Tight calf for absent Aubameyang as Everton host Arsenal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£11.4m) is absent for Arsenal as they travel to Everton in Gameweek 14.

The Fantasy Premier League midfielder misses out due to a tight calf, replaced in the starting line-up by Eddie Nketiah (£5.5m).

Willian (£7.6m) and Nicolas Pépé (£7.6m) flank the former Leeds loanee, as Mikel Arteta continues with 3-4-3, despite the return of Hector Bellerín (£5.1m) on the bench, whose suspension triggered the return to that shape last time out.

Bukayo Saka (£5.2m) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) are the wing-backs with Kieran Tierney (£5.3m), David Luiz (£5.4m) and Rob Holding (£4.4m) the three-man defence.

Everton make an enforced change of their own, Tom Davies (£5.2m) coming in for Allan (£5.3m). André Gomes (£5.4m) might have claimed the Brazilian’s place had he not sustained an injury of his own in the build-up to Gameweek 14.

Having collected two clean sheets in the last two matches, Carlo Ancelotti retains faith with Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) and Mason Holgate (£4.8m) at full-back although Robin Olsen (£4.5m) drops back to the bench for Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) to start in goal once again.

Everton XI: Pickford; Godfrey, Mina, Keane, Holgate; Sigurdsson, T Davies, Doucouré; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi.

Arsenal XI: Leno; Tierney, D Luiz, Holding; Saka, Elneny, Ceballos, Maitland-Niles; Willian, Nketiah, Pépé.

    Penalty to Arsenal

    Would you do Wilson to Bamford for free?

      Stop swapping budget strikers.

          That’s not how Bamford works

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Scores against Fulham, Sheffield, hattrick v Villa, Palace, Chelsea, Newcastle, like all players they tend to do better against weaker opposition

      Yep

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      No, but Ings injury hurts his potential

  15. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years

    How nailed is Stones? Any City itk?

  16. Siva Mohan

    AMN - 0.8% ownership

    I need a DCL red card

  19. Canarinha
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Did Kdb look good today? tired or energetic?

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

      Compared to last couple of weeks, this was worse performance

    2. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      KDB as usual could have come out of that with more points, same old likes of sterling/mahrez etc wasting chances.

      He wasn’t on his A game by any stretch but again city’s best asset!

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Never seen him walk so much; knackered

    4. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He'll haul one of these days.

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looked knackered

        Flat. City too.

    DCL makes it impossible to sell him. His value this season is I’m unbelievable. As good as Ings last season.

    1. Frucke
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes cant sell him, looks dangerous every time

  21. JohnnyRev7
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Saw the earlier slagging and dissing of DCL and then he returns an assist.

    Can non owners keep up the hatred and bile towards him over the rest of the game so us owners can revel in his future points?

    It's a weird FFS phenomenon that somehow seems to translate to reality on the pitch.

    Keep up the good work DCL haters and thanks in advance. 😉

    1. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Was great for me but decided to lose Dcl instead of Robbo to afford Jota➡️Son

      Don't regret it.

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We're owners in a parallel universe , trying to reverse jinx a few points.

      1. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That actually makes sense.

  22. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Salah + Taylor looks like rising tonight for sure.

    Kdb➡️Salah

      If playing in a team value league then yes else late taylor play

  23. have you seen cyan

    3 years, 4 months ago

    DCLs returns are incredible...
    8,17,6,6,6,1,8,5,13,2,6,5,5,4+

    Maybe I need to rethink ditching him because he doesnt have a double..

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yeah super consistent but not explosive, don't ditch

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        could be due a haul very soon, based on the spacing of his previous hauls 😀

  25. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Not going to lose kdb before Newcastle......but if I downgrade him to son, I can do welbeck to Adams and chilwell to robbo.
    Essentially 3 upgrades, hmmm

    1. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Only sell Kdb if its for Salah.
      Which in my case it is so he's done for me.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Have Salah as well....

      2. HNI
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You really rate WBA highly....Kdb created 4 chances this gw too...Maybe have both

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Chilwell to robbo not so much consdeirng both have dgw

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Well I have James so happy to diversify 😉

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      not sure it is a down grade to Son 😉

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Exactly....

    4. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't think KDB to Son counts as a downgrade anymore 😉

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yup
