The first of ten Premier League matches in as many days takes place between Everton and Crystal Palace, with Gameweek 26 getting underway at Goodison Park at 12:30 GMT.
Carlo Ancelotti has delivered a blow to owners of Mason Holgate (ยฃ4.5m) and Djibril Sidibe (ยฃ5.4m), with both of those defenders only among the substitutes.
That is Holgate’s first benching since Gameweek 9, with the budget Fantasy Premier League asset losing his ever-present record under his new manager.
Michael Keane (ยฃ5.2m) and Seamus Coleman (ยฃ5.3m) come in at centre-half and right-back respectively, with Bernard (ยฃ6.4m) ousting Alex Iwobi (ยฃ5.6m) on the left flank.
Ancelotti’s other change is an enforced one, with Morgan Schneiderlin (ยฃ4.4m) replacing the suspended Fabian Delph (ยฃ5.3m).
Richarlison (ยฃ8.1m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (ยฃ6.1m) again form a two-man strike force for the hosts.
Speaking of his line-up changes, Ancelotti said:
We need more of everything. More quality, more intensity, more pressure, more concentration. It’s not easy to pick the line-up but I want everyone to be involved and the players accept my decisions.
The Palace team news is nice and easy to digest, with the Eagles unchanged from their defeat to Sheffield United last weekend.
Martin Kelly (ยฃ4.3m), who lost his place to Joel Ward (ยฃ4.3m) in Gameweek 25 anyway, is absent with a minor calf injury.
Vicente Guaita (ยฃ5.0m) is between the posts again after his clanger against the Blades, with Roy Hodgson saying:
You donโt drop first-choice goalkeepers because theyโve made one mistake – it can happen to anyone. We’re very happy with him and very happy heโs playing today.
Palace are without a clean sheet since Gameweek 16, which is the longest barren streak in the top flight at present.
Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Digne, Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Walcott, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.
Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Tomkins, Cahill, van Aanholt, Milivojevic, McCarthy, McArthur, Zaha, Ayew, Benteke.
