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

    The vague promise of a DGW30 will still keep Everton players lingering in teams.

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

      I brought 2 in and captained one this week

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

        Early days. Digne has plenty to offer going forward at least.

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

          He won’t get anything, he is absolutely useless

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 1 month ago

          Last assist was GW 24, before that GW 18

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

            Essential GW30 then

    Atleast cs didn't get wiped out in extra time

    So Lowton to Digne was the expected downgrade 🙂

    Last got Digne in just before trouncing at Newcastle in GW21. Played him twice. Benched him once. Sold on WC for Lowton.

    Digne can get stuffed!!!

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Ffs surely not another dcl blank

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

      It will be, so glad I don’t own

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

      Trolling again! Has a few week period of getting pts, then a few weeks of nothing, even when the fixtures are ok, rough with the smooth with dcl

    Selling Digne this week looking good so far.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Mad move, but whatever

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

        Why mad?

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

      Eve don’t do many cs, just looking at digne for returns

  8. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Are there any good picks anymore?

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

      Pick the most illogical players for the week seems the winning strategy last few weeks

      - Leeds defence this week
      - Fernandes last week

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

        Leeds attack was the illogical one- defence was merely bold given Chelsea attack

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

    how is this team 6th so rubbish

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

    Honestly, F Everton and F this gameweek

  11. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Everton with JRod are like Villa without Grealish

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Without

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

      Siggy usually a decent replacement for JRod but with neither they are hopeless

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It's a double edged sword. Without JRod in the lineup they're forced to play Davies or Gomes or both.

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

    Digne free kick denied for lame advantage

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Also, why is every game so boring? No Fans? Too many games?

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

      Covid

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

      Too many games. With Euros this summer, then World Cup next, it;s just going to get worse and worse.

    3. Calculated Risks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Viewer burnout maybe? I miss the days of 4-5 matches at 3pm Saturday...the rollercoaster of emotions isnt there as much with single matches

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

      No fans, I enjoyed it last season but this one it’s been atrocious mostly. I won’t remember hardly any games from this season compared with ones in the last.

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

        Past*

    5. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Still been better than the start stop last season

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

      Too many games

  14. Calculated Risks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Awful advantage

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

    Everton is so weak team...how in earth they can be 5th in league

  16. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Burnley dressed as Arsenal away and playing like the Henry era.

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

      Or like AC Milan (van Baasten era)

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

    Digne took himself out of his FPL team this week

    1. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Replaced himself with Wood. (TC)

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

        Lol

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

    Knew it was trouble with no JRod or Siggy in the side. Optimistic DCL & Digne owner...sigh

  19. Scholes Out For Summer

    “Gary Neville’s Salford has won the EFL cup”

    Carra: “Well done Gary! First trophy he’s won without Sir Alex”

    The bants are on point

  20. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years

    Gomes and Tom Davies are really ordinary.
