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 (ยฃ7.5m), 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 (ยฃ7.1m) and Richarlison (ยฃ8.0m), both of whom scored or had chances to in Gameweek 1.

The midfield trio of Allan (ยฃ5.5m), Abdoulaye Doucourรฉ (ยฃ5.5m) and Andrรฉ Gomes (ยฃ5.5m) gets another chance to dictate proceedings in front of an unchanged back-four.

Lucas Digne (ยฃ6.1m) is at left-back, Seamus Coleman (ยฃ5.0m) on the right-hand side of Michael Keane (ยฃ5.0m) and Yerry Mina (ยฃ5.5m).

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 (ยฃ4.5m) is not ready for involvement yet, so Kieran Gibbs (ยฃ4.5m) and Darnell Furlong (ยฃ4.5m) sit either side of Dara O’Shea (ยฃ4.5m), Kyle Bartley (ยฃ4.5m) and Semi Ajayi (ยฃ5.0m).

Grady Diangana (ยฃ5.5m) and Matheus Pereira (ยฃ6.0m) provide some additional width in midfield with Romaine Sawyers (ยฃ5.0m) and Jake Livermore (ยฃ5.0m) operating centrally.

For the second week in a row, Callum Robinson (ยฃ5.5m) has been named as the lone centre-forward.

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

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

      Surprised Everton aren't in for a defender like Tarkowski.

        11 mins gone and everyone writing off Everton... I think their system is looking good. Very fluid.

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          nobody is writing them off it's just their clean sheet has gone

      With Aguero out who’s the best one City player to own: Sterling, KDB, or Jesus?

      1. DRIZ โœ…
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Kdb

      2. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        KDB if you plan to hold long-term, Sterling if you plan to do the Premium shuffle every few games.

        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Rule of thumb, always play the attacker ๐Ÿ˜‰ that’s why I didn’t do Dier to Keane/Coleman

        1. Root
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

      1. Andy'81
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Can't see full capacity crowds anytime soon so they'll likely try to keep as is, more viewers the better.
