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

    Pep trialing this out with future CL games in mind?

    He tends to over complicate it when it matters.

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yes like every time

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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.

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

    What’s happened to that keeper Olsen?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Injured

    2. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      Very likely he will

    2. Salan
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo will come in, more chance than KDB do.

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

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

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

      Nah I reckon both may come on for a cameo

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

        Hopefully for 1 pointers

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

          Would be glorious!

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

      Both will come on

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

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

    Never again.

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

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

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

        I keep going back. I need help

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month 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
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Gross Blank Point
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I'd love a double figure haul so far.

  7. ivantys
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pep has no respect for Fulham fielding such a crap team

  8. 1zverGGadeM
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling, who's not even on the bench?

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

      Sterling isn’t in squad

    4. 1zverGGadeM
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

        forgot*

  9. HollywoodXI
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Cancelo at wingback. Sexy

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo assist Jesus goal

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is today finally the day?

  11. Saka_me_sideways
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Just here for the pep roulette reactions... 😀

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

      Always a good watch 😀

    2. Flair
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month 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
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Never disappoints

      1. Saka_me_sideways
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

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

  12. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Home burgled I think

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The other gang paid him a visit.

  13. el polako
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

    Gundogan will come on.

    1. A. PRISE
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep. Foden too

      1. Salan
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Very probably.

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He needs more subs for this lineup

  14. Gross Blank Point
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      Everything crossed he does

  15. Z
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  16. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Hopefully Gundagon & KDB come on.

  17. Steinburg FC
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      If Kane can walk...

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

      Kane will start and haul

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Guaranteed if Gundogan comes on fir a point

  19. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Thanks Pep

  20. Effe
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Any sign of DCL equaliser?

  21. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  22. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  23. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    City line up more interesting than Everton game 😆

    1. Effe
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It’s true

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Is that still happening?

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Game still on 🙂

  24. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 1 month 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
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Torres off
      Cancelo attacking mid
      Back 4

      Please

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo normally lasts - only subbed for being a naughty boy

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        True

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      3-4-1-2 looks possible too.

      With Torres behind the 2 forwards.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

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

  25. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

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

      Lol same here, he’s in the mud

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      First rule of 2021

      Always vc Bruno

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do t gloat yet
      Anything can happen

  26. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else with KDB(C) + Gundo? Pain

  27. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    50 a good score this week I recon

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      40

  28. Flair
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Think both Gundo and KDB will come on

    1. Jindaljain
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      If 0-0 HT

  29. Jindaljain
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

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

  30. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Gundo cameo, how likely ?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      65%

    2. GROBARI
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      42%

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      75%

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Very if they need a goal.
