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.

    Is Kane a must have on WC for the double? I'm finding it hard to get alongside Salah, Bruno, Son.

        Well I want to keep the main stays that I’ve had for a bit whilst brushing up on the outskirts of the team.

        Martinez
        Stones - Shaw Dias
        Bruno - Son - Gundo - Maddison/Grealish - Armstrong
        Kane - Bamford - Watkins

        This is just off the top of my head for what I imagined but defo need these confirmations ASAP, I wouldn’t even need to change a lot so even WC could potentially wait?

            All eyes on Gundogan and whether he will be fit. We probably gonna know better on Tuesday

                    He's a joke of a defender anyway.

                All own but only some

                C and some TC

                It’s a season defining moment in some mini leagues

                I always lose on these FPL strokes of fortune

            -4 on hamez went well. Jesus wept that was a terrible everton display. Worst I can remember in years and years. Goes to show how energy plays a huge part in both a mental and physical performance. Made Fulham look like Bayern after a two weeks rest in the alps.

              That’s putting it lightly. I turned over to the golf after the second goal.

                Absolute shocker mate. Need to learn that sitting deep only works with outlets on counter - pace and width. had neither. Playing two number 10s and gomesh with an out of season Richarlon rattling around. Jaded.

              You may as well have brought in Willian.

            I remember watching Championship play-off final between Fulham-Brentford and i was thinking not again Fulham,not this boring team with one of the worst defences of all time(i still remember how bad Cyrus Christie was in the 18/19 season) in the PL.This team is a completely different thing.Total transformation from Parker.Well done.

              I’d forgotten how frustrating he is to own. Should have played Raphinha!
