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

    Will BSilva raise tonight? FFF have him raising but only 83.8 on http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/ which I find more reliable, what do you think?

      Few times this season early double rises have been predicted but it happens later in the GW. Not many left but he'd be on every WC this GW too.

      If the 0.1m matters just get him in, he won't be playing tomorrow.

      1. Baps Hunter

        0.1 matters sometimes, but 20x 0.1 matters imo.

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

      Probably not. Will soon though.

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

      Does it matter if he is goi g to rise today or tomorrow?

      1. Radzio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not so much but still would prefer to watch City tommorow, deciding between him and Foden, so more info is always welcomed

      2. Nomar

        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He may be one of those managers who likes to wait till later in the week to make transfers.

        1. Radzio
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Nah, Im flexible, not against early transfers just wanted to have extra info to do Raphinha to BSilva/Foden

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

    What should we do about the Alonso-sitation? Anything else I should look to change here?

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Alonso, Reguilon
    Salah, Son, Jota, Bernardo, Gallagher

    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale and White cleanie still on. Come on boys close it out

    1. Esalman
      • 16 Years

      Amen

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

    offside

  12. Will Kane
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Very unlucky Richarlison. Ramsdale cleanie still intact for now.....

  13. ClassiX
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Could be offside

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

      Amazon Prime showing this game as well as Sky?

      1. Will Kane
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        🙂

      2. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        😆 Streaming via Supersport - I keep forgetting it's about 2 mins behind the game...

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

    Damn! Need that Arsenal sheet busting!

  15. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    I'm a double arsenal defence, but that's a joke decision. Where are these thicker lines we were promised.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 4 months ago

        How thick do you want em?!

        1. jason_ni
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Good 2 foot should do it!

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        His shoulder was well off tbf.

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

        Looked clear and obvious without any lines

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Phew, but only a matter of time before the Arsenal Cleanie goes, and Townsend will obviously be involved.

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

      Ode G
      Tierney A

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

        Arrgghh, got rid of Tierney for Alonso cos I thought he was no longer first choice. Lesson learnt, do nothing each week

    4. Will Kane
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That's got to hurt for Everton

      1. Marvin.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I think they're just numb now.

    5. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Great cross!

    6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      NOOOooooooooooooooo

    7. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tierney essential!

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

        Tierney the man!

    8. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ødewagon!

    9. TopBinFc
        4 years, 4 months ago

        When does fpl bring in a free transfers for any player that has Covid? Harsh on those who have players unavailable

      • Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Tierney and Coufal are quite emphatically back

      • jai1212
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Considering that either Bowen or CR7 increases today I'll be priced out, do I do these moves right away?

        Kane and Raphinha >> CR7 and Bowen

        OptionB
        Kane/Raphinha/Saka >> CR7/Foden / D.Luiz

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Doubt Bowen will go up, but first option is enough

      • Duke Silver ☑
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Tierney the troll.

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

          Meh. I just want my Ben White cleanie off the bench for Toney.

      • tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Only Everton could go from 1-0 up at half time to 1-0 down at half time...amazing!

      • Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        You just know ESR would have been in that same position and scored.

      • Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That should get a few more Everton fans heading for the exits at half time.

      • Totalfootball
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Bernardo or Mount?

        1. jason_ni
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I can't go back to mount, was a bad breakup. 5 points in 4 games after I get him, and then once I sell back to back double digits.

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

          Bernado
