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.

    1. Whats the Huth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    2. Pedram
      6 years, 1 month ago

      James is a bargain imo, season keeper for me

    3. Alexis Nonsense
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not in the long term

      I think you'll be fine

  2. Steve The Spud

    Double digit haul coming here for James hopefully

    1. Whats the Huth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      *Richarlison

    2. Leonard hatred
      6 years, 1 month ago

      he's on max baps currently too (only 2 ahead of DCL tho)

  3. Whats the Huth
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Floodgates about to open here.
    Wish I had more than just Richarlison

  4. have you seen cyan

    the quality of streams make me want to top myself. Constant lag, horrific chat, stream stops 40 times a game for no reason. Change streams 8 times in one game, stream disconnects at vital times always.
    Its perfectly fine to watch free streams because its such a god awful experience honestly

      I’ve given up on them and just using the radio and waiting for a omg update on here

      1. Bubz
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Radio is actually quite an enjoyable way to follow a match

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Actually somewhat useful for fpl as well - easy to identify which players are having lots of touches and chances

      2. diabydoesgallas
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Radio is the way to do it (if you don’t have a subscription obvs)

    2. Flair
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Find better ones

    3. stevieme
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Just pay for BT and stop crying mate

      1. Leonard hatred
        6 years, 1 month ago

        "this thing i stole isn't as good as i'd like" 😀

    4. Pukki Blinders
      6 years, 1 month ago

      totalsportek has plenty mate

    5. _Greg
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I use sportnews.to

    6. Snarftron9009
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Buy a legit way to watch then, fool.

    7. @fpl_phenom
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I gave up ... I now have BT and Sky....

      But im working today so still cant watch them... SMH !!

      I've got a great App I use the stream games, not sure we're allowed to share that stuff on here though

    9. g40steve
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Who is your phone contract with?

      EE give BT sport on the AP free 😉

  5. SHOOTER MCGINN
    6 years, 1 month ago

    West Brom shooting themselves in the foot. They're probably going down without all this nonsense, now it's guaranteed.

  6. Rash
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else bench periera? Had a feeling he'd have a hand in doing me out of of Everton cleanie

  7. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Can Billic go into locker room if he got a red card? lol

    WBA are going to be a mess in the 2nd half

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, just can’t stand on touchline.

  8. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    And just like that WBA are relegation fodder again.

  9. badgerboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Bilic was an awesome centre half back in the day.

    1. BENOIT
      6 years, 1 month ago

      he would eat Mike Dean for breakfast

    2. Right In The Stanchion
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Couldn’t have been that good if the biggest team he played for was Everton

  10. Right In The Stanchion
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Hames using the dark arts which has seen two WBA red cards.

    COME ON EVERTON SMASH THEM

  11. Hotdogs for Tea
    6 years, 1 month ago

    upside chasing working well for those punting on Everton attackers against a team tipped to be the whipping boys 🙂

  12. Rainer
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Everton pen here would be very helpful.

    1. Whats the Huth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Who takes pen?

    2. Rolls-Royce
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not if DCL takes it

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    With Pereira only in this game, I will be happy with the 5points. Not doing Havertz to James is annoying. Here is hoping he can do something v Pool

  14. HurriKane
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Werner going to run riot gw3 right?

    1. Whats the Huth
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Captain

    2. Flair
      6 years, 1 month ago

      TC

    3. F4L
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not if he has to do all the work himself.

    4. tuvok
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not so sure. West Brom arguably looked the better side until that James goal and just lost their heads. Really high energy press was making it hard for Everton, no reason why it wouldn’t frustrate Chelsea too. Most of everton’s Chances have been set pieces

  15. MindlessFreak2
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Surely this Coleman assist will be looked at again?

    1. Rash
      6 years, 1 month ago

      what assist?

    2. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      You'll be waiting for a while.

      1. Salarrivederci
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Like forever 😀

    3. Salarrivederci
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What?

    4. F4L
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It's not an assist. DCL was not the intended target. Same for Salah's second goal last week, Robertson wasn't aiming for Mo, so no assist.

  16. Urchin
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That 7.5 mil Colombian scored. Do you guys know?

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Bond, James Rodriguez.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This is so bad that it's good.

      2. Bubz
        6 years, 1 month ago

        😆 Ah man that headline was so funny

        1. Urchin
          6 years, 1 month ago

          World cup?

  17. Villa Velour
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Been debating all week whether it’s worth a -4 for Alli to Rodriguez... proof that hits can be worth it.

    At least DCL is back on the scoresheet, another one please.

    1. Greasy Grealish Gang
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same here! Just a tad annoyed that Pereira out was part of the deal here.

  18. SoapAFC
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone going to get Bale?

    1. Urchin
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs apparently

    2. @fpl_phenom
      6 years, 1 month ago

      watchlist for now... hes out for 4 weeks seemingly with injury though

      1. Rash
        6 years, 1 month ago

        His membership on the golf course runs for another 4 weeks..

    3. Andy_Social
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Daft if you do as soon as he's in. Won't be fit for weeks and Mou will have to change the system.

    4. _Greg
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Depends what price. 7.5m midfielder, yeah.

      1. Urchin
        6 years, 1 month ago

        He cant be same price as James

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe for my Fantasy Golf League team

    6. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very little interest for me
      What price you expecting?
      Probably around Son

  19. @fpl_phenom
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Digne!!!!! Sorry just practicing

    1. BenDavies
      6 years, 1 month ago

      For his red card?

      1. @fpl_phenom
        6 years, 1 month ago

        dont 🙂

  20. Whats the Huth
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Werner captain for next GW done

  21. g40steve
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Vards at 66% vs Auba 73%, seems the C vote might be worth ignoring?

    1. Leonard hatred
      6 years, 1 month ago

      always is tbh

      1. g40steve
        6 years, 1 month ago

        When you see the poll looks a done deal?

  22. Rolls-Royce
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Timo Werner cap next week then.

    1. The Train Driver
      6 years, 1 month ago

      For sure

  23. Manani
    6 years, 1 month ago

    holding off to do Alli > Hamez don't look so good now lol

  24. Pedram
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who takes Everton pens?

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That is a very good, and important question.

      1. Whats the Huth
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Richarlison I hope

    2. manu4life99
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully Hamez

  25. Von Lipwig
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Need a brace from Havertz to make me feel better from not hitting to bring in James

  26. The Train Driver
    6 years, 1 month ago

    0.7 % own Gibbs.

  27. El Presidente
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So, same old Everton, uh?

    🙂

    1. Rolls-Royce
      6 years, 1 month ago

      They look better on the ball. Not so solid defensively yet, maybe needs Holgate back.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This, not that well balanced look vulnerable to good counters

    2. IRBOX âš½
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Top 6

  28. Shark Team
    6 years, 1 month ago

    ALWAYS vice captain > captain...
    I was really near captaining James instead of Auba but i didn't risked it. I hope Auba hat trick but I cant see it coming...

    1. Party time
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rodriguez(vc) Vardy(c)

      1. Shark Team
        6 years, 1 month ago

        i owned vardy too but i saw that burnley conceded only 1 goal in 5 away matches after restart. Plus the fact that last week's Vardy's double was not realistic cause he had a very average game

  29. Totalfootball
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So spurs midfielder/havertz to rodriguez was the move for this GW then .

  30. Make United Great Again
    6 years, 1 month ago

    HAMEZ HIVE. How’re you doing? 🙂
