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.

    Pickford has to be the worst transfer I’ve ever made.....

      Yup. Pickford was a terribly timed transfer

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Honestly couldn’t have gone worse, never got a clean sheet from him in like 7 weeks or something 😆

        He was also bad for me, but I sold him quickly in comparison to pickford who I just continued to hold onto....

    Serious rig on DCL

      Hmmmmmmm

  3. Ghost Gooner

    Siggy has looked poor this season, Swans is his level

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

      No Llorente

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

      I'd want to play Sigurdsson or Rooney, playing both just seems foolish, think Siggy could get more returns with a side built around him.

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        BFS should drop Rooney and go 4231

        Gk and Back 4
        Gana Scheinerdelen
        Theo Siggy Bolasie
        Niasse/DCL/Tosun

        Siggy at CAM would get so many through ball opportunities with pacy players and no defensive duties

  4. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Crikey DCL with his washboard

    1. Fred54

    Salah = 10 points
    Ryan VVD Maguire Walcott Ayew = 10 points

    Need Kane(c) to save me tomorrow

  6. Monkey Hanger

    Will BT go the whole hog, and have Hoddle commentating on the Paralympics?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      What's Paralympics?

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

        Are you stupid? Oh wait, yes you are

      2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Really?

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      They would have to rename it as the ‘Bad person in a previous lifepics’

      Doesn’t really roll off the tongue

    3. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He wouldn’t use the proper terms like T44, he’d measure athletes by sins in a previous life...

    4. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Actually wonder what Hoddle thinks Oscar Pistorius is coming back as next time?

    5. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Sack the Kun...............t.

  7. money face bandwagon
    • 10 Years

    Just need everton to score now to kill all cleanies

  8. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Think Kane will easily smash that 10pts tomorrow

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Let's hope so my friend

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Can see Palace putting a shift in

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        With who? Can they field a full team?

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Lack of Salah bps helps

  9. TheRealDog
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    4 clean sheets and 1 goal from GK+defence last 7 gameweeks.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I had three weeks of no clean sheets or assist or goal from 3 defenders and a keeper

    2. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      That's why some have David...

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      1 Cs in last 4 for me and 2 in the last 7

  10. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Want to rage transfer Pickford but he’s got that GW31 game

  11. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Can't wait for GW 32 and wildcard time. Wilson and Walcott have been completely useless.

  12. Fresh_From_Desh
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    The line on Walcotts hair is a direct correlation of his career and viable fantasy football asset

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      You must be new here.

  13. JD @JDCochran2
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    So Pickford has only made 3 saves? I just rewound the TV and have seen 3 saves in the last 10 minutes.....

    1. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Same with adrian. I had him on 5 at ht


      Yet fpl gave him 2.

      1. JD @JDCochran2
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        and another save for Pickford

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I’ve noticed this too. It seems caught saves don’t seem to count.

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        What?? That's atrocious if true. A save is a save is a save

        1. JD @JDCochran2
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          ended up with 4 saves... what a joke

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        That is a huge bug in the game if true

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Will Walcott turn up in GW31?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Just in time to punish the sellers.

    2. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I was planning on getting him in, but now thinking Shaqiri is a better option.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Best form of his life, Shaq. Chances of it continuing, not so sure.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        One long range shot all he did today. Jammy points, will dry up.

    3. 2hotty
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      2 point turn up is better than no point non player i suppose but im going for shaq attack

  15. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Hoping for Otamendi benching, Mariappa on bench

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Same. hope for no minutes too.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It's not bad to dream.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Dunk zero pointer adding insult to injury

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      In the same boat.

  16. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Ffs Walcott, do something man. And F off watford

    1. Lets jump straight into it.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Walcott is Walcott

  17. Delph & Safety
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Seems like most Salah captainers including myself are in the 30-40 points bracket so far.

    Am I right?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Aye

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

      Yep.

    3. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

    4. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yup

    5. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

    6. mdm
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    7. GertJan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Correct.

      45 here with bonus, but only 3 players left.

      Mahrez was SO close to scoring another goal, while Burnley and Brighton were SO close to keeping a clean sheet.

      Triple Liverpool attack paid off nicely again though. 😀

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

        Robertson chipped in with 5 which was great. Obviously the cleanie would have been wonderful but happy with salah and firm hauls

        1. Kun, Ayew Nigerian?
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          6 points. He got a bonus

      2. Delph & Safety
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Sounds good!

        Been a frustrating day with late goals and missed chances.

      3. dark91
        • 8 Years

        Is that you Arsene?

    8. G-Whizz

      At least BFS will be last on MOTD

    • Rik Waller
      • 6 Years

      This is how Watford used to play

    • Rainer

      Roberto Holebas

    • thunder_mike

      Tempted to ditch Walcott even with GW31

        I am doing it

    • Wild Rover

      Hoddle gives Deeney motm for ‘the way he took that past the defender’

      1. COLLIN QUANER

        Thanks for that useful info, Rover.

          What a pointless reply

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Hes one of those posters that make you wish for an ignore option

    • Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It's funny how these players with seemingly great stats at a certain club switch teams and get exposed for how mediocre or bad they actually are. Williams and Siggy in mind, among others.

    • DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Mariappa first on bench.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Same. Hopefully Sterling's head falls off.

    • Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      At least the Spurs game is a very early kick off...lets get a pivotal game out of the way in this horrid GW.

    • Fresh_From_Desh
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      If he scores, the scenes

    • Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Get your sh*t together Walcott, done jack shite since we’ve brought you in even given the good fixtures

    • TheRealDog
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Almost Pickford assist. Everton clueless in front of goal.

    • Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      BFS asking for this by subbing Niasse and Siggy like a fool

      Salty Owner 🙂

    • Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Full time 1-0. We have a clean sheet!
