Fantasy Premier League managers will have their eyes on two centre-forwards as Everton host Aston Villa tonight.

The two clubs are set to play twice in Double Gameweek 35 and can offer some nicely-priced assets across the park.

But Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.5m) and Ollie Watkins (£6.6m) are the already popular names, owned by 27.0% and 25.5% of managers worldwide.

The former has has just one attacking return since Double Gameweek 26 so will need to up his game tonight to convince new investors ahead of the next deadline.

By comparison, the cheaper Watkins has produced two goals and two assists in his last four.

The Villa man is supported by an attacking-midfield trio of Bertrand Traoré (£5.8m), Ross Barkley (£5.8m) and Anwar El Ghazi (£5.2m) at Goodison Park.

Meanwhile Matt Cash (£5.0m) returns to the side following suspension.

Michael Keane (£5.0m) also returns for the hosts after a leg injury but is fit enough only for a place on the bench.

Lucas Digne (£6.1m), Ben Godfrey (£5.0m), Mason Holgate (£4.8m) and Seamus Coleman (£4.9m) staff the back-four tonight with Allan (£5.2m) and André Gomes (£5.3m) protecting them.

According to Everton’s media team, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.9m) and Richarlison (£7.8m) will provide the width while James Rodríguez (£7.7m) was due to support Calvert-Lewin going forward before he injured his calf in the warm-up. Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) is his replacement.

Gameweek 34 Line-ups

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Godfrey, Holgate, Coleman; A Gomes, Allan; Sigurdsson, Rodríguez, Richarlison; Calvert-Lewin.

Aston Villa XI: Martínez; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Cash; Luiz, McGinn; B Traoré, Barkley, El Ghazi; Watkins.

Elsewhere in Gameweek 34

Chelsea’s defence continues to churn out clean sheets, registering a third in a row as they saw off Fulham 2-0 at Stamford Bridge.

However, Thomas Tuchel is still a fan of moving the goalposts as far as Fantasy returns are concerned.

César Azpilicueta (£5.9m) and Marcos Alonso (£5.7m) were among the surprise benchings unable to receive rewards for the shutout.

Kai Havertz (£8.2m) delivered on his recent potential as he scored both goals against Fulham.

They came from his recent switch to a false-nine, flanked by Timo Werner (£9.2m) and Hakim Ziyech (£7.9m).

Mason Mount (£7.3m) is still ticking over, adding his second assist in four matches in his fourth successive Premier League start. Arguably the latter is an achievement worth appreciating considering Tuchel’s rotation policy.

Bonus points:

  • 3 – Kai Havertz
  • 2 – Andreas Christensen
  • 1 – Thiago Silva

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

      it's 2-1 villa

    2. Sloane426
      • 6 Years

      Lol

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

      Haha

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Hat-trick?

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

    Everton’s defense is really poor

    1. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah but cant do much about that rocket

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

    Siggy punt a waste of time so far then

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

      Well you got him mainly for next week. Me too

  7. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford should save that.

    Went Pereira over El Ghazi......

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

      Sorry, a decent keeper would save it

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

      Pereira will outscore him this week - Wolves conceding 4 home to Burnley looks very promising for WBA

  8. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Siggy useless

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

      Close, but no siggar

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

    ElGhazi for DGW?

  10. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    OK, so maybe I should not be planing to get an EVE defender.

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

      Why would you even want to do that?

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

    I hope that guy who was debating on El Ghazi I saw on here brought him in.

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

      I was 0.1 off so went with ASM lol

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

        To be fair absolutely everybody I asked said Pereira over el Ghazi even with the double

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

          I would have said the same tbf

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      It was him or Pereira for me....

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

    Bamford & Pereira to Watkins & El Ghazi is tempting

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

      Bam is pathetic

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

        When he’s off he looks garbage yeah.
        No Raph is really effecting him it seems.

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

          Maybe or maybe not, Bamford is Bamford with or without Raph

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

        He has been superb this season tbf. Imagine seeing his end of season goals and stats prior to the start of this season

      3. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He just needs Raphinha.

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

      I'll copy this

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

      El Ghazi seems really underrated. Impressive guy (almost) everytime on pitch.

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

        Selfish is a great way for fantasy.

  13. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Some awful subs by Ancelotti...

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

      How dare you insult King Bernard of Delph.

      1. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe you could make a decent player if you combine them all, doubt that though...

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

      Doesn’t seem to have a lot to play with.

      1. The Train Driver
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, bench is very poor.

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

      He is useless. I really thought he was a good manager but he is mediocre at best

  14. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Subbing Watkins for Nacho went well...

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

      2 points loss

  15. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Wort using wc for next gw? If so is there a template?

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

      Give us you log in so we can just manage your team as well

  16. RogDog_jimmy

    5 years, 1 month ago

    Crazy Digne with 3 baps conceding 2.

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

      Are u watching? Created the most chances

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

        I am! Just seems weird.

        No one player is dominating for sure.

        And they haven’t been great chances. Lots of choppy things.

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

          Apart from the assist i can recall 2 passes that really shd have been put away. A couple of others were half chances

      2. Gudjohnsen
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        DCL 2 baps?

      3. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 1 month ago

        He also conceeded two and lost his team the game lol

    2. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I think he deserved it totally... but I’ve got him...

  17. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Digne shooting from 25 yards out wide instead of crossing it in the last minute, well done

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

      He's been crossing all game...nobody can finish

  18. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Watkins 2 bonus?

  19. not_astarte
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    How are those bps looking lads?

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

      Almost totally illogical as always

    2. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Digne 3 baps suits me

  20. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Digne even worth bringing in?

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

      He's the type of player you bring in and wait for 5gw to see some outcomes.

    2. Nightcrawler
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      With this everton defence ur basically paying 6m for a midfielder that only deals with assists. Ur call

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly Everton looked poo

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

      He actually played really badly too

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

    Villa take a 2-1 lead back to Villa Park in the Cazoo shield

  22. WVA
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Who gets 2 baps, donkey or watkins?

  23. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is there anything in the rules preventing players throwing up their team mates for a corner? Similar to a throw on in rugby.

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

      I remember a number of seasons ago Andy Carroll springboarding of the back of one of his teammates fir a free kick into the box. It looked pre-planned

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

    Week off to a good start here but have of course peaked too soon.

    Not sure 5 in the big match tomorrow with irrelevant Kane C and Lingard is very optimal 🙂

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

      I stuck with Vardy Iheanacho Castagne, couldn't have gone any worse, incredible result really considering we were down to 10 so early. Glad you've had a good start!

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

        That was a cracking defensive performance for sure

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

      Way to go.
      With Alonso and Fofana being crap my start ain’t great. Mendy was ace.

      Basically keeping pace with those around me - still got some chances of gains and not many chances of losses.

  25. Dirty_Harry
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Is Reece James even worth keeping with a double against MCI and ARS?

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

      Doesn’t seem like it. But mightn’t be the biggest fire to put out.

  26. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else been stuck around the same OR for the past 10 GWs? It's a few thousand up then a few thousand down.
