It’s as you were for both Everton and West Bromwich Albion in the opening match of Gameweek 2.

Fresh from a 1-0 win at Spurs, Carlo Ancelotti has gone with the same XI that impressed there.

That means another start in the front-three for James Rodriguez (£7.5m), who was highly sought-after in the Fantasy Premier League transfer market this week.

The Colombian international is joined at that end of the pitch by Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.1m) and Richarlison (£8.0m), both of whom scored or had chances to in Gameweek 1.

The midfield trio of Allan (£5.5m), Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.5m) and André Gomes (£5.5m) gets another chance to dictate proceedings in front of an unchanged back-four.

Lucas Digne (£6.1m) is at left-back, Seamus Coleman (£5.0m) on the right-hand side of Michael Keane (£5.0m) and Yerry Mina (£5.5m).

Considering his slight personnel issues, Slaven Bilic has named a five-man defence once again, despite conceding three times at home to Leicester last time out.

Branislav Ivanovic (£4.5m) is not ready for involvement yet, so Kieran Gibbs (£4.5m) and Darnell Furlong (£4.5m) sit either side of Dara O’Shea (£4.5m), Kyle Bartley (£4.5m) and Semi Ajayi (£5.0m).

Grady Diangana (£5.5m) and Matheus Pereira (£6.0m) provide some additional width in midfield with Romaine Sawyers (£5.0m) and Jake Livermore (£5.0m) operating centrally.

For the second week in a row, Callum Robinson (£5.5m) has been named as the lone centre-forward.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Doucouré, Allan, Gomes; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodriguez.

West Bromwich Albion XI: Johnstone; Gibbs, O’Shea, Bartley, Ajayi, Furlong; Diangana, Sawyers, Livermore, M Pereira; C Robinson.

      Not sure how that’s a ‘casual’ move really - getting the points for now.

    Gomes did well there to just nudge a WBA player out of the way to allow Rich to drive forward and play the pass.

        • 8 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        No Auba, didn't fancy Salah this week.

        If Rodriguez bags another against 10-man brom i'm more than happy with this mate 😀

  23. Rolls-Royce

    Congrats DCL owners

  24. Pukki Blinders

    Hamez will score outside the box a lot... KDB-esque

  25. Rash

    Straight red for the Ox

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years

  27. @Bryan
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Captained James as I think he is absolute class and 7.5 is a reflection on the team he plays in rather then individual ability.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Ok then.......lol

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      agree tbh. well and also that he's been a bit irregular the last few years, but he is quality

    3. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Have James but would never captain. Bold!

      1. @Bryan
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I think vs a bottom 3 side it makes sense, but I don’t have Auba so made it a straightforward choice!

    4. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Silly move, only assists the assister

  28. Keep Calm and Play On
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    What the hell was gibbs thinking?! That’s basic stuff, if you’re mad at a player you rake his heel next tackle or stomp his foot on a corner, you don’t push his face lol wtf

  29. el polako

    This is going to be long 2nd half for Toffess non owners.

    Dark arts from James, Gibbs bought it.

      Such a stupid and selfish act by Gibbs.
