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.

GAMEWEEK 29 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Begovic, Keane, Godfrey, Holgate, Coleman, Allan, Doucouré, Iwobi, Gordon, Gray, Richarlison

Subs: André Gomes, Alli, Rondón, Calvert-Lewin, Mykolenko, Tyrer, Patterson, Townsend, Lonergan

Newcastle United XI: Dúbravka, Krafth, Schär, Burn, Targett, Willock, Joelinton, Bruno Guimarães, Fraser, Wood, Almirón

Subs: Saint-Maximin, Manquillo, Murphy, Longstaff, Lascelles, Gayle, Ritchie, Darlow, Dummett

    I thought I picked Pickford this week on WC for all his doubles 🙄

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Everton been awful mate, still catching covid is poor luck from a differential pick

  2. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance of a Richarlson hatrick?

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      None

    Kulu,Ramsey,Kane(c)
    worth a -8?
    technically a -4 because I have 6 men atm

  4. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Short term or long term?

    Tempted to do Digne to Soyuncu so I can field 9 this week, but when he's fit, would go for James long term and have a back 5 of TAA Robbo Cancelo Rudiger James.

    Go for Soy or play the long game?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I personally think 8 is enough this GW

    2. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn’t for him

  5. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores more points?

    A) GW30: Amartey (BRE) +
    GW31-32: Havertz (BRE, sou)

    B) GW30-32: Barnes (BRE, mun, CRY)

    FH33 & WC34.

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You can't be thinking of selling Havertz for Barnes?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No I’m thinking whether I should get Barnes this week or free up the cash to get Havertz next week.

    calling all Leicester fans...who's the right defender to buy if you can't afford pereira? thnx

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not a Leicester fan, but feel Schmeichel is the only safe bet when it comes to their defenders.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        In what world is Schmeichel a safe bet?
        Not this season.

        1. The Philosopher
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          For the guarantee of starts, I meant

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t buy any Leicester defenders

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Fofana and Evans played then you'd be fine, but I have not had a Foxes defender all season - we've been garbage at the back..

  7. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    -8 to field 9 players:

    A) Foden/Weghorst/King -> Barnes/Toney/Jimi

    B) Foden/King/Broja -> Martinelli/Toney/Jimi

    C) Foden/King/Broja > Ramsey/Laca/Toney

    Cheers!

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A, but with only a -4(no Toney). -8 in a BGW rarely reaps the rewards.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B of those.

  8. AC/DC AFC

    Anyone else sent the FPL survey?

    The % runs to about 52% then on the final free text response completes to 100%.

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

      I saw ‘enjoying fpl?’.. decided I didn’t enjoy it and then never opened it

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You could have told them in the survey.

        An option for improvements and free text responses are in it too.

  9. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    White or Leicester defender long term?

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Amartey a good value punt

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      White

  10. Bob B
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Keep Luis Diaz & Jota in Draft FPL?

    Which one would you move on if so to bring in a player like Barnes with doubles and covers blanks?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sell Diaz

  11. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    Come on Fraser, do something.

    1. The Knights Template

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 10 Years

          And who would you lose? Not sure there’s the upside for a FH net point gain?

  17. g40steve
    • 8 Years

    Iwobi is woeful

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Willock is worse...no effort whatsoever

  18. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Frank should get on the pitch himself

  19. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Iwobi - execrable.

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

      I believe they paid around 30 million for him.

      1. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Stealing a wage

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

          I'm not sure what he did at Arsenal that made Everton want him.

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Billionaire playing at picking team

  20. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Robbo and King > Doherty and Toney for a -4? It'll give me 8 players for GW 30

    Sa
    Doherty/Kilman(TAA/Cancelo/Holgate)
    Coutinho/Saka/Son(C)/Raphinia(Salah)
    Toney/Jimi(Broja)

    So is gw33 going to be a bigger double than 36?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      36 will probably be the biggest still

  22. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Digne replacement Thomas or Fofana?

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Willock ain't getting no attacking points today

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    2. fedolefan

      Literally one of the poorest games you'll see. They can't create a single chance.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Was just thinking this.

        Flat out bad.

        Everton seriously look Championship standard, but Newcastle haven’t looked much better.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years

      Flattering

  27. Golazo1357

    4 years, 1 month ago

    Planning to WC in GW31. Pick one of the following for GW30.

    Barnes (just played full 90 today), Podence, Raphinha, or some other player? Don't have the funds to get Maddison in.

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Did Maddison play today ?? how did he look ?

      1. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He came off the bench on 60'. But I did not watch. Surely he starts vs Brentford at this point, though.

  28. Vote Joke
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How many hits to take for next week? I only have 6 players, 7 if Bowen plays, but 5 if he and Digne don’t make it. The players I’d bring in are Arsenal and Spurs and will stay long term.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I set about bringing in players a couple of weeks back, 3 Arsenal, 3 Spurs etc

      1. Vote Joke
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I didn’t.

    2. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bowen's almost certainly not playing.

  29. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Acceptable for 30, no chips or hits, unless I bin Digne?

    Sa,
    Doch, #Digne, Kilman
    Saka, Kulu, Raphinha, Ramsey,
    Toney, Kane, Laca
