Calvert-Lewin and Bamford the Fantasy focus as Everton host Leeds

Everton’s Gameweek 10 meeting with Leeds is a tale of two forwards as far as Fantasy Premier League managers are concerned.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.9m) and Patrick Bamford (£6.1m) are owned by 60.9% and 35% of teams respectively and, unsurprisingly, bot start for their respective sides at Goodison Park.

While Leeds have gone with an unchanged XI from their 0-0 draw with Arsenal, Carlo Ancelotti has been forced into some alterations for Everton.

He sticks with the 3-4-2-1 shape used in the 3-2 win at Fulham but replaces the injured Lucas Digne (£6.2m) with Tom Davies (£5.3m) at left wing-back.

Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) holds onto his right wing-back role while Mason Holgate (£4.8m) comes into captain the side from centre-back, in for Yerry Mina (£5.5m).

Leeds’ unchanged set-up means FPL defender Stuart Dallas (£4.5m) is likely to play in central midfield once again, with Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) around to cover him at left-back.

Fresh from hitting the woodwork against Arsenal, it’s a second consecutive start at right-midfield for Raphinha (£5.4m) at the expense of Hélder Costa (£5.5m).

Everton XI (3-4-2-1): Pickford; Keane, Holgate, Godfrey; T Davies, Allan, Doucouré, Iwobi; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Alioski, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; K Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

      Indeed very relevant top of the page post.

      Not confident right now, that Everton line up is poor. Hopefully Richarlison is lively and can create space for DCL.

    It would be rude to be unsatisfied with 18 or 20 from the captain, but I can't help feeling that KDB should've had more in this game.

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, it seems like a par score in the grand scheme of things.

  3. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone thinking about playing Hokey Cokey strategy with the big hitters?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. It's not like I'm missing out on any premium assets.

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It’s not possible to own Kane, Son, Vardy, Salah, KDB and Bruno simultaneously

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You don't need to own all though.

          Vardy can be dropped after next 4. Then Kane, Son, Bruno, Kevin as set and forget.

          1. Vazza
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Agree, where does Salah fit into your plans?

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              As of now, I don't think we need him due to multiple captaincy options available. Things could obviously change in 3-4 weeks.

              I'm never able to build a balanced team with him.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Considering KDB > Salah (FUL) , and back again - but it's a risk.

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'm considering this as well but I also need to find 0.4 from somewhere to fund that move.

        1. Vazza
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I have a similar dilemma and am intending to downgrade Bellerin to a Villa defender

  4. JELLYFISH

    Zaha > Mahrez looking a v tempting move right now

    1. QueefParkRangers

      one week too late mate

      Last week I asked & got slated?

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I thought it was your team? U didn't do it. Don't blame others.

  5. Camzy

    I deserve all the pain. Awful to buy Sterling and Cancelo this week for hits. I deserve it.

    1. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I did it on a wildcard which is perhaps even worse when I could have just gone for Bruno instead of Sterling at least. Oh well. Hopefully they play next week and then I'll get rid sharpish.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. I intend to roll FT this week rocking both Cancelo and Sterling again. Blank again and they'll be double switched out for Salah.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo was always a tricky call.

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I got Cancelo on WC last week and brought in Sterling for Ziyech this week. Feel like Cancelo over Dias was a mistake but feel unlucky about Sterling. Hopefully they both play vs Fulham before getting rid in GW12

      Terrible game planning indeed

    3. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years

      Capped the wrong City player and got Cancelo.

      Fail.

  10. Kodap

    Cancelo > Dias a sensible move to try and avoid pep roulette? Cba having to wait for the line-up every week, making 'decent' moves then being disappointed...

  18. yanky
    • 14 Years

    as a non kdb owner i think at the end of the game im happy with 10pts— could have been much much more and i got in dias for 6 🙂

  19. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Dallas brace please!

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

      This. He’s the only player that has stayed in my team since GW1 despite being average so he should pay me back for the loyalty

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Him playing in the midfield again is a good sign. Played there against Arsenal and did really well.

      Have both mate and I think atleast an attacking return from both could be more than feasible of not more!!

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, both defences looking flaky

    3. Steve The Spud

      - fearing it might be 2pts each
      - expecting 1 goal and 1 blank
      - hoping each one matches Wilson 🙂

    5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

      I own both and Dallas. I want a Bamford hattrick and Dallas brace!

    A. Salah

      2. Ha.
        • 8 Years

      Kdb is just going to be consistent points. He is pure class. I’d get him in somehow, prob B

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry for repost folks bottomed(will probably bottom again too haha)

    So I have the exact money to do Rashford to KDB folks(would have some it this week but would have been for a hit) am I going to have to make it tonight we think!?? Or wait and have to move for Sterling instead?? Thoughts appreciated!!

    1. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB best city asset IMO

      Hard to agree with early transfers though with all the COVID worry, especially with mid-week international travel

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I completely agree mate!!! I have fallen into the early transfer trap too many times haha, with them already qualified tho I wonder if he is on the bench midweek possibly

    2. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hi mate, how’s it going? I would be tempted to move in KDB for Rashford as that Fulham fixture looks too enticing to miss out on. Presumably, you already have Salah for GW12?

      I have a similar dilemma. As a Bruno owner, not sure if I should play the Hokey Cokey strategy as I can only Salah, KDB and Bruno for any given gameweek until I remove Vardy in GW14.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hello mate yeah it’s a move I’m sure I’m going to do, cannot face going into that game with no City attack!!! Haha, regarding Salah the plan was to move KDB to Him his Fulham match and captain him, I brought Vardy in this week and he will stay for 4 weeks and move to Kane, I had DCL, Bamford and Watkins and did Watkins to Vardy this week I think a premium striker is a must as cannot rely on having both Bamford and Watkins all the time so I think you pick one of them with DCL and a premium, it’s so difficult this year, I cannot gain any momentum at all

          Hey, your situation is similar to mine. I’m planning to move Bruno directly to Salah for his game against Fulham. I don’t mind playing Bruno for the next game against West Ham. It’s an away game so hopefully, he can match KDB points. The worst case scenario is to move out a premium asset for another one and the original one hauls and the new one doesn’t so I want to avoid that situation.

          I agree it’s quite difficult so want to ensure the moves are risk free (or calculated risks). For that reason, I’ve kept Son and Kane because I’m a strong believer of why try fixing something that is not broken. Haha!! All the best mate. 🙂

            Yeah absolutely right mate!! I’ve not had Kane all season but I have not touched Son and will keep him all season(unless injured) and I’ve been thinking Salah and Bruno as my two premiums from the start, but in two minds atm with KDB and City’s fixtures too hard to ignore, I have done Rashford to KDB Tonight coz I have the exact money so had to do it, midfield is now KDB, Bruno,Son and Ziyech!!! Best of luck to you too matey

              That is some powerful midfield, it will surely do very well. Good luck!

    Surely goig for Mahrez is the Ultimate kneejerk?

    KDB + Def should be enough. And whats going on with Sterling???
