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.

    DCL owners getting rid for the DGW19? Was going to switch to Bam Bam but I don't think I can bear to lose him

      That OG really changed your mind?

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        his returning is relentless and have owned since GW3

        think I will keep him and bin Adams instead

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          That’s what I would do tbf

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

      Might bin for Adams, which would free cash for a few more dgwers.

        Worse not owning Salah..

          Surely you can find a place in your team for a guy under 8.0 who’s returned in twelve games out of fourteen?

      Couldn’t do a worse job than the last two muppets.

  15. LǝgleSs e|even

    DCL should be the England frontman

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      With Kane behind him.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Kane might have words about that.

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

      Should be Jonas Bros frontman with that man bun

      1. Right In The Stanchion

        Jealous?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          He really should play for Arsenal; fire your janitor and give him a ring

      Odds of Arteta losing his job after losing a match between two of his former teams ?

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

        0, seems like the board are sticking with him for the foreseeable future

      2. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not going to happen.

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

        Who in Arsenals executive structure really cares about losing? They are making their $ ..

      4. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Arteta should have lost his job months ago, he has some dirt on the owner or something

      • 6 Years

      DCL just looks like young Kane too me.
      I'm sure he'll be as good as Kane or even better in the coming years

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Can I get that from you afterwards ?

      4. Brosstan

        Great bait

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          "Great" is rather inaccurate.

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

        Different animal, more athletic, less playmaker. Maybe a taller and better looking version Gary Lineker!

      6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years

        Disco biscuits?

      7. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Calvert Lewin can’t play defensive midfield though.

        1. Dthinger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          And he doesn’t take corners

      8. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        DCL will never be like Kane, he has his own qualities but Kane was much better at his age.

      9. Woy_is_back
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        DCL is not even close to Kanes level, never will be

        1. Isco Disco
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Wow! You guys rate Kane so much. If he was that great then why isn't he playing for an elite club and stuck with Spurs for the last 6 seasons. If DCL starts taking penalties and keeps playing in a good Everton side under Ancelotti then I feel he is totally capable of scoring 20+ goals every season like Kane.

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

            put the crack down pipe, Spurs arent a top club? Who do you support Arse? Most likely

    • Canarinha
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Must be a nightmare to be a Ars fan if you have seen 2000's Bergkamp-Henry era...damn bro they really suck

    • TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      That DCL effort deserved to go in, great save.

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thought it was in. Leno is good at those saves.

    • Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Arsenal could have bought Zaha instead of Pepe. Such a bad move. Willian is absolutely useless and old now too.

      Don’t get me started on Elneny and Holding.

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Both have idiot streaks in them and are not world class.

      2. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wish Everton bought him last season.

      3. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You were happy to get Willian 6 short months ago. Whoever you buy will quit when they get there. It’s a cultural thing.

    • The Road to Turfdom
      • 7 Years

      Thoughts on Leeds' Rodrigo as an option? Thanks

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Good but there’s too many other shiny toys to play with.

    • Sahil.....
      • 6 Years

      Hope dcl scores a couple of more and get arteta sacked

    • NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      5th MID for 3-5-2 and DEF … Which one do you rated best for going into DGW19?

      A : Anguissa | Chilwell - R.James - Coufal - *Kilman - *Mitchell
      B : Soucek | Chilwell - Coufal - C.Taylor - Aloiski - *Mitchell
      C : Soucek | R.James - Coufal - C.Taylor - Dallas - Balbuena or Alioski (double for DGW)

      *SGW or Unlikely to play

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        C is close to what I have so...

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

          Having more players to play. It might be required during festive over GW15-16-17 too.

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

      DCL goal and Arsenal red in the second half? Probably likely

      1. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Taxi for Arteta

    • Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish (CRY) & KDB (NEW) -> JWP (ful) & Salah (WBA) (-4)?
      Could do it for free next week (planned to), but KDB is about to fall and Salah about to rise which is a 0.2 swing.

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

        Team for next week with 0.2 ITB and 1 FT:

        Martínez
        TAA - Robertson - Chilwell
        (K)DB - Bruno - Son - Rashford - Grealish
        Bamford - Welbeck

        (Farrell, Lamptey, Brewster, Mitchell)

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        seems sideways at best, not my cup of tea for -4

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

          Alright thanks. For free when the fixtures change a bit then:

          Grealish (che) & KDB (eve) -> JWP (WHU) & Salah (new) for free then.

        2. Salarrivederci
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ofc the (C) factor plays in a bit.

          (K)DB vs. Salah (C)

      3. Salarrivederci
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        If Ings injured, then JWP is back on pens too.

      4. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        One is looking a lot more dangerous than the other

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

          For sure. But could ride it out just one more week?

      5. NATSTER
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not considering to keep KDB and sell Rashford instead?

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

          Then I would have to sell either TAA or Robbo?

      6. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'd get Neto or Soucek instead of JWP

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

          Think those set pieces looks good. If Ings is injured then he also got pens. Good DGW inc. and nice enough fixtures except Liverpool

          1. Gooner Kebab
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            True, same Soucek and you could use the cash elsewhere

    • ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      Watkins to Adams with FT looks good if Adams disappoints again?

      1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years

        *Watkins disappoints again lol

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years

        Do it.
        Adams disappointed again 😎

      3. Flair
        • 3 Years

        Watkins faces Palace next

        1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          True but Adams has Fulham and a DGW...
          plus better fixtures in between so might be doing that move anyway

      4. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Adams just blanked. But will keep I guess.

      5. Fulchester's New Centr…
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Got Adams for GW1 - wish I had kept.

    • Siva Mohan

      I'n sure this has already been asked but I'm assuming tier 4 restrictions wont affect play of premiership matches ?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years

        it won't

      2. Gooner Kebab
