Coufal absent as Antonio and Benrahma lead Fantasy interest for Everton v West Ham

Gameweek 8 continues with Everton hosting West Ham United at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Everton, who have made a good start to the season under Rafa Benitez, make two changes from the side that drew at Old Trafford in Gameweek 7.

Yerry Mina (£4.9m) is benched after his late return from Colombia, with Seamus Coleman (£4.9m) replacing him in the starting XI, while Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) also comes in for Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) further forward.

Andros Townsend (£5.6m), who has been involved in eight goals in all competitions since his summer move, starts on the right, with Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) leading the line in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and Richarlison (£7.4m), who both miss out due to injury.

As for West Ham United, David Moyes makes just one change from Gameweek 7, with Ben Johnson (£3.9m) stepping in for Vladimir Coufal (£4.9m), who missed the international fixtures through injury.

Ryan Fredericks (£4.4m) also misses out again with a groin problem.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Godfrey, Digne, Allan, Doucoure, Townsend, Iwobi, Gray, Rondon

Subs: Begovic, Tyrer, Kenny, Holgate, Mina, Gordon, Gbamin, Davies, Dobbin

    2. JBG

      Would have been a huge differential in my team as well, if not for those false positive news.

      1. Kodap
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Well I made the move of bringing him in, prior to all of the news haha

    3. Thomas Magnum

      Called passion. Used to be a thing in football.

  4. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Son starts. Time for GW8 wildcarders to collect their points!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or 2 points

    2. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would guess a large chunk took him out with news circulating.

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yep for Mahrez like many others

  5. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Very annoying for those who had Son in their WC teams.

    Too much information can be a bad thing...

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I had him already and sold!

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You know what's coming...

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yup I do indeed, a KANE MASTERCLASS lol

    2. Zombiesmurffi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sold him for Mahrez 🙁

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very brought in Marhrez and Cpt , with Son was always on Salah

  6. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    You'd wonder how Eric Dier is in your team.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He’s not that bad at all - needs a good partner

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Bit like me in a way... incredibly fit that is

      2. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        More of a comment on Spurs in general this season - I'd be chuffed with 6 points.

  7. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Rondoff?

  8. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Time to sell Gray? He creates okay but not enough good quality finishers around him

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who knows any more

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rich & DCL not far away.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This then the donuts will be gone, iwobi & rondon

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Need DCL and Richa back asap, is annoying to watch without them it's like he's allergic to wanting to score always stays back or wider in the box

      • BIGREDDOG
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        If I owned id be happy tbh

      • Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        One more week then he's gone for Mbeumo

      • ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        DCL and Richy back would probably increase his output but as well increases his competition.

      • The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        With DCL coming back? I don't think so.

        1. DycheDycheBaby
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          And this too.

      • DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not yet. He has been unlucky that others haven't put away the chances he's created.
        And Watford at home next is a good fixture.

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Eubank scores. But you have to ask, where was Pogba in all of this?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        It wasn’t funny on the last page either 🙄

        1. BIGREDDOG
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yawn. People can look like other people. Virtue signalling at it's best.

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Except he doesn’t look like him

            1. BIGREDDOG
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Okay. So it's subjective. Nothing I said was bad and I think you and others know that. People jump on opportunities like this when really I've not said anything bad or offensive whatsoever. You might think it's a progressive way to go about things but that's your opinion. Don't be so quick to judge..

              1. Wild Rover
                • 13 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                The only think I was judging was your sense of humour. It simply wasn’t funny, certainly not worthy of a repost.

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Neither is every other post on this page.

      Bizarre foot movement from Rondon. I think he knew what he was doing there. V lucky

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Nah

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        My 4pt strike force is just to good

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Jimi Antonio for a combined 2pts for me. Ings getting 7 was good though.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 6 months ago

        2. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Everton look so dull.

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Missing 100m strike force

            1. Zilla
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              They spent 35m on Iwobi so..

        3. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          2 weeks without an attacking return other than Salah..

        4. JBG
          • 5 Years

          I still don't understand how Iwobi gets playing time for a decent PL side.

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years

            Him and ox possibky the two worst footvall players i have ever seen for a top half aide

              • 11 Years

            Took two injuries and a transfer to a Qatar club to get him in.

        5. JONALDINHO
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ffs had Son and Chilwell in initial draft but after Covid news went Dias and Mahrez. Already down 14 pts and Son hasn’t played yet…

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yep FFS

        6. Salah’s Sonnet

          I actually think Newcastle will be really up for this

          1. JBG
            • 5 Years

            Hope so.

            ASM masterclass being fueled by the crowd. Wish I had him now.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Me too, he lifts Newcastle so much, and with the new takeover etc, I can see a Newcastle win

          3. BIGREDDOG
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Me too. Hope players and Bruce get a chance. The new owner looks like Chucky grew up and turned into a human

              I reckon Sarr can score some consolation goals though........
