Everton take on Arsenal in the final Premier League match of Gameweek 15, with Fantasy interest mostly centred around the visitor’s backline.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

The Toffees, who are winless in their last eight Premier League matches, make two changes to their starting XI, with Yerry Mina (£4.9m) and Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) replacing Lucas Digne (£5.1m) – who is not among the substitutes – and Salomon Rondon (£6.0m).

As a result, Ben Godfrey (£4.8m) is expected to fill in at left-back in Rafa Benitez’s 4-2-3-1 formation.

For Arsenal, Emile Smith Rowe (£6.1m) misses out completely, with Mikel Arteta revealing over the weekend that the England international is dealing with a minor injury, and that it was a factor in his substitution in the 3-2 defeat to Manchester United last Thursday.

Bukayo Saka (£6.2m) starts in his place, with Kieran Tierney (£4.7m), Granit Xhaka (£4.8m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3m) also coming in for Nuno Tavares (£4.3m), Mohamed Elneny (£4.4m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£9.7m), all of whom drop to the bench.

GAMEWEEK 15 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Mina, Godfrey, Allan, Doucoure, Townsend, Gray, Gordon, Richarlison

Subs: Begovic, Kenny, Holgate, Delph, Iwobi, Tosun, Gomes, Gbamin, Branthwaite

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Lacazette

Subs: Okonkwo, Holding, Cedric, Tavares, Lokonga, Elneny, Pepe, Nketiah, Aubameyang

    Gameweek saved by second on bench Gray, well I never.

    Sanchez
    Trent Cancelo James Reguilon
    Salah(c) Jota Raphinha Smith-Rowe Gray
    Kane

    Steele Livramento Toney Scarlett
    2ft 1.2

    A) Toney and Raphinha to King and Bernardo
    B) Kane and Toney to Ronaldo and King
    C) Kane and Raphinha to Ronaldo and Bernardo (think it leaves me too short on the bench with doubts over Reguilon and smith Rowe)

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd take a hit.

      Kane, Toney, Raph > Ronaldo, King Bernardo

      1. No Professionals
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I’ve also thought that. But boils down to Kane to Ronaldo for a hit and that feels like one that stings

    38 - A game week straight from the devils toilet

  3. Chrisitis

    Gray lost 4 points in his celebration.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years

      This is such an FPL comment.

      1. Chrisitis
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Livra also lost 4 points because of stupid Ward Prowse running to the line

  5. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Keep Son and Vardy, skip United for now and do Toney Raph to King/Dennis Bowen?

    Could go BSilva but probably prefer Bowen for this GW

    Rambo/Foster
    TAA/Cancelo/James/Alonso/Duffy
    Salah/Son/Raph/Gallagher/Mbeumo
    Vardy/Toney/4.4

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Raph and Toney to King and Bilva

  6. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Probably already mentioned on these pages, but huge Covid outbreak reported at Spurs' training ground...!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Hope my son is ok

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Oh no it isn't!

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Covid outbreak yes, but how do you define huge?

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        That was the adjective used in the report that I read. Lol.

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Apparently 6 players so far.

  7. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Everyone bringing Bowen in has provoked me into bringing back Antonio for Toney.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Why? Not exactly been scoring has he

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Just feel he will again soon.

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          When though?

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No chance I'll be bringing him in.

  8. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone know if Toney is definitely missing at the weekend?

    1. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yea he is

  9. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Son and ESR/Gallagher
    To Mount and Jota worth it for free..?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Why on earth would you get rid of Son

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Covid.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Lol he hasn't even got covid has he?

        2. Lord of Ings
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          It’s just rumours
          Remember last time there were rumours about son and everyone went Kane over son on wc?..
          Wait for more information
          Patience

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            It's like taken as gospel on here that "oh god Son has Covid!" when in reality we know nothing. Makes me laugh, taking Son out because "oh noo a covid outbreak!", typical FFS

            1. Bubbles1985
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              I meant i have covid.

              🙂

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                So you're getting rid of Son because you have covid?

                Makes zero sense

                1. how now brown cow
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 3 months ago

                  Unless he's been snogging him.

                  He’s joking.

                  1. Salah’s Sonnet
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Didn't even get it, poor attempt at a joke lol

        3. HonestBlatter
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Wait for the confirmation

          1. Voodoo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Son isn’t one of the rumoured is he?

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

    A Kane Raphinha to Ronaldo Bowen -4 for team below or
    B WC and get front 8 of
    Salah Jota Foden Son Bernardo
    Antonio Dennis Locadia

      B

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      depends what your WC defence would be!? presume you wouldn't keep Alonso

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Think I could just keep if I stick to 4.8 m keeper and get Williams

        4.8 4.0
        Cancelo Alonso TAA James (Williams)

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          * probably Guaita Bachmann if go down that route but may just not keep Alonso and go Reguilón if fit

        2. DandyDon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Sounds good to me then!

  12. ChelseaKTBFF
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jiminez and Douglas Luiz (5th mid)

    to Dennis and Galagher?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Dennis & Bowen?

  13. Viper
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    For this week & going forward

    A. Ronaldo & Dennis

    B. Vardy & Foden (-4)

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A imo. Son had many blanks, but did ok in last two. Ronaldo can be explosive in next two, almost C material imo.

  14. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Any coincidence that Everton win as soon as Doucoure is back? Maybe their players are worth considering again?

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Go for it.

    2. Old Bull
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He did seem to make a bit of a difference to the team last week too. When DCL returns it will get interesting

    3. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      As soon as I saw Doucoure I knew they would be massively improved.

  15. Lord of Ings
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Do you guys reckon Gundogan and foden start at the weekend?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Better guesses in 24 hours time.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Foden maybe, Gundogan no.

  16. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I know he was only up against Ben White who an u14 striker could bully but how good was Richarlison?

    Millimetres from a hatty, bad Iwobi miss at the end too after his hold up and pass.

    Fixtures not great but when they turn and DCL is back we'll have some nice different options.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Already earmarked gw 18 for a good Everton run, was obvious their bad form was down to having almost every good player out at the same time

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Well Rafa got a bad run. Them two back and Digne is needed!

          1. how now brown cow
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Isn't Digne always a season keeper? Or have people given up on that one?

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Haha, I don't mean for FPL, for their side.

          2. Lord of Ings
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Never getting Digne the troll
            Would only consider DCL once he’s back

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              DGW Digne? 😮

        2. Qaiss
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          They only spent £1m in the summer as well, whilst everyone else was strengthening. Couldn’t understand the Rafa out shouts recently, they need to stick with him and let him build something.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Everton fans seem a bit more bonkers than other fans is what I've noticed

              Somehow think they are too good for a champions League winning, la Liga winning and Europa League winning manager!

              And when the players were fit he was doing fine, least he deserved was a chance to improve when they return but they wanted him out asap

              1. Baps Hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                There must be something behind that has not been leaked.

              2. Qaiss
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                I think they’re alright tbh, they’ve been patient for a long time. But they’re totally wrong about Rafa, they won’t get anyone better than him. They may need to realise that it’ll get worse before it gets better though.

      • Flynny

          Exact money for - 4?

          Toney, Mbuemo & Raphina to Antonio, Bowen & Bernardo

          Current team:
          Ramsdale
          Trent Cancelo James Alonso
          Salah Mbuemo Jota Raphina
          Dennis Kane

          Subs: Foster, Livramento, Allan, Toney

            I would.

          2. DandyDon
            • 7 Years

            Sounds Good!

          3. Old Bull
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Nice

          4. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Kane to Ronaldo should be higher priority imo.

        4. DandyDon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Best combo to bring in (for a -4) this week? Players on the chopping block are Reguilon, Raphinha and Hwang.

          a) BSilva + Broja (+0.3)
          b) Bowen + Dias (0.0)
          c) James + Gray (+0.7)
          d) Odegard + Richarlison (0.0)

          1. Podorsky
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Anybody know more about this Broja fellow?

            1. DandyDon
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Not to much but he'd be on the bench mainly for my team at that price, seems a better finisher than other southampton players and will play when fit I think.

              1. Baps Hunter
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                That was basically enough for me to get him earlier. Needed the money for CR7.

          2. Baps Hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I see no point ditching Reguillon now as a priority. So A.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Which GK to play next week:

          Guaita (EVE) or
          Ramsdale (SOU)

          Leaning towards Guaita now.

        6. Salalalalah
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Still in LMS and 5 off of 1K ..... unchartered territory !! Captain Son helped ....

          Should Sa > DeGea be next move
          or move Toney and Vardy out?

          1. DandyDon
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            so many good options at the mnute keeper change feels like a waste. I have Sa too. I also captained Son!

              Sa doing his job so far but fixtures are just awful now, DeGea maybe worth it but Toney and Vardy may be priority to replace. Good job on captaining Son, it paid off this week!

            Toney definitely an issue, given he's out for 1 or 2 GWs.
            Wolves not really that bad. I'm not one to use FTs on GKs really. Better just to leave for the season and invest elsewhere. Sa will be one of the top point scoring GKs over the whole season, I reckon.

              Toney out for who though, can't get to anyone decent without a hit?

          Thoughts on Kane + Toney + Raphinha to Ronaldo + King + Bilva for a -4?

          A) D.Luiz & Raphinha > Bowen & Bernardo (-4)
          B) Mbeumo & Raphinha > Bowen & Bernardo (-4) 1.1 m itb
          C) Kane & Raphinha > Ronaldo & Bernardo (would have to play Mbeumo)

                Even if you trust the site, read it properly.....

                "Silva is likely just being rested. after putting in some big minutes in recent games. With the group decided City will essentially be playing the youth teams Tuesday, Silva should be back before a clash with Wolves at the weekend."

                  Spot on Silva and Foden nailed on for Wolves

                  Who said I didn't read it properly? It says what it says. Hope he plays i have him. Also that site is better than most at predicting future line up.

            No. He will now certainly start because he is being given a break in Europe.

          Bowen to raphina and bench alonso or save transfer but risk being priced out

          Have 0 in the bank

            Probably go for it as isn’t Alonso out
