Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison in three-man Everton attack

Owners of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) will be hoping he plays through the middle of Everton’s attack against Burnley this afternoon.

The Fantasy Premier League forward has been pushed a little wider in recent matches to get the best out of Richarlison (£8.0m), who has four goals in his last five league outings.

Carlo Ancelotti has typically deployed Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) behind the pair during that period but his recent ankle injury means the Icelandic international is fit enough only for the bench.

Tom Davies (£5.2m) is his replacement, but Abdoulaye Doucouré‘s (£5.2m) injury leaves Everton short in the middle of the park, so we may see him there alongside André Gomes (£5.3m) and Allan (£5.2m).

With James Rodríguez (£7.7m) still on the sidelines, it is up to Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) to supplement the attack, possibly from the right flank of a front-three.

If that is the setup Ancelotti has selected to face Burnley, then Calvert-Lewin is more suited to leading it in the middle than Richarlison, who had some joy on the left-hand side earlier in the season.

As usual, Burnley are in 4-4-2 formation with Matej Vydra (£4.8m) joining Chris Wood (£6.2m) in attack.

Dwight McNeil (£5.7m) and Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.4m) provide the width today while Erik Pieters (£4.3m) comes in for Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) who misses out with a hamstring problem.

Gameweek 28 Line-ups

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Digne, Godfrey, Keane, Holgate; T Davies, Allan, Gomes; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson; Wood, Vydra.

Gameweek 28 so far…

Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) had an immediate impact in his first start since Gameweek 22.

He won the first-half penalty that provided Crystal Palace with a 1-0 victory, forcing a handball from Darnell Furlong (£4.5m).

Harking back to the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, it was Luka Milivojevic (£5.6m) who dispatched the spot kick.

Owners of Chelsea defenders will have been satisfied with yet another toothless display from West Bromwich Albion.

They had just one shot on target on Saturday afternoon while chief creator Matheus Pereira (£5.4m) was substituted in the 63rd minute.

Provisional bonus points

  • 3 – Luka Milivojevic
  • 2 – Vicente Guaita
  • 1 – Joel Ward

      So sort of but not a 5-3-2.

      1. Pukki Party

  23. Deulofail

    Had Cancelo captain for much of the week but was convinced otherwise by people who had some reasonable points.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don't mind their points is that how you weigh up advice???

      Instead maybe. Have your own vague idea. Look at any advice weigh it up logically and make your choice. You pick your team not other posters. You have the final decision.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I weighed up advice. Chill

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Well you can't go blaming other posters. It was you was indecisive.

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I was convinced by people with reasonable points. I was decisive by following the advice. No blame assigned to anyone but me. I'm just telling it like it is, with, what I thought, was a little humour. Which is dead in the water now haha. Not sure why you're so hostile. Chin up mate

  24. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Oh that is poxy I have KDB as C and Gundogan as VC. I am not watching it now. Thought one of the two would start.
    😡

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Now that is pain

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Never C & VC same team

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Why? The match wasn't postponed. They aren't both ill.

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

          Sometimes you have to listen.

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

      2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I thought one or other of them would start. That was the thought process.

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

          By captaining 2 from the same side, you are automatically assuming the fixture goes their way. But As we all know, fixtures can, and do, go the other way sometimes. Therefore, split the captaincy’s.

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Makes no sense if you think X team is going to do really well against Y team. It is going to VC and C from same team.
            Particularly an attacking side like Man City

            Only argument against it (which you have not used) is suspension of fixture due to covid19 - seems to be under control now though.

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

              I’d rather pick a captain in a good side with a good fixture and a vice in another good side with s as good fixture. Ideally. I have picked C and VC from same side, of course, but have lost out when result went against me so nearly always split them now...

              1. Deulofail
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                What on earth kind of nonsense is this? This is mind-blowing.

              2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                I don't really get that. One time you picked a C and VC from the same side. a=And because of that one time you refused to do so again?

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

        I agree. Always split up your captain and vice from different teams. There are good reasons for this.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Go on...

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

            See above. Protecting against the negative fixture result

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Very hard luck. 🙁

    4. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yuk

  25. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    2/3

    Dias/Stones. Gundawg will come on for a 1 pointer.

  26. Jindaljain
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If Gundo & KDB no appearance then Bamford & Dallas in

  27. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Reckon Pep is underestimating Fulham here and will need KDB and Gundo by the second half.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Against tired legs

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo will be his creative force.

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

      I hope they are 4-0 by half time. No need to play them.

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

    Pep is a knob

    1. Tango74
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Why , we all know he plays pep roulette . You took a gamble picking or captaining. And it hasn’t to paid off

  29. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Pep's ended my season early again.

  30. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Dallas off the bench. Bruno VC. Could be worse

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

      Some sweet jam there.
