Everton are the latest Double/Triple Gameweek 35 team off the rank, with the first of two matches for the Toffees this week taking place on Sunday afternoon.

It’s West Ham United up first for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, with kick-off at the London Stadium at 16:30 BST.

There are no surprises on either side regarding the starting XIs, with West Ham unchanged from their 2-1 win at Burnley on Monday.

Ancelotti has made three alterations following the 2-1 loss at home to Aston Villa last Saturday.

Michael Keane (£5.0m), Yerry Mina (£5.5m) and Tom Davies (£5.2m) are back, with the benched Mason Holgate (£4.8m), Andre Gomes (£5.3m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) paying the price for some unconvincing displays against the Villans.

Recalls for Keane and Mina likely means that the blue half of Merseyside will be using a wing-back system, with Lucas Digne (£6.2m) and Seamus Coleman (£4.9m) deployed in more advanced roles.

The fit-again Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.1m) returns to the visitors’ matchday squad for the first time in two months and is among the substitutes.

There is no James Rodriguez (£7.7m), as expected, with the Colombian a possibility to return for the rematch with Villa on Thursday.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Coufal, Dawson, Diop, Cresswell, Soucek, Lanzini, Fornals, Lingard, Benrahma, Antonio.

Subs: Balbuena, Yarmolenko, Bowen, Ogbonna, Fredericks, Johnson, Odubeko, Coventry, Randolph.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Godfrey, Mina, Keane, Digne, Davies, Allan, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

Subs: Holgate, Delph, King, Doucoure, Iwobi, Nkounkou, Bernard, Gomes, Olsen.

PREVIOUSLY IN TRIPLE GAMEWEEK 35…

There were points all round for Manchester United’s five most-owned attacking assets in part one of their Gameweek 35 triple-header.

The Red Devils came from a goal down to beat Aston Villa 3-1 on Sunday afternoon, with Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), Mason Greenwood (£7.2m), Marcus Rashford (£9.6m), Edinson Cavani (£8.0m) and Paul Pogba (£7.6m) each registering an attacking return apiece.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£5.7m) claimed the assist for Greenwood’s goal but it was an otherwise forgettable day of owners of United’s defenders, who once again came unstuck against a side outside of the top ten.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s troops have played 18 matches against teams currently in the bottom half and have kept just five clean sheets.

And the loss of a shut-out was compounded by an injury concern for Fantasy managers who have Harry Maguire (£5.5m) in their squads.

The stopper hobbled off in the final quarter of an hour to end his remarkable run of never missing a Premier League minute for United.

His manager rather unhelpfully said after full-time:

Hopefully [the final] will be OK with Harry. I don’t know. We need to check it. It might be a few weeks or a month – we don’t know. It was his calf or lower leg. I think the player landed on him and he twisted something.

His fitness is very good – he’s robust. But, today, it looked like the boy landed on him and he twisted his ankle. I don’t know how serious it is. He might be available on Tuesday, he might not.

It was a miserable day for owners of Ollie Watkins (£6.5m), too, with the Villa man sent off for two bookable offences and now set to miss his side’s second Double Gameweek 35 fixture against Everton on Thursday.

Bertrand Traore (£5.8m) had earlier broken the deadlock for Villa to claim his tenth attacking return of 2020/21.

    FT 1-0 to Everton. Absolutely beautiful result for FH team this week

    Brought in DCL and Digne
    Got rid of Coufal and Lingard.

    Coufal hitting the post and Lingard YC were absolute icing on the cake, simply lovely stuff.

    1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 7 Years

        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I see Leicester losing to Chelsea for sure, they could beat spurs but it all depends on how manu set up next game.

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years

  14. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Hi....already got lingard. Is adding antonio for the final 3 too much west ham?

    Looking for nacho replacement to go with Kane and dcl

    Thoughts appreciated. Thanks

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I am considering exactly the same transfer. Or Bruno to Mahrez.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I need to lose Bruno too!

        1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          An angry City team looking to close the title against Newcastle might be the answer. The question is which City mid.

  15. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    DCL and Pickford getiiiinnn

  16. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    not great as a DCL and Lingard owner, really needed that being 1-1 or DCL getting another, moving up 3k so far. yawn

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Me too. But all in all one good return out of two players is ok with me.

    2. Tango74
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Why did u not play a DGW instead of Lingard ?

      I can understand playing Kane or premiums

      1. Tango74
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Doh ESR!

  17. Duke Silver ☑

    3. GENERATION X

  23. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 7 Years

    84 with 16 to go

  24. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    A good differential would be to pick a sure starter (there is no thing) for City vs Newcastle next GW. Would think Torres nailed to start and one of:

    Mahrez/Bernadro/Gundo/Kun?/Foden.

    Basically anyone but KDB and Sterling imo. Possibly Foden.

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      KDB interests me.
      Going to look at schedule from here out - feel like Pep will want to keep his first team fit and ready to go for CL final. Can’t rest all the time.

  25. Weeb Kakashi

  26. TorresMagic™

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Anything is possible.

  27. justaguy9
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Anybody else think ole plays a strong team vs Leicester? Any chance of rashford starting again?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Should be a strong team important fixture even with Europa.

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      My guess is VDB, Bruno, Greenwood & Cavani

  28. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I don't understand why people are picking on Lingard! He worked his ass off in the game. He was as unlucky as the whole West Ham team!

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      THIS.

      There are others to criticize for blanking not Lindy.

    2. justaguy9
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He was on my bench. Just hope he regains his form from next game

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      He didn't get close to goal once as far as I saw and lost the ball every time he got it?

    4. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      was unlucky today and against a top defence

    5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      This.

    6. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I agree. The Lanzini/Soucek pairing wasn’t as effective today and then having to bring in Bowen didn’t help. No presence in the middle of the park.

      Just so over all these injuries. We can’t buy a trick.

  29. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    I had Lingard in on my WC - who instead?

  30. King Kohli
    • 13 Years

    9/11 returned on FH with Maguire and Zaha the only disappointments

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wow that’s a heck of a FH.
      Great work.
