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.

      Similar. Mitchell will come on fire Lascelles assuming he is injured

    Great having a playing bench..

    Lamptey and Mitchell, zero each.

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years

      Same. Covering James and possibly Saiss.

    Please Son, don't play... Bissouma my first player on bench.

    Need a Davies no show now! Haha

    No DCL, no Rodriguez, Bissouma 2nd on bench behind Mitchell.

    Time to close the tab 😆

    1. Wicked Weapon
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Exactly the same except I have him 2nd behind Kyle Walker-Peters

  6. The Senate
    • 5 Years

    Of COURSE I put Bissouma second sub behind KWP. (Podence in XI)

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence could still be out

    2. Wicked Weapon
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Podence could be out so maybe all is not lost yet

    KdB CDM?

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

      Looks like 433, not double pivot. Rodrigo sits and KDB and Foden further forward

    Please Brewster don’t play on Sunday I need those points from Bissouma

    1. Muchentuchel

      Don't think he's allowed to.

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

        Sure he is

  9. Bobby

    I ask hesitantly and quietly but...dunk assist?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      After watching Trossard against united, I wanted him in my team. After today, I still want him in my team. He could have scored and had at least two assists. Mina has single handedly stopped him from hauling. What a game he has had.

    2. FPL Blow-In

      Sorry RF assist to March

    Big thanks to those that talked me out of Bissouma to Pode for -4, started Bissouma! Nice addition to the Hamez and dcl points!

  16. ChickenTikkaMoSalah

    Bissouma owners, let’s be honest who doesn’t have bissouma second on their bench

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I started him, only through lack of better options!

    2. dansmusen

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

      He didnt. Mina was ahead of DCL, now he is behind.

    Interesting we get to see Laporte and Diaz together.
    If these guys get a partnership going we will all be getting one of them.

  19. Von Lipwig

    Any chance Foden or Justin don't play? Want those sweet Bissouma points?

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

      Foden is in the starting 11 so unlikely

    2. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Foden in the starting 11

  20. Bram
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bissouma deep on my bench just cost me 2pts (Digne and DCL bp) but just WOW what a hit.

  21. Miguel Sanchez

    Bissouma bench points I will not see

    1. Von Lipwig

      yep

      GW 6 for me

      No rush right now when Foden is 6.5 and starting for City

  25. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gladly started Bissouma.
    He made up for the lost Digne points.

    Digne to TAA for free now or should I go cheaper (Chilwell)?

    1. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Chilwell probably the priority for now on fixture and the fact he'll double, maybe triple rise by next gw. TAA could even drop if Robbo outscores him again (although I still think TAA is needed and will not be losing him myself). I will be bringing in Chilwell though for sure.

  26. dansmusen

    Bissouma on bench Digne/Pickford in the team...i really thinking of doing a -4 to get Pickford out

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

    Part of the reason I WC was because I didn't want to have to play Ayling and Bissouma because I had Son.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      LOL

  28. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
