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.

          Just to clarify - is your grav a half and half of Man City and Man Utd? Printed on a Canadian background?

              correct - the Canadian background is/was for the community watch tournament

      "They" really are rubbish at this game. Always seem to be getting it wrong.

    Daniels correctly at 0 points now for everyone except Mark, who gets to keep the erroneous 1 point.

      Stop bullying Mark. He has feelings too

    Anyone else's week looking decidedly like....
    2 x Salah +

          There there. At least you’re not a ghost ship

          1. how now brown cow

            How's your gw panning out?

            1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…

              6 years, 1 month ago

              My GWs are now relative to my ML rivals. They killed me with Kun last GW and have been getting jammy points from Mili and bench points. It’s about hanging on and taking advantage of the BGW and DGW. Week is still early for me to call it a success or failure

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      nope

    3. Fred54

    4. AYLD28
      • 8 Years

      I’d kill for some 2 pointers

      I got two 0 pointers from Mawson + Dunk

  5. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So this is what the PL would look like if all the top clubs joined a European Super League. At least Liverpool could finally have their year

  6. Larry Kane

    TM benching Shaqiri the last 3 weeks when he has scored! (He could get subbed in this week, mind.)

    45 points but only two players left.

    It's all downhill from here

    2. Cok3y5murf

      Kane, Alonso?

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      47 with 2 left... and an 8 point hit which has yet to pay off lol

    4. Judders
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      46 with Kane Alonso and Pogba to play, possibly Sterling if I'm lucky. Do you know when the average is released?

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t worry your more than double the average

  8. Lord Flashheart

    Bernardo silva to shaqiri for free?

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years

      Dont he wont keep scoring. dry patch now..

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Why the dry patch specifically from this GW onwards?

    2. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why not?

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

      Yes. Till gw31 at least

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Points chasing. Stoke are not a good side and Shaq has literally has a 50% shot conversion rate from outside the box over the last few games. Not sustainable.

      I have the feeling Ill keep saying this for the rest of the season while he gets points though...

  9. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    31 with Kane Eriksen Son Alonso and Aguero to go...a lot riding on Spurs turning up 😯

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

      Kinda need Spurs to blank sorry and thats coming from a Kane owner

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        It's alright, I figure your preference (and mine) has no bearing on the outcome 🙂

  10. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    43 points with 5 players left. Surely a green arrow this week for once?

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      For now, yes

    2. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Should be...

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who the 5 players are.

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

        DDG, Alonso, Otamendi, Kane, Sterling with Bauer on 2 points on my bench

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          No Kun?

          Red arrow, soz.

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

            🙁

  11. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    The law of averages suggests plenty of clean sheets in the remaining fixtures

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Utd, Chelsea, Spurs, City...

    2. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      average for this game week is 1 in 14

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Which team won't score? Palace and United I guess

  12. Zilla
    • 6 Years

    Hope no Mili jammy penalty goal tomorrow to ruin Spurs CS

    1. Konig Luther

      the ref says hi

  13. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking move next week might be Choupo-Moting to Shaqiri and Wilson to Qaner or Mounie to pay for it! Is that as crazy as sounds?

  14. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    My mini league leader’s defenders scored 0, 0 and 0. Guess which ones does he own?

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

      Dunk, Ogbonna, Daniels

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Close. Dunk, Fernandez, Daniels.

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mawson Daniels Dunk?

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Fernandez over Mawson

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mawson, dunk and ogbonna

    1. SADIO SANÉ

      think that might be one of the worst 'I told you so' comments I've ever seen

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          🙂 certainly can't

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The whole point of your comment was that Liverpool couldn’t keep out Arnautovic. He didn’t score and you’re linking to it? Am I missing something?

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

        my point was indeed that a team with arnautovic in it will cause havoc for the liverpool football club defence, duly inclining that a clean sheet for liverpool football club was merely a falacy for those who have chosen the path of the virigil the van dijk and co.

    3. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
        6 years, 1 month ago

        How can you not be embarrassed when posting turdo-comments like this?

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

          To be capable of embarrassment is the beginning of moral consciousness. Honor grows from qualms

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Need a 3-0 spurs win with Kane hatty and Bavies assists, then Arsenal Man City goal fest with Kun Sterling Mkhi all scoring to save my week. Thanks in advance

      1. Queens of the South Age

        Need somebody to bring me back a Grays Sports Almanac from the future.....

    5. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Did anyone catch the Madrid game? Did Ronaldo pass up the chance for a hatty and let Benzema take a pen? I can't believe it

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Aye, I was asking this earlier and apparently so. Must be the Twilight Zone.

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

      Huddersfield mid to replace lingard?
      A. van La Parra
      B. Mooy

      Gonna bench till 31 anyway

    7. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Fabianski and Daniels doing me proud today !

      1. Queens of the South Age
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Don't forget Ogbonna for me. Off the bench for Shawcross to make it even sweeter.

        1. Duffy Dunk
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Ryan, Chilwell, Mahrez, Wilson...

    8. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years

      Another failing FPL season.

      I feel like Blackburn, a complete one season wonder!

    9. walkman666

      Nice goal by Coutinho.

    10. Zilla

      Missing cout in PL

    11. mrwinner
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      best non Liverpool defender for next 3 GW's (inc GW31)? Thinking either Hegazi or Dawson due to their fixtures/ GS potential..

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Don't fall for the Hegazi trap like I did. He plays for the shittest team in the league.

    12. DaddyPig
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think there’s any chance Sterling doesn’t play, so I can have Shaqiri’s points off my bench??

      1. AYLD28
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Could happen easily

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

        if he plays in the league cup and gets injured

      Walcott and Pickford... what a fail

      1. DaddyPig
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Same mate, plus I benched Shaqiri to play Walcott!!!

    15. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott & Wilson > Lingard & Vardy

      Vardy with great fixtures and Lingard subsidises the move and he might come back in to form?

      1. AYLD28
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        LOL

      2. La vida FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        No way

      3. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years

        lingard in?? ah

      4. drughi
        • 14 Years

        lingard in ? start over

      5. Ady87
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Okay...so Walcott and Wilson to who?

        Sat at 25k OR, I don’t think it’s a bad move, but open to suggestions.

        1. thegame
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          shaqiri seems obvious alternative

          izquiedero looks good but i wouldnt get him personally

          1. Ady87
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Not sure how I forgot about Shaqiri to be honest.

      6. AYLD28
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Honest reply, if Deulofeu is fit I’d look at him. Looked lively today

    16. AYLD28
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine having a back four of

      Fabianski
      Mawson, Dunk, Ogbonna

      Combined total of 0

      I had 2 of the 4 frustratingly

    17. RubberDucky
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Who is buying Kane before he has been played tomorrow????

        IDIOTS!!!!

        1. Epic Fail

          These people don't care. It's probably us are the idiots who take a fantasy game so seriously.

          1. RubberDucky
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Well I have to take something seriously in my life!

          2. AYLD28
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I’m sure if you look through the stats there will be someone buying Coutinho ...

        2. AYLD28
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          WHats the average today?

          I got 35 points and wondering if it’ll be a red arrow. I think it will be.

          1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            35 is the top 10k av
