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.

    Redknapp and Souness ripping Arsenal to shreds. Probably could on the pitch even now

      Let’s not pretend Redknapp was a great player like Souness.

      Troopz from AFTV moved to the US to do videos there, he is now surrounded by a bunch of clueless Americans. When Walcot scored Troopz went ballisitic, and was like WTF he is celebrating!
      The Americans were like, he is celebrating because he scored, why wouldnt he celebrate? With puzzled looks on their faces...

      My god they have no clue whats even going on, wtf is Troopz doing lol

      1. have you seen cyan

        they also said "Oh is that the Arsenal coach? He is a good looking guy, nice stubble" while Walcott celebrated his goal.
        LMAO

    How has Arsenal gone from beating the best Barca side ever to...here?

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

      They have never won the champions league so dont think you can really call them THE team

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Plenty of fallen giants, Arse have just stumbled

      A decade happened...

    DCL has done well to leep the rate up minus JamesR Digne and Coleman supply.

    1. Baps hunter

      Yes, will be getting him back when they are fit and fixtures better 🙂

    Will will cup.win for brentford vs newC give us dgw 17 for avl and newC?

  9. Voodoo

    Grealish and Lamptey to TAA and Soucek for -4?

    I’d have to do it tonight...

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

      With 7-0 thrashed cpl next and possible.dgw 17? Yeah sure DO IT

      1. Voodoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Look at Villa fixtures after that. It basically comes down to TAA vs Grealish with Soucek thrown in for the double.

        Highly unlikely that Villa will get a double, or am I missing something.

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years

      Yup

        He who dares Rodney?

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

    Bring on Martinelli please, 4.9M MID. Surely becomes a great option this season like Foden/Greenwood did post-restart last season (not on the same level though) but that probably necessitates Arteta being sacked

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

      Never get any Arsenal unless he is Alexis Sanchez. Never forget that

      1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

        Ozil had his FPL moments

        Kolscieny and Santi were good picks once. Cazorla was a beast

        Yea its actually boring these days, watching back the live stream and time stamping the goals is ok, but its garbage otherwise. Just much screaming and swearing, pretty gash

  14. Flippo_
    • 6 Years

    Are the following transfers a good choice?
    Salah In - Grealish Out
    Rice in - Mount Out
    Burkie In - Neto Out

    1. Fulchester's New Centr…

      Not great - who would be in your first XI?

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

        My starting XI would be:
        McCarthy
        KWP- Lamptey- Dallas- Robertson
        Salah- Bruno- Son
        Bamford- Kane- DCL

    Some big decisions to be made with dcl and the DGW.

    He has sheff unitef left for me then its going have to be a painful sell.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      If Antonio looks fit thats a decision

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

        I've got vardy so he's staying, probably bring che adams/antonio in for brewster once i do some moving about.

  16. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Really want Antonio as replacement for Wilson if fit.

    Any news on whether we expect him to be back for next gw (gw15)?

    Wilson > Adams would be my backup move but im less keen

  17. RAFA THE GAFFA

    KdB looked tired again today. Plan is to sell him for Son, but he has NEW next and should get some rest. Yet Son can do well vs Wolves also. Not funny that KdB looks like his price is dropping 🙁

          • 11 Years

          As inconsistent as they come but Leeds will entertain so can see Rashford score on counter

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

          Bruno will get rested to complete the trick

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

        This same Liverpool side lost 7-2 to Aston Villa. Shows that at this top level its all about the mentality and tactics. Talent can only get you a few good results like Bruno and Pogba did in comeback wins

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

          That is why Troy Deeney wins Ballon D'Or every year.

            • 11 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            And who decides the tactics? Ever sacking managers? Troy deeney isnt doing tactics for Watford amd if he would, he wouod be no match to ancelotti and co

        Can't believe people were getting rid of DCL

        1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
          • 5 Years

          Brought in Kane for him

        2. DandyDon
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          i did just for two weeks to Bamford who I thought would do a lot better in those games (11pts to DCL's 10) but brought him back in today for Vardy. Was expecting more points in exchange for the value i lost on him but way I'm set up funds not currently a huge issue for my team. Makes it easier for me to sell him again to possibly Vardy for upcoming double gameweek.

        3. Plant Based FPLer

            I’ll be doing grealish and Lewis out for Robbo and Soucek.

            Robbo’s form is too good to ignore

        2. Phlajo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Robbo looks awesome.. beat pick of the 2 imo.

          Think I'll get him in for Zouma myself by downgrading Grealish to Bowen
