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

      Yes DCL time please....Richarlison screwed me up enough lately in my ML. My two main rivals have him.

      With that hairstyle, he doesn't deserve to be on the score sheet.

  4. el polako

    No James again, another dull laboured performance from Everton ahead of us.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      Siggy benched, no great either.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Yeah, not much creativity there without those two

    How bad did Bam's injury look?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Looked like a dead leg / knock to the hip. I'd say impact injury but you'd be best just waiting for the press conference update.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cool. Would hate to lose a BGW player and no good candidates to replace him with ATM.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Antonio the only option really

          1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah, true.

    When is the GW starting?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      19.00 when Man City line up is released.

      Cancelo, Stones, Dias, KDB, Sterling, Gundogan all potentially starting, which will peak FPL managers' interest.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Ok. Setting my alarm. Thank you!

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1 out of 3 is still decent!

        1. Botman and Robben
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Silly me. Dallas is last on my bench.

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            I have Struijk there!

            1. Botman and Robben
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 1 month ago

              We should learn how to play this game. 🙂

                Start paying one of those Patreon sites?

                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 1 month ago

                  I'd rather not play well for free, that pay and still perform badly.

                  1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                    • 9 Years

    DCL + Digne - Big scores required

  11. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Double Everton defense here, which basically means a McNeil goal somewhere around minute 5, innit?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      Ouch, can I have the lotto numbers for Tuesday 🙂

  12. Iceball

    DCL Richarlison and Digne time!!

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Dyche masterclass incoming. No Siggy and no James contributes.

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        God I hope not, but that line up looks pretty void of creativity.

        Maybe Digne will have to be the creative outlet

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Yes. Don't see who else will!

    2. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years

      Treble everton? Thats brave.

  13. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years

    DCL & Digne. If there was ever a time to go mental. Today is the today.

    Amen.

  14. sandman58

    Not seen any footy today but any news on Bamford??....what is his injury??

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cha cha hip

  15. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I can 100% garantee that both Stones and Cancelo will play as I have Dallas first on my bench

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Times are tough.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Not really, Dallas Bamford Coufal on bench

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You never expected them to autosub.

          1. WVA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            Neither did anyone when they got Souceks goals off the bench, all luck so we'll see if I get any.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years

              FPLuck

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Benched in the last game. Should play. But who knows?

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Cancelo has been awful so might get dropped for Walker but you just know he'll come in for 1 point the week I have a clean sheet on the bench, never had lucky bench points in my life

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          And what if both play and score? I am sure you would not want Dallas then. Just wait for the game to happen!

          1. WVA
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 1 month ago

            They wont

  16. grumpyman
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hope it’s the headless-chicken goal-shipping version of Burnley that turns up for my Everton treble-up here.

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    No JRod or Siggy

    Digne(c) hopefully on set pieces

  18. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    any hopes for digne and DCL?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Well yeah, you’d hope, if you own them.

  19. mezza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I hope Digne makes me regret not being brave enough to captain him

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I had it on Digne most of the week and for some reason switched to Pereira(c) about an hour before deadline. Now I've made a lose-lose scenario for myself.

  20. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Every time I see digne’s name mentioned, it reminds me that I own Diagne with a similar name and that he got me a whopping 8 points over the last 4. Defo my worst transfer this season.

  21. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Dominic Calvert Lewin, you were born to score 5 goals against Burnley today. Go on, son. Fulfill your destiny.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think he is sporting a proto-mullet.

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So, does he retire after the game?

  22. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    DCL will haul. Top of my mini league has him vice with his captain not playing according to reports

    1. It's Fergie Time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      So will Digne, since I sold them both

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who is the reported non-playing captain?

    3. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Who is his captain?? I hope is not Salah

  23. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Come on Pope!

  24. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Did I only get 3 extra points for playing Guaita over Martínez? Laaame

    1. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Better than Mesiler's 11 points on the bench

  25. james 101
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    So what’s the latest on Kane?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Fit firing and in some form of his life

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks!

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Practicing diving in a pool tonight probably

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I read he had a ball pit installed in his garden for that.

    3. Saosin
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Spotted warming up in his backyard

  26. james 101
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Question for those of you who still have your wildcard and benchboost.

    When are you currently planning on using them?

    (I’ve used my FH and TC chips already)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Probably need all the fixtures.

  27. Vazza
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Digne limping?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hope so, limping out my team tonight, absolute dog crap he is

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    DCL goal incoming

  29. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I have effectively 4 players against Burnley:

    DCL + Richarlison + Digne + Digne

    Should hopefully break double figures 😐

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Umm, i have some bad news...

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Timing

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Double figures optimistic?

  30. LSK
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone got Wood?

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Slightly personal...
