Why Calvert-Lewin could be next value forward as Alli unlucky at Norwich

Newcastle 1-2 Everton

Goals: Fabian Schär (£5.0m) | Dominic Calvert-Lewin x2 (£5.7m)

Assists: Andy Carroll (£5.4m) | Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m), Richarlison (£8.0m)

Bonus Points: Calvert-Lewin x3, Sigurdsson x2, Richarlison x1

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) has furthered his case to be considered the key Fantasy asset at Everton now that Carlo Ancelotti has arrived as manager.

The centre-forward’s well-taken brace means he now has three goals in the two matches since Ancelotti took over at Goodison Park, averaging 9.5 points per game.

He has now scored eight times in the Premier League this season, more than in any other campaign in his career thus far.

Furthermore, following a blistering start to life under the Italian, Calvert-Lewin has been showered with praise from his new manager, indicating he could go on to become the Everton talisman for the remainder of the season.

“Calvert-Lewin is a very good striker but he’s young and has to improve. He’s a humble guy. I think he’s going to be at the top in England and in Europe. He has all the quality to be a top striker.” – Carlo Ancelotti

For the second match in a row, Calvert-Lewin was deployed up-front in a 4-4-2 system, this time paired with Moise Kean (£6.4m).

That ensured Richarlison (£8.0m) was involved on the left side of midfield, rather than in the front-two as we saw during Duncan Ferguson’s tenure as interim manager.

That did not stop the Brazilian from getting involved in Everton’s attacking exploits though, as he got the assist for Calvert-Lewin’s second goal by squaring from the flanks, earning a bonus point in the process.

Richarlison was particularly a nuisance from set pieces, forcing a save out of Martin Dúbravka inside the first 10 minutes before going close on the hour-mark.

The former Watford man collected the ball well following a corner and blasted an effort towards goal, forcing another good stop from the Newcastle goalkeeper. Richarlison might have had an assist for his shot had Mason Holgate (£4.4m) not been ruled offside for scoring the rebound. 

It may also be worth keeping an eye on Kean, who started the match alongside Calvert-Lewin. His pace caused plenty of problems for Newcastle on Saturday afternoon.

He went close from a set piece in the first half, before having too good chances in the opening exchanges of the second.

First, Kean used his quick-thinking to pounce on a loose ball at the back before Dúbravka smothered his effort and minutes later he steamed through the Newcastle defence and fired off another shot saved by the goalkeeper – although he probably should have squared to Calvert-Lewin.

However, Kean clearly has plenty to learn as he started to fade in the second half. He was loose in possession and gave the ball away in dangerous areas all too often.

In the 57th minute, he gave the ball straight to Isaac Hayden (£4.4m), who moved it onto Fabian Schär (£5.0m) to tee up Andy Carroll (£5.4m) for a powerful drive, well-saved by Jordan Pickford (£5.3m).

Not surprisingly, Kean was replaced by Fabian Delph (£5.3m) shortly after.

Djibril Sidibé (£5.3m) was unable to match his 12-point haul from Gameweek 19 but still looked like a dangerous outlet for Everton.

He held his place on the right while Lucas Digne (£5.7m) was benched for Leighton Baines (£4.9m).

Everton’s clean sheet was wiped out as Newcastle continue to offer an increased offensive threat, although not in a way which would encourage Fantasy investment.

Miguel Almirón (£5.8m) continues to cause problems for opposing defences but failed to add to his goal tally when he probably should have done. 

The Paraguayan midfielder poked wide in the first minute before striking the post after some characteristic marauding play from Jetro Willems (£4.7m) down the left flank.

Perhaps the only player offering some consistency in attack for Newcastle is Carroll, whose assist against Everton was his third in five starts.

The former Liverpool man admittedly missed the Gameweek 19 trip to Manchester United so may not be considered too nailed-on from a fitness perspective, but it is clear his aerial presence is really helping Newcastle.

On Saturday afternoon, centre-back Schär scored his volley after a knock-down from Carroll.

Newcastle United XI (3-5-2): Dúbravka; Lejeune (Atsu 74′), Fernández, Schär; Willems (S Longstaff 85′), Almirón, Shelvey, Hayden, Yedlin; Joelinton (Gayle 74′), Carroll.

Everton XI (4-4-2): Pickford; Baines (Mina 80′), Holgate, Keane, Sidibé; Richarlison, Davies, Sigurdsson, Walcott (Coleman 70′); Calvert-Lewin, Kean (Delph 61′).

Norwich 2-2 Spurs

Goals: Mario Vrančić (£6.2m) | Christian Eriksen (£8.6m), Harry Kane (£11.0m)

Own Goals: Serge Aurier (£5.1m)

Assists: Emi Buendía (£6.0m) | Lucas Moura (£7.1m)

Bonus Points: Eriksen x3, Kane x2, Vrančić x1, Buendía x1

Dele Alli (£8.9m) was unfortunate not to get any attacking returns as Spurs were held to a 2-2 draw at Norwich.

The attacking midfielder, who had been an injury doubt ahead of Gameweek 20, was deployed as a centre-forward next to Harry Kane (£11.0m) in a 3-1-4-2 system by Jose Mourinho.

Ten minutes in, Alli was played in by Kane but he could only blast over the bar when he should have got a shot on target.

Just after the restart, a beautiful through-ball from Christian Eriksen (£8.6m) had Alli through on goal once more but Christoph Zimmermann (£4.4m) made a crucial intervention just as he was pulling the trigger in a dangerous location.

Alli then had the ball in the net after poking home at the far post, only to see it chalked off for offside.

In the 78th minute, Kane played a square ball across the face of goal but Alli could not make contact.

Perhaps the most frustrating event of the afternoon saw Alli play Kane in on goal for a fantastic chance to score, only for Zimmermann to foul the centre-forward give away a penalty. That robbed Alli of any chance of an assist, as Kane converted the spot-kick having earned it himself.

Either way, such a positive performance from Alli should convince his owners that there is still plenty of Fantasy life left for him.

The same goes for Kane, whose partnership with Alli certainly brought the best out of him and he now has goals in both of his last two matches ahead of a Gameweek 21 trip to Southampton.

Lucas Moura (£7.1m) was looked at as an alternative to the thought-to-be injured Alli and it was a mixed afternoon for those who made that switch.

The Brazilian was omitted from the starting-line-up as Mourinho went with a 3-1-4-2 formation, but he emerged as a half-time replacement for Juan Foyth (£4.9m).

During the second half he registered an assist for Eriksen’s free-kick, having been deemed to have forced the handball on the edge of the area with his cross, but also picked up a booking for a foul on Max Aarons (£4.4m).

Eriksen, owned by just 2.8% and making his first start since Gameweek 11, was arguably Spurs’ best player, finishing the match top for touches, successful passes and chances created.

Despite Spurs still showing some slight offensive progress under Mourinho, problems in their defence continued.

Mario Vrančić‘s (£6.2m) first-half goal ensured that Spurs finished 2019 without a single clean sheet away from home in the Premier League.

Furthermore, a second-half own-goal for Serge Aurier (£5.1m) means that only Aston Villa (16) and Bournemouth (13) have conceded more goals than Spurs (12) since Mourinho returned to the Premier League last month.

Going behind early-on forced Mourinho out of a three-man defence at half-time, with Moura replacing Foyth, who was arguably at fault for Vrančić’s goal.

“(I abandoned three at the back) because I was losing. I knew that winning 1-0 they would just try to defend and keep Pukki up. I thought Davinson Sanchez because he is our fastest defender and would be able to cope with the possible long balls in the space for Pukki. I knew in that moment we would have all the creative players on the pitch with Alli and Kane. We were going to have Lucas, Lo Celso and two midfielder for me Ndombele and Eriksen were phenomenal. Going forward we were very, very good.” – Jose Mourinho

However, Teemu Pukki (£6.6m) still found plenty of space behind the Spurs defence in the second half, his presence causing the defensive errors which led to Aurier’s own goal.

It is also worth noting that Pukki owners can feel hard-done-by in Gameweek 20. The fact that it was a defensive error from Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) that turned the ball onto Aurier after Pukki’s run was very unlucky and he was also the subject of another VAR controversy.

He excellently plucked a Vrančić forward ball out of the sky and slotted it past Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.6m) only to have his goal ruled out for an incredibly marginal offside call.

Norwich City XI (4-2-3-1): Krul; Lewis, Hanley, Zimmermann, Aarons; Vrančić (Trybull 75′), Tettey (Cantwell 86′); O Hernández, Stiepermann (McLean 70′), Buendía; Pukki.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (3-1-4-2): Gazzaniga; Vertonghen (Moura 46′), Alderweireld, Foyth (D Sánchez 46′); Ndombèlé; Sessegnon, Eriksen, Lo Celso (Lamela 74′), Aurier; Alli, Kane.

West Ham 1-2 Leicester

Goals: Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) | Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m), Demarai Gray (£5.1m)

Assists: Felipe Anderson (£6.6m) | Ayoze Pérez x2 (£6.0m)

Penalty saves: Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m)

Penalty misses: D Gray

Bonus Points: Fornals x3, Pérez x2, Fabianski x1

Leicester’s 2-1 win at West Ham very much had the feeling of a reserve fixture as Brendan Rodgers frustrated Fantasy managers by rotating nearly his entire starting XI.

Furthermore, it proved to be Manuel Pellegrini’s final game in charge of the Hammers.

Nine of the players who were involved in the 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Boxing Day found themselves either benched or rested for the trip to the London Stadium.

Jamie Vardy (£10.1m) was absent following the birth his daughter, Çaglar Söyüncü (£5.1m), Ben Chilwell (£5.7m), Youri Tielemans (£6.4m), James Maddison (£7.7m) and Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) were all on the bench and Ricardo Pereira (£6.5m) was not in the matchday squad either.

“Jamie Vardy’s wife had a child today, so he’s with her and congratulations to them.” – Brendan Rodgers

Of those benched assets, only Maddison and Barnes emerged in the second half, registering 26 and seven-minute cameos respectively. 

With both players blanking upon taking to the London Stadium pitch, it ensured that no Leicester asset owned by more than 6.5% scored more than two points.

Meanwhile, zero points for Vardy (51.7%), Söyüncü (19.5%) and Pereira (16.0%) blew big holes in the Fantasy template on Saturday afternoon.

The fact that so many of Leicester’s first-team players missed the win at West Ham does, to some extent, make real Fantasy lessons hard to glean.

Kasper Schmeichel (£5.4m) and Jonny Evans (£5.2m) were the only two players to keep their places after defeat to Liverpool but with the Foxes now going four matches in a row without a clean sheet, interest in their defence is declining.

There was also plenty of rotation in the West Ham team too, Michail Antonio (£6.9m) and Mark Noble (£5.1m) named on the bench, with Manuel Lanzini (£6.2m) and Carlos Sánchez (£4.3m) in the starting XI.

“We needed Carlos (Sánchez) to play but Declan Rice needed a fresh player with him. Mark Noble cannot play twice in 48 hours.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Despite the departure of Pellegrini, there were still a few things for Fantasy managers to take note of, not least a much-anticipated return to the starting line-up for Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m).

In his first appearance since Gameweek 7, he saved a Demarai Gray (£5.1m) penalty after giving it away for a foul on Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m).

That said, Fabianski’s return did not exactly have a calming influence on the West Ham defence as they were, rather concerningly, carved open time and time again by Leicester’s second-team.

However, that may be exactly what the Polish international needs to get back into the Fantasy thinking. He made a total of six saves against the Foxes which, when combined with his penalty save, earned him one bonus for an eight-point score.

While Antonio has been much-discussed as a Fantasy differential recently, Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) has been creeping even further under the radar.

His second-half goal was his first of the season but a fourth attacking return since Gameweek 14. In West Ham’s last six matches, Fornals has started every time and averaged 4.8 points per game.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabiański; Masuaku; Diop, Balbuena, Fredericks; C Sánchez (Snodgrass 62′), Rice; Anderson, Lanzini (Ajeti 70′), Fornals; Haller (Antonio 46′).

Leicester City XI (4-4-1-1): Schmeichel; Fuchs, Evans, Morgan, Justin; Albrighton, Mendy (Ndidi 70′), Choudhury, D Gray (H Barnes 83′); Pérez (Maddison 64′); Iheanacho.

      I’d keep one more. Unlucky to not get an assist.

    4. NUFCAndrew
      • 7 Years

      If you had 2 FTs I’d get him gone but if I had the 1 I’d hold, and wait to move him on without the hit

      keep him

  7. WVA

    DCL is a trap people don't do it!

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Trap or decisive move of the season?!

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

        If you think DCL is your move of the season you're in trouble!

    2. fr3d

      Great enabler to allow Salah/Mane double up in DGW24

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

        This

    3. Totti
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      i think not
      as he is playing very well under ancelotti
      but let's wait another 2 weeks and see

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

      I wouldn't say trap but be ready to get rid when he stops scoring

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'm not sure he is actually. He's often posted some positive statistics - just missed out on a cutting edge.

      Seems to be coming off more frequently for him now.

  8. Peter Ouch

    Is kiko nailed?

    1. Totti

      i think yes

    2. Eat my goal!

      This I would also like to know!

    3. Holmes

      Yes as long as Janmaat is out

  9. The Mighty Hippo

    4 years, 3 months ago

    Folks you're going to have to help me out here. I keep looking at Lundstram's fixtures knowing that I'm likely going to bench him for four out of his next five matches.

    I'm so tempted to move him on and reinvest elsewhere. Is he really a season keeper, or is January a write off for him and we can always get him back in Feb.?

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

      season keeper mate
      don't sell him
      might hit u for the highly ownership

    2. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Depends when you got him. I've had him since GW1 for 4.0 million so happy for him to sit on the bench in really tough games.

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

      Someone like Rico/Cathcart covers him really well. If you can upgrade 5th defender to them, that would be better.

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

      Personally, I am keeping for these reasons.

      1. The value I have tied up in him is too much to let go
      2. I have enough cover in my squad to bench him when necessary
      3. I don't consider him as a defender really but an additional midfielder who also gets CS points...for a very cheap price.

    5. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all. I appreciate the feedback and I'll likely hang on to him for now, for the various reasons you've all cited above.

    Will Salah and Mané be rested today do you think?

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

      i think both will play

    2. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Salah 99% chance to start. Mane 60/40 imo

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Think it’s the other way round

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          because u own Mane?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years

            Because Mane was rested in the world club cup game

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years

              As was Taa

          2. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            maybe neither Mane or Salah get rested. But Salahs early withdrawal indicates he is highly likely to start

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Absolutely, it’s only opinion.

              Salah’s early withdrawal was due to him playing poorly imo

              If I had to put money down I’d say they both start. This isn’t the easiest of games

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                yea Wolves are tricky, not to be under-estimated

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think Salah starts today, with Mané benched

      And the reverse for Thursday

      With Origi & Shaq starting both games

      Could be horrifically wrong though of course

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        What about TAA?

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Im going to go with Mane and Salah both start, TAA benched. Wolves get a win somehow and any talk of invincibles 2.0 is put to bed

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            My nutty professor theory is that Nino puts out his reserves todayto have a fresh team for midweek

            His first teamers have maximum potential of 1 point, whereas a fresh team midweek have a great chance of all 3

            It’s Wolves 33rd game of he season today & thye’re Already missing Boly

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years

              lol I think Wolves will just come out all guns blazing and do Wolves things 😀

                (A la Brendan Rodgers) I wonder are Wolves’ guns possibly in severe danger of breakdown due to overuse at this stage & need a cool-off period 🙂

                Possibly no better place to take them out of the firing line than Anfield where they are expected to get precisely zero points

          can see a benching for TAA. He's on four yellows

        3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years

          Think he starts today and rested Thursday, either voluntarily by Klopp, or mandatorially by the FA due to 5th YC today

            I'd be happy with that - hope you're right!

    Hey guys, appreciate your feedback on this WC team:

    Foster (Mc.Govern)
    TAA,Lunds,Holgate,Dunk (Rico)
    Salah, Maddy, Martial, KDB (Cantwell)
    Vardy, Rashford, Ings

    Could also opt for Cantwell to Traore and Ings to DCL..and switch to a 3-5-2

    Top 6 still looks very familiar. Only difference is Leicester have replaced Arsenal.

    Doesn't matter how much trouble teams like Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea etc are in. They consistently have found a way to beat the rest and stay in that Top 6 for a number of seasons now.

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

      Found a way or just spent 100s of millions more than the rest?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Spending money is a legitimate way of achieving a Top 6 position though.

        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        What sort of line-up are you expecting today? After Friday's great win you'll be buzzing, but it will be less than 48 hours until today's match.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Could be anything, depends on how Nuno feels. Hope all the players persuade him to keep the same team.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers. From a (Foxes: me & Wolves: you) fan's point of view I hope Wolves thrash Pool, but I have Salah(c), Mane and TAA. My cup oppo has TAA, Mane and all three scorers for your boys on Friday night! So from a FPL point of view I hope that Nuno said on Friday at 10pm "Well done boys, you can all have a day with your families on Sunday".
            The reality will be somewhat different I suspect.

  14. kamdaraji

    Zaha and Tomori > TAA and Dendoncker for a -4?

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

      Not for me

    2. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tomori fixtures get really bad so would probably be benched most weeks anyway if I keep him and Zaha is not performing

  15. The Ejiptian King

    I wish I could spare a transfer to get rid of Rico, I'm starting to really dislike him and Bournemouth.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rico to kiko

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Would very much like to do that but doubt I'll ever be able to get around to it.

    2. SB007

      Me too. Bench fodder at best.

    Martial is a Troll. Martial is a Troll. Don't get him. Don't get him. Help me not make the same mistake 3 times in one season. 😀

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I agree...I always seem to have him at the wrong times

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        He sees us coming.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        He is in the Callum Wilson category for me of players who never work out for me.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Yep.

    Τwo goals from Aguero would be amazing.

      Bravo red and Kun hooked at ten mins? lol

  18. phineedle

    4 years, 3 months ago

    For the DGW till around GW30

    A) Mane, Maupay, Willems
    B) Maddison, Robertson, Rashford

    Wondering if the cost of double pool mids is worth it. Newcastle, Sheffield and Brighton all have good fixtures for that period, and all have cheap players which can maybe keep up with the mid price premiums

  19. Babit1967
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone taking a punt on Firmino ?

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He could be a good option, he tends to go on scoring runs and his form seems to have picked up of late.

  20. Roysgotnoboys
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    2 FT’s... Abraham > Ings for the next few?

  21. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do you reckon that Wilson could now be a good punt?

    7.4m and Bournemouth have a great run of fixtures coming up

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      god no, it will be like getting Pogba

    2. The Ejiptian King

      Bournemouth are disgusting.

      grealish -> traore

  23. Totti
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    who do u rather guys to have in the coming fixtures?

    A) maupay
    B) DCL
    C) deeney
    D) wood (one week punt against aston villa) and then shift to one of the above

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

      Maupay but I have weird taste

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

        hahahahahahahaha
        maupay against chelsea!!!!
        or wood against aston villa ?

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

      Maupay. He's an absolute menace and has something none of the others do. Is also on pens and has peachy fixtures for a stretch. 10/10 would recommend.

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

        do u think he'll score against chelsea?

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

          I do. Chelsea defence has been messy of late and can see Maupay causing issues with his runs in behind.

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Williams for 5th defender?

  25. danlynch13
    • 8 Years

    Options appreciated

    Ryan
    TAA-Soy-Kelly
    Salah-KDB-Mane-Martial
    Vardy-Jiminez-Deeney

    Button-Lund-Kiko-Dendonk

    Thoughts on this team could get to this using my 2ft?

  26. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    With Bournemouth in freefall, Villa looking abject and West Ham seemingly set to appoint Moyes, the relegation race is really starting to heat up.

  27. kamdaraji
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    my four point hit thsi week was going to pay off nicely until Rashford trolled and scored in the last seconds!. now need 6 points from Salah to break even. Think it might still work out

  28. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Do you think Wolves will rotate today? Write the game off and protect their players?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes please!! (but in reality probably not)

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wolves going for 3 points, Nuno likes people to watch good football

  29. Rash
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I know the wildcard ain't just about 1 game week but currently sat on 15 points. Need big scores from Salah & mane (if they play at all)

    Any changes needed?

      Get rid of Aurier. Spurs have 2 cleansheets all season, the worst in the division.
