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.

    Bailly + Mahrez > Kompany + Sterling -4

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

      Kompany's a rotation risk.

  2. Nightf0x

    FH = 60 pts, 9 players(ozil ota, no bench), mmm i will say it is a partial success as it was my fault to take out arnie baines ramsey butland for ota pickford mane ozil

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Why no bench at all?
      Not even 2 pointers?

      1. Nightf0x
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        No all fodders, forgot to tell also i have bellerin could have chosen mustafi long but went for bellerin and fodders, al is my fault i admit it

  3. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 17 days ago

    Ozil let the side down.
    Other big gambles paid off.

    Now ... If you had no Salah, but rival has Salah and Kane, would you captain Kane this weekend, or gamble again?

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

      (K)ane will surely be a significant differential going by form.

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        If I was him, I'd captain kane knowing I don't have salah at all

      ggwp, go with your gut once again.

      1. Sánchez
        • 11 Years

        Lukaku (c) ?

          • 6 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          πŸ˜€ You're probably being sarcastic but that might actually work with arsenal benching players for EL and United at OT.

    bottomed

    Play 2 of Mahrez, Dilva or Barnes with this lot this week:

    Sterling Son Zaha
    Kane Jesus

    1. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      think DSilva and Mahrez - surely he can't keep blanking?

    35 free hitters win.

    WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

    JOG ON DAVID SILVA WITH HAIR GRAVATAR

        Oh come on mate!

        1. pundit of punts
          • 11 Years

          Well done on the success.

          My 2 powerful chips are yet to be deployed though. πŸ˜‰

      • 7 Years

      FH31 worked fairly well for me tbh, and I got by this week fine with 7 players

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

      Bring back the man in the stands.

    2. Rash

      They can explain all they like it still don't change how ludicrous it is.

  9. Fantasy Gold

    Henry talks so much crap.

  10. stat
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Free hitters, how many of your first 11 (after autosubs) blanked?
      3 for me - Zaha, Mane, Milner

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Zaha, Mane, Klavan, Mustafi, Wood here.

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

        Mane, Zaha, Moreno and Bellend. Hen and Tomkins firmly on the bench.

      3. DrunkPhilosophy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Mane, Zaha, Moreno, Bellerin

      4. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Karius, bellerin, Zaha, Mane

    • BEEZUS
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      30 pts behind ML rival with BB left to play, he has TC. Possible to beat him?

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

        Not without some maverick moves

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Yep. Gambling on the odd move is important

      2. Sánchez
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Hope so. Im exactly that but 40 behind

      3. pjomara
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        he has 2 chips, you have none? you're basically 60 pts behind so

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

          read it wrong, you have bb, he has TC. Bb is worth 10pts more on average. It's anyone's

    • diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      For GW32 and GW33 WCers, still feels as if GW36 is a critical one. Will Liverpool, City and Arsenal punish those with Alonso (banned), Maguire, Morgan, Chilwell, Willian, Son, Mahrez, Vardy, Lingard, Gross, Brighton defence and Burnley defence

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Meh. Could do. After my WC32 I had Morgan, Willian, Son, Mahrez (had previously), Gross, Mee (had previously), Lowton.

        Now I only have Morgan, Mahrez, Mee, Lowton. At least 2 of those will be the first to leave my team this or next week before BB.

        I also have since gotten 3xCity (Dilva (previously owned), Sterling, Jesus), 1x Liverpool (Robertson, previously owned), and plan on getting in ramsey, especially if Arsenal are knocked out of EL.

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Liverpool and Arsenal will almost certainly rotate like they did between Euro QF's.

    • The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 17 days ago

      Disappointed with 65 πŸ™

      Sane no show, Wood 2 points coming on. Frustrating ‘cause I have Barnes in my normal squad but decided to pluck up extra funds for Wood this gwk.
      Hennessey 10 points benched.
      Tomkins 6 points benched.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years

        Nice bait.

        1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
          • 7 Years

          No bait, could’ve done a lot better.

          6 years, 17 days ago

          Man im 60 pts with 9 players only cuz of ozil ota and fodders bench, the problem is i was having butland baines arnie ramsey so from 60 pts to 81 pts (lost 21 pts)

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

          Actually almost same story, Sane no show, Long first on the bench before Barnes and Tomkins. 72 pts with Baines and Coleman, so not complaining though.

      5. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        Evening all, thoughts on my money league chase. Currently 38 points behind the leader in 2nd place. I've outlined our current teams below:

        My team:

        DDG | Hennessey
        Robertson | Cresswell | Lowton | Long | Dummett
        Salah* | Sterling* | Son | Groß | Milivojevic*
        Kane* | Jesus | Vardy

        His team:

        Ryan | Elliot
        Moses | Davies | Baines | Tomkins | Maguire
        Salah* | Sterling* | Willian | Lingard | Milivojevic*
        Kane* | Aubemayang | Niasse

        *Not a differential

        I have TC left
        He has BB left

        Can I catch him realistically? What do I need to do to have the best chance to do so?

        Thanks

        1. Clintymints
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Need some sneaky picks and some captain luck

          Definitely possible with TC up your sleeve. As we've seen BB wasn't as successful as most expected

          Have to go for it

          1. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 17 days ago

            Cheers. Yes one of my planned sneaky picks is Salah to Hazard in 37 for the double and then back to Salah in 38.

            Apart from that I think I'm differentiated enough?

          Morgan may not be first choice anymore after LEI kept a clean sheet without him.

            And the answer is..

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

        Bench one from each:

        i) Lowton or Morgan
        ii) Tark or Gross

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Lowton and Tark

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

            So avoid Burnley defence?

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 17 days ago

              I mean they just let in 1 goal a week. I own Tark and Lowton and they just troll us. So ..yeah

        2. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 17 days ago

          Will Morgan even start? I'd say play him anyway and bench Lowton and Tark.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        With the following team, would you do Lukaku and Mee to Jesus and Vertongen for -4?

        DDG Foster
        VVD Maguire Daniels Mee Janmaat
        Mahrez Son Willian Lingard RVLP
        Lukaku Kane Mounie

        Sometimes you just have to sit back and laugh. I couldn't write this stuff.
        Looking through the match report today, see Kenedy and Dummett both blanked. Whatever. Scroll to the bottom, Kenedy has a 91st minute yellow card. Come on, just drag those salty balls across my lifeless fantasy corpse.

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

          he was very lucky it wasn't red.

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 17 days ago

            That would have been just delightful. Maybe I'll look it up for a chuckle.

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

        42 all out with a -12... only had 7 players.

        One BIG red arrow incoming. Team for the coming weeks looks brighter, should regain my rank. All set for DGW37.

      14. FPL Maldini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 17 days ago

        The bonus system seriously needs to be reviewed

        Which defender gets maximum bonus as a reward? Yes, the one with the yellow card

        WHAT?

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

          Did you watch the game? He basically cleared every ball that Baines didn't block.

          YC is only -3 BPS.

          1. FPL Maldini
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years

            Maybe yellow cards should be a bigger penalty

              Why? So you can get 3 bonus from a player who wasn't as good?

          first of all, your logic is off, sometimes yellow cards help the team to win, so they shouldn't be that much of a negative in the bonus, especially considering your already losing an actual point for the yellow, second the fact he still came top despite the yellow shows he made that many more clearances/blocks/tackles etc.

          Nearly as bad as Sterling and Bernardo Silva yesterday....

          Yes, and he should’ve been sent off.

          Why do you want to put so much weight on yellow cards? The people doing the most defending are always going to get more cards because they're putting in more challenges. Keane was the best defender on the pitch tonight.

          Bring back the dartboard and an independent reviewer. Made more sense. Stats don't always show the picture

            Aside from that, the bigger issue is that Walcott hasn’t been given any, in a game where there was very little going on.

            His goal was massively decisive and should get BPS no question.

            And no I don’t have Walcott.

            But hey, Fabianski gets BPS for a penalty save and apparently Bernardo Silva was the best player in a game in which he played for five minutes! So you know..

            I don’t expect any logic from BPS anymore.

          Still annoyed I picked Sane over Silva and Bellerin over Monreal but overall happy with a score 68

            Sane and Milner here.

            Add sticking to my guns on Aubameyang over laca to that list for me. So close to a massive green.

          Sane in my team this season: 4 games, 4 point, 0 points benched.

          Kevin Long (4.0) in my team: 6 games, 37 points, points benched 6 (27 games)

                    It is, but it reminds me of Sane more than Salah
