Dugout Discussion – Watford vs Everton

Saturday’s slate of seven matches comes to a conclusion at Vicarage Road as Watford entertain Everton at 5.30pm.

This evening’s encounter affords Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers the chance of short-term scouting, with both sides two of only eight teams currently guaranteed to play in Gameweek 31.

The Hornets swept aside Chelsea 4-1 in their previous home match under Javi Gracia, with the likes of Gerard Deulofeu and Abdoulaye Doucoure emerging as potential targets for our five-man midfields.

Meanwhile, both Theo Walcott and Oumar Niasse will fancy their chances against the league’s worst home defence.

The Toffees pair have both delivered two goals and an assist in the last four Gameweeks to earn the interest of Fantasy managers.

Indeed, Niasse was the fourth most transferred in player for Gameweek 28, claiming over 152,00 new owners, while 40,000+ have opted for Walcott as they square up to a backline that’s conceded 26 times in front of their own fans.

  9. HD7

    Good Plan?

    De Gea
    VVD* Vert Alonso
    Sterling Shaq* Salah* Deloufeu*
    Kane Firmino* Wilson*

    Subs: Elliot, Ogbona, Obiang, Mbemba

    GW29: Sterling to Walcot
    GW30: Mbemba to Schindler
    GW31: Elliot to Pickford/Butland
    or Obiang to Stanislas

    Will give me 9 players for 31...

            Meh, was average for me. Most disappointed with the Vardy blank and Burnley conceding

    Do Everton look like scoring?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

  14. Hi I'm Jose
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sorry just seen Salah has done it again but no bonus. Why is that?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Underlying stats are poor. Loses possession and has lots of shots off target

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Basically his fails outnumber his successes.

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Because he loses the ball a lot, has a lot of shots off target and misses big chances

    4. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      fpl gods are kane cappers

    5. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Shot once at the post and missed a header and the shitty system don't like that so even with a goal and assist it didn't matter.

    1) Anyone know what happened to Ibe?
    2) where the f**** are Salah’s bonus points?

    As you were

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1) no
      2) dispossessed, bad shots on target ratio

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Remember when delefoue was essential?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Who?

      That sounds worse than a case of Stafylidis.

    3. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      i remember when he was hard to pronounce

  17. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

    From what I saw in this match. Siggy has impressed me more than Wally
    Agree?
    Is he better option than wally

    HAHA! Deulofeu in for a hit for Ox with GW31 planning in mind (who assists and BAPS) 😀 😀 this really isn’t my season at all

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      With Deulo and Richarlison off, time for Wally to score/assist!

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero and Ox > Firm and Mahrez - 4 will no doubt turn into a load of nothing.

  21. gunner 2727
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Possibly the worst game of Premier League football I've ever seen

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Been worse, this aint even top 10

      1. gunner 2727
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        It's not physically possible. Pass pass hit it out. Pass pass foul. Repeat. Over and over

  22. Sims
    • 7 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Shaq and Arnie the value picks

  23. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I'll take Walcott blank, just hold on Pickford and Kenny!

    1. Fresh_From_Desh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Brave to have double Everton defence!

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Got them in better times

  24. Fresh_From_Desh
    • 6 Years

    Mariappa the only Watford player I will be drafting in for 31

  25. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Reckon Kiko can nail a spot as a winger if Deulofeu is injured and Richarlison shit?

  26. Fred54
