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.

    I remember owning 3 Everton players last season...

    1. THE Wild Rover
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Arteta, Baines, Cahill

      *sigh*

    2. Pep says
      9 years, 23 days ago

      And wanting to own 4

  2. Rainer
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Williams close

  3. Yozzer
    9 years, 23 days ago

    What's the big thing with Mee?

    I have him and I don't even know why. Ward and this other tarvovski dude seem better

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Shots in the box is up there

    2. Ravager
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Think it's because of his set piece threat. Got him a few goals last season.

    3. Pep says
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Massive set piece threat and has had at least a couple efforts cleared off the lines so it seems safer to hold faith than to swap to Ward

    4. SuperMane Returns
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Don't Leave Mee This Way

      1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭

        9 years, 23 days ago

        Choon!!! 😀

  4. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Remember when Arsenal fans wanted Williams? 😀

    1. Sims
      9 years, 23 days ago

      williams and caulker were superb for swansea in teir 1st premeir league season

      1. Pariße
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Remember when Caulker was loaned to Liverpool and was played as a striker?

  5. C'mon the Fylde
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Mooy & Chicharito -> Richarlison & (7.7m striker?)

    1. C'mon the Fylde
      9 years, 23 days ago

      -4

    2. Hy liverpool
      9 years, 23 days ago

      No one I would want at this price ... try to fit Vardy

    3. HashAttack
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Would go for Rashford

  6. seewhyaxe
    9 years, 23 days ago

    who are the 2 best 4.5m rotating defs now?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Ward & Stoke def
      Mbemba & Naughton

      1. seewhyaxe
        9 years, 23 days ago

        thanks much!

    2. red forever
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I went ward Clark myself

  7. TheBusDriver
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Silva, Sane or Sterling and why?

    1. robdag
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Yes. Because they're good.

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Sterling
      Cheapest and very very attacking

    3. THE Wild Rover
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Silva because he's the only one who's nailed

    4. Royal5
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Sterling for points

    5. weaver93
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Silva - not rotated..
      Sterling/Sane - I prefer Sane..but threat of rotation looms..

    6. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      You know. There are tradeoffs. Silva most minutes, integral to attack, assist machine. If silva blanks a few, he'll have a selloff given his ownership.

      Sane, explosive but subject to rotation. Doesn't play full 90, and may not start enough games for you to feel comfy.

      Sterling, cheapest, seems to score some, poor finisher so needs multiple opportunities. Also doesn't typically play full 90, let alone nailed on.

    7. Chirsbom
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Silva. More likely to play, and he can both score and assist. Looks locked in for the season on my team. Nice to not worry whether your investments in key players will play or not.

    WARD YOU BEAST

  9. ★Kuntheman★
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Think I've cracked it for the upcoming weeks:
    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta Davies Monreal Jones (Mbemba)
    Eriksen Salah Fellaini (Carroll, Loftus-Cheek)
    Kane Jesus Morata

    And then Eriksen>Silva and Jesus>Aguero when Aguero returns. 🙂

    1. Hy liverpool
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Looks good
      Shaqiri after city game is going to be gold

    2. Ha.
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Looking good. Anything ITB for Jones > Stones?

    3. weaver93
      9 years, 23 days ago

      not keen on Fellaini & 2 4.5 mids..

    4. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Wow..really do think you cracked it
      Dire midfield though

    5. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Looks good. I'd have a man city mid instead of Salah for next few weeks though.

  10. Chunnam
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Thoughts on this WC team

    Elliot Fab

    Azpi Davies Walker Mbemba Dunk

    Sterling Silva Salah Choupo-Moting Carroll

    Morata Kane Niasse

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      9 years, 23 days ago

      niasse not for me. rotation.
      Morata injured maybe?

  11. Fanta sea
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Burnley have only conceded 2 or more goals at the start of the season. In the rest of the games, when burnley concede, they only conceded 1 goal. Uphill battle for Everton to win this game.

    1. HNI
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Well they havent faced Mancity yet. All will change in that match

  12. mojoindojo
    9 years, 23 days ago

    How does this look?
    Jones, Cedric, Gros to Otamendi, 4. 5, Sterling for - 8.
    Gives me
    Elliot Foster
    Otamendi Kola Bavies 4.5 Mbemba
    Sterling Ramsey Salah Atsu Carroll
    Kane Morata Laca

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Looks good but -8?
      I've been wondering whether to take a double hit so I can get City cover in

  13. Rainer
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Rooney new role as ball boy

    1. Jafooli
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Hope they play Chelsea next week and Hazard starts....

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        You'd need a good memory for that one

  14. eamonhegg
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Looking to get rid of Dawson & Foster

    A - You pick 5.0 Def & 4.5 Keeper

    B - Cedric and Pope

    C - Cedric and fab

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 23 days ago

      C

    2. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Cresswell and Pope for me Egg

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        also have faith in S Ward

    3. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      B

  15. Arteta
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Benched Ward for Hegazi. If Firmino doesn't start I need Salah to score a hat-trick to get green arrow. Another shocking gameweek ...

    1. TheBusDriver
      9 years, 23 days ago

      How many points you on

    2. GAMBIT
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Don't you get Ward off the bench if Bobby doesn't play?

    3. Chirsbom
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Not you best season now, didnt even make the bench today?

  16. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Any chance Brady comes on at HT?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Slim

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Doubt it

    3. HNI
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Its crazy brady not first choice anymore. Dodged that bullet with Ritchie pick

      1. HashAttack
        9 years, 23 days ago

        I dodged the Ritchie bullet with Richarlison 🙂

    4. Rash
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Presume you mean the fact he's hardly had a kick yet

  17. Fanta sea
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Niasse looks great. Very energetic and will cause problems to defenders. Depends whether he can keep his place in the team

  18. fish66
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Anyone looking at wildcarding during the next international break GW11 rather than during this international break?

    1. Fanta sea
      9 years, 23 days ago

      yup. Not much changes are needed to my team in my opinion.

      1. fish66
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        same as, my squad is ok atm (most people have already played their wildcard in my mini leagues)

        Foster, Elliot
        Monreal, Davies, Jones, Mee, Long
        Eriksen, Mkhi, Mooy, Ritchie, Carroll
        Kane, Lukaku, Firmino

    2. Ha.
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Yes

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Yes..got 2FT now

    4. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Yes

    5. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Yep

    6. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I am having second thoughts about this week.

  19. Dr. Agabuse
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Qho's wildcarding and what are you currently on?

    Is Marippa only playing because of injury to smn?

    Mbemba nailed?

    Sterling and Jesus surely too much of a punt.

    Silva + Jesus or Silva + Sterling?

    Mane Sanchez or Hazard?

    1. Kun Tozser
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I'd hold the WC if you have it, still I few more answers would be nice

  20. Emiliano Sala
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Which one is best??
    A) elliot to forster as saints def cover.
    B) mkhi to david silva
    C) rooney + 4.5 to david silva + 4.5 for -4

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 23 days ago

      B

  21. Fuchs Mane Kante
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Mostly everyone on here still fancies Mee.

    1. Rash
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I'm hoping he drops in price and I'll bring him in

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        This...if he finally drops to 4.4, he's in!

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I'd Fuch him

    3. Fred54
      9 years, 23 days ago

      It's only because you are loaded.

  22. _Jane
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Man I have both Simpson and Ward on the bench .. West Ham goal hurts even more now

  23. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Will have to wait on Morata news but which do we think is more pressing:
    A) Foster to Pope (Elliot other keeper)
    B) Mkhi to Silva (no city cover and have Jones & Lukaku from utd)
    Thanks in advance

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 23 days ago

      B

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      B) Sane/Stering?

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Thanks. I do really like Sane as an option but if Aguero isn't out for very long as expected I'd always be worrying about his minutes

    3. HNI
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Conte stated Morata injury is muscular and not serious
      I am doing B cuz of it although I would love to have Jesus

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      B

    5. weaver93
      9 years, 23 days ago

      b

    6. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Why Foster to Pope? Is Fabianski not a better option?

      B of those

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Cheers, prefer Burnley def to Swansea personally.

    7. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Thanks all, seems pretty unanimous!

  24. Royal5
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Isn't Siggy supposed to be the playmaker on this team? Doesn't create anything.

    1. diesel001
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Free kicks, corners and penalties. Which is why it is strange they didn't go for Giroud, Costa, Llorente etc.

      1. Royal5
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Very poor summer shopping

      2. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Giroud, Costa were never coming to EVE

        1. Royal5
          9 years, 23 days ago

          Should've gone for Edin Dzeko

      3. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Need to get Duncan Ferguson back playing 🙂

        1. Monkey Hanger
          9 years, 23 days ago

          With Koeman on set pieces.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Has no one to aim for

      1. Royal5
        9 years, 23 days ago

        Been terrible so far

  25. Nickyb5000
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Test

    1. Fred54
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Unlike Laca(c) this worked.

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      9 years, 23 days ago

      tes

  26. Dr. Agabuse
    9 years, 23 days ago

    would you wc this lot?

    only one ft and kane rising tonight (got to get him back with -4 tonight anyway).

    any double price risers this week?

    1. Ha.
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Lol

    2. Boomerang V
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I think only Bavies, Jesus and maybe David Silva has double rise potential this week.

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Yes definitely
      Short of 15 players

  27. Positive vibes
    9 years, 23 days ago

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

  28. Boomerang V
    9 years, 23 days ago

    I got a hit to bring Lacazette for Aguero cause I thought he would easily outscore Tom Carrol by 4 or more points... Huge mistake! Will change him to Jesus now.

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      heard Jesus not called up for internationals. True?

  29. Big_Andy_GAWA
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Wee chance created by Pope there few mins ago?? G'wan, son!!! 😀

  30. bigwig
    9 years, 23 days ago

    Is anyone considering Rashford after yesterday?
    It's maverick but he was motm yesterday and I'd say atm is nailed on + has set pieces

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Rotates with Martial too much...ruins both of them.

      Plus tougher fixtures incoming

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Well, you see, I have him ... 😀

    3. HashAttack
      9 years, 23 days ago

      Might be ... temped by a straight swap Mkhi + Morata > Hazard + Rashford

      Currently on a premium front 3 but can see that being problematic - e.g. if Morata and Kun are out
      It's probably easier to maintain the top two on form strikers and one top end mid than 3 top forwards

    4. Rash
      9 years, 23 days ago

      I think rashford will be a better option once all the big hitting mids catch fire
