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

    2. Bobby Digital

      Wait til you see the City lineup

    3. The Suspended One

      Don’t watch the rest of the match lol

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

    Fulham has to score in early minutes. This may help.

  6. mezza

    Maja is also benched surprisingly

    1. FantasyHero
      • 9 Years

      Lmao

  7. SADIO SANÉ

    Got KDB just so I could do the bullet proof KDB(c) Gundog(vc) thinking one would ALWAYS play hahaha

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years

      Ouch. Truly ouch

    2. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Harsh luck

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    With that lineup 5 to 7 goals for City are not out of the question me thinks

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

      Would be surprised if they get more than 2

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Seen this expectation so many times but Man City usually end up scoring 1 or 2
      Fulham aren't pushovers, in the last 6 matches they are joint 2nd for fewest big chances conceded

  9. FantasyHero
    • 9 Years

    Leggo (C)ancelo!!

      People say they want there bench to blank as you don’t have them and other do .

      Suddenly everyone wants their first sub on

    • Vazza
      • 5 Years

      Pope YC amazing

    • not_astarte
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      is it just me or cancelo is playing where i think is playing.

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

      Looking at that bench Foden KDB and Gundo most likely to come on after 60 if it's still 0-0

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

        Depends how the match is going aside from the scoreline.

    • MoSalad
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Let’s hope KDB & Gundo stay benched, Tonio & Cressy poised to come in. Shall Dallas is 3rd waaaaa!!

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

        Shame not shall.

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

        They won’t stay benched

    • FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think Mahrez is going to be fully rested and Foden will be subbed on. There will be probably one defensive sub involved Zinchenko or Walker coming in for Mendy / Cancelo.

      That leaves one of Gundo or KDB will be stuck to the bench but the other might come in replacing Aguero

      What do you think? Who gets subbed in? I am desperate for Gundo not to play and hopefully, KDB gets subbed in for a 1 pter if possible. IF not, it doesn't matter at least Gundo to be fully rested.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        can't work out what pep is going to do

      2. MoSalad
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on the scoreline

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

          Yes, but very minimal. The focus is on CL match, the scoreline in PL will not significantly influence on Pep's original plan too much.

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

        Gundog if winning, Kev if losing

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

          This. Kev if losing or if it's all square.

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

        Kdb will only be subbed on if they need him. No point risking him injuring himself. I'd say Gundo more likely to come on as he's not as important for them as kdb

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

        Haven't checked

        Who are the defensive mids? I imagine plan A is to leave both Gundo and Kev on the bench.

    • Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      The thinking outside of the box captain punt, switching DCL for Richarlison, proving annoyingly stupid of me

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

        Rarely pays offs to be different, as someone who went for Mount(c) I can feel your pain.

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I had Werner captain, Rich vice. On the plus side they’re currently both not far from top scorers in my team. FPL seems really difficult at the moment

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

      Lookman on the counter is a huge issue for that lineup

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

      I would love it, LOVE it if cancelo finally got his shooting boots on and knocked in a Massive haul

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        1+ xGI I think today

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

        Will be a cagey game imo

    • Jindaljain
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Last week Stones absence this week KDB & Gundo

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

        Yup 🙂

    • Salan
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Now PL match may be the 4th priority for Pep. The title is already in his pocket.

    • Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Been hoping all day that I don’t miss out on Bamford’s 1 pointer as first on my bench.

    • Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Cannot wait to never have Sterling in my team again

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

        I’m two seasons sober now, it's awesome

        1. Louis Van Gaalstones
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          One day I hope to be in your spot

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

      Don’t know why they don’t just stop the clock for stoppages to stop time wasting

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

        Matches would be 2+ hours.

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

          No because they would realise time wasting is pointless 😉

    • Jindaljain
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Pep thinks that he can win after Half time

    • Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Andy must be annoyed with KDB(c) and Gundo in his starting XI

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

        Well yeah you’d think

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

        That’s what the bench is for

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

        Andy should know the risks & benefits of going heavy on City.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Sounds very 'hindsighty'
