Is new striker role hurting Richarlison’s FPL prospects?

Richarlison has spent the last two weeks as the centre-foward in Marco Silva’s Everton team, which has affected his Fantasy Premier League potential.

We have delved into the Fantasy Football Scout Members’ Area to discover just how different his numbers are since moving from his traditional home on the left-wing of attacking midfield.

We have compared his last two matches primarily with Gameweeks 6 and 7, after he came back from the three-match suspension he picked up in Gameweek 3.

These fixtures offer a decent insight into his style of play and are not particularly skewed either, the Gameweek 7 win over hapless Fulham offsetting the Gameweek 6 visit to Arsenal.

    Morning all, apologies got bottomed but happy friday again!

    Foster
    Doherty. Alonso. Chilwell
    Salah (c) Hazard. Maddison. Fraser
    Ings. Aguero. Mitro

    Pat. Trippier. AWB. Cairney

    1FT, 0.2 ITB

    A) Trips > Robbo
    B) Trips > Mendy
    C) Save
    D) Something else?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I would say A is safer than B

      1. n-doggg
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        How come?

      2. fridge
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I'd tend to agree with this, think rotation is a possibility for both but more people have Robbo

    2. Cheshire Duck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'd save, you'll be happy to have 2 FT after the next international break

      1. fridge
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Tempted to do this, don't think there two will get too many price rises now I hope though...

  3. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Kane and Kante out for Success and Salah for -4, will skip Salah.

    Pat
    Mendy Robbo Alonso
    Salah Mane Haz Fraser Billing
    Aguero Wilson

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Don't skip Salah, he has to play. In fact, I make him your (C)!!

      1. fridge
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Think by skip he means skipper as in captain...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Correct 🙂

  4. Fire Chief Moe

    Was there any update on HAzard last night?

    1. Bald Eagle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, no news on Hazard injury unfortunately.

  5. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    2Fts to ruin my team.

    Alonso, Rich, Knockaert -> Duffy, Murphy, De Bruyne (-4)

    Ryan
    Laporte, Robbo, Doherty
    Haz, Salah, KdB, Fraser
    Kun, Mitro, Jimenez

    Button, Duffy, Balbuena, Murphy

    Any takers?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Actually quite like them moves

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. Back on the horse
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure I would take a hit to get kdb away to spurs. Can't you spread it over 2 weeks or is money tight?

  6. Cheshire Duck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pick one option, I have 2 FT and 0 ITB
    A) Richarlison + Doherty > Pereyra + Pereira
    B) Richarlison + Doherty > Pereyra + Duffy
    C) Richarlison + Doherty > Milner + Bellerin
    D) Richarlison > Milner and save 1 FT
    E) Richarlison > Pereyra and save 1FT

    My team atm :
    Fabianski - Foster
    Mendy - Robertson - Bennett - Doherty - Wan Bissaka
    Hazard - Salah - Richarlison - Fraser - Maddison
    Deeney - Aguero - Arnautovic

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      So you’re definitely moving Rich.
      From those E.

      If your considering A I’d go Chilwell over Periera. I have the latter and getting slightly worried about his game time in future weeks..

      1. Cheshire Duck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah Everton have tough fixtures till the next international break, so I really want to drop Richarlison.

  7. onetowatch

    guys need help 2 ft 0.9itb

    Patricio button.
    alonso Robertson Mendy Bennett AWB
    HAZARD SALAH MADDISON FRASER BILLING
    aguero motrovic Wilson

    a) do nothing. and swap Fraser to richalisoj next week
    b) bennet fraser to Duffy perryra
    c) Patricio to ryan
    d) other

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      People are looking to get rid of Fraser and Rich.

      I like to look of B

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B

    3. Cheshire Duck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not convinced Richarlison (even on the left) will do anything against Brighton
      And why drop fraser, he's about to play two of the worst teams in the next 3 ?
      Patricio to Ryan could be worth it as wolves fixtures tend to be harder

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B for me too - but you could easily just do one ft. Pereya has an excellent fixture as you know.

  8. balint84
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    A) Kane to Vardy
    B) AWB to D.Luiz

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      B

  9. jacktaylor
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pat (Stek)
    Robbo Alonso Mendy (AWB Peltier)
    Haz Salah (c) Fraser B silva (Holjberg)
    Aguero Mitro Ings

    2 FT, 0.5m, sitting at 10k rank

    No ideas what to do? Bsilva has to go, to siggy? Maddison?

    Or just upgrade Peltier and roll the FT?

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Siggy is the only EVE option for me but even then he's not consistent enough so I'd go Maddison.

      Or Peltier to 4.4m? Balbuena?

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Bilva->Siggy
      Ings->King
      Peltier->Doherty.

    What are everyone’s thoughts on Lovren, Luiz/Rüdiger & Laporte as cheaper alternatives to Robertson, Alonso & Mendy?

    Can these guys match or be better value than the more expensive full backs?

    If you can’t afford all 3 which one would you sacrifice for the cheaper alternative?

    Personally I feel Laporte is the best cheaper alternative but then he’s only 0.5m cheaper than Mendy and I think that 0.5m extra spending is worth it given his attacking threat.

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I started the season with Bailly and Luiz and thought it would work. It doesn't. I now have a back 5 full of fairly nailed on attacking full backs from teams with clean sheet potential. I think this is still the best way to go.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed looking to shift to a 4 atb soon.

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      The real issue is what you do with the saved pennies and how you upgrade elsewhere. Given the lack of options at present, I wouldn't cheapen your D.
      Remember, RAM brings in returns at both ends and that is what you pay for.

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        100% agreed. RAM have a very big points potential.

    3. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Luiz/Rudiger is the
      Only one who could match. Assist/bonus returns of Mendy and Robertson have been continuous while Alonso hasn’t done anything for ages.

    4. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      My team have RAM + Doherty and thinking to replace Alonso with Luiz if Alonso lose his attacking threat. And will use the funds to replace Patricio with Alisson.

    5. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I'm tempted to go Lovren Gomez/TAA instead of Robbo WB

  12. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Too soon to bring in KdB (tot)?

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I still find it hard to consider KDB. I always find his price prohibitive for the returns he generates.

    2. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah give him a few weeks

  13. TheEgyptianKing
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    What transfers would you do with this team? 2 players who i'm a bit unsure about is Richarlison, TAA and possibly upgrading one of the 2 defencders now Wan Bissaka fixtures change

    Pat
    Trip / Alonso / TAA / Wan B
    Hazard / Salah / Richarlison
    Aguero / Arnie / Mitro

    2.5m in the bank, bring in madders for one of my 4.5m defenders?

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Both are playing away aren't they? From memory Brighton are stronger and Southampton weaker at home if that helps. I'm in a similar situation - see below.

  15. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    We probably won't hear more on Hazard and Vardy then right?

    Both touch and go?

    1. Fire Chief Moe
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looks that way, very fristrating.

    Benching headache this week...
    Need 2 from...

    A. Jimenez (bha)

    C. Kenedy (sou)
    D. Pereira (WHU)
    E. Richarlison (mun)
    F. Mendy (tot)

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Haha - need 2 actual players sadly. Will use the aspirin though.

    2. balint84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      i would bench D at first, there will be goals, after F and C - I predict Spurs will score at least 1 and C has limited gametime

  17. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    just saw someone a few posts up hint at a possible Alonso and hazard absence. Is there any credibility to these claims? Haven't been around for a few days.

    1. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard is a major doubt with his back injury, I haven’t heard anything about Alonso

      1. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        would a hazard to salah move be wise at this point.

    2. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Only if you have no value tied up in him and even then he still hasn’t been ruled out yet

  18. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Talk me through the merits of Pereya. Worth the punt over Mads/Richarlison?

    How influential is he for Watford?

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      gets a lot of chances but flatters to deceive. I'd steer clear.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        5 years, 6 months ago

        Ta

  19. RIDZ
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    which one better:
    a) Deeney to Success
    b) Walcott to Maddison
    c) save

    1. balint84
      • 8 Years

      c

  20. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Play Richarlison or Bennett?

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Taken but 2 weeks for Rich not to be a season keeper.
      Amazing question but Bennett purely based in Richa's inability to play with back to goal and he wanders out to the left wing anyway, unfortunately facing the wrong way.
      He is a troll in the making.

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      Rich

  21. balint84
    • 8 Years

    lot of people buy Arnautovic now, but the most predictions say Leicester will win over West Ham. So why not Vardy? What's wrong with him?

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He's spent the week on the toilet

    2. George Sillett

      Which predictions ?

    3. RIDZ

      flagged

    4. Jimmy Floyd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Arnies better value

  22. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    When are we going to dispel the myth of not captaining a defender?
    I think it worthy of podcast discussion.

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      it only takes a goal and you're ferked.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Fair enough, but a premium defender like Robbo Alonso Mendy Trippier will, when considered for captain, playing at home against a team outside the top 6. They get attack points 50% of the time, likely to get bonus and goals are 6 points.
        Take Kun last week. He scored whih was expected. scores more than 1 goal about 10% of the time. Look at the historical numbers and you will see a defender is viable. As was Mendy last week.

    2. Dacra

      What positions get the highest average points per game over a full season?

  23. Fpl Richie

    Come on then. What's this about Alonso?

    nice article! One question, as i'm just started looking at xg, xga etc - i'm late i know : aren't the fixtures a big part of this too ? GW 6-7 he played Fulham (xga 20.48) & arsenal (xga 12.04) & GW8-9 he played Leicester (xga 11.76) & crystal palace (xga 13.50). If you would compare his stats for GW8&9 vs GW1&2 - where combined xga of the opponents (25.25 vs 23.85) are alot closer - there isn't much difference imo. Or is this not how to apply this ? 🙂

  25. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Damn Vardy. He'd better play.

  26. Dacra
