Everton v Newcastle team news: Pickford ill, Calvert-Lewin benched

The 13th and final match of Double Gameweek 29 takes place this evening and it’s unlucky for owners of Jordan Pickford, who is absent from the Everton squad for the match against Newcastle United.

Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 19:45 GMT.

Pickford and loanee Donny van de Beek both miss out because of illness, with local media suggesting the goalkeeper’s absence is Covid-related.

Those two are among four players who drop out of the Everton starting XI, with Vitalii Mykolenko benched and Jonjoe Kenny banned.

In come Asmir Begovic, Michael Keane, Alex Iwobi and Allan.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is only fit enough for bench duty after illness.

Ryan Fraser, Emil Krafth, Joelinton and Joe Willock all return to the Newcastle starting XI as Eddie Howe also makes four changes.

Jacob Murphy, Sean Longstaff, Jamaal Lascelles and Javier Manquillo drop to the bench, where they are again joined by Allan Saint-Maximin.

    WTF is that cable tie made of? 😆

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Probably plastic reinforced with wire inside ?

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Hopefully not plastic if he’s meant to be protesting oil

    Not gonna lie, but why are the broadcasters showing this instead of panning away?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

    He's not even dressed as a superhero. Could've made an effort.

      He’s on 3 bonus though.

  5. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez -> Ramsdale
    Dennis -> Hwang
    (-4 to field 9 and save last FH)?

    Rafa Benitez not taking the sacking well...

    "Everton supporter needs to tie himself to the goal post to stop him from leaving the stadium early."

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

      Especially with no goals in 7 hours of play!

  8. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    The 2nd fan doesn't want to be there any longer than he has to 😆

  9. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why it takes 7mins to deal with that I don't know

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Poor bolt cutters.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Because they bought their toolkit from the BFG

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

      Bolt cutters are for hard steel not soft plastic.

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Finding thise bolt cutters took 5 minutes. They were difficult to find.

  10. Grande Tubarão

    Stewards must’ve been tempted to let the fan that got on to deal with the idiot to get on with it

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah mate the way he missed that punched whilst the guy was being held down by 8 people he would have sorted it right out

  11. Old Bull
    • 10 Years

    Bring back Erica Roe

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

      They were the days, no one remembers her flat chested mate 🙂

      1. Old Bull
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Better class of pitch invader back then

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

  13. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Digne definitely not available to play vs Arsenal ?

    If so is any player worth a hit to replace Digne? Currently I have

    Ramsdale (DDG)
    Coady Tierney (TAA Robertson Digne)
    Son Coutinho Saka Kulu Raphinha
    Antonio Jimenez (Dennis)

    Thanks 🙂

  14. Sharkytect
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So my player could be on for cleansheet points if they come off soon even though 10 minutes of that 60 were waiting around with no football being played.

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

    So what was that about?

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      watching Everton has strange effects on people

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Was wearing a T-shirt saying just stop oil, some climate protest

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Gotta be the Saudi mass executions the other day

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      " Just stop oil " on his shirt

    5. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Someone said it was the same guy who caused a scene at the Arsenal Pool game

  16. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Begovic on 10. Points for everyone

  17. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Pitch invader has 7 more minutes than DCL in a DGW.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      But only so far...

  18. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Richarlison play acting quite poor. Do these players realize how that looks when viewers see the slow motion replay? Just sad for me.

  19. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Ok mate we will stop oiling

  20. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Richarlison YC. More yellows than goals this season lol

  21. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I got my Wood goal last week. 4 pts this week. If Newcastle is unable to score ve Eve, I doubt Weghorst will do any better either. Wood to Gelhardt to get funds is on the cards now.

  22. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Amazon Prime probably hired the guy who tied himself to the goalpost to spice up the match

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I didn't realise it was on Amazon prime until I read this. I suppose I should be grateful I didn't know.

  23. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Are we still backing Barnes?

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Im on freehit so think going both barnes and maddison.

  24. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Stupid Pickford. Got ill in this banker of a clean.

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Alan Shearer is an absolute moron

  26. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Duffy to Kilman? Anything else for a hit?

    Ramsdale
    Doherty
    Kulu/Ramsey/Saka/Martinelli
    Kane/Jim

    Blankers: Foster, TAA, VVD, Cancelo, Duffy, Salah, Broja

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I have Kilman, but I think I'd like to offload him soon. May be decent gw 32 though.

    2. Bucket Man
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't take a hit. Beware Kilman place under threat from Boly now though.

  27. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Wood offside, almost scored...

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Great run from Almiron there

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      To the sideline to be replaced? Agree entirely.

  29. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Please assure me that Newcastle will concede

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Only if DCL scores

  30. Bucket Man
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Would appreciate peoples thoughts. Probably be a low scoring week anyway but. My FH is as follows

    Sa
    Coady, Reguilon, Tierney
    Saka, Son, Coutinho, Barnes
    Laca, Kane, Jiminez
    Eriksen, Cash, Pinnock

    Changed Schmeichel to Sa
    Two of three from Lacazette, Toney and Jiminez

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Kulu over Son

      1. Bucket Man
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks. I'm giving Son a chance though. Think he is due a goal. Even if Spurs fans say he is playing badly.

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        I would get triple Spurs attack on FH.

        1. Bucket Man
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 2 months ago

          Thank you for the suggestion. Think West Ham might make it a tougher game for Spurs then people think and would prefer to spread out my attack.

          Think I'm going to play the fixture with Jiminez we are poor at the back.
