Digne fit to start but King only among the subs despite Calvert-Lewin absence

Two sides with a pair of fixtures in Double Gameweek 24 meet on Merseyside this evening.

Fulham are Everton’s visitors, with kick-off at Goodison Park at 19:00 GMT.

The hosts are missing Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Jordan Pickford (£4.8m), both of whom were ruled out by Carlo Ancelotti on Friday – but the duo could be back for the visit of Manchester City in midweek.

Another Everton asset who was carrying a flag in Fantasy Premier League, Lucas Digne (£6.1m), makes the starting XI tonight.

Ancelotti has made two changes from the Toffees’ previous Premier League outing, with Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) and Seamus Coleman (£4.8m) recalled.

Michael Keane (£5.1m) and Calvert-Lewin are the men to make way.

Despite Calvert-Lewin’s absence, new singing Joshua King (£5.5m) is only among the substitutes.

As for Fulham, deadline day signing Josh Maja (£5.5m) makes his full debut and takes the place of Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m).

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.5m) misses out after testing positive for COVID-19.

Ola Aina (£4.5m) for Antonee Robinson (£4.4m) is the only other change that Scott Parker has made from the Gameweek 23 draw against West Ham United.

Calvert-Lewin featured in the top three for both FPL transfers in and out in Gameweek 24, with those Fantasy managers making an early move to recruit the England international left short-changed by the forward picking up an injury in the EFL Cup in midweek.

Richarlison (£7.9m) picked up some of the slack, with 347,604 Fantasy bosses making the move for the Brazilian.


Everton XI: Olsen, Coleman, Holgate, Godfrey, Digne, Doucoure, Andre Gomes, Rodriguez, Davies, Sigurdsson, Richarlison.

Fulham XI: Areola, Tete, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Aina, Reed, Lemina, Reid, Loftus-Cheek, Lookman, Maja.

    I didn't get Digne for the clean sheets anyway...

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why did we get him?

      1. djman102
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        For all those assists to DCL

  2. Gudjohnsen

    Wow, City should absolutely destroy this Everton team.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Cancelo?

    Hope GundoGOAT is fit to play this Everton defence

      So do I, but fear that he won't start. They can't risk him imo.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I think that tight groin means at least one week rest.

  4. Salah’s Sonnet

    Leeds don't have a double after next week do they?

    1. aleksaa2
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

      1. Salah’s Sonnet

  5. ivantys

    Fulham deserve this

  6. acidicleo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Has Maja bandwagon started?

  7. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Huge questions for 26 is Salah vs Son. Can’t see using all that money saved from going Son over Salah. Also, still feeling bad about possibly not owning Salah.

    1. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool are a finished club and Salah is not going to outscore Son.

        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Finished club hahahah

    2. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      As a Liverpool fan I have no confidence for the run into the end of the season and think holding Salah isn't a must.

    Me when Antonio bags a brace tomorrow

    Some save points would be nice before the inevitable CS loss, Areola...

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

  13. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Digne equalizer, Areola pen save and 1-1 FT too much to ask for?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's a fantasy football, so nothing is too much

  14. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What are the chances of a match for AVL in 29?

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fairly high chance Villa-Spurs goes into 29

  15. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Exact cash and free, Go full send?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          look at his social media, he posts immature stuff all the time. just his sense of humour

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            And good on him!

            The fun police are out justifying their existence as usual

        3. Dirty Harry
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Haha who honestly cares. Why do people need to be judged for a bit of fun.

          It's not hurting anyone.

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Right?! Feels weird wanting more from him already but could be huge if he plays

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Do the team thing and and let Raz score a brace

    3. AC/DC AFC

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

    David Moyes also confirmed forward Michail Antonio is on track to be involved after recovering from the fatigue that saw him miss Tuesday's trip to Old Trafford.

      Big willy style

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cue 1 point cameo with Coufal and Soucek hauls on my bench.

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      5 min debut followed by injury?

    4. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years

      Free willy now.

  23. badgerboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Which minute will Digne receive his obligatory yellow card?

  24. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Fulham well on top.

    No shots for Everton?

    Bodes Well for Man City and less so for Burnley double.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Everton have looked knackered and disinterested since kick off

  25. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    At least Everton had the good grace to be awful. Thoroughly deserve to be losing and Digne was never getting any points!

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

    I have a deja voux from last autumn. Pretty much everything is hard to predict. The only difference is that MCI is in form and they can be trusted. But everything else is difficult to predict.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Random every year ; this year is random x Y

  27. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Do we reckon Dias returns on Wednesday?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yup

  28. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Everton are awful.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      One man team

  29. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Painful viewing - should have bench boosted even with the DCL and Antonio flags.

    Could have been Martinez, Areola and Lowton points better off :;

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      🙁

    2. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wow

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Well done for seeing your BB plan through anyway

  30. balint84

    A) Dunk (preparing bgw)
    B) Vestergaard (double next)
