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

    Pep trialing this out with future CL games in mind?

    He tends to over complicate it when it matters.

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

      Yes like every time

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      They've the league pretty much wrapped up so it should be no real surprise that Pep is now solely focused on putting his best team out for the upcoming CL games i guess.

    What’s happened to that keeper Olsen?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Injured

    2. JohnnyRev7

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Injured? Got robbed/burgled in midweek with him and his family threatened with machetes.

      https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-56344192

      Probably not quite up to playing.

  3. OverTinker

    Please Gundo don’t come for one pointer as I mistakenly kept captaincy on you. Kane vc

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

      Very likely he will

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

      Gundo will come in, more chance than KDB do.

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

    So many lucky Dallas hauls off the bench now ... Sigh

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

      Nah I reckon both may come on for a cameo

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

        Hopefully for 1 pointers

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

          Would be glorious!

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE FOR THE LAS…
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Both will come on

  5. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Great. Sterling goes from trolling me with missed penalty, to DGW blanks to just not turning up.

    Never again.

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

      I’m 2 seasons sober now, it’s glorious

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

        I keep going back. I need help

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I learned this the hard way earlier in the season. Swore never again.

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

        I’ve been burned badly this season with lack of patience on players like Son / Salah. Just picked wrong player to back

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

    What a pathetic week so far, 11 points. WC can't come quick enough

    1. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd love a double figure haul so far.

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

    Pep has no respect for Fulham fielding such a crap team

  8. 1zverGGadeM
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Dont worry fellow Gundogan owners - Sterling, Foden, Mahrez are the ones to be subbed in 😉

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

      Hopefully

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling, who's not even on the bench?

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

      Sterling isn’t in squad

    4. 1zverGGadeM
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Just gorgot that 😀
      Its Garcia/Zinchenko instead of Sterling then 🙂

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

        forgot*

  9. HollywoodXI
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I’ve owned Sterling for five GW’s. He’s missed four of the last five games. How?!

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

      Proud to have owned him for his 2 pointer only, Feel like a winner

  10. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cancelo at wingback. Sexy

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo assist Jesus goal

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is today finally the day?

  11. Saka_me_sideways
    • 3 Years

    Just here for the pep roulette reactions... 😀

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

      Always a good watch 😀

    2. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Defenders are fine so most of us are too, Gundo's EO is insanely high anyways. KDB owners and cappers the main ones mudded, especially if he comes on which I think he will.

    3. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Never disappoints

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

        You’d think people would be used to this by now 😆

  12. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Home burgled I think

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

      The other gang paid him a visit.

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

    Kun, Ferran Torres and maybe Mendy to be subbed off at some point in this game.

    Gundogan will come on.

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Foden too

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

        Very probably.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He needs more subs for this lineup

  14. Gross Blank Point
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    20% of top 10k captained KDB, wonder if he makes a cameo?

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

      Everything crossed he does

  15. Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Real gamblers dont play in casino, they have 3 players from MCity!!!!!

  16. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hopefully Gundagon & KDB come on.

  17. Steinburg FC
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Can't wait to transfer out Sterling this week!!! i only kept him as he didn't play last time out...
    Bamford in for sterling and Dallas in if Gundo stays benched...

  18. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Forgot to change captain from Gundogan to Kane. That said Kane might not start either. The season of doom.

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

      If Kane can walk...

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

      Kane will start and haul

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Guaranteed if Gundogan comes on fir a point

  19. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks Pep

  20. Effe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Any sign of DCL equaliser?

  21. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Coleman on for 1 point.....
    Same as Digne :facepalm:

  22. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Aguero & Mendy won’t play 90 minutes, so 2 players are definitely coming on

  23. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    City line up more interesting than Everton game 😆

    1. Effe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It’s true

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Is that still happening?

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

        Game still on 🙂

  24. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    5-3-2 with Silva and Torres supporting Kun and Jesus

    Silva/Jesus haul incoming

    So many players he normally subs early... Torres, Kun, Jesus, Cancelo, Bernardo... be interesting to see what he does if Fulham sees out the first half

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

      Torres off
      Cancelo attacking mid
      Back 4

      Please

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo normally lasts - only subbed for being a naughty boy

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        True

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

      3-4-1-2 looks possible too.

      With Torres behind the 2 forwards.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        With Bernardo back with Rodri? Haven’t seen that much this year

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

    A mate of mine in competition in a mini league has captain on KDB and vc on Gundogan!

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

      Lol same here, he’s in the mud

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      First rule of 2021

      Always vc Bruno

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was close to Sterling c and Gundo vc myself. Went vc Son in the end....

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Do t gloat yet
      Anything can happen

  26. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else with KDB(C) + Gundo? Pain

  27. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    50 a good score this week I recon

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

      40

  28. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Think both Gundo and KDB will come on

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

      If 0-0 HT

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

    That last minute change of captaincy from KDB to Bruno was Nice

  30. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Gundo cameo, how likely ?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      65%

    2. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      42%

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Highly likely. Kun & Mendy won’t play the full 90

    4. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      75%

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Very if they need a goal.
