Dugout Discussion – Friday

The first of seven days of double Gameweek 37 action gets underway at Goodison Park this evening as Everton take on Watford in the 7.45pm kick-off.

Sold by more Fantasy Premier League managers than any player since last Friday’s deadline, the Toffees’ Romelu Lukaku looks to extend his three-goal lead over Harry Kane in the race for this season’s Golden Boot.

The Belgian collected 3% of votes in our Captain Poll – more than any single-Gameweek player – and has already returned 12 points against the Hornets back in December.

Chelsea head to The Hawthorns for an 8pm kick-off knowing that a win over West Brom would clinch the Premier League crown.

Essentially, we’re looking for the Baggies to do us a favour and keep the title race alive, forcing Antonio Conte to field his big-hitters in Monday’s plum home clash against Watford and giving Spurs extra incentive in their final match at the Lane against Man United on Sunday.

Despite those concerns over potential rotation, both Eden Hazard (14%) and Diego Costa (9%) found a place in the top five of our Captain Poll – the latter is second only to Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus for transfers in this week on the back of three goals and as many assists in his last five outings.

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

    He has McAuley and doesn't really know what he's going.

    I have Holgate and study this website religiously.

    What's the point?

            Yeah, course but it would have been for a hit and KDB could still be sitting deeper if he goes with two up top. Also, the Sunderland fixture is a worry without Hazard.

    I can seen Bat coming in for Costa....

    Willian for one of hazard and Pedro

    Ake / zouma in the back 5 somewhere

    Looking at that bench though, surely one of hazard or Pedro has to start as who would replace them in the current system?

    Very disappointing start despite owning Alonso.

    Win kills 2x Chelsea and 3x Spurs motivation for the rest, increases rotation risk.

    And Koeman ruins the Holgate CS.

          You were riding your luck.

          You didn't get those 5 CHE&TOT when Chelsea had missed all their chances for 80 minutes, but before the match started.

          And even if they didn't win this, let's be clear: Spurs are still likely to field their best against ManU. It's the two last matches that are at risk. And Chelsea plays Watford at home before both of them.

          The best case scenario for Chelsea owners was that Chelsea would have smashed WBA. This was so one sided, Chelsea created so many good chances to score, it was really a matter of time when they start converting them.

    I hate WBA evn more after that load ok kak.

    FWIW WBA are a kak defence...they just are. Only Hull have kept less CS's than WBA this year. Somehow it's just that those defenders get jammy assist pts or jammy CS pts for being subbed off at the right time.

    Macauley owners walking off with pts again for sitting on the bench...pffft...
