Everton’s midfield and forward options could be worth including in our Fantasy Premier League squads this season.

New manager Marco Silva is expected to overhaul the style used by predecessor Sam Allardyce in 2018/19 and remove the shackles from their most dangerous players.

Two midfield options and one striker in particular, that were restricted last term, boast some underlying numbers which suggest they could impress in Everton’s appealing set of early fixtures.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view that data in the Members’ Area and also read our full analysis of it below to help them pick the best possible FPL team this season.

    Definitely don't need Kane to start with but Salah is a concern!

    1m itb.

    Ederson
    Alonso Valencia Robertson Bellerin
    Eriksen Silva Ramsey
    Firmino Morata Zaha
    Fab Cairney Wan Stephens

    1. UshFPL
      • 9 Years

      Lose Valencia

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Why? No De Gea. Most clean sheets and minutes of any United defender!

        1. UshFPL
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          He's not worth the price. For 6.5, you want serious attacking threat or a BPS magnet. Valencia can't cross

        2. UshFPL
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Also, DDG and Mendy>Ederson and Valencia

            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            just so everyone is irished has used ">" to mean "greater than" rather than "to"

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years

      Morata?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Giroud out for first few games due to wc

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Too much cash in defense

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Not a thing

  2. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years

    Croatia will have effectively played a whole extra game than everyone else by the end of this.

    Mental

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It will show in the final

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I want them to win it but i have France in the sweep stake

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Tonight was their 3rd extra time. 90 more minutes and two shootouts more than France.

      They'll feel it in their legs when Mbappe gets running at them.

    ok going to cry myself to sleep bye

  4. #FPLBhuna

    Still gutted.. but proud of the lads

  5. DJDave1979

    We can get our own back in the European Nations League matches at the end of the year.

    Ave it!

  6. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years

    The GK watchlist was updated today?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Nah. There would have been a big fancy article.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It says so on the watchlist

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Oh yeah, well spotted! Hamer - rest does seem legit. 🙂

        2. OldBenKenobi
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Still looks like last seasons movements. Maybe just added new GKs to it but still not ready for use?

  7. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Draft 5. How's she looking?

    DDG
    Alonso | TAA | Cedric
    Salah | KDB | Neves | McArthur | Masuaku
    Kane | Auba

    4m | Dunk | Quaner | Wan-Bissaka

    0ITB

    Thanks

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Need better balance. Too many non starters

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Business Cat

      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You really don't want Kane in from the start

      KDB will miss the first games too probably

      Alonso will be in a back 4 this year probably, not wingback. Azpi the better pick in Chelsea...Mendy/Robertson 0.5m cheaper and better picks.

      TAA will rotate with Clyne potentially

      Midfield is VERY light.

      Consider Aguero/Firmino in for Kane

      Get another mid for KDB for the start...maybe Sane, DSilva, Eriksen

      Upgrade one crap mid to a midrange, Ramsey, Mhki, Jota are popular.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

        Thanks for the feedback

  8. Scotty B

    Is Wes Morgan worth a punt @4.5?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If you have to ask that question, you probably already know the answer.

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        He has to ask it..He just has to ask something

    2. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No!

      My worst transfer of last season!!

    3. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Would rather Cedric, Tomkins, or Daniels.

    4. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Nope

    5. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Amazed he's still playing, not worth 4.0m .

      1. Little Frank
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        true - actually could do with a 3.5 enabler for my team.

    6. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He wont even play. Maguire is one of the players who I dont think will miss many games despite the WC run.

  9. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Should have stuck to fpl, worse rank in wc with presumably 1% the managers

  10. @fpl_phenom
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Need a cheap way into Liverpool’s defense... TAA a good shout? Thinking it’s his place to lose... was he in the England squad? Will he be a doubt for GW1?

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Karius, if he's still there.

      1. @fpl_phenom
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry I have Ederson and he’s my most assured way into City defense.

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Cut 1m somewhere else and buy Robertson. Downgrade Zaha for instance, or get D.Silva instead of Sane.

  11. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Walcott or Mkhitaryian?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good question!

      Walcott has better opening fixtures ....

      Slightly cheaper too so just about edges it

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Never Theo. Asking for disappointment.

  12. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is Robertson worth the extra 1million over TAA?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      initially yes as taa could start back late could always downgrade him later

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He's worth 6m, imo . Maybe get both.

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Robertson is a MUCH better option... more attacking , 100% nailed on...

      But Iv gone TAA as that 1 million allows such upgrades elsewhere

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      And more!

  13. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Think Im pretty close, thinking Silva instead of Eriksen to free funds but also give me 3 city and 3 liverpool, thoughts?

    DDG
    Coleman Cedric TAA Mendy
    Salah Eriksen Deulufeu
    Aguero Firmino Zaha

    4.0 Neves Tomkins Pielter

    Ederson

    Stekelen Cedric Wan Gunnarson

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good Stephens or Masuaku over Gunnarson, TAA May be subject to rotation with Gomez and Clyne and keep eye on ManU defensive line up preseason

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Don't like Bailly (clash w Mou?) and Austin looked heavy footed upon his return and I think he is going to get dropped

  16. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is Higuain going to Chelsea?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Looks that way yes

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        That's not a good move for anyone in my opinion. Juventus, what kind of money are they expecting to get for him after paying €90m 2 years ago, Chelsea, whatever they pay it'll be too much, his fitness is not good enough for the PL, for example a part of why Aubameyang flourished in the PL is because he's a fantastic athlete, I don't think Higuain's got that, it's definitely not a good move for Morata or Giroud and at the end lots of FPL managers will get carried away and buy him.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Siggy over Ramsey but looks very nice.

      1. Tempestic
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Or should I go Mkhi and Deulofeu instead of Ramsey and Cairney?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          I would- and have in fact. Any views on my team below would be welcome

  18. dunas_dog

    Subject to preseason form does this look good squad for starting season? Any changes you would make?

    Ederson
    Coleman Robertson Alonso

    Aguero Tosun Zaha

    Speroni Daniels Tomkins Stephens

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years

      yea just keep your eye on chelsea though they might play 4 at the back azpi over alonso then

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks yes if play 4 at back Azpilicueta will be in over Alonso

    2. Tempestic
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      The only query as Norman said is Alonso, apart from that it looks very solid.

    What about a power 5 in midfield?

    Fab Foster
    Daniels Cedric Dunk Zanka Wan

      Value is in defense and your defense is the worst Ive seen.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Wow that’s some heavy hitting midfielders

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard and KDB still at the WC. I think you should spend more in defense too!

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Brave approach. Not sure about Haz and KDB being available gw1. I'd play Foster over Fab

  23. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Would love to see Croatia win the final. A country of 4m. My head says France though.

  24. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years

    Sane or Mahrez?

    1. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      i'm on Riyad

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sane but for season start prefer DSilva

  25. olly:)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Pickford Bettinelli
    Alonso Robbo Cedric Bennett 4.0
    Salah Mahrez Jota Lookman 4.5
    Aubameyang Vardy King

    maybe a bit different not really sure, opinions?

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Don't like Vardy (no more Mahrez) Jota (new to the league and fixtures iffy) and Lookman (not 1st team)

      Don't think a 5.0 keeper needs a rotation partner

  26. Dybala10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Who are people replacing Alonso with?

    Playing in a back 4, he might not prove his worth at 6.5 now.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Azpilicueta if they go 4 at back or might save 1 m and go PVA

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi

    3. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sticking atm, sarri likes to push his fullbacks high up usually but we'll have to wait n see

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Diminishes their CS potential if that's true.

    4. Bad Kompany
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm going with him. Sarri pushed his fullbacks up at Napoli. Their left back got 2 goals and 3 assists in 11 games in the serie a. If he played the same amount of minutes as Alonso and kept up that rate he would have ended with 6 goals and 9 assists. Napoli also kept 19 cs in the serie a last season

  27. madeon
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    RMT?

    Forster / Fabianski (GK rotation)

    Bailly - Bertrand - Lovren (Daniels, Zanka)

    Mané - Jota - Sessegnon - Richarlison (Oriol Romeu)

    Kane (C) - Lukaku - Firmino

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Forster probably won't be playing mate

    2. dimo_fpl
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Kane won’t play gw 1, neither will Lukaku

    3. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Midfield is seriously lacking

    4. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      quite bad sorry dude

  28. dimo_fpl
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this, I have 2M itb;

    Pickford | Stekelenberg

    Robertson Azpi Cedric Mendy | Scheletto

    Salah Jota Deulofeu | Cairney Masuaku

    Firmino Auba Zaha

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      A bit weak in midfield and too much spent up top for me! I'd sell Firmino and upgrade mid and defense

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      pickford might not start gw1 and use the 2 mill to upgrade midfield

  29. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I've just remembered that I was going to give 4-3-3 a try this season.

    Ederson
    Robertson - Mendy - Coleman - Cedric
    Mane - Sanchez - Walcott
    Aguero - Firmino - Zaha

    4.0 - Deulofeu - Cairney - Peltier

    with Sanchez as a placeholder for Hazard if he doesn't perform. Any thoughts?

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      That’s class but no salah so....

    2. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'd recommend a 4-4-2

  30. T.Henry14
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    for now:

    Ederson, 4 mill gk
    Bailly, Coleman, Tarkowski/Mee, Cedric, Peltier
    Salah, Sane, _______, Cairney, _______
    ______, Firmino, King/Zaha

    Ederson&Bailly to cover City&UTD clean sheets, Coleman because Silvas's offensive style and wing back's formation (+ easy schedule). One from Burnley, of course, Cedric good for 4.5 (maybe offensive role in 3-5-2 formation?) and Peltier 4 mill - 90 mins - 2 points.

    Salah must have (captain). Sane from City's attack (fresh and "loves" Arsenal&Bellarin). Cairney is the main man in Fulham & on penalties (I think?).

    Firmino (a few safe premium options in attack) and Joshua (my feeling) or Zaha (popular choice) for third attacker.

    Missing mid range and cheap midfielders (Walcott&Stephens maybe) and premium attacker (Aguero?) for 2-3 gw's when I'm buying Kane.
    Or.. Another premium midfielder (Alexis, Eriksen, Mahrez) but in that case, Joshua and Zaha will be second and third choice in attack.

      How nailednos Baily?

      1. T.Henry14
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I have to follow the pre-season but I think Bailly is the first option in the defense when he's healthy because I think he is the best defender in Utd.

    2. olly:)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      cairney doesn't have pens pretty sure and didn't have the best g+a tally last season, something to look into

        Apparently Cairney is likely to take pens because the pen taker is leaving the club. I'm no expert though,; just heard that.

        Last season only 5+5 but season before 12+11. He is ready for PL, 27 yo, leader of the team..
        But if he is not on penalties, I will think again 🙂
