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.

    Mina and Doucoure on 29 BPS snapping at DCL's heels on 30. One of you overtake him!

      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

    Took Hames out for Foden lol.

    Serve me right

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Foden hasn’t played ...

      1. JonSnow
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Rough

  5. Flynniesta

    I’m trying to convince myself that getting rid of Rodriguez wasn’t a crazy thing to do based on the assisting the assister theory & tough fixtures coming up. I’ve failed.

    1. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You might feel better after their next game

  6. Flair

    Everton signed Rodriguez on a free transfer.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No they didn’t.

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Technically, they did.

      2. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        they did

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Money was exchanged ; a lot of it ; technically they dodged paying Bamfield yes.

    I’m worried for people’s welfare without Hames

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      0 from 0 here and I'm still optimistic - no need to worry about people who don't let it consume their lives 🙂

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My welfare's fine thanks, DCL doing me fine

  11. davies

  12. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I have no option but to hit that wildcard.

  13. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard after gw2, thinking I'm clever not buying into the Everton hype.

    It wasn't clever.

  14. The Train Driver
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mina gamewinning goal surely will steal DCL bonus?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1. The Train Driver

    Check out my half tune comment

    Nothing in these two games to stop me doing the planned -4

    Werner and James Rodríguez
    To
    Brewster and KDB

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years

      Sounds awful...

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Didn’t sound awful when James wasn’t getting forward enough in the first half just like in the previous games.

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It was more a joke on your misspelling

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

    2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner to DCL and use the other transfer somewhere else

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about Martial just yet

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Maupay has scored 40% of the goals he scored last season in just 4 games. One to watch if he continues in this form

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Brighton look a much better side.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not much point if you could losing.

  21. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do Digne & Mitrovic > TAA & Brewster for free?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      no lol

    2. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

  22. mitro
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Still might bench JRod for Brewster next GW lol

  23. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Changed my team to fit in Rodriguez at 7.5, beautiful to see the Colombian repay me

  24. Cocomelon
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Walcott looks like he’s also lost his blistering pace

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What’s left?

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He's lost his only asset, what now?

    3. Cocomelon
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Might as well retire

  25. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How's this for wildcard
    McCarthy 4.0;
    Robbo, Digne, Chilwell (Taylor) 4.0
    KDB, Son, Auba, Havertz, Jorginho
    DCL, Maupay, (Brewster)
    Could have James for Havertz or Wilson for Maupay depending on events.
    Would it gain any value?

  26. Nightcrawler
