Everton’s popular attacking assets have underwhelmed Fantasy Premier League managers so far this season.

After two matches, they have scored just once, only Crystal Palace finding the net fewer times than the Toffees at this stage.

Perhaps we should not be too surprised to see Marco Silva’s men struggle in front of goal at this stage.

During their pre-season campaign, they scored just three goals in seven matches, with Richarlison (£8.0m) the only key figure missing for most of it.

One was registered against Kenyan side Kariobangi Sharks, while Monaco and Mainz were the only other teams to concede against Everton.

The Toffees drew blanks in four of their summer friendlies, against FC Sion, Wigan Athletic, Sevilla and Werder Bremen.

Of those who found the back of the net, Joe Williams and Lewis Gibson are not first-team regulars, the former now a permanent Wigan player, while Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) is the only summer goal-scorer to have played in either Premier League match so far this season.

Accordingly, ahead of a Gameweek 3 trip to Aston Villa, Fantasy managers might be looking to move on their Everton attackers.

We have assessed the underlying statistics from their first two matches of the campaign to find out if the Toffees have simply been unlucky not to score more often, or if there are some tangible reasons for concern.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

    Asked on previous page, anyone considering double EVE defence?

    Really considering going for digne/mina/vvd over digne/vvd/awb , the full merseyside defence..

      See hot topic

    2. Maddamotha

      7 years, 1 month ago

      After Villa its Wolves and Bournemouth, so no.

  2. barton fc

    I got Barnes atm, but the next two fixtures arent great, think he is best option long term tho

    1. TheBrazilianRonaldo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He always looks horrific. Just scores in patches then goes cold

      1. danlynch13
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hasn’t he been one of the top performers in 2019?

  3. Warbling Wendy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Laporte, Digne, A-Arnold, Jota

    KWP, Coleman, Soyuncu, Kane

    The difference between having Kane and downgrading for Jota or someone else at that price is outrageous. Yet why do I still have Kane in my team, even when I wont ever be captaining him ?

    1. Moore FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't have Kane if I wasn't gonna captain him
      Most I'd go to is KDB price

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wowsers that's some difference all for the sake of Kane. I could understand if he was Messi-like, but for a player you don't intend on capping or trusting, it's a no brainer not to include him.

    3. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I only want him for Newcastle. Thats it.

  4. Moore FPL
    • 12 Years

    A) Barnes & N'Dombele

    Pick one please:

    A) Trossard + Barnes + 1.2
    B) Ceballos + Wilson + 0.2

    3. the vanisher

    Repost from the bottom of the page.

    Final WC decision guys. A little input thanks

    A) Walker Peters & Cantwell (442, Cantwell benched most games, Walker Peters playing most but rotated with Soyuncu next GW)

    B) Lundstram & Ceballos (352)

    1. Moore FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Essentially it's Walker Peters vs Ceballos.

  7. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Cant decide:
    Auba -> Kane (cap Kane)
    Or
    King -> Pukki (cap Raheem)

    Both would be FT.

    Thanks a lot

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Auba to Kane..

    2. the vanisher
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kane

  8. Dr. Rog
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A) Son + TAA
    B) Kane + Mount

    1. BlzE_94
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A by a mile.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Actually like both options there, but i'd prefer A, only just though, as i favour Son over Kane

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Easily B

    5. popcoin
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      interesting...

      Pope (Button)
      TAA Digne AwB Otamendi (Lund)
      Sterling© Kdb Son Martial (Donkey)
      Bobby Pukki (Wickham)

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        KANE!

      2. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This is a bloody great team. But unless Son hits last seasons hot stream, it'll be Sterling (C) every week.

      3. CornerTakenQuicklyOrigi
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This is one of my three options for my wildcard. Although is Otamendi close to nailed at all? I'd go for Zinch, or Boly and the extra cash.

    7. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B all day

  9. Lone Wolf FPL

    How do you like this power mid WC team? Worth hitting WC? (7 changes)

    Pope, Button
    Shaw, Zinchenko, Montoya, Lundstram, Kelly
    Sterling, KDB, Mane, Son, Martial
    Pukki, Jota, Greenwood

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me. Sacrificing one attacker and one or two defenders.

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Quite similar to my non-wc team (King, Dendoncker, VVD over Greenwood, Son, Shaw)
      Not sure if that's a good omen for you

    3. Moore FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer AWB over Shaw

  10. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    There is no chance Pukki will rise tonight, is there?

    1. Bram
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      54% so pretty much no.

    2. popcoin
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      doubt it

  11. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Time to WC?

    Ederson button
    Robbo Digne AWB KWP Guilbert **
    Salah Sterling Martial Moura Dendonc
    Pukki Deeney ** Greenwood*

    Took a -4 already
    0.0 itb
    O fts
    Crap team basically

    1. DVassell
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why didn’t you wc earlier!!??

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cos unfortunately I have been busy
        What more can I say.
        Also Deeney was not an issue before.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Beginning of week is time to WC not 1 price change before new game week imo

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Two games played WC frenzy, what happens if Salah, Kane, Trent & Robbo go mental this W/E?

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        My issue is not Salah.
        Its Guilbert Deeney Greenwood.

    4. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This is my exact team except I have taa/diop/perez in place of robbo/Gilbert/moura

      0ft and 1.4 itb, thinking of holding tonight, and maybe take a -4 after deadline.to bring in kdb and sort out deeney

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Your lucky to have ££ in the bank but unfortunately I have zip.
        Not many if any options at 6.4.

    5. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No WC surely

      As Kiwi points out you’re wasting the chance to make money.

      Decent overall squad actually. I’m counting about 7 players who are WC template. Villa defender isn’t urgent and Deeney can be fixed next time. Very reasonable 4-5-1 there this week

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate.
        Will possibly just take another hit next week.

  12. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Really want to get in kdb, am thinking of moving perez out.
    Also have deeney I need to shift now as well.

    Does this look awful?
    Perez & deeney
    To kdb & wickham(or any 4.5)

    Would mean playing 4-5-1 or 5-4-1 every week till I wc, with either diop or dendoncker starting.

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I can do these moves now for -8, or wait and take a -4 after deadline tomorrow

      1. DVassell
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t do a -8 effectively for KDB (seeing as a Wickham is bench fodder)

        Just play Perez and bite the bullet this gw

        1. jason_ni
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          This is sound advice.
          How does it look as an option going forward rotate 4-5-1 5-4-1 with pukki up top.
          Have wc in reserve if it fails!

  13. jimmyabs1987
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    Due to the Gray price drop and me getting some team value from Pukki I can do this on WC. It gives me arguably the strongest midfield I have ever had with 2 playing forwards and all my bench being options.

    Pope

    Zinchenko, Digne, Montoya (Pieters, Lund)
    Sterling, Mane, Martial, KDB, Son
    Pukki, Gray (Greenwood)

    I know it’s a bit left field but with rotating on fixtures I think I can get a decent 11 out each week

    Thoughts?

    1. DVassell
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t like Gray and not sure whether Son will slot straight back in.

      I’d rather get Mount/Troussard/Ceballos and upgrade Gray to Rashford

  14. DVassell
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sir Kelly or Sir Hanley as 4.0 defensive bench fodder?

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hanley

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hanley more of a regular isn't he? Kelly soon to be displaced and probably never feature.

      1. DVassell
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh he’s their captain- didn’t feature much in championship last year due to injury.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Wow i didn't even know he was their captain surprised he hasn't been mentioned more as a viable 4.m defender at that status then and price

          1. DVassell
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Because Norwich defence are meh

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              yeah true, but still, a playing 4.0 m 🙂

      A

      Based only on not wanting defensive transfers in the pipeline. Might prefer Walker who’s looking good and is a handy price point for Mendy! (Defensive transfer)

      O.5 itb would also be very handy now prices are flying

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        CheersPing, i do agree totally, and i actually really would like Walker, just all the talk of Cancelo ousting him swayed me from him. Suppose Zinc could easily turn into maitland-Niles when the time comes?

    5. DVassell
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B for sure

    6. Salah’s Sonnet

  19. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I have Mina in the team but fear Digne... what to do?

    A) Keep Mina
    B) Digne over Mount and have both Everton
    C) Downgrade Salah to Mane to upgrade Mina to Digne

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      On WC btw

      1. Moore FPL
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        On a WC I'd take Mane over Salah atm

    2. DVassell
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C)

    3. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would definitely want Digne. But I do like Mount as a punt. You're on WC right, so C it is for me.

    4. cuppatea78

    Best 4m defender that's not Lund?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      None honestly. There is Hanley, and Kelly, who isn't necessarily nailed when the likes of Sakho are back.

    2. DVassell

      Hanley is nailed/ team captain

      1. Flaming Flamingo
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He's not nailed at all.

          What makes you say that if he's their captain?

            Club captain. Doesn’t have to be nailed

    Is a liverpool attacker essential?

    1. popcoin
      • 14 Years

      not essential, but very highly advised in my opinion. If you haven't got one, Mane over Salah without a shadow of a doubt

  25. popcoin

    Thanks in advance ladies and gents;

    A) KdB, Salah, Pukki

    B) Mount, Mane, Kane (-4 hit)

    Am I wrong to want to ship VVD over Robertson?

    Just feel that Robertson has more points in him but, people with both seem to be favouring getting rid of him over VVD.

    Why?

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      VVD is cheaper with more goal threat. And TAA being on set pieces means he’s the most popular full back

      1. Pea Soup
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Robertson isn’t on any set pieces?

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      To save the 0.5 difference

    3. ZeBestee
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I will ship VvD over Robbo. Robbo is soon going to up his attacking threat as Mane is fully back now.

    4. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If I had both I'd do the same. I feel Robertson will assist more than twice the amount VVD will score.

    5. Moore FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If they were equal price, I'd take Robbo but with the price difference it's a tricky choice.
      Depends what u can do with the 0.5.

    6. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      There is a theory that VAR gives VVD an edge because he can't be blatantly pulled down when attacking set pieces. For the saving I could see the case.

    7. the vanisher
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I kept Rob, and ditched VvD for AwB

    1. popcoin

      I'd bet against it

    Is it worth getting Pukki in over Barnes?

    A) Wilson + Barkley ---> Martial + Barnes (2FT)

    B) Wilson + Barkley + Pérez ---> Martial + Pukki + Mount (-4)

    1. Moore FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B.
      My plan atm is
      Fraser + Perez + Wilson -> KDB + McGinn + Pukki

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks! That looks good - would love to fit KDB in myself but that'll take another 2 weeks probably!

        1. benbro
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Is KDB actually outperforming expectations?

          Any gw3 move to bring KDB in just seems like you’re doubting your start of season team to me.

          Same to be said of bringing in Kane. You can’t have them all and presumably settled for no KDB in order to distribute funds equally elsewhere.

          I’m really interested by these wildcard teams that put in the premiums that are firing (after 2 weeks) but allow no flexibility if a mid range option presents themselves as essential in another couple of weeks time.

          1. Stupendous
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            If a mid range option starts firing then we sell KDB and have money to spare.

            Don't see your argument mate.

            KDB looks solid, healthy and a real threat in anything city do going forward.

    Wolves looked good and their strikers still good value but bit worrying they can be Agueroed off because of fixture pile up.

  30. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A) Digne and KWP
    B) Coleman and Shaw

    Can't afford Mina and AWB or that would be my preferred choice
