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.

    Gutted I've forgot to make my move yesterday and now Sterling rose in price..

    What should I do?

    DDG, Ryan
    Smalling, Alonso, VDH, Lowton, Morgan
    Salah, Albrighton, Gross, Mahrez, Willian
    Lukaku, Kane, Barnes

    A) Alonso, Gross -> Sterling, 4.1 def (-4)
    B) Mahrez, Gross -> Sterling, Gundogan (-4) or another 5.9 mid

    Going to TC in GW 37

    Cheers

      A with Long as your 4.1 defender.

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

        Or Klavan? If he plays this weekend that could be a nice CS?

    2. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Kaku to Jesus and get Sterling next week

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This

      2. Tshelby
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Want to keep Lukaku I think he still is in great form and will make some goals imo

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

          how come you say he is in great form?

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

            Don't really have the figures to prove it but I really think he can do some damage in his double game or do I place too many trust in him?

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

              What you base this On? feeling from watching games and/or his past stats?

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

                Watch but didn't see the game in the FA cup so I'm probaly wrong

        2. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I want too but think that making hits just to keep him may not be worth it

      3. asquishypotato
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This is what I’m doing

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      How much do you need? 0.1?

      Mahrez + Ryan -> Sterling + McCarthy

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

        Do you think Alonso will play both games in gw 37? Could be a nice move then

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yep. Even if he doesn't, I think this is the best move anyway as Ryan will get diddly squat

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

            Not going to play him anymore, everything for David!

            1. Respect My Authoritah
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Ah, though you said BB37. Then not sure

  2. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    0itb, 1FT
    Lloris/Ryan
    Smalling, Lowton, Christensen, Mustafi, Morgan
    Mahrez, Willian, Son, Gross, Young
    Kane, Lukaku, Vardy

    Best Move?
    A) Lukau>Jesus
    B) Lukaku+Willian>Jesus+Dilva
    C) Save

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      As B is for a hit make A and than get City mid next week

    2. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Would want to keep Lukaku but you also need some city so A

    3. balint84
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      i would save. next week double transfer

  3. Blue&White85
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A. With Long as your 4.1 defender.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Reply fail!

  4. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Vardy to Jesus for (-4) worth it in gw37?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A bit sideways imo. Get City mid for SGW player

    2. RIDZ
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      no

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

      No

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe. Not for me though, he'll score v Arsenal for sure

    5. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy has a good chance of scoring against arsenal, let alone his other game, so I’d look elsewhere

  5. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Team core for DGW37 :

    DDG
    xxx, Morgan, Chilwell
    Alli, Mahrez, Lingard xxx
    Kane, Jesus, xxx

    a) Alonso, Willian, Sterling (352)
    b) Vert, Willian, Lukaku -4
    c) Fernandez, Sterling, Lukaku -8

    1. Gazzpfc
      • 7 Years

          • 8 Years

    I'll do salah to sterling if salah not starting.

      No

    2. Lone Wolf FPL

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      Would if I could but can't so I shan't

    5. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, got Cedric coming off bench this GW.

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

      No, downgrading to either Naughton or Cedric and upgrading Albrighton (ugh!) to anyone.

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

      No, out for vert

    8. Richd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very likely unless a great hit comes into view. Seems unlikely. He’s so explosive and “due”

    9. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No, I believe he will not play both in DGW with Emerson doing ok in his absence

  8. Gianfranco Zola
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty good chance Morgan is out of favor now? That's one more position to worry about.

    1. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’s 33, think he was rested as the matches were close.

      As an owner I hope that was the case.

      And if you can make changes to a lineup then against someone in a relegation fight is as good as any time to do so.

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ooo didn't even notice that. I'm just gonna leave that position now - not much to be gained in 3 weeks from a defender at that price for a hit.

  9. Dele
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    For GW37... is this worth it?

    Tarkowski > 3.8
    Mili > Lingard

    Or should I be looking at getting a Swansea defender?

  10. BON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1 FT 0.1 ITB, Mahrez > Sterling or save?

    Schmeichel Ryan
    Azpilicueta Davies Jones Tarkowski Lowton
    Salah Mahrez Son Willian Matic Kane Vardy Barnes

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Im keeping Mahrez. Think he will deliver in DGW.
      Salah out if AE leaks he is not a starter or wait and use 2 FT next week

  11. Leeds-Utd
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Morning Guys, 58 pts behind in Mini League..Still Have My Triple Capt...and so does leader...
    Basically I'm lookn for a different choice as capt.for week 37?
    Assuming he goes triple capt Kane

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus, Sterling, Lukaku

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be City Jesus or Sterling.

      1. Leeds-Utd
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Guys...

    3. Goalosaurus
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      As per others, Jesus and Sterling.

      Or even Auba.

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

      who do you have?

  12. balint84
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Son to David Silva
    B) save Son this week, next week 2tf and get Sterling

  13. Haugli
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    In a bit of a pickle here and i'd really appreciate some thoughts around this.
    My ML rival now went 17 points ahead of me after tailing me for the last 3 months. Our only differentials now are;

    I have - Pogba, Vardy, Bailly
    He has - Lukaku, Christensen, Smalling

    We both have TC left and 1FT towards GW36.
    Personally iv'e done som analysis and i want to get Jesus, Sterling and Salah for the last GW. However, the only way to get them is to use 5 transfers within the last GW's, ending up with a -8.
    I got Bailly on my WC32 and it punished me hard. He got Smalling whom had to score and have played solid. This probably means Bailly won't get many minutes going forward.

    How should i play this forward?
    Must admit it feels extremely frustrating going down to second place this late after leading the ML many months.

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

      If you do that, i would gamble on a tc on salah gw38

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

      Or sterling 37

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

        My rival captained Sterling this gw (35) and i can see him take a chance on Sterling TC 37 also....He doesn't have Salah but will get him for 38 without a doubt.

    How's everyone doing in the run-in?

    1. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years

      Content to stay where I am, all depends on kane performance as a non owner

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Nice, same. Just peaked to #1 in MLs after about 3 months of chasing

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Top 3k OR. Top for most mini leagues, just 1 I can’t seem to catch! He is top 1k. Last push 🙂

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years

        Not bad Rafa!

      2. hspin

      3. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Very nice. Couple of punts here and there? I'm tipping Zaha for a left-field captain pick this week

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, thinking TC on Jesus for 37!

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      12k. Happy.

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Just got into the top 150k for the first time in a few weeks.

        Go me 😆

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Nice. Taking any hits for the doubles?

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Pretty well stacked, 1 hit to field full 15 for GW37 bench boost

        2. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I got full double team atm so only change 2 for City free

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

      dropped from OR 500 to 8k in the last 5 weeks, but got my WCBB enabled now... would be happy with a 5k OR finish

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Still, great rank. Play it safe and that goal should be easy enough

    5. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      From 130K to 40K in two weeks! Will be very happy if I could stay in the top 100K as that is my goal every season

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Very nice. Quite a similar last few weeks my self

    6. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      670k to 330k in 2 weeks. 80 points behind in my ML to 40 points behind. Time to make the last push for Top 200k and to win my ML for the 3rd straight season.

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

      Top 450 but no City and need major surgery to fit them in

  18. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1FT. 0.9ITB. Chasing 30points in 1 league, top of all others. Best move (long and short term)?

    A. Mahrez >> Sterling
    B. Lukaku+Willian >> Jesus+Sterling (-4)
    C. Mahrez+Lukaku >> Salah+Jesus (-4)
    D. Save

    DDG
    Smalling • Lowton • Morgan
    Eriksen • Willian • Mahrez • Kenedy
    Kane • Lukaku • Austin
    (Ryan / Albrighton / Mustafi / Alonso)

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

      B could be the one. Do you think Jesus and Sterling will start in all those games?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        That's the gamble I guess. Jesus "should" play all games I think, Sterling will probably get benched once. Tough one

    2. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  19. Dumpo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    RMWCBBT

    Dubravka - DDG
    Yoshida - Verty - Long* - Naughton - Chilwell
    Sterling - Salah - Son - Arnie* - King*
    Jesus - Kane - JAyew

    Arnie and King as middies probably to be replaced. Long might also be chopped in favour of another DGWer but he's served me well so far...

  20. hspin
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Probably wise to not take a hit if you have players playing now right? Not alot of matches to make up the -4

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

      Depends how successful you think you'll be. I had a -8 for GW34 and it was a disaster so will probably avoid any more hits.

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

        Had the same, gw 34. Getting some top guns in for 37 sounds nice, but it prob wont pay off.

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

          Yeah, tough to get it right all the time. I had some success with -4 hits previously so felt alright taking the -8.

  21. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on any of these moves for free?

    A) Barnes > JAyew
    B) Lowton > Yoshida
    C) Tarkowski > Yoshida

      A looks good for next week. Barnes could do well this week

    Can do mawson and alli to naughton and eriksen if better?x

    1. Goalosaurus

      Not much between Mawson and Naughton so would probly go with later to save funds.

      If both play the same amount I'd go Erisken. Otherwise could still use 0.5 elsewhere.

    Is there any reason not to get rid of Bailly?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I’d hold for sure if you have somebody to play in his place this weekend.

      Assess closer to DGW37, he might be back in favour then

    GW36 team. 0FT, 1.3 ITB. G2G or should I take a -4 hit to get rid of Alonso?

    DDG
    Dummett Lowton Morgan
    Mahrez Willian Salah Lingard
    Kane (c) Jesus (vc) Barnes

    Ryan Gross vdH Alonso

    1. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso to Vert will defo pay off over this week and DGW37

  26. QuintonFortune25

    40 point deficit to catch. He has Salah but no City mids. Do I go Salah-less and double up on City mids? If so which two are the best?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      sterling de bruyne

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling and Sane probably.

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Reckon we can trust Sane will play in the double?

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Noone can be trusted to play both tbh. He is as good an option as anybody. Can haul against Huddersfield and/or Brighton even if he comes off the bench

    3. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years

      yes KDB sterling, but I'm sure he will also bring in sterling

    Morning all, haven't been on here for a while! So who are the "must haves" for GW 37?

    Playing twice for me so far is:
    Lloris / Ryan
    Kompany / Smalling / Chilwell
    Willian / Mahrez / Eriksen
    Kane / Vardy

    That's at least 9 DGW players starting - Am I missing anyone vital? City / United / Arsenal players?

    Thanks

      City mids (probably Sterling looking the best), Jesus, Kane, Erikson, Spurs and United defenders, Swansea look good enablers also. You've pretty much covered most of the key players expect City attack.

    Is it wiser to keep Alonso in order to get 11 players for dgw37 than ditch him now?

    Salah may out in 37 and it gives much money to upgrade somewhere

  29. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A bit early but how would this be for a - 8 next week?

    Alonso, Salah & Barnes > Laporte, Kennedy & Kane

    (Salah to come back in 38)

    Play: De Gea or Ryan and Lingard or Gross for GW36?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      De Gea
      Lingard
