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

    DCL has still been an awful pick, even if he was to get 3 this evening.

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Got him this week...nonsense

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If you got him this week and he scores 3, then that seems ok?

    3. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I mean logically, he’s a good decision. Had decent fixtures, potential to have had a double, decent stats. Only negative was the injury concerns to the creative players around him

    4. el polako
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      DCL will always be a donkey.

  2. Fudgy

    What a dreadful week so far

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      The thing is your rank looks ok, but you make it sound like you've had 10 years of successive bad weeks.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Season over!

      2. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn't you be groaning with 10 points from 3 players - way below average this week.

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I've not got that yet, and about 17 on my bench. Just not a whinge.

      3. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He’s quit about 20 times this year don’t you know?

  3. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Beautiful goal by English Lewandovski. He was so obvious pick for this GW.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Dear........

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wash your mouth out after saying that..

  4. Isca Extremadura
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    1st DCL goal since his injury
    Another please

  5. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years

    Godfrey risking his life to save me a point.

  6. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    DCL ✅
    Richarlison ...
    Digne (c) ...

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Have you seen Everton at home much this season?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Should I have benched DCL?

        1. _Ninja_
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I was meaning defensively, with that capt pick.

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Digne is an attacker

    2. Party time
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Digne 😆

      Lol

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I'll be watching Leicester closely mate!

  7. Begbie.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    That's a penalty IMO

  8. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Opta stats on Richarlison passes:

    I'm sorry we have no stats on this. Richarlison doesn't understand the meaning of this word.

  9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    DCL 😎

  10. Forgetmeknot
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Rich over DCL this week off to a bang

  11. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Digne has been awful for me. In fact premium defenders full stop for the first time in ages. Been too stubborn to change

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Pope been trolling me since I got him. CS mysteriously have vanished.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      12 points in the DGW, can't have been that bad...

  12. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Absolute donkey.

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Add Mane’s goals to Firmino’s goals this season (and then add one more) and that’s how many Dom’s scored.

      Eeyore.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        11 in his first 11

        3 in 14 since (including today’s)

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          It’s lack of service though.

          Everton are statistically the most clinical team in the league - as in their goals per chances created is the highest in the league.

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Agree to disagree

            He’s rubbish

  13. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Burnley should have had 3 pens if the ref had half a brain

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      That seems to be an issue with all the Prem refs.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        surely nobody is that inept

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ball to hand

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      They're all checked by VAR so it's the opinion of 2 refs. 2 halves of a brain.

  14. Party time
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I can smell another DCL goal. Non owners beware

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      It’s Everton

      1. Party time
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. They are pants

    2. Nomar
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Nowhere to hide for us, right?

      1. Party time
        5 years, 4 months ago

        You can actually hide in a bunker hole 😉

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      That’s the patchouli stink from his man bun

      1. Party time
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Eew

  15. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    No wonder Burnley are shooting at sight. Pickford not much better than Kepa.

  16. Sloane426
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bamford injury look bad?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Not at all, was odd

      Severely hobbled

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Rich boys can't handle pain!

    2. People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Difficult to say. Hard impact injury. Maybe just a dead leg. Maybe something more. Who knows?

  17. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    DCL getting chances...

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Will he get played onside unmarked again? Only way he can score...

  18. zotter
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Two FTs. How is this plan?

    Gw 29. Salah / Cancelo to Bale / Veltman

    Gives

    Martinez
    Dallas. Veltman. Konsa
    Bale. Raphinha. Auba.
    Watkins. Kane c

    Then GW30. Auba to Bruno
    Gw31. Kdb to Salah

    1. OleBall
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If United beat Leicester in the cup, does Bruno blank gw32?

      1. zotter
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Good point. Might skip Bruno and go to Salah. Depends how Liverpool are looking

        1. OleBall
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          You'll find that out before GW30 anyway

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Digne now essential.

  20. Fred54
    • 11 Years

    3. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Tears of joy. Now they can justify the 4 point hit to get him out.

    4. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Oh, balls.

  22. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Pickford down. Advantage Everton

  23. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years

    Everton might win now

    1. Salah’s Sonnet

  24. EmreCan Hustle

    Virginia essential. What a save !

  26. Rainer

    Burnley playing some nice football.

    1. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

      See below.

  27. Moderately content penguin
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    This is pretty much how Burnley set out to play against Spurs no?

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Burnley playing like Bayern Munich

  29. JBG
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Did Burnley change manager without us knowing?

  30. Cruyff Turn
    • 14 Years

    I own DCL and Wood. Predict their total points at FT.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
