Summer signings may be key to Everton’s FPL appeal

Our latest Numbers Game article focuses on Everton, who many Fantasy managers are backing in their droves ahead of some appealing fixtures in the first 13 Gameweeks of 2019/20.

The Toffees sit top our Season Ticker over this time, meeting only two of the ‘big six’ between now and the end of December.

Not one of their first six away fixtures is against a side that finished in the top half of the Premier League in 2018/19.

The Numbers Game series delves into the underlying attacking and defensive statistics of last season and is only available for Members to read.

    CFC is big enigma...but what do you think about Abraham status in team?? Can he be the first striker?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wait and see.

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks like it’s between him and Michy but neither are setting the world alight atm. I’d expect Tammy to start GW1, he seems to suit the system better

  2. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Fabianski and Laporte, or Ederson and KWP and use £0.5 to upgrade Lundstram?

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Fabianski option

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That’s my current set up.

        Whwt is your complete defence?

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Fabianski, Button
          TAA, Digne, Laporte, Holebas, Lundstram

          1. - Z -
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            How about TAA, Coleman, Walker and with exta 1M you can upgrade Holebas or Fabianski (Watford is not good def option)
            Lumdstaram is great bench option

            1. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I like Holebas. Gets yellows but will get assists and nice fixtures.

              I also want Digne over Coleman.

              Also would rather pay the extra £0.5 for Laporte than Walker.

              Not into rotating keepers so just want a set and forget at that position. Fabs looks best sub £5.5 option.

      out of the loop here, is KWP nailed now? Or is it just for the first couple GW

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Looks like Foyth has got an ankle injury so he has no natural threat at RB now.

        1. Manani
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          how about Aurier?

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yeah, injured hand at the moment.

  3. QUEN
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So I have been tossing and turning for the past month trying to do my team. This is where I’m at now. All opinions welcome

    Ederson
    VD TAA Digne dunk
    Salah Barkley KDB
    King Aguero jota

    Button Hayden dendoncker Rico

    Plan to get son for KDB when his back

  4. Manani
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    used to have siggy in every team 2 weeks ago, is he falling out of favour here?

    1. - Z -
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Same here....He is still in my team, but i think that i ll gonna kick him. Still hoping that Zaha can join Everton. Or i ll jute take Kean if he is 7M

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Looks that way, Everton not scoring much in pre-season and lots of interesting mids in the 6-7.5 bracket instead

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        like who though? Leicester fixture is less than ideal, chelsea mid is a bit of uncertaint, Fraser looks good but already ahve him

    3. Hobolicious
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Probably back in most RMTs if he gets a brace against Werder Bremen on Saturday.

      Having said that Everton have not looked impressive going forward in PS. Richarlison coming back will obviously help, and hopefully the signing of Kean will further improve them.

      The issue with Sigurdsson is that he is the type of player you have to keep for the whole season as his points are so hard to predict. They can often come against the better teams.

    I’m sick of the button bashing.

    Alisson

    TAA Walker KWP

    Sterling Barkley Siggy Perez

    Firmino Wilson Jota

    Subs. Etc

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I would be pretty uncomfortable not owning Salah

    2. - Z -
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I took Salah before Sterling...last season was so bad for me coz i took Firmino over him. And i am not sure about KWP....Poketino loves to rotate

    3. FredrikH
      • 11 Years

      Expensive bench or saving up 3M?

        Evening Doos. Totally sick of myself now. It’s every time I break for a poo at work, the gf reads her book, or fifa gets boring. I’m on FPL, tap tapping. I love it. But I also hate it.

        That GW1 nerve.

        It’s like crack man.

            On the plus side, I am halfway through my ticker, so I am 7 GWs and one real week ahead of last Season, So I reckon I'll have it done, which may be a relief to G-Whizz! 😉

    Looking at Defender depth...anyone feel strongly about this choice:

    A. LaPorte & 5.0 (Zouma, Walker-Peters, etc)
    versus
    B. Zinch & 6.0 (Digne, Dave, etc)

    Cheers! Good luck to all of you, mates.

      I rly need to see complete defence

    2. EMBOLOFAN

      zinch and walker sounds good

    3. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

      A

  7. Angelic upstart

    Walker
    Haller
    Greenwood
    Or
    Laporte

      1. Angelic upstart
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Heaton
        Taylor, digne, robbo & lundstrom.
        Planning on 3-5-2

  8. EMBOLOFAN

    4 years, 8 months ago

    pleased to see the barkley bandwagon is still going

    1. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Here's some further cheap-CHE-flatter-to-deceive bandwagons down memory lane:

      Salah, KDB, Ramires, Schurrle, Marko Marin, Cuadrado

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        all legends

    2. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lunacy to consider Barkley imo

  9. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 8 Years

    What was everyone’s overall rank last season?

    1. FredrikH
      • 11 Years

      20k. you?

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        85K- not a disaster but equally not great

    7. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      8k. Fluctuated between 25k and 50 OR since GW1

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        What game plan did you use? Did you take a lot of hits?

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Getting a good start with popular players like Robbo, Mendy, Richarlison etc. Didn’t have a set game plan but I took a lot of risks like selling Salah for differentials to try and get a push for the very top which ultimately cost me a top 1k+ rank. Made about 45-50 transfers I reckon so took a decent amount of hits

    8. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      8k 🙂

      3rd top10K finish over the last 4 seasons I’ve played properly 🙂

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Wow! What’s your game plan? Gut feeling or stats? Form or fixtures?

        1. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Defenders definitely fixtures for me, Attackers is a mix of form and fixtures. Can’t get a player with no form whatsoever who has great fixtures.

      2. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        2. Puyol Pants Up
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Well, there was a season in where I moved to a new country for 3 months and stopped FPL around GW 30 with all my chips still to play, I was around 30k at the time and definitely could have pushed for the top 10k....

          I missed out on the Gabidanni drama! Read a lot about it when I got back into FPL 😛

    11. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    15. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      80k ish. Disappointed but looking back I made a lot of dumb mistakes so its deserved not to get any higher

    16. Poseidon.
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      10k - pretty much the norm for me

  10. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Latest draft, might be a bit silly to go without a 7 million Liverpool DEF.

    Heaton
    VVD, Zinchenko, Coleman.
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Tielemans, Barkley.
    Wilson, Deulofeu

    Button, Taylor, Lundstram, Greenwood.

    1. - Z -
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Barkley is bad option.
      Sterling or KDB is more then enough with Salah
      You need Robb or TAA, and Zinch is risky choice for 5.5 defender.

  11. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Please can I have your thoughts? First time posting this season.

    Ryan
    Robbo, Digne, Cathcart, Zinchenko
    Mo, Sterling, Fraser, Perez
    Wilson, Vardy

    Button, Lundstram, Hayden, Greenwood.
    0 in the bank & Cathcart is dog sh1t! Any ideas to change him? Zin is also a risk

    1. - Z -
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Like it...just mby Digne into Coleman so you can upgrade Zich into Walker (he is not nailed and its to riaky for defender that cost 5.5)

      1. myteamissheeeeeeeet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers dude good advice! I’ll look at that now

    2. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Almost identical to mine before I brought Kane into the fold about an hour or two ago. I like it and think Vardy and Wilson will do well.

      1. myteamissheeeeeeeet
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers pal, might leave Cathcart for now. Want Kane but the whole dynamics of the squad change!

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          One thing I would say is, you may want to re-think having 2 Leicester and 2 B'mouth. Yes, it is difficult as I have two 4m defenders, a 4.5m striker and 4.5m mid so I have to play one every week.

  12. bryant
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Who’s replacing brooks in the BOU XI? Ibe?

  13. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Best 6.5m or below striker? I am on Wood at the moment but it doesn't feel right to start the season with him (despite a great pre-season). I know a few people here are on King but I think he is a trap. Wilson will take the limelight and I don't think his possible pens will make up for the lack of open play goals that I am predicting for him.

        4 years, 8 months ago

        If I could afford Wilson, I'd snap him up. Ings will be injured in the first 2-3

      I'm going with Deulofeu purely based on his 4 games but I can easily be persuaded to go with Wood to be honest.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I had Deu when I first signed up but sold him. Not convinced. I wish Chelsea strikers were 0.5 cheaper. Even then, it would be a gamble about which starts

    4. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      jota, but may want to wait till he gets past the hard early fixtures

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Wolves do well against the top 6. It is the EL that puts me off

    5. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      have Jota, but fixture is not good

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        The fixtures don't bother me as they always do well against the top teams. The offputting factor is the EL for me

    6. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wood is the man

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Looks that way...... grim times

    7. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney then swap to Woods in gw6 seems a decent strategy

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Is Deeney nailed?

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I think so. On penalties too. I think Deulofeu and Gray are fighting for the other spot

  14. 1justlookin

      Steer clear of Chelsea defenders til Kante is back

      1. CostaCoffee

        So GW1?

    4. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Probably? Hard to say because the Luiz - Zouma pairing looked dodgy for the second game running, but Christensen had a poor 10 or so minutes at the end.

      Even if he does, do you really want him? United and Leicester next two games, with Rudiger starting training with the team next week, plus the defence looks beyond dodgy.

      I'm good.

  16. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Barkley making me change the whole tactical thinking of my team. Instead of the popular 4-4-2 it’s now a 4-5-1 in GW1 switching to 3-5-2 in GW2

    Pope (Heaton)
    Laporte Trent VvD Taylor (Rico)
    Sterling Salah Siggy Perez Barkley
    King (Wesley Greenwood)

    0.5 itb *Taylor becomes Wesley in GW2*

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Stay away from Barkley fella

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He’s looking like a top quality player at the moment. I know it’s pre season but he’s getting better every game. Even without looking at the goals/assists he’s been looking way more confident and showing serious quality I haven’t seen from him in a Chelsea kit

        1. Chazz69
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Fair enough. I've never rated him and he's prone to injuries. If I was to pick any Chelsea player based on the friendlies is Pulisic. 1.5 M more expensive but I'm really impressed with him

  17. Kloppcorn

    • 9 Years

    What do you guys reckon
    A) De Bruyne, Jota, King
    B) Aubameyang, Ings, McGinn

    1. Kloppcorn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Could do rotation with McGinn and Taylor for starting 11

      Probs B as I don’t rate Lacazette or zaha as picks, maybe if you got Firmino and a different 7.0

  19. ViperStripes

    Pick 2, any combo.

    1. FlyingWithoutIngs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Digne zinchenko

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Digne and Zink if you have a backup bench player (even Dendocker if playing 4atb)

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        how likely is Zink going to play (looking beyong say first 5 GWs)

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          He is vulnerable to rotation and City do have Angelino and Mendy as competition but he could be a value option.

    I accept there’s a few transfers waiting to happen but I like this squad.

    Ryan | Button
    Robbo TAA Coleman Zinchenko Kyle Walker Peters
    Salah Sterling Trossard | dendonker hayden
    Kane Wood | Greenwood

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Don't like defence heavy personally with 3rd mid gamble though could be good and Hayden is not good enough for 4th mid. Also what happens if Greenwood not nailed?

      1. FlyingWithoutIngs
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I’m still not sold on Harry Kane, I could do Kane to wilson and upgrade a trossard to Perez and Hayden to siggy?

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Hmm you can't have expensive defence + Salah + Sterling + Kane I think. I never go for expensive defences

          1. FlyingWithoutIngs
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            The times are changing man, join us with the expensive defences xD

  22. Whazza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    All set now, until the next bandwagon appears anyway..

    Leno (don't laugh)
    TAA Robbo Digne Zinchenko
    Salah Sterling Perez Barkley
    Vardy King

    4 pen takers and only one player outside the top 8 teams. You know the bench 🙂 B-DGL

    1. FlyingWithoutIngs
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You could do zinchenko and Leno to ederson and Calum chambers (can become any other 4.5 if they appear or arsenal are still crap at defending)

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'm not sure Chambers is nailed on for long, well neither is Zinchenko I guess. Thanks

        1. FlyingWithoutIngs
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I was thinking the same thing so I checked pre season and chambers has only missed one game, also it seems arsenal fans rate him highly especially with mustafi likely going to Monaco, keep your eyes peeled I’d say that combo isn’t more nailed than the one you have atm

          1. Whazza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

            Interesting, will do!

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Started with King last season. Never again. 3 away goals

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He averages 12 goals the last three seasons. Not that I'd keep him that long, someone better will emerge after his two nice fixtures I guess. Feel like I need BOU cover to start with

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I'm putting money on Villa 3-0 I'm not sure if I should make it more goals

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Top 8 this season hasn't been decided. You're cutting your nose off to spite your face. You would've had no Wolves last season with that attitude

      1. Poseidon.
        • 5 Years

        Out of interest have you been to the Midlands? - just I’m assuming you’re at least now based in New Zealand

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yes. I've been to Villa Park. I support Villa because Ireland in 94 World Cup had 4 Villa players. My Dad is Irish and lived in Dublin for 12 years

    Man city could sign finally sign Cancelo. Would that make Walker a back up RB at £50mil?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      He proved his worth Walker, his time is up if they want to challenge for UCL

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I thought the deal was Canceloed

  24. ryacoo

      A

      A

  25. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    For first two GWs:
    A) Digne + Bilva + Origi
    B) VVD + Sane + Wood/Pukki

    1. Udo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Watch Sane, they're still talking to get him in, in Munich.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If it’s not same it would be KDB, or Pepe when added

        1. Udo
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          In that case B, because Origi most unlikely to start in both in my opinion. Plus Bilva might be rotated just as well if things go wrong.

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I feel that the final piece of my jigsaw is picking 2 midfielders for a combined 13 million.

    The best combo I can come up with is Perez & Tielemans.

    Am i wrong?

    1. Chazz69
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nice

    2. Ask Yourself

      I suppose

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn’t want a Leicester double up with their fixtures. Pick one and pair with somebody else imo

    4. Udo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You could gamble on Fraser & Robertson, but I like the one you have better.

      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Newcastle 2011. Another year, another month of disarray and at home to Arsenal for the opener.

      0-0

      Probably completely irrelevant, just like going down memory lane....

      1. Ask Yourself

      Arsenal away at fortress St James vs Bruceball. Don't think so

  29. Ser Davos
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Just remembered, it's former Luton RB Stacey that's set to play... literally scratching at the walls for Rico, particularly now Brooks is out so that puts pay to wanting a Frason Brooks triple up

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Straight from league 1 into PL and forcing Smith out of favoured position when they only have 2 RBs. Wouldn’t think they’d want to risk playing them both at once with their injuries. Rico’s place to lose

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        That's the spirit! He's tailor made as our third Cherry with two reasonable openers for a side that obtained 10 clean sheets last season. Kelly's in until Tomkins returns and Lundstram definitely won't play every game. All aboard!

        1. 1justlookin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          How do you know Lundstrom wont play every week, does he not have as much of a chance as Rico?

  30. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Mates, currently with this setup, with 0.5 itb to upgrade a mid if needed after 1 or 2 GWs:

    Ryan
    Coleman, TAA, Robertson
    Robinson, Salah, KDB, Sterling, Perez
    King, Deulofeu
