Dugout Discussion

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.

    Dunk and Naughton 0 pointers, Mariappa on the bench.

    This game is perfectly set up for a Doucoure winner

    Is Pickford essential?

    Do hoof clearances count towards pass completion rates?

      Yes

    FPL is seriously damaging my love of football, really looking forward to the cup final tomorrow

      I'm bored with it to be fair but I can't stop playing. I think it's just routine over the past 11 years now.

        Definitely my last season

        I feel the same way. I'm not gonna kid myself and pretend I wouldn't miss it but I'll be glad when season is over.

    What a poor -8 this week. Ota, Quaner and Lingard out for Miliojevic, Vardy and Van Dijk. On a really poor run of decision making since xmas, red arrows flying at me like demented pigeons.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Quaner. Damn.

      1. grumpyman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Looked a no-brainer on paper. Definitely no more hits for me this year, every transfer I make is a disaster.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years

      Benched points, bandwagoning, being a miser and not capping Salah more often have killed me.

      I hate it when demented pigeons fly at me 🙁

      Put your phone away and listen to their inane stories, you'll miss them when they grow up

      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Nah. They'll get two pointers anyway. May as well save this week and sit tight, wait and see if anything interesting happens.
