Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Arsenal

Sunday’s action gets underway at Goodison Park as Everton and Arsenal go head-to-head in the 1.30pm kick-off.

The Gunners seek a fifth clean sheet in six as they attempt to bounce back from last week’s late capitulation at Watford.

Arsene Wenger recalls both Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey, who both missed out through injury at Vicarage Road.

Sitting in just 2% of FPL squads, Sanchez has suffered a hugely underwhelming start to the season and has mustered just two assists, though both have arrived in his last two appearances.

Mesut Ozil is handed a first start since Gameweek 5, while Alexandre Lacazette is the most captained player for Sunday’s early encounter – over 143,000 have handed the Frenchman the armband, though all four of his league strikes have arrived at the Emirates so far.

Everton’s disastrous start to the season has ensured that most of us have steered well clear of their main men.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney remain their likeliest source of points, though Dominic Calvert-Lewin is worth monitoring as a budget frontman.

Priced at 5.0, the youngster starts for the fourth successive Gameweek and may yet prove a viable option if the Toffees can find their form ahead of clashes against Leicester, Watford, Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Huddersfield in the next six.

    At Goodison Park. Seems Koeman’s stock has risen instantly among Everton fans at the mere mention of David Moyes being linked with his job.

    Just find it strange Everton didn't go in for Llorente. Even if they had to pay £15m (i.e. more than Spurs) he would have been good for them with Siggy in the team too.

      Too many teams are obsessed with re-sale value. Who cares if a player is old as long as he still delivers just buy him

    They must tell the player to pose like they're going to be on the front cover of a 90s rap album when they take the line graphics

    Ramsey misses a sitter

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 9 Years

      Not really a sitter!

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        You would expect him to score those 9 times out of 10

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Not true...

    1-1 low ownership goals please!

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 9 Years

      2-2 low ownership goals please.

    So painful owning Ramsey. 🙁

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Sold m this week for Zaha, will be gutted if he gets something...

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Yep, a bad pick in FPL too.

  19. Fantasyamateur
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Currently on this team:

    Elliot
    Davies - Jones - Bertrand
    Sterling - Carroll - Eriksen - Salah
    Kane - Lukaku - Chicharito

    Bench: Foster, Hegazi, Mbemba, Chalobah.

    0.5M ITB and 2FT.

    Thinking Hegazi, Chalobah, Chicharito --> Mee, Richarlison, Abraham for a hit.

    But honestly I have no idea what to do with this squad. WC used. Want Agüero as well, but at the same time tired of Chicharito so want to get rid asap.

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 11 Years

      Those players aren't worth a hit

  20. Ode

    Ramsey why won't you just score...

    1. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Because he isn't that good? Like Josh King. Went on a hot streak once and everyone thinks he is better than he is.

      1. Ode
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        He is good apart from finishing

        1. diesel001
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          He's above average. He has good workrate. But he isn't Arsenal quality. It shows how much the quality at Arsenal has been diluted if people think he is a good player

  21. Point-one short

    Come on Vlasic and Elneny!

    1. Tcheco

    More nearly points banked for Ramsey owners

  24. Ghost Gooner

    That was a freakin pen! 😡

    1. HamezMace
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Agreed, not sure why commentary just st ignoring that, keeper takes him out, nowhere near the ball

      1. Scout Pics
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        I think I know why they ignored it

        1. HamezMace
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          Why?

      2. Ghost Gooner
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        We don't get enough 50/50 calls going in our favour and comms/pundits never fight our cause 🙁

    Score prediction time:

    3-1 Arsenal

  26. Royal5

    Sanchez looks up for it

  27. The Red Devil

    Ramsey doesn't want to score as he doesn't want another celeb to die...
    Such a considerate lad!

    Transfer this GW wasRamsey to Sterling....Ramsey through 1on1 there and I nearly gawked

        You just know he's going to get something today to rub salt in our wounds

        1. Pierce34
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 21 days ago

          I bet it will be a Kolasinac assist as well, to teach me a lesson for selling him for Jones. (was necessary to fund the Sterling move 😀 )

  29. The Left Duke #3
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 21 days ago

    Ozil looks up for it

  30. Tcheco

    Will Arsenal find their cojones today?
