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.

    In other news, Maupay looking like a really good swap for Wilson - how's he played?

    Everton signed JRod for the price equivalent of a big mac meal.

    Can't wait to have Walcott (c) over Rodriguez for Everton's DGW and act surprised when it ends badly.

    Might have to lose Digne as long as Pickford is the Everton GK.

    Smart of Walcott to already start preparing for a career outside of football as a Dominic Calvert-Lewin impersonator....

    1. Neto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      cracking goal

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

    Realistically who could Everton get in to replace Pickford?

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

      Neville Southall could do a job

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

        Fair

    2. All de Gea no iDier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Stevie Wonder?

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

        Got a pretty good catch on him....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ebts1FMCgb4

    3. Hawk
      • 8 Years

      Romero??

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

        Daft of Man U to sanction that transfer but then again they are quite daft...

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Krul
      that cardiff keeper from a couple years ago
      any second choice keeper in the top half
      ben foster

      all crap options but all far better than Pickford

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

        See if they can bring Karius back to Liverpool...

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

      Heaton

  28. AC/DC AFC

    Goal of the weekend?

  29. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I knew Hames was likely still a good option despite the negativity by some on here but I never really like doubling up on any attackers hence the reason I went for Barnes instead. Hopefully he makes up for it somewhat this week (and over the next 4)

  30. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years

    Bissoma coming on for Lamptey

    1. Old Man
