The last of five Gameweek 31 fixtures takes place on Merseyside this afternoon.

Chelsea are the visitors to Goodison Park, where Everton have only won one of their last eight league fixtures.

Gonzalo Higuain is fit to lead the line for Chelsea, having missed the win over Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday due to illness.

Higuain lines up in a front three alongside Pedro and Eden Hazard, who is the third-most-popular Gameweek 31 captaincy choice among “active” Fantasy assets.

Marcos Alonso returns at left-back at the expense of Emerson Palmieri, while Ross Barkley starts in place of Mateo Kovacic in midfield.

Seamus Coleman returns to the Everton side as Jonjoe Kenny drops out of the match-day squad.

Yerry Mina makes his first Premier League start of 2019 in place of the ineligible Kurt Zouma, while Jordan Pickford keeps his place between the sticks.

The Toffees are otherwise unchanged, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line ahead of an attacking midfield three of Richarlison, Bernard and Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Gueye, Gomes, Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Arrizabalaga, Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, David Luiz, Alonso, Kanté, Jorginho, Barkley, Pedro, Higuaín, Hazard.

      Thanks guys.

      Stuck with the troll for one last dance.

  17. zzmarko

    If I activate my free hit now, can I keep changing my team until next deadline as long as I remain within my budget?
    I think I can but just double checking.

    1. 5os
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, you can keep making unlimited transfers. Just be careful with team value. If you take out a player that you've gained value on, you'll lose that value if you take them out and bring them back in again.

      1. zzmarko
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thought so....cheers!

        Is that right? I thought your team reverted to exactly what it was before? I take it then, for example if I take Salah out bought for 12.8, selling value 13.1, but bring him back in whilst FH in force, I will lose the value, but if I leave him out, I won't?

        1. 5os
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, your team reverts back exactly the way it was and any players in your original squad will be affected by price rises/loses.

          What I meant is losing value on players you'd like to have in your FH team. For example, I have Doherty in my team with a selling value of 5.0. If I take him out while tinkering with my FH team and bring him back in, I will have to pay 0.4 more. At the end of the week though he'll revert back to a 5.0 selling value.

            Ah cool, thanks for taking the time to clarify that.. Whilst you are there then, I believe Salah may drop tonight or soon, so if I get rid now on a FH, I would get 13.1 to spend, whereas if I wait I will get 13.0. Only .1 but that can make a difference..But I need to be sure its the right decision, as if I get him back, I will have to pay 13.3, likely.. I get it now thanks..
            I'm thinking of ditching Pool players for 1 week and getting doubles in anyhow..

            1. 5os
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              I'm ditching Salah as well on a FH. Not on form, has Spurs next and that money is surely better spent on DGW players. Selling tonight would make sense to have that extra 0.1 to spend.

                • 14 Years

                Agreed n got it now cheers!

    Barkley not particularly popular at Goodison

  19. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Should have opted for Mane (C) over Salah.

    How many of you had both but opted for Salah?
