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.

    Luiz unlucky

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

      Really? I'd say he is very lucky, look at the career he has had compared to how good he is.

    England's No 1

    1. Weak Become Heros

      Shocking. Id like to see Pope get a run of games for England.

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      True. Pepe wasn't confident at all there (It was clearly going in and it took forever for him to realize it. Tired, most likely.). That was save-able.

    Ings off with a minor hammy 8njury.

    What’s the min time out? 1-2 weeks?

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

      3 matches

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

      Just strain is one 1-3 weeks, but it's Ings and he has his injury history. Would be sell for me unless bench has plum fixtures for long enough period.

    Pickford needs to be “rotated” again

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yep

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

    Lucky lucky Pickford

  6. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I can buy pretty much any player in GW15 before WC? Who do you think?

    McCarthy
    James, Chilwell, Lamptey
    KDB, Bruno, Salah, Grealish, Cavaleiro
    Bamford, DCL
    (4.0, Justin, Mitchell, Davis*)

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

      I'd get in as much Pool as you can

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

      Spurs

    3. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Sterling

  7. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would seem almost rude to add Thiago to this Liverpool team now

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

      1-1 draws to fulham, brighton and Midtylland - rude

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

    Is Che Adams ineffective without Ings in the team.

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

      No, he did ok while Ings was out before

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

      Did ok without him already.

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

      Less, not ineffective

    4. CBonci
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have him and am holding. He is involved in a lot of build-up. Good value imo

  9. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Oh look.. Pickford being Pickford.

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Ceballos is such a diver

    "The standard back five we are use to starting for us won’t be happening on Monday. One player will miss the match. Hopefully it’s not a serious injury. Updates to come"

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

      "back 5" - they mean including Mendy then? in which case it'd point towards him being out?

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

        Apparently Zouma wasn't in the training pictures

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

          strange that they'd say back 5 then. will have to see. would be nice to see Tomori back in the starting line up.

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

      To find out who, stay tuned after the weather report

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

      And I still have triple Che def with Mendy my only gk 🙁

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

        Underlying defensive stats are outstanding

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

      1 shot on target in the last 11 games for Willian.

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

    Richly does a Kane back in to the defender to win a free kick.

  13. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you rather have TAA or Grealish in your team for upcoming fixtures?

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

      Depends on tomorrow.

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      TAA

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you rather own next GW?

    A. Son+James
    B. Grealish+Robbo/TAA

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

      A

    2. 1zverGGadeM
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A but find way to get Robbo forsure.

  15. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    TAA as my third LFC player?

    Got Robertson and Salah

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

      not for me

    2. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Like it, but what does it do to the rest of your team?

  16. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Took DCL out this week as part of build up towards DGW19. Any chance he stays quiet?!

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

      Nope.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        As long as he doesn’t haul I’m ok. Taking him out funded Son in so I don’t regret it ...yet

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Haven't seen much of the ball in this game

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

      Sold him for Kane myself

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Fair

  17. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Iwobi and his crosses 🙄

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

      If only he had some end product.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      If Zouma's out West Ham will dominate us in the air.

    3. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Really don’t want to FH for 18. It’s such a valuable chip

  22. Lukakuna
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Have exact funds for Watkins to Bamford tonight before price rise, yay or nay?
    Got 2 FT in case of an injury

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's a good move of you plan to FH 18

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

    2. CBonci
      • 8 Years

  23. Hattrick Harry
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

  24. Bobby Digital

  25. Steve The Spud

    1. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    2. CBonci
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not sure I’d take a hit but Ings probably out for at least a game or two...could be a good punt!

  26. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
