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’ll give Digne til after their next DGW then he’s gone

      No way he’s staying in my team after this

        He’s not really a priority for me. Can bench just fine next week, and then he could have DGW the next week

      Digne-gone

      Even when they win, they concede

      1. matiakez

        3 years, 1 month ago

        He's been such a trap.

  2. Cilly Bonnolly

    How’s Digne playing? Do Everton even look like scoring?

      There all garbage tonight.

  3. FPLtfs

    Richarlison looks so uninspired.

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I rage sold him for DCL after their last game
      Even though DCL got injured I don’t regret it

      He wants out imo

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

      I think he is such a sulky player. Always looks pissed off.

  4. ivantys

    King offside goal

  5. M00N
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Oh dear took out Aina instead of Holding for Mee. Damn you Parker for changing formation just as the double game week arrives.

      Losing your touch Bemba - IVANTYS beat you too it!

  7. Says

    Are we 100% sure King is not just DCL with a haircut?

  8. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I'm thinking Digne to Dallas instead of Cresswell! He has been such a poor transfer in 21 and it was for a hit!

  9. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    Need this Fulham clean sheet wiped asap

  10. Ninjaa
    • 13 Years

    Taylor to Dallas tonight before any price rise?

    Praise the lord

  12. Fudgy

    Ffs needed that goal

  13. dogtanion
    • 14 Years

    City will destroy this team

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

      This

  14. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    As a Digne, Decordova Reid and Richarlison owner, this isn’t going very well...

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

      Are you playing anti- FPL?

  15. Giles G
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Are there any good cheap midfielders to get on a WC for BB in 26??

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Very difficult question

    2. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not really

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

      Maja looks good for 5.5.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He's a forward

      2. Giles G
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maja is a forward

  16. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Maja on Wildcard hopefully with a double 26! Issue is there are too many striker options tho

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Should have a double with spurs

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

      Good for BB.

  17. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lookman,Tete and Reed played very good today imo

  18. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hold Fulham

      • 14 Years

      So 6.31pm Friday

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha yeah! Cutting it too close for me there

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

      Going to be a long week

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Certainly is! Gonna be like a deer caught in headlights all damn week!

  19. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Could do with a Gomes goal to justify Areola on my bench (Pope started, but have a feeling Fulham might actually do well at Turf Moor) now that the CS for Lookman has been banked.

  20. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking about these moves for a -8 try and get in a couple more DGW 25 players, yay or nay?

    DCL + Grealish > Ings + Raphinha

    Already did Justin > Dallas

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

      I think there will be plenty of goals. Having those 2 is a must as very likely to be involved.

    2. Aster
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why Ings bandwagon?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        DGW. Feeling like a bit of a flutter considering how open Leeds defence can be

  21. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Always knew Maja was the man to triple captain this week

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Look up

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yup, 1 min faster

  22. jungle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Am I the only one 100% lost as to where we are with potential DGWs and BGW29?!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not the only one no, can just prepare for it best ya can and look at the link above

    2. dogtanion
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Haha me too..got a bit bored of looking at coloured charts in the end

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

      Yes. 😎 I say that as we do have some idea but nothing is set in stone so it’s hard to plan or even a waste of tome planning when it could get ripped up if the fixtures fall differently to what has been suggested.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Think I’ll be up all night once we get confirmation planning it

    4. MikeS
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nope, heard it mentioned but don't know who's got doubles or blanks

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

      I have a vague idea that Spurs may have DGW26 or otherwise they may play Villa in 29...and assuming that City will be played at some point...other than that i'm lost haha.

    6. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same. All over the place. Original plan was to WC for DGW26 but now I’m thinking of taking a few hits to get a decent BB26 then a few more FT’s to prepare for BGW29. Activating WC for GW30 to repair my team.

      Not sure if that’s the right strategy but feels ok at the moment

    If KDB us back next week will that change Gundogan role ?

    Who do I drop for KDB?

    Kane Salah Pernandes ?

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

      Was scoring before KDB injury.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundogan has playing well recently and MCI gas been better without KdB, so I strongly believe that fit KdB won't have negative effect on Gundo. Yet his minutes can be managed more.

  24. Duke Silver ☑

    Hopfully Gundo's back for Wednesday. City gonna put this lot away early.
