Great to see Mendy back.

[Zimmerman]

FINALLY!

Jesus (toure)

[swadd1er]

Kompany could’ve had an extra 6 there!

Jesus (Yaya) as I type

[dellboy30]

FINALLY!

Jesus (toure)

lovely goal, missed an easier header earlier as well

[From4corners]

Fabianski on for 2 BPS. Right.

Great to see Mendy back.

Indeed!

[jobmeister]

Can't see Sane coming on now.

Really hope not. Have Barnes' 7 sitting at 1st sub.

Ditto happy days bonus of playing a strong bench .now need Baines absence for Tomkins points !

I need Baines CS and goal to round off the gw
I already have Tomkins on pitch, chose him over a Liv def.
Baines absence would only give me Long 2p from bench.

[Mo Bot]

Would love to see Fabianski nick the 3 bonus in a 5-0 loss

[math!]

60 points from 9 plus a cameo isn't too bad I guess.

[Terry Henry]

81 plus Baines to go

[MoSe]

You outscored me by 6, only Baines to go as well, well done.
In hindsight, I rue I went for Mustafi+Mané instead of Ramsey+Monreal, but I can't complain about a provisionally top score

These posts hint that no one started the BGW35 scores topic yet

[math!]

I always want Ramsey in my team but I can never trust him to stay fit.

[jacksosi]

Hennessy check
Ramsey check
PVA check

All on the bench, check

29 bench points

[MoSe]

Oh my, what's the point of getting Ramsey in a FH, to then bench him and play Zaha

[jacksosi]

Oh my, what's the point of getting Ramsey in a FH, to then bench him and play Zaha

I thought one of the front 7 was likely not to play
I had the funds to have a big 5th MF
He wasn’t nailed, Zaha was, and in good form
If he was required, but also didn’t play, i was happy with my 2nd sub.

Shame tho.

I see, but I don't know...

I don't question your choices for starters, and I understand that even in a FH all focused on XI you still can use some cheap coverage on the bench for rotation risks,
but on the moment your choices bring a £6.8m Ramsey on your bench, imho he must immediately become a £4.2m AKing, which lends more than enought coverage in a FH with his guaranteeed 2p (the goal is that you shouldn't be needing him anyway in the most likely case).
And use the spared 2.6m to upgrade some in your starting XI

Of course, I also uderstand that in some circumstances, due to gaps in the price ranges, costlier doesn't necessarily mean better, and if you wanted Zaha, you might still have preferred him over any 9.5m mid you could have afforded in his place with the Ramsey spared budget.
I myself had 1.0m to spare, but didn't know where to put it in mi XI, so I upgraded a 3.9 def to Bauer, and was left with 0.4m

Still, it's just my view, but in a one-off FH gw, keeping a 6.8m player on the bench seems hardly justifiable

FPL is spoiling me

FISO showed me an ad for Single Russian Beauties Online
I thought, I'd rather wait for Double Russian Beauties Online

You know the ads will be driven by your search engine history?

Either way, I’d suggest the single Russian beauties are worthy of a free hit, saving your bench boost for the double Russian beauties?

[RomynPG]

Everton XI: Pickford; Jagielka, Keane, Coleman, Baines, Bolasie, Rooney, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Walcott, Tosun

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Dummett, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie, Shelvey, Diame, Kenedy, Perez, Slimani

[blahblah]

Yippee Pickford, Coleman and Baines start.

[Aldershot Rejects]

Ok, need Kennedy goal and Barnes cs. Simples.

[Notned]

Perez goal or three for me, please!

[bigcliff2]

This is Walcott's hattrick night... I can smell it. To repay the, errrm, faith I've shown in him for weeks on end

[TheBigLewandowski]

Need a Jagielka clean sheet and goal if possible!

[blahblah]

Perez goal or three for me, please!

On the Snooker here and you had me worried that he had scored

[blahblah]

Much happening at Goodison?

[Sammy the Crab]

Much happening at Goodison?

Pickford just cleared straight to Perez. A fairly simple pass to play Silmani in and he messed it up. Should have been 1:0.

Obvious a great shot stopper but I'm not convinced by the other aspects of Pickford's game.

[Zimmerman]

I think he can have sublime distribution (just hasn’t cracked it consistently (yet)).
