With no match in Double Gameweek 19, have Everton gone under the Fantasy Premier League radar ahead of Gameweek 20?

That’s what we are pondering in this latest article as the Toffees face a period of appealing fixtures.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men had fans on the edge of their seats at the start of the season and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) became a near-essential pick after delivering returns in eight of his first nine games.

Lucas Digne (£6.0m) was thriving as a maurauding left-back, providing five assists in 10 matches and summer signing James Rodríguez (£7.7m) hit the ground running in the Premier League.

However, as we look towards Gameweek 20, it is a very different story for Everton’s attacking assets.

With no goals in five games and a hamstring injury threatening to keep him out for the next few, Calvert-Lewin has been sold by nearly a million players

Digne and Rodríguez, once well-owned assets, are now in just around 13% of squads combined.

With FPL players selling Everton players en masse, we take a look at their underlying numbers to see if any of them are worth keeping for their appealing schedule.

    Vardy > Kane cause he is a better captain option for gw21
    Also Rashford can be another great alternative to KDB

    1. tafrère

      Who is a better captain option in GW21 ?

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy vs LEE(H)

    2. Bushwhacker

      Bit perplexed with the Rashford love ; United don't have a regular scorer, they're reliant on mistakes from opposition or worldies . . . Rashford did have a nice time out against Sheff Utd last time but they've changed a lot since then.

      1. tuturututu
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Brought him in for DGW if he doesn't haul vs SHU it will be a disaster move for me.

  2. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So many options to replace KDB with...

    Salah (-4)
    Grealish
    Pogba
    Zaha (?)
    Maddison
    Barnes
    Gundogan

    I think I'll go with Grealish and then Saka > Maddison in GW21.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If Salah blanks again tonight is he an option? Poignant doing ok I suppose.

      1. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He's always on my watchlist but form and fixtures aren't really good.

        That's why I'd rather go with a cheaper replacement.

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Liverpool need their defense back ; if Matip comes back Salah looks a better bet.

          1. tuturututu
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Don't think Matip playing is crucial to Salah in any way

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Why not? Our centre backs are extremely important to our attack. It’s pretty plain to see.

              1. tuturututu
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Didn't see that but maybe you are right. Personally I think it is only about converting chances. Firmino had like 7 sitters in last 3 games which he failed to convert..

                1. Rupert The Horse
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  He has missed a few but we’re not creating anywhere near as much clear cut chances these days. With our engine room Henderson at the back and not able to press in midfield along with Fabinhos energy the forwards quite simply can not be fed as normal. It’s made a massive difference.

          2. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah totally agree. We can’t function as a unit with our two very important mids playing at the back.

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Definitely looking at Rashford.

  3. Parsnips
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I might take a punt on aubameyang as a replacement for KDB

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal just don't pass the eye test for me ; that's a two transfer punt too.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Would nearly be tempted but those fixtures aren't the best

  4. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    If KDb is out:

    How is this for -4

    KDB Brewster OUT

    Kane Gundogan IN

    Soucek 5th mid currently would move to the bench

    1. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's fine even though GW20 is not the best time to bring a Spurs asset imo.

      But Kane could ofc do well.

    2. Big Hippo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      This is my plan I think...

    3. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      do it over 2 weeks for free (my plan)

  5. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Think I'll ignore ManC mids as a Kdb replacement and get Grealish instead.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      4YCs with three games left (after 19th league game) until the threshold increases to 10YCs

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ffs. Didn't remember that. Thanks

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      2-2-7-2 . . . .

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Past points aren’t relevant for the future

      2. popey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        last three league games have been chelsea, Man Utd, Man City all away and Jack could have had points in all of them

  6. tuturututu
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Points prediction for tonight for these 3?

    Robbo
    Salah(c)
    Firmino

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      12, 9 (without captaincy), 2

      1. tuturututu
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        That would be awesome

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      8,6,2

  7. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Lads, if I may already: assuming KDB is fit, can I afford to hold and save my ft? What do you suggest?

    Martínez / McCarthy
    Dias / Stones / Cresswell / Saïss /  Dallas
    Salah / KDB / Bruno / Grealish / Soucek
    Antonio / Watkins / Bamford

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He's out for 2-3 weeks.

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why, f—. If I may then: any suggestion, sir?

        1. JBG
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Kdb out for any other mid that's in form right now. Son, Barnes, Maddison, Gundo, Pogba, maybe Rashford.

          1. sirmorbach
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Appreciate it, sir!

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Link(s)?

      3. Jimbo-Jones
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Source?

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      A 433 still decent this week imo. Kdb will defo fall in price though so maybe KDB, Watkins to ESR, Kane? Or even get Foden or Gundo

      1. sirmorbach
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I thought about it! Think I might even keep him. Thanks, sir!

  8. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    143 points from the top of my ML. Leader has Martinez (whom I also have). Wilson, Robbo and Jack, get in there, boys...

  9. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just realised Grealish hasn't scored since GW10...

    1. tuturututu
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Bringing Maddison for him two gw's ago turned out great!

  10. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any midfielders 6.5m and under worth considering?

    1. Boom XhakaLacaSaka
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lookman/Gundogan

    2. Party time
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Gündogan & Lookman

      • tafrère
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Gundogan
        Saka
        Raphinha
        Harrison
        ASR
        Lookman
        Soucek

        A lot.

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Majority of those are old flavours of the month gone stale

      • fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, much prefer Cancelo to Gundo though and that locks me out of triple City since I have the great man Raz.

    3. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Surely worth the hit if KDB is out a few weeks?

      KDB and Wilson --> Rashford and Vardy

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I'd go Gundo and Kane

        1. xHaTr
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Asking for trouble bringing in Gundogan if you ask me. Will be the latest podence/foden fad

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            The stats don't agree with you and Gundo is not part of the front 3. He isn't in rotation roulette with Mahrez, Sterling, Foden, Jesus, Torres etc. He has also started all of the last 7 league games.

            Gundo and Kane is the far better option if you ask me.

            1. xHaTr
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Very confident that Rashford and Vardy comfortably outscore Kane and Gundogan over the next 5

      2. Assisting the assister
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Gundog's a trap surely

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He isn't. He's playing in a different role this season to last. His stats are extremely good as well.

          1. SimonOwen
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            His underlying stats are good, his score on FPL is good, so I am on the gundo bandwagon, I am sure now he will be benched, however I have bench issues myself so don't mind the occasional non appearance.

      3. Assisting the assister
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        ok going with your view - many thanks

    4. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      KDB out then Gundo is a great option... Will likely be there most attacking kid (might be even with kdb) and likely on pens.

      1. tuturututu
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I see this but who will fill his spot then? Fernandinho? It would be so cool and effective for City with Gundo in front of Rodri and Fernandinho..

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Could be a mid of rodri, Gundo and bilva or Foden. Overkill with fernandinho especially with next 3 fixtures being bottom half teams

          1. tuturututu
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yes that's true. Bernardo is in a decent form he could play as #10 with Sterling, Foden and Jesus around him?

    5. BHA_Seagull
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Have exact funds to do JWP to Pogba
      Yay or Nay
      Seems good value currently.
      Alternatives would be Gudojan or Grealish

      1. xHaTr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Grealish 100% better

    6. deathcabofdevil
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hoping Salah (TC) tonight will save my GW

      1. built_this_city
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        me too but he wont

    7. Pukki Blinders
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      What big hitter to replace KDB with? Vardy, Mane, Kane? (and no Gundo isn’t a big hitter)

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Why does it need to be a big hitter?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          What’s the point in having 5.0+ million lying in the bank?

    8. Rbyrne95
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I've already took a -4 to get in De Bruyne and now hes injured for next 2 weeks. Should I just bench him or get in a replacement of say either Gundogan, Rashford, Saka/Auba, barnes etc. for another -4. I already have Soucek and Alioski on bench

      1. HashAttack
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You have to sell him again - Always hurts but it would be wrong to keep him, and lose money

    9. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Nowhere to hide for Aguero owners.

    10. Reeker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer Kane over Son but it's best not to over complicate it and just go KDB to Son to avoid an extra transfer having to be made to get Kane

    11. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Could've done with a bb in my 4 man draft league lol. DDG, AWB, Gundo and Maddison. 53 points on the bench

    12. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      442 the new template? Something like this could do great.

      Martinez
      Stones Dias Justin Coufal
      Son Bruno Gundo Salah
      Kane Antonio

      1. Pukki Party
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Chelsea have good fixtures too next 5.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Should do well with their next manager 😉

    13. Pepeye
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo or Bilva great City choices as 3rd selection

      1. aleksaa2
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you rather have?

      2. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Gundo

    14. tafrère
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      In the last four matches, Gundogan has more shots (15), shots inside the box (12) & shots on target (5) than Grealish (3/3/2) and Maddison (8/3/3) combined...

      With West Brom, Sheffield and Burnley next, what is not to like ? Plus he's on pens while KDB misses out.

      1. tuturututu
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Really can't see how to fit him in my midfield consisted of Salah, Bruno, Rashford, Sterling, Maddison

        1. tafrère
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe United double up in midfield is too much ?

          1. tuturututu
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Just for SHU. After that game I can downgrade rash into Gundo

        2. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Replacing Sterling would be a good start...

          1. tuturututu
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Just got him as differential for next 3 fixtures

      2. SimonOwen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        There are alot of non belivers, and time will tell who is right, I like him especially with the KDB injury... dont shout too loud as you will be damned if you do (everyone gets him) and damned on here if he doesnt perform

      3. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        This. Great option

    15. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who to sacrifice for Kane next week?
      Antonio,Watkins or Bamford.

      Alternatively go KDB > Son and keep the 3 strikers.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Bamford looks done.

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Might get a double in 23 though.

        2. tuturututu
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Why? Because he blanked one game?

          1. Catastrophe
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yes - you got it, because he blanked one game.

            Leeds look really poor and his ceiling was already very low

            (Bamford Owner)

            1. tuturututu
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              I am also Bam's owner and Leeds just need a reset and he will banging again

              1. tuturututu
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                Be*

              2. Catastrophe
                • 15 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                They do - but will they get it? Who knows - I'm sceptical. Surely you'd prefer Antonio, Kane, Vardy (all doable assuming a KDB downgrade)

              Rubbish, ceiling is never low with Leeds always looking to attack games

                Entitled to your opinion 🙂 I prefer to go by facts though (no score above 8 in last 12 games)

          This. Instead of Vardy to Kane I can keep Vardy and sell Bamford for Kane in GW21

    16. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So everyone is doing KDB -> Gundogan and then figuring out what to do with all the spare $?

      1. Rbyrne95
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Gundogan, Maddison, Rashford,Grealish. Cant decide.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Think I will just have ESR 1st sub with Vardy, Kane and Antonio up top. Salah, Fernandes, Son, Gundogan.

      2. tafrère
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        20: KDB > Gundogan
        21: Saka > Grealish/Maddison/Pogba

        Still £ in the bank afterwards though.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Certainly makes it more interesting. Arsenal assets aren't bad for the DGW, but think I'll need to get Maddison and Justin in alongside Vardy. Hoping to 'avoid' Grealish for now, and don't really fancy Pogba.

    17. Rbyrne95
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Any KDB replacement worth taking a -8 for? (already had -4 to take him in)

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        sorry?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          He's done his transfers too early. Schoolboy error.

        2. Rbyrne95
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Already had made transfers (-4) to get KDB in for next GW. Now that he is out for 2-3 week I'm wondering:
          if there's any player worth taking another hit to get in? or no further transfers and start Soucek or Alioski

          1. Catastrophe
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            You have to write your -4 off, surely the question is, is there anyone worth taking a -4 for? I'm going for Gundogan, if that's any help.

            1. Rbyrne95
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              Yeah, very true. I'm thinking to much about the lost points instead of those that could be gained this GW. Wonderful life of FPL, I'm still Top 30k with all three chips so I suppose easy enough to make up for.

              1. Catastrophe
                • 15 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                If you're top 30K then just go with your gut instinct which must have been spot on so far!

        Oh no

      4. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        You took the -4 to get him in for WBA?
        I'm confused why you would be bringing him in for next week when you didn't have him for the DGW?

        1. John Nerdelbaum
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Of course he would have done well against WBA but he had Palace and Villa at home in the DGW.
          Just seems a bit strange, a bit like me not having Salah and taking a hit to bring him in before he plays tonight

          1. Rbyrne95
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            You seem to be deliberating about past choices which I cannot change, if you are curious, its because I couldn't afford to without taking several hits; I left Son in place instead. However, I was going to used my BB but the rearranging of games affected that. So I planned to get him in for WBA, but, yeah, early transfer has buggered me there.

            That's why I was wondering whether to take another hit to get someone else in; whether to leave for this gameweek and have a sub play or hold completely.

            1. John Nerdelbaum
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              OK, so you've taken out Son for KDB? What other transfer have you made?
              He has a hamstring tear so it looks like he is a doubt for the Pool game. In that case he will miss West Brom, Sheffield United and Burnley so you can't leave an 12m asset on the bench for that time.
              I would probably sell him this week but depends on who you have to sub in for him

              1. John Nerdelbaum
                • 13 Years
                5 years, 1 month ago

                oh I see you've got Soucek/Alioski. Not too bad, I'd probably start Alioski and then ship KDB next week.
                You'd probably want a City mid this week and next though

                Yeah, perhaps KDB to Gundogan/Maddison is the move, I just think WBA will park the bus same as last time.

                No I haven't actually, is it good?

      My 3 City for next GW Dias Stones Gundogan

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, will get Gundo to have the exact 3.

      2. fc_skrald
        • 10 Years

        Think I will only have him as vice captain - but if Bruno is benched he will hopefully do the job 🙂

        1. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          I'd imagine a solid chance Bruno could come on as a sub if he's benched

    20. Big Hippo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Also, will we find out DGW26 and BGW29 fixtures this weekend right?

      1. Big Hippo
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nope. R5 is Feb 10th for anyone thinking the same

      Hands up who is doing KDB + someone to Gungodan and Kane

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Nah

      2. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Gundog now, Kane GW21

      3. PrestigeWorldwidewidewide..…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        It's an early thought

      4. popey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        me - works out well as was loosing at fundraising for Kane

        Will do KDB > Gundo this week

        next week have funds for either Soucek > Son
        one of Bam/Antonio/Watkins > Kane

        Happy for Gundo to be a 3 week punt for fixtures, likely being pens and limitted compettion in the middle makes him look fairly assured of minutes (can't see Rodri and Fernandino needed on pitch at same time for these fixtures)
