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.

    Lascelles has been superb so far. Everything he touches turns to gold!

    I was bored, so a quick question for you all. Which two players in the starting line-ups from tonight's game will (likely) be part of the World Cup this summer?

    1. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      The ones that play for the most obscure nations.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Coleman and Kennedy should both be in England's 23 man squad.

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Coleman’s Irish

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          But yeah, if we could.

          Has that ever stopped you before? Your ODI cricket captain is Irish.

    3. Bartowski
      • 13 Years

      I understand they're planning on melting down Jordan Pickford.

    4. tambourineman
      • 9 Years

      Gueye and Pickford

    How are these two top 10 in the country? Where do I sign the petition to reduce the PL to 8 teams?

    What a game.

    I’m on the edge of my seat.

    Time to crack open another beer to calm me down.

      I sold Tosun, so I'm actually hiding behind my seat.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Yeah he’s been Messi-esque so far no wonder you’re bricking it

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years

          Heh.

  5. Legomané

    Is there a more fearful state in FPL than to go into the last match of a GW with a GK/defender against two of your rivals attackers?!

    #DubravkaWalcottTosun 😯 😮

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years

      Ha!

        You have to shoot to be clinical.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

            Need to buy Robben, he's outrageous

            I play 2-2-3-2-1

            The game can't handle playing 2 at the back!

  9. Sahil Yadav
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    45 points this week and at 43rd rank out of 44 in LMS. Can't wait to get eliminated from the league 🙂

  10. Limbo
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    In one mini league I’m tied top in, both of us have had exactly the same points last 2, and will be again tonight after autosub. What are the chances?

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      And IF you’re tied first end of season how is it decided?

      1. Hooky
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Rock, paper, scissors

      2. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Least amount of transfers wins

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Would prefer rock, paper, scissors

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      If you've got the same players then the chances are extremely high.

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Probably should have noted we've had 4/5 same players but not all.

    3. Feeling_blue
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      A couple of seasons ago I lost my mini league by one point. Thought I'd won and then Rashford got an extra two bonus points for my rival for the game winning goal.

  11. Somar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    What are you guys doing with Alonso? He misses the Palace game but is available for the double. Garunteed starts i think

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      You guys can carry on playing with a 7M ish handicap in your budget...

    2. Aston-villain
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Just get rid

      1. Somar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        For who?

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Definitely not garanteed starts, ive got rid already

    4. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Got rid tonight
      Had enough of the troll

    5. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Keeping, can cover defence for 36 ok

    6. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Keep. No point to waste 4 pts to transfer him out. After that he would keep two cs and score as well with my luck.

    7. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Sold for vdh money going on jesus

    8. Gazzpfc
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      May ship for a hit

  12. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Bench who?

    A) Barnes (BHA)
    B) Ramsay (Mun)
    C) Dummett (WBA)
    D) Kenedy (WBA)

    1. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Ramsey won't play against Man utd after the ATM game on thursday i guess.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Wenger will probably make the decision for you.

  13. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Would happily take 45 minutes more of this crap.

    1. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      As would I. Cue goalfest

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Wish I tripled up on Toon defence

  14. Somar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Eriksen and Alli safe of rotation? Going for them instead of Kane. Triple Captain Jesus

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Probably, no need to rest either.

  15. Magic Andrés
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Why is a player that failed to score a PK getting punished with pts reduction while a player that failed to score on a clear chance (i.e 1-on-1 with the keeper) not? Just asking for opinion.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      To discount the advantage of being a penalty taker.

      1. Magic Andrés
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Makes sense.

    2. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Ronnie Rosenthal does the scoring for FPL.

    3. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      The bonus points system has showed lots of flaws this weekend. How on earth can a keeper who concedes 5 get rewarded? It's all ludicrous.

      1. Magic Andrés
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        This is what i was wondering too about yesterday game, a GK that got scored 5 times get away with 2 bonus pts. Penalty is tricky for both sides.

      2. BUZZBOMB
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        This is the most ludicrous of all. 0% credible. The rest I can live with just - assists that aren't and vice versa. 5 pick ups out of the net and the GK has had a better game than the other team incuding the guys that scored them? Scandalous. #2 is the price protection of top players...

    4. Rostah
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      PKs are converted a very large % of the time, and when one is missed or saved its a black & white situtation of the player not scoring. 1v1s are converted a much lower % of the time, and how 'easy' one is becomes a much more subjective situation.

  16. Gazzpfc
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Got Sterling.

    Sane, Silva or Jesus a must?

    1. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Jesus

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I'll have 3 of them

    3. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Jesus would be my next choice

  17. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    This time next week Kane will be on a hatty.

  18. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Ritchie will assist Lascelles soon

  19. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    I'm finished with this rubbish. Time for Westworld.

    1. Team Cruel

    1. CloudSky

      Having the qualities of a devil; devilish?

      1. CloudSky

    Top in my league after FH this week. Worth doing the below for a -4?

    Mahrez and Lukaku > Salah and Jesus?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      I'd be wary of Salah's minutes this weekend. Wait and see how tomorrow goes first

    2. @fpl_phenom

      Salah likely to be rested betweeen champions league ties...

  30. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Kane and Jesus will be the most capped players in gw37 so owning both is essential

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Correct

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      yep
