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.

    You know it is bound to happen when everyone bought in Everton assets en masse

    Safe to say you cannot bank on cleanies but need attacking returns from defenders...

    1. AC/DC AFC

      Safer to say attacking returns from defenders are even harder to bank on!

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          I'd take DDG 100/100 times.

  12. Squib

    Everton not impressive at all so far.

  13. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Everton defensive owners getting so lucky.

  14. Rassi
    • 11 Years

    Classic Everton bandwagon.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years

  16. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Still early in this game but it's strengthening my opinion that last week was more about Spurs than Everton.

  17. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Same old same old Everton

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

    Baps for the post

  20. Fpl Richie

    I have to say, watching that Diangana goal as a WH fan hurt. Used to the pain by now of course but damn!

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Mark Noble will be saying "I told you so".

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Such an obviously bad transfer from a WH perspective.

    3. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sadly probably has more chance staying up with West Brom than he had with West Ham.

  21. Marcin the Pole
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Diangana looking very lively...

  22. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Everton all over the place

  23. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Ancelotti is a fraud

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      ever read his autobiography? Well recommended.

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      They were dreadful vs Spurs last weekend, Spurs were just even worse

  24. Slurpy
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    people already writing off Everton after 23 mins ... casuals

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

      Well it’s better tham makin em out to be the next Barcelona like many were lol

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      To be fair, they look so disjointed right now. If they score it will probably be a messy tap in goal

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        thought he stayed at Barca

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      You mean they were writing of WBA from the start?

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    I never learn. Tripled up on Everton thinking Ancelotti would fire them up to a massive win.

    They look shite

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

      Oh dear

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      I nearly did that after a night on the scotch.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      ... err ...

  26. The Chosen One...
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    how bad must Spurs be....

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Exactly!

    2. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Well, they almost lost to Plovdiv...

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      They gone and loaned a golf player to play football. U tell me

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    No wonder Noble kicked off when Ham sold Grady!

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Same old Everton. Thoughts and prayers to Bubz and everyone else who tripled up.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years

  30. Patio Kev

    • 12 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Have only just found out that the O’Shea that plays for West Brom is in fact some random called Dara and not John O’Shea of Man Utd fame.

    Surely I am not the only one stunned by this revelation ?
