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

      Only 3 this time; Stones and Cancelo back, probably sterling also

    3. pingissimus

      My 4 in are

      Sterling
      Rodri

    How is DCL’s BAPs so low? Is it because it is before 60 mins?

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

      Big chances missed & fouls.

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

      Lots of giveaways, big chance missed, foul or two

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

      He's doing lots of BPS negative things.

      Check how many BPS a forward accrues for scoring a goal alone...

        Yeah that’s what I mean, shocked how low!

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      strange, I have seen subs come on playing less than 15 mins and get over 20+ after scoring

      kdb got insane amount of bps whilst having one of his worst games. I can't take the BPS seriously

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

        -3 per big chance missed. -1 per foul. -1 per shot off target.

        Adds up fairly quick when he offers little else in a game.

      2. Hazz

        Not all players are as good as Murphy.

    At what minute is Digne going to get his yellow?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Right after his goal for taking his shirt off

        Really hope so 😉

  10. estheblessed

    Which mid for next GW?

    A) Saka
    B) Auba
    C) Lookman
    D) Raphina
    E) Bale (already got son and Kane tho)

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Bale

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years

        Triple spurs eh

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

          One of them will score the others will assist & vice versa

  11. DAZZ

    Richarlison is awfully overrated by most Everton fans. He’s decent but lacks a lot of qualities.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

      got a great dive and 10/10 for acting

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Agree. Lacks so many qualities

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

        Things i i can’t knock him for is work rate, pace and effort. But as far as attacking qualities, composure, finishing, he lacks a lot.

    Richalison is so greedy. Always makes the wrong team decision

          Don’t want to see Cancelo

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

            he's at risk now, I think for me it's time to sell. Today could be the pushing point

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

      Time to get rid of Cancelo then. Even if he starts at RB here there's just way too much competition at full back at City now.

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

        Also Mendy starting reduces City's chances of clean sheet.

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 14 Years

          agreed, time to get rid I am thinking with the games incoming

    Been listening to the commentary in the background and it feels like every 5 minutes DCL is being mentioned where it sounds like it's a big chance.. and yet, nothing since the first goal.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      He is rather useless ya know

    2. aborg

      Yes, he is missing lots of big chances and that is why he keeps losing his bps !
