There may be a few more Stuart Dallas (£5.1m) auto-substitutions being processed in Fantasy Premier League this evening, thanks to a bit of unexpected team news in the final match of Gameweek 31.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m), owned by over one-third of all FPL managers, is absent from the Everton squad for the 20:15 kick-off, with an abductor problem the reason for his unavailability.

Carlo Ancelotti said ahead of tonight’s game against Brighton and Hove Albion:

In the last training session, Dom had a little problem on his abductor. He came here but this morning he was not comfortable so I prefer to leave him out. It’s the same with Allan and Andre Gomes – they are not 100%. I hope they will be available for the next game.

The Everton boss’s two alterations to his team are enforced, with Calvert-Lewin and Andre Gomes (£5.3m) both absent through injury.

Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) come into the side, with the Toffees including six recognised defenders in their line-up.

Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) and Allan (£5.2m) are still absent.

Earlier in the day, Everton confirmed that Jean-Phillipe Gbamin (£5.0m) is set for assessment on a fresh knee injury that he picked up in training.

Hosts Brighton are unchanged for the third game in a row despite losing at Manchester United last weekend.

Adam Webster (£4.3m) and Dan Burn (£4.2m) are both back from injury and are on the bench at the Amex.


Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, White, Dunk, Veltman, Gross, Bissouma, Lallana, Trossard, Moder, Welbeck, Maupay.

Everton XI: Olsen, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Mina, Digne, James Rodriguez, Godfrey, Davies, Sigurdsson, Richarlison.

    Sanchez, Ben White and Digne in this one. 0-0 please.

    DCL out is unbelievably good luck for me. A few rivals have him and aren't getting any decent bench points.

  3. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    No DCL
    No problem
    Cresswell points coming on

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Nice

  4. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    So it's Watkins in and Dallas still stays on bench...

  5. fr3d
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Raga's autosub section isn't updating. It has to be a big increase in Watkinses and Dallases sadly

    1. fusen
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I reckon it'll work on minutes played, not team selection. So I'd expect it to update after the first minute or so of the game

      1. fr3d
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        No, hasn't been updated since Saturday

        1. fusen
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Seems to be working when I check teams with DCL in

    Fair play to big Sam.. im not his biggest fan, but if he pulls this off, its some achievement.

  7. blauriecon

    TAA Neto > Phillips Son -4
    Yea or nay?

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      No

    2. istanbul05
      • 12 Years

      no

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      No

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years

      Nope

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I'll say yes because generally the advice here is bad.

      Except this comment is also advice.

      Headscrather.

  8. Gerd Mueller’s thighs

    No Madison, no problem....DCL on the bench.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Smiley no longer

  9. Netters2018
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Few questions i would like some feedback on.
    A) Will Kane and Son start both matches and play majority of minutes? B) Worth bringing Son in for a -8 as want him for remainder of season.
    C) Triple cpt Kane or take a punt on Son?

    1. blauriecon
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      A) Yes as long as healthy.
      B) Kane more consistent.

      1. blauriecon
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        A&B yes

        1. Netters2018
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Thanks what about C? Kane or Son for TC?

    2. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Everyone will say Kane on B but I think Son is better as more attacking and Kane spends most of the game in midfield.

      1. Netters2018
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        You mean C) as in triple cpt Son rather than Kane? Thats my thought worth a punt , could go horribly wrong especially with Kane EO.

        1. SINGH
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          sorry yes C - Kane is on pens but it's not like he gets a pen every match. If you are chasing then go for Son.

          1. Netters2018
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 12 months ago

            Thanks yeah i am chasing top 3 all have son and kane.. i mean it will cost me -8 to get Son in but i am the only one with the TC chip left so could work as they will both cpt Kane.

  10. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    maybe veltman will out score Dallas.

    1. SINGH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      hope for cleanie and 2 assists

  11. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    This is precisely the kind of jam I rarely ever get to taste, maybe once a season...DCL will be replaced by Dallas as first on bench.

  12. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Thoughts on Cavani on WC if going without Bruno?
    Had more goal threat than Bruno in the last 2. Looks lively. Surely starts every week with Martial out?

  13. Spg76
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Lloris -4? I wasn’t feeling the love when it was a free. He just doesn’t have a great defense around him and he hasn’t shone either this season

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Former owner here, occasional cleanse is overwhelmed by them conceding at least once when they shouldn't. Avoid.

  14. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Dunk 15 pointer would be good!

    1. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I got trossard and veltman left from Gw29

      -/

  15. istanbul05

    4 years, 12 months ago

    Stupidly dumped Lingard on my WC. Would you bring him back in for Moura?

    Mendy,
    TAA, Rudiger, Coady,
    Salah, Bruno, Jota, Moura,
    Kane, Vardy, Iheanacho.

    Forster, Mount, Holding, 3.8.

    1. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Moura 😆

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      How about this?

      Mendy
      Shaw Rudiger Coady
      Salah Son Maddison Jota
      Kane Vardy Cavani

      Philips Masuaku ESR

      Wtf is that Team Value

      1. Gandalf

        • 15 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        No Bruno the reason

  16. Stamford Bridge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Does anyone know where I go to get the next few fixtures for my team, where it's all in one place?

    Think it's put together by Ragabolly but I can't find it on LiveFPL.

    Much appreciated

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Where do you mean? On FFS, on the FPL Website, elsewhere?

      Seaso/fixture ticker in the sidebar/members area?

      1. Stamford Bridge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        None of those. Something Ragabolly introduced. It's either on LiveFPL or a standalone source he created. Lots of positive comments on here a month or two back.

        Tell me I'm not dreaming please Hazz

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          I haven't used the Transfer Planner as mentioned below.

          My mate built this add-on for Chrome which let's you preview the next 5 fixtures for your squad.

          https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/fpl-upcoming-fixtures/nkadfamcemopikkffdkhjbmpnhfdabgc?hl=fa

          Don't think this is what you mean, but just in case it is.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Transfer planner on LiveFPL does it I think.

      1. Stamford Bridge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        I think that's it. Very helpful. Many thanks for your response. And Hazz thank you too, I'll take a look.

        You both get an extra 10 points on your next gameweek's score 🙂

    3. Brehmeren

      It was a Chrome plugin. Can't remember who posted it though.

        4 years, 12 months ago

        If it was this, then it was me. Also in the Hot Topics, a while back. Link to post here.

          Cheers. I might have a look at it myself.

  17. Enzo the Baker

    Worth doing KdB to Bruno for a -4 this week? Looking at teams in my ML, everyone seems to have Bruno who could haul against a leaky Burnley.

    Front 8 is currently:
    Salah KdB Son Lingard Jota
    Kane Nacho 4.2

  18. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Chances of Lingard (NEW) outscoring Kane (EVE, SOU) this week?

    1. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I was wondering about this too... could be a sweet triple cap, and a good differential.

      1. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Go with your gut mate

  19. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Kane: TC or not TC?

    1. istanbul05
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      yes for me

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      I'm doing it

    3. BeaversWithAttitude
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Any better options between now and the end of the season? I'm not seeing it, but am open to suggestions...

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      +50% captain, yes 😉

    5. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Considering, but will some minutes be managed to due League Cup Final ?

  20. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Help.

    What to do with this mess?

    Leno Martinez
    TAA Coufal Saiss Azpi Rudi
    Salah Bruno Moura Jota Neto
    Kane Bamford Nacho

    0.5itb.
    After next week want to get JLings and Madison in for Moura and Neto

    But I'm short by 0.1, and Neto will drop.

    Just hold for now?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Bruno to JLingz

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      No idea how many FT you have, but what about downgrading Azpi? That's an expensive defence to bench one or two each week.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        Fair point
        Coufal to fodder?

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 12 months ago

          Depends how much he needs by the time he's ready to make transfers, but Coufal to fodder will get less than Azpi to a 4.something defender who plays

  21. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Worst GW ever
    0-0 tonight needed, so goalfest incoming!

  22. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Last week no-shows (and cameos): Stones, Cancelo, Minamino, ESR, Gundogan, (Son)

    This week no shows (and cameos): DCL, Minamino, ESR, (Gundogan)

    We're gonna need a bigger bench.

    1. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Yes have 5 subs and goalie like in real game

  23. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Why is the Triple captain called so??

    A captain gets 2 x score a triple gets 3 x, not six
    Surely it’s a +50% captain?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Double Captain would be confusing.

    2. Ginola14
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      3 X a players score is the same as saying tripled

  24. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    asking a different crowd 🙂

    thoughts on spurs rotation for southampton game few days before cup final ?

    think son and kane with start both games?

    thanks

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Spurs are six points off the CL spot so I can see Mourinho trying to save his season by focussing on a cup final. Kane should start, Son may still be feeling his previous injury (not the one sustained from McTominay)

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 12 months ago

        thanks biggsy

  25. janowsc
    • 11 Years

    Lots of sweet jam this weekend, but can anyone beat Aiana for Dias? I mean it’s double jam...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      Rare, high quality jamj.

  26. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    I can feel the green arrow shrinking by the minute with all this autosub jam and impending 0-0 tonight!

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 12 months ago

      It won't be a 0-0. I have Sanchez & Digne.

  27. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Very concerned by my kasper/Forster GK combo

  28. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 12 months ago

    Sanchez lol

  29. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years

    Net out for rest of season due to knee injury....

    1. Gazwaz80

      Neto

  30. Lallana_
    • 12 Years

    Would you bench boost?

    Forster TAA Rudiger Davis (4.2)
