Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Newcastle

The curtailed Gameweek 35 concludes at Goodison Park tonight as Everton host Newcastle United in a fixture that has all the makings of a dead rubber.

The two teams are now surely safe from the threat of relegation and appear to be playing for Premier League prize money only over the remaining matches.

But from a Fantasy perspective, there is still interest in the Merseyside clash, with Free Hit managers investing in the likes of Jordan Pickford, Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman in their one-week refresh.

All start for the home side tonight.

Meanwhile, those without the chip at their disposal, likely take Magpies assets into this match, with Ayoze Perez, Kenedy and budget defender Paul Dummett among the most likely to feature in squads.

Indeed, Perez is the most signed player on show tonight, having commanded over 133,000+ transfers in ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

That follows a rich vein of form from the Spaniard which has produced three goals and three two assists from his last three Gameweek starts.

Perez sits behind Islam Slimani in the attack tonight, with the Algerian starting a Premier League match for Newcastle for the first time since his loan move from Leicester City.

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

          Many of the good ones haven't finished over 50K either.

            I'm a big fan of his. Always avoids the cliched answer. Always makes a clever, surprising point.

      Lol! Best laugh I've had in a while.

      Think he's given up now

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 12 days ago

        One of the few pundits to back Aguero when he scored 4. Still got it.

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 12 days ago

          He stopped his blog don't think he puts as much time into it

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 12 days ago

            He said public scrutiny was influencing his transfer decisions so he plays the game in private now.

            When you see everyone on the scoutcast doing pretty much the same thing, I don't half miss his independent thinking.

            1. XabiAlonso
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 12 days ago

              My best finish I was following along his blog and it was really helpful in pointing you away from the group decisions. Ironically the last time I read his blog he seemed influenced by the group commenting and it became about a community team instead of how he played

              1. FPL Virgin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 12 days ago

                That's true. The team he built by using polls at the start of the season got him enthusiastic about FPL again.

                His form tables were incredibly useful. It was the closest thing to a crystal ball we had in FPL.

                1. The Rumour Mill
                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 11 days ago

                  Agreed on the form tables. So much so that I recreate them myself now for each gameweek 🙂

        I personally avoid that particular label; but others on here have reluctantly forced me into that group.

  14. JayLegend

    Sorry guys, Everton will definitely concede as I’m watching the game and that always ends in FPL misery!

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 12 days ago

    Standard Bobby Madley decision.

    1. Bouncebackability
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bottled that. Was clear as day.

    Another MNF match.

    Another two hours hoping for a dull goalless draw.

    Genie grant me my three wishes:

    a) I need both teams to concede tonight

    b) Ritchie needs to blank

    c) Perez needs to go mental

  18. Deulofail
    • 8 Years

    Everton won't concede

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 11 days ago

      Agree, 2 goals in 2 gameweeks is a bit of a stretch for Matt Ritchie

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 days ago

        Yeah, no way they'll concede imo. That's my hardline, definitive opinion

  19. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 12 days ago

    Which wins.

    A) Mahrez, Auba, Vardy
    B) Arnie, Jesus, Kane -8

  20. Deulofail
    • 8 Years

    Everton will concede

    1. Bubz

      Do they all own Walcott?

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years

        He accounts for at least half of these

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

        Baines, Pickford and Kenedy make nearly half that figure.

  23. Rainer

    Baines in the mood!

  24. Syd.
    • 14 Years

    Pickford

    Monreal (6) has scored more goals than Ozil (5) this season

    1. Sánchez

    I have Baines in my free hit team so I'm watching the game and reminiscing on what an FPL legend Baines used to be. On pens and was such a threat bombing down that left hand side. Everton's defence was decent then as well so plenty of clean sheets. These days it appear that Baines is playing a much more withdrawn role. It doesn't look like he will be getting anywhere near the penalty area. Maybe he hasn't got the legs anymore. I'd be just happy with an Everton clean sheet tonight although it's hope more than expectation.

    1. Cojiro
      • 9 Years

      You need to watch his old team play. Benteke and Sakho both give him a run for his money in that department.
