Chelsea assets blank as new Everton tactics pay dividends

Everton 3-1 Chelsea

  • Goals: Richarlison (£7.8m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) x2 | Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m)
  • Assists: Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m), Tom Davies (£5.3m)
  • Bonus: Calvert-Lewin x3, Kovacic x2, Sidibe x1

Tammy Abraham (£7.9m), Mason Mount (£6.6m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.5m) all drew blanks in Gameweek 16, much to the frustration of their respective owners.

Having conceded 10 goals in the last three Gameweeks, Everton appeared to there for the taking but Duncan Ferguson’s introduction on the touchline, and his use of a 4-4-2 formation saw a totally different Toffees side in action against Chelsea.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) was the chief beneficiary from the change in system as he bagged a scrappy brace to ensure three points for the Toffees after Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) had matched Richarlison‘s (£7.8m) opener.

On the two-goal striker, Ferguson exclaimed:

I love Dominic [Calvert-Lewin]. I think he’s a very good player.

Richarlison modelled his opening goal on Duncan Ferguson’s trademark style

Richarlison scored the first goal of Ferguson’s interim reign with a header that the ex-Everton frontman would have been proud of. That was the Brazilian’s third goal in as many Premier League games.

Playing alongside Calvert-Lewin in an old-school two-man strike-force set-up, Richarlison nodded home from a Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) cross after Everton played the ball wide having won it from Chelsea in midfield.

Ferguson and his backroom staff had planned on getting at Frank Lampard’s men down their left-hand side, as he explained:

We talked in the analysts’ meeting about the wee bit of space we could get down that side [for the first goal].

Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison worked well together as a strike partnership

It was blood-and-thunder stuff from the Toffees in the opening 25 minutes, with Chelsea failing to test Jordan Pickford (£5.4m) as Everton’s pressure on the ball told.

Theo Walcott (£6.2m) almost found Richarlison with a low cross in the 11th minute, while Calvert-Lewin shot straight at Kepa (£5.5m) after a pass from the ex-Arsenal man.

Michael Keane (£5.3m) was fortunate that Chelsea didn’t punish his giveaway near the Everton area after 18 minutes as a heavy touch from Willian (£7.1m) blew the opportunity.

As the half wore on, Ferguson’s men grew slightly wearier as Chelsea came close to scoring a number of times. Abraham was just off connecting with a Mount cross from the left on 32 minutes and did not get enough contact on a Willian ball from the other side just before that.

Chelsea’ no. 9 was second only to Calvert-Lewin for expected goal involvement (xGI) in GW16’s early kick-off.

Reece James continues to get more league starts while Tomori has now been benched in each of the last two matches

The Toffees once more burst out of the traps after half time, with Calvert-Lewin doubling their lead having outmuscled Andreas Christensen (£4.9m) on the edge of the Chelsea box.

Richarlison then drove an attempt inside the box straight at Kepa before a Chelsea attack at the other end saw the Blues pull a goal back.

A cross from Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.8m) – operating at left-back – was cleared by Lucas Digne (£5.8m) into the path of Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m), who found the corner of Pickford’s net with a fantastic volley.

In the 59th minute, Walcott – as appeared to be the habit of Everton attackers – fired a shot at Kepa from an acute angle inside the box.

Azpilicueta was again Chelsea’s creator in the 79th minute, teeing up a Mount volley which was blocked by his namesake Mason Holgate (£4.4m). Pickford then saved a follow-up effort from the Spanish full-back.

Calvert-Lewin wrapped up three points for Everton in the 85th minute after a poor mistake from Kepa. The Chelsea keeper passed the ball straight to Walcott, who found DCL in the area.

His backheel gave Tom Davies (£5.3m) the chance to score but N’Golo Kante‘s (£5.0m) defensive efforts saw the ball spill to Calvert-Lewin, who made no mistake from close range.

Pulisic’s blank against Everton was his third in a row

Pulisic had a late opportunity to reduce the arrears but his header inside the area was easily saved by England no. 1 Pickford.

Ferguson added on his players:

They were a credit to the football club. A reaction we were looking for.

For his part, Lampard was not impressed with how Chelsea conceded. Asked if Everton’s goals were a case of sloppiness from his team, the Blues boss responded:

Yeah. The first goal, we’re aware that Richarlison is good in the air. The other two were just really poor defending from us. We looked like we were getting back into the game at 2-1, we can’t give away [those] ridiculous goals.

Everton XI (4-4-2): Pickford; Digne, Keane, Holgate, Sidibe; Iwobi, Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Walcott. ; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, James; Kovacic, Kante; Pulisic, Mount, Willian; Abraham.

    I imagine there are a lot of Vardy (c) today then. Also plenty Mane (c) Vardy (vc). Wouldn’t mind a Vardy blank if im honest, a haul would see non cappers plummet down the ranks

    1. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Had Son as captain but Vardy scares me. I have him but still wouldn't mind a 1 pointer from him

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Same i capped son. Only moved up by 15K yesterday i was expecting more. Could even end up with a red arrow today. Have 2x Sheffield Utd defenders so want a cleanie.

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Absolutely!

      I capped Alli. So need Vardy to stay quiet to keep my arrow green!

      1. Amey

        Boooooooooo

        1. Don Kloppeone
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Too many people being boring and capping Vardy every week 😉

          Shouldn’t be allowed for him to haul every time

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Ha ha
            I'm going with Mane in gw 17.

            1. Don Kloppeone
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Tbh I’m torn between Mané and Vardy. Both good fixtures and form.

              1. Amey
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Yes
                I'm bored with Vardy © now

    3. Hiddenpaw

      Thought you wanted a 6 on the last page haha! I was a blank. Going to be about 200% EO now. Scary.

      1. Hiddenpaw

        Sorry wasn’t you. Oops

      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Need a vardy blank - non captain owner but my ml rivals have him as cap.

      Would love a Lundy and Jimmy haul today though

    5. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same. Captained son, so a Vardy blank would be fine for OR and ML

    6. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A goal or assist w/o bps will be OK. But I would like him to blank now, so that he can start new goal-bonanza series next week vs Nor 😀

    7. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Been in Vardy 8.9 for weeks will stay till party stops.
      All the posts first half of every game saying C fail. Vardy has not scored first half since owning him.

  2. theodosios
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking little bit ahead, I don't see as many Liverpool's CSs from GW18 to GW25. So plan was to ditch VVD. Which defender would you like to have in those 8 GWs if money isn't a problem? Rest of defense: Aurier, Soy, Lund and Lowton

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      5mins

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Get 2 of Jetro Willems, Guilbert/Targett, Kelly and things will be fine

      1. theodosios
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks mate, will definitely consider Targett as a differential

  3. Hiddenpaw
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I would love to see Duncan Ferguson get the job. He was wild yesterday such entertainment. Just like his career!

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Have to hand it to him, he is a passionate Toffee. Loved by the fans, he would definitely give it his all.

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Passion is fantastic but that’s not what Everton needs moving forward, just as we don’t need Big Sam. They are the types of coaches to save us from relegation. We need a tactical and qualified manager to take the club to the next level

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Everton never have, and never will move to the next level. No gaffer will be taking them into the top 4.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          You don’t know much about the history of the club if you think that’s the case

      2. Hiddenpaw
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I agree with this but h tv e tactics were excellent yesterday. Passion + tactics might be better than anything they have had for a while. I know how it ends with Dunc though ... a headbutt on the touch line and a 7 game ban.

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Poch 😉

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That passion will go away of and when they lose couple of games.

      1. Magic Zico

        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ole?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      got subbed so maybe injury recurred

  6. Pdrpro
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    A) Son and Ings
    Or
    B) Alli and Abraham

    Kelly/Rash/Tammy (-4)

    Tomorrow I wont....

    1. zdrojo187

      Do it

    2. pls
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd probably wait and see. Tomori to kelly is good but i'd hold fire on ings and Jimenez both still good options

    3. One Wheels Enough
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      2.7 ITB, just do Tom to Kelly and have 2FT's for GW18

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

    Bottomed;:

    I know it's early but if prices change I'm short of the move I desire.

    Pope
    Aurier Soy Lundy
    Mane KDB Son Alli Mount
    Vardy Jimenez

    4.0; Coady, Guilbert, Greenwood

    Would it be reasonable to do Mount/Jimenez to Grealish/Rashford for a hit? Or just Jimenez to Tammy?

      • 14 Years

    Pulisic, Mane(vc), KDB, Salah.
    Abraham, Vardy (c).
    Button, Cantwell, Williams, Wickham.
    1ft. 0.4m ITB.

    to something like-
    Ryan, Martin.
    Kelly, Soyuncu, Robbo, Lundstram, Targett.
    Son, Mane, Grealish, Dendoncker, Wilson.
    Rashford, Kane, Vardy.
    0.0m.

    1. The FPL Units

      Literally five of that WC that I wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Ryan, dendonker, Wilson, what are you thinking?!

  10. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Finally broken into the top 100k. Sitting at 80k now 🙂

    But imagine it will change after the remaining fixures but still have Vardy, Mousset, Soy, Dunk and Traore autosub for Mane to go.

    Lundstrum 2nd on my bench...

    Choose one transfer to get Spurs....

    A) Tammy to Kane

    B) Maddy to Son

    1. theodosios

      B

    2. Sz21

    1. The FPL Units

      Yes go for it

    2. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes.

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone a bit worried about Chelsea attacking assets. Chelsea performances are dropping.

    Thinking of shifting Pulisic but not sure I want to get rid of Abraham.

    Rashford looking spot on at the moment but UTD assets cannot be trusted.

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I have no Che got rid last couple of weeks.

    2. theodosios
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Rash is the only pick if you consider Utd's assets. Personally, I would keep Pulisic for BOU if Ake is out. Their defense fall apart against Reds when he came out

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yes. Pulisic is a hold vs BOU. Then, he explodes or he is out.

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would consider Martial for Pulisic but it's still wait and see for me.

  14. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What a game. Untill gw9 I had only 1/9 cpts, from then untill today I had 6/7. Things are turning around and finally my gut is bringing results, hopefully it will continue like this during crazy Xmas period. Now the most dangerous part will be all those rotations. Lets hope we all suffer minor damage.

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I always drop in December. Take too many hits and generally get unlucky with my picks, like Pulisic and Robbo this time, when brought them three GWs ago.

      Pulisic got 6 pts and Robbo 9... still convinced they were great picks at the time though.

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I know and sometimes this game can be so irritating cause you do everything right and still nothing happens for weeks. Me myself play very patiently this year with little tf and it finally paid off. Last season had a great start and then went down, hope this year is the opposite. GL mate with your team during this chaotic period.

  15. Arteta
    • 8 Years

    My brother has Mané (c) and Kane (vc). Some people have all the luck 👿

    1. theodosios
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Many guys in my ML with that combo + Kelly autosub for Tomori...

    2. Aztec Kamara
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      My brother did too... are we related?? 🙂

    3. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would say that's more good strategy rather than luck.

  16. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years

    Teams set for next week.

    Giving Mount next gwk and then shipping to Grealish. Any better options for 6.5 and below?

    Henderson
    TAA - Soyuncu - Lundstram
    Mane - Alli - Maddison - Mount
    Kane - Vardy - Rashford

    McGovern - Willems - Cantwell - Rico

    1. Peter Ouch

    KDB to Son - will lose a lot $ if wont do that? Also maybe Jim to Rash with another transfer?

    Henderson
    TAA/Lund/Soy
    Mane/KDB/Dele/Maddison
    Vardy/Tammy/Jim

    Button/Tomori/Hayden/Rico

    1. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years

      Logical moves . Did KDB to Alli last week and Jim to Rash after yesterday's games.

  18. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Was buzzing at my Alli to Martial move but then Martial ends up outscoring him. Tempted to do KDB, Connolly to Martial, Ings

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You need a break

    2. Don Kloppeone

      Don’t rush into knee jerk. You’ll regret it mate

  19. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Morning!
    Which of these moves do you prefer?

    A) Mount > Son
    B) Jimi > Rashford
    C) Roll FT

    1FT 6.3itb
    Guaita
    TAA, Lunds, Soy
    Mané, Alli, Maddison, Mount*
    Vardy, Ings, Jimi*
    (McGovern) (Willems, Dendo, Rico)

    I’m leaning towards C) atm

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Really hoping this is the week that Chilwell and Pereira justify the additional investment over Soynucu. He has been magnificent and with my team trundling along getting green arrows it's not been an issue, but it's hard to ignore soy (51), chilly (52), Pereira (65) in the past ten games.

    I think if Pereira doesnt outscore him by a good 5 points today it's probably time for him to go, especially with Liv/city on the horizon

      I think Pereira has done enough to justify the price difference between him and Soyuncu (for early buyers I guess, at current price he might be too expensive)

      Chilwell has to improve his performance.

        Was still a 1.5m difference. Pereira has still been outstanding, 6.5ppg for a 6m is brilliant. But a million now is a lot of money with rashford rattling them in and forcing a costlier forward line consideration

    Is Aurier injured after all?

      Don't know anything about it. Fingers crossed.

      Mourinho after the Game: "A perfect day. No injuries, a clean sheet, goals, perfect football, kids coming on for first Premier League football" - So the Aurier-Injury should not be a big problem

      Where did this come from?

    Choosing to lose Sterling over Salah yesterday might just be the saving of my season. Fine margins.

      Think you'd have had a very decent week regardless with the spurs double up. I also had gazza and it halfed my rank to about 100k overnight.

      Hoping for a v low scoring or blank Leicester game now

    Pope
    TAA - Lundy - Soy
    Mane - Alli - Pulisic - Tielemans
    Vardy - Kane - Jiminez

    (4.0 - Aurier - Cantwell - Rico)
    1ft & 1.0m

    GW17: Kane ➡️ Rashford

    GW18: Pulisic & Tielemans ➡️ Son & Grealish (-4)

    Thoughts?

    Robbo & Zaha to Aurier & Alli?

    In need of some advice please hive scout brain. OR 112,838. Playing 3-5-2 & thinking of converting to 3-4-3. Current team:

    Ryan (Button)
    TAA, Chilwell, Lund (Rico, Tomori)
    Mane, KDB, Son, Pulisic, Zaha
    Vardy, Abraham (Connolly)

    I feel Chelsea are in a little dip and now regretting Zaha decision (did it last season too!).
    On chopping block -> Tomori, Pulisic & Zaha, maybe KDB to fund Alli
    On wishlist -> Rashford, Alli

    Thoughts? Just hold for one week. Good fixtures for Chelsea assets. Palace at home. Then allows a possible 3-way -4 transfer to bring in Rashford the week after if another poor week?

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On balance I think you have strong enough fixtures to warrant not panicking about Alli/Rashford. And since you are looking at three transfers you can forget about what prices do in the meantime and work it out close to that deadline

    2. abaalan

      Got a similar team and regretting my decisions to bring in both Pulisic (3/4 weeks ago) and Zaha (2 weeks ago) - both have done nothing and am missing out on Spurs mid because of it.

      May hold both for one more week with nice fixtures, although have 2 ft so one may go this week and will also move to 3-4-3 in all likelihood.

        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks guys. Reassuring reading. I think I will hold. Forget about price moves and give Pulisic & Zaha one more week. Agree re the promising fixtures.

    A few weeks back most of the regulars on here were wallowing with me at terrible ORs, 500k, 350k etc etc. “This is the season of the causal etc”.

    Now I come on here and everyone is reporting breaking into top 100k, 50k!

    Are the rest staying quiet or am I just having a particularly meh season?

    I’m happy with my slow but steady progress but it’s definitely slow. Hopefully my ‘marathon not a sprint’ approach will eventually pay off!

      This place can be so fickle . The casual nonsense is thrown out by people looking to blame something else for their decisions. Marathon approach is the best way. Good luck.
      I've dropped 20K this week through bad decisions

        Thanks mate.

        Got to take the long term view right?

        I’ve had small greens for the last few but it’s mostly 3 steps forward 2 steps back.

        On a tiny green atm but Vardy non capper so expect it to turn red

    Am I the only one thinking of binning Pool defence?

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Probably.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Have seen few who are considering to drop after WAT game

    3. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nope. I am thinking of utilising TAA money to get Rashford. Thinking GW18 onwards.
