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.

              I think I last updated it 2 week ago! Long overdue.

              Shoddy editing...

    What does the Brighton win mean for upcoming GW’s?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      32 Chelsea, 35 Spurs, Cardiff in a midweek most likely.

    2. Pras (FPL)

  3. Chirsbom

    Why is it that whenever I watch an Everton match I think "Yeah, this is boring...".

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Boring club

      1. Marvin.

        You misspelled sh*te.

      THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  4. diesel001

    Poor result. Would rather Aguero and Sterling aren't given reduced minutes because City have a tough FA Cup tie than Brighton have an extra DGW.

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Aguero and sterling are so vital to city that they should both start every league game now (even if they come off at 60 mins)?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        90 mins in all PL games better than 60 mins in PL games and 60 mins in FA Cup semi.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 21 days ago

      Didn’t look much to split Brighton and Milwall today

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 21 days ago

        Millwall at home today. Different story at Wembley.

                • 11 Years
                7 years, 21 days ago

          7 years, 21 days ago

          So I triple capped Salah today - I have NEVER once got a single return from a TC haha. Guess it's just not for me!

          1. Marvin.
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Let it out of the bag early in GW1 next year? I never know when to use it either.

          2. Chirsbom
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 21 days ago

            Use it in a conformed DGW. On a in form player. Ups your odds at getting a return 😉

          Random Salah bashing note

          Salah was never appearing in https://www.anewpla.net/fpl/live/bps.php?fixture=305&gw=31&showall=yes because there was a bug that wouldn't show the lowest BPS player.

          He never rose above the bottom BPS player from at least half time onwards...

          Bug has been fixed so you can marvel in how exactly he managed -11 BPS

            Must be a record low for a non-carded non-own goalscoring player?

          My transfers this week (-8):
          Fraser
          Wilson
          Hazard

          Just know Haz will blank.

              Worst thing is; just doing the sideways move of Salah > Mané for free instead, would have made a massive difference.
