat tricks or something.

        1. KDF
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          In all honesty although he is clear of all by about 40 I don't see him as a likely winner, there are a few who I think will overtake him and since joining this community (gw7) my rank has gone up by about 500k and I am sure I can continue to out perform the casuals, of which I definitely was before. I really started badly and had been hit and miss, I have now started to be a lot more successful with transfers and yes I have still made bad ones and too many, it is coming together now so thanks all 🙂

        Rondon has mainly bad fixtures for next 4 , I own but wouldn't bring him in

        Other 2 could work

      2. Here's Tom with the We…

      Even though I can now afford Siggy (from the Aguero money) I kinda still prefer Moses
      And quite a saving in cash

      Is Moses a bad pick ?

        Not exactly
        He is a winger technically and tries to get forward whenever he can
        Should score or assist one every 3-4 games by the looks of it
        Might be considered a good option as the season shows..,once he gets that one explosive week for people to actually consider him. Right now the Chelsea slots are booked in most teams haha.

        Decent fixtures for sure
