After Arsenal eased past Brighton at the Emirates, we now make our way to Merseyside as Everton welcome Burnley to Goodison Park.

The Toffees’ start to the season has been far from convincing yet they have scored seven goals in their last three home matches across all competitions.

Budget frontmen Oumar Niasse and Dominic Calvert-Lewin – at 5.0 apiece in FPL – are both handed starts but Wayne Rooney’s 11% FPL owners are left disappointed as Ronald Koeman drops him to the bench for the first time this season.

Elsewhere for the hosts, Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to stake a claim for our five-man midfields ahead of clashes with Brighton, Leicester, Watford and Palace in the next five.

But Burnley’s away form will worry the home side.

Sean Dyche’s men have claimed points on the road at Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool, with Robbie Brady and Chris Wood looking their likeliest source of attacking points.

Like their hosts, the Clarets also have fine upcoming fixtures – they entertain West Ham, Newcastle and Swansea and travel to Southampton in the subsequent five.

    is niasse nailed on? better replacement for vardy

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      What's wrong with Vardy? Good fixtures and is nailed. Koeman doesn't know what he's at at the minute. Niasse is not nailed on

      1. Feloh

        too expensive 3 rd striker, I need to upgrade doucoure to a city mid

      2. weaver93

        Vardy - got great fixtures coming up, Best in the price bracket of 8.5 -IMO...

      He was maybe officially but Rashford was taking the piss out of the Palace defence

  5. Wolf of Wolverhampton

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Would you wildcard this lot or just take a -4 hit to take out Morata and Mkhi for Sterling and Jesus/Lacazette?

    Foster-Elliot
    Kolasinac-Davies-Cedric-Dawson-Mee
    Salah-Eriksen-Mkhi-Carrol-RLC
    Kane-Morata-Tammy Abraham

    1.7 in the bank, and I play 4-3-3 most weeks.
    Any thoughts are appreciated and thanks in advance!

    1. Yozzer

      Morata to Jesus. Job done

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        No. Wait on that. Morata has time to heal and a very easy game next.

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Morata will probably play against Palace. Just wait.

      Can still join but you have to wait for reopening

    Hi, which one is better options:
    A. Mkhi + Hegazi --> Silva + Ward (-4)
    B. Joselu + Mkhi + Hegazi --> Vardy + Choupo + Ward (-8)
    C. Joselu + Mkhi + Hegazi --> Vardy + Surman + Stones (-8)
    Thanks, sorry repost.

    1. SuperMane Returns

      Koeman needs to kick him in Niasse in the break.

  10. HNI
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Have a decision to make soon before price drops
    Which one to choose?
    1) Mikhi + Gabriel..no chel cover
    2) Silva + Morata
    3) Silva + Gabriel (-4)

    1. HNI
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Currently on 2 as Conte said Morata should be fit soon

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        2

      2. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That would be reckless. Bringing in a injured player who has an hammy that usually means 3 weeks minimum. Just to save .1.

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Think he has Morata already

        2. HNI
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I have morata already thats why gabriel for -4...

          1. Yozzer
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Ah i see. I'd probably guess that morata won't be fit. I'd go for the gabriel option myself ( I will be)

      3. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          So what you advising?

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      2

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      2 and even if you did want Jesus you'd wait until internationals invade he picks up an injury

                Not sure if I did it right but try now.

                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years

                  Yep, seen it.

                  5-2-3 🙂 Cheap midfield

                  The rank climb is interesting since you've not had any massively impressive weeks...just consistently 500/600K-ish for a few weeks.

                  1. FlockofSeagulls
                    • 8 Years
                    8 years, 2 months ago

                    Just luck my friend, and keeping it simple with the odd unorthodox move like taking Firmino out when everyone was bringing him in.

                    Might not last but I'll enjoy it whilst it does. 🙂

                    1. Business Cat

                      8 years, 2 months ago

                      Bodes will for my rank if all it takes is a few above average GWs in a row to get well inside the top 100K.

                      Must be a lot of deadwood teams who've already blown their chips in the top 1m who're now starting to tumble out.

                      Last year it was a major slog to get into top 20K then finally the top 10K after a couple of months...or it was for me at least!

                      1. FlockofSeagulls
                        • 8 Years
                        8 years, 2 months ago

                        Yep hang in there. Last season I also got into the top 20k early but found it tough to break the top 10k after that. Considering I did get there early I guess I did well to stay there. I also started last season in gw3. 😆

                        Going to try taking less hits this season and see what happens.

                        Good luck for the rest of the season you filthy dumb cat! 😉

      If you need more funds you can always downgrade Alonso to a teammate 😉

      Lack of City coverage, a serious contender for the title, that would worry me..

      Do you need three Spurs? Get somebody least likely to rotate at City, aka Silva.

      1. joersherman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks mate completely agree. Could do Mhki to Silva with FT. Struggling to see the need for WC although seems a good time to use

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          No, they aren't. He is lurking just off the Wingback Wonders table. I expect he will be back on, after this match.

            • 14 Years

            think there's a misunderstanding with "underlying stats" being confused with "points scored"!

              did Kane have shit stats in August then?
              Or did he have a shit score with great underlying stats indicating likely change in fortune?

                It’s October. Everton are terrible. Baines is on the decline. Compare his stats today to his stats of four years ago and tell me which ones are better.

                Sorry Malcolm, but it’s time to ditch Baines. There are better value defenders elsewhere.

    People really need more patience especially over this international break.

    We've seen Pogba and Aguerro get injuries and it's only gw7. Some people even dropped Eriksen because of his yellow flag earlier in the week.

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Aye. I carried a transfer to ensure i have 2 after the break. Wont touch my side till the Friday night after pressers. Best to just wait for 2 weeks imo

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I used my 2 frees cause I was planning to WC but now I'm undecided but Vardy and Monreal weren't exactly one week punts so I was prepared for this situation. Willing to take a hit but my team looks solid for next week. Could save it if I don't pick up any injuries or just do Kaku to Morata and upgrade elsewhere

      2. Fred54

      This....

      I'm waiting on Morata...

    3. Expected Toulouse

      Yeah no joke. A lot can happen in two weeks. Saving my 2 fts until the break is over.

  21. HALFSPACE

    Mee cleanie half way there

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Naughton cleanse 89/90 of the way there

  22. Siggy in the Middle

    Might make transfers tonight even with the international break. Kane set to rise.

      • 10 Years

      Probably alot of Wc's in play right now

    Well Pickford looks to have been a solid choice at 5mil when I created my team GW3. Tough to get that money out unless I WC.

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A hit will probably do it. He was never a great I'd choice with their fixtures though tbh

    2. HashAttack
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Bought him last for last week .... realised my mistake and sold him this week

    Barcelona game going ahead behind closed doors.

    Horrible situation all around.

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Why so?

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Catalonia independence referendum. Lots of unrest

    2. Sánchez

      Prison state. You can't leave without our permission. Like East Germany. The law is sometimes wrong. As it was in east Germany or south africa. Time to ignore the state like Gandhi did

  25. Total Foot 5

    1. Morata is he fit for next gw or need to be dropped?

    2 lacaz not getting the full 90 min, still keep or drop for Morata or Jesus?

    1. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If getting 1 10.5 striker has to be Jesus. If 2, Jesus and Morata (if fit)

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Morata if fit, over Jesus for me

    3. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      1. Who knows, follow the news updates, not this lot 😉

      2. Funds better spent on Jesus with Kun out atm, better fixtures and team.

      3. There is only one Harry Kane.

  26. Cojiro
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    What's the better option?

    A) Bavies 4-3-3 (2x 4.5 mid)

    B) Groß 3-4-3 (Naughton+T.Carrol)

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A easily

    4. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      A for me

  27. Harry Ball Bag™âš½âš½…
    • 15 Years

    Lacazette owners keeping or ditching?

    1. HALFSPACE
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      keeping

    2. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Think i'll probably ditch for Jesus. Today was his judgement day

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on morata

    4. Merlin the Wraith
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping here, was unlucky today, woodwork & selfishness of midfield undid him. not happy at Wenger's impulsion to sub him at 70' though. think a tiring defence could give him more opportunity to pick up a goal or so

  28. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Williams is so so bad

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He's past it

    2. Fanta sea
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Big reason why they're in trouble atm.

  29. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    How's Brady doing. Any involvement.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      He took a corner.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Useless. Getting rid soon.

  30. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Would you start
    A) Jones (liv)
    B) Choupo (mci)

    Actually leaning towards A, even though it leaves me with a 5-2-3

    1. Over Midwicket
