Richarlison shakes off ankle injury to start for Everton

Richarlison (£8.0m) has overcome the ankle injury sustained midweek to start for Everton in Gameweek 4.

The Brazilian was one of many players discussed by Carlo Ancelotti in his Friday press conference, and it would appear that he has passed the fitness test.

That means Richarlison is free to make a fourth successive start in Everton’s front three, joined there by Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.5m), now owned by 41.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers, and James Rodríguez (£7.7m).

The Colombian, now sat in 30.3% of teams, has blanked in two of his first three league matches for the Toffees, but his last Goodison Park outing produced a 12-point haul.

However, Everton’s midfield trio is somewhat patched up today with Allan (£5.5m) and André Gomes (£5.5m) both missing out to a groin injury and a knock respectively.

They are replaced by Tom Davies (£5.4m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.9m) while Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.5m) makes his fourth successive Premier League start of the campaign.

Brighton arrive on Merseyside on the back of some positive displays, so Graham Potter has tempered his tinkering once again, making just one change to the side that lost to Manchester United.

Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) is back in midfield, while Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) and Neal Maupay (£6.5m) start in support of Aaron Connolly (£5.5m).

Meanwhile, popular full-back Tariq Lamptey (£4.6m), owned by 10%, retains his berth on the right-hand side of a midfield four.

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Sigurdsson, T Davies, Doucouré; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-4-2-1): Ryan; Webster, Dunk, White; March, Alzate, Bissouma, Lamptey; Maupay, Trossard; Connolly.

    No matter how much you strengthen the rest of your team, a bad goalie will always drag you right back down...

    Everton players are main reason why England cant win anything.

    Casual Maupay owners at it again with jammy points..

    1. dimo_fpl

      Cheap goal scorer on pens, what makes him a casual pick and not Mitrovic lol

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      You're a casual if you haven't been watching brighton play past 3 matches.

      Don't own him, but he's a good pick. Hardly a casual pick.

      Casual non-owner salty he missed the boat again

    Digne > Chilly was best transfer coming into this GW....surprised more didn’t do it, especially if on WC....

    1. GuillermoDickero
      • 9 Years

      Very easy to say in hindsight haha. Don't think many would expect a goal, assist and clean sheet from chilwell

    Brighton all over Everton right now

  21. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Digne so annoying to own. Makes lost of assists points, but is always 1 goal away from cleansheet. And that goal is almost always from error and not just being outplayed

  22. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    World class free kick from Cristino Dunkey

  23. WVA
    • 7 Years

    Does that count as a trossard assist!?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Is it even fair to laugh at Pickford anymore?

      Feels cruel at this stage.

      1. boc610
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I genuinely don't think he is all there so yes it probably is cruel

        That's what Lampard spends a few hours every week to think about

        • 13 Years

        PVA or Chilwell

    5. Limbo

      Coleman having a good game.

    6. DAZZ

      How many errors does Pickford need to make, before Carlo does something?
