Following on from a dramatic finish in north London, we’ve got two more Premier League matches at 3pm GMT.

It’s not a stellar line-up: it’s 14th v 15th at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and 18th v 17th at the London Stadium.

TEAM NEWS

Changes are few and far between this afternoon but there are a few notable tweaks.

It’s one alteration apiece on Merseyside.

David Moyes makes his first real significant unenforced change since August, with Jake O’Brien losing his ever-present starting record and dropping to the bench.

Tim Iroegbunam comes into the side, so we’ll presumably see James Garner move to right-back.

Thierno Barry gets a chance to make amends for Monday’s horror miss and is again preferred to Beto in attack.

Iliman Ndiaye was passed fit by Moyes yesterday and starts as expected.

Marco Silva’s only alteration is a recall for Sasa Lukic.

Joshua King drops to the bench.

West Ham United, unsurprisingly, are unchanged following their excellent win over Newcastle United last Sunday.

There is one difference from Burnley’s last starting XI: Loum Tchaouna comes in for Josh Laurent. That will likely see the Clarets revert to a back four.

Lyle Foster is on the bench after recovering from illness.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Garner, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Iroegbunam, Gueye, Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Barry.

Subs: Lecomte, Muniz, Cairney, Adama, Cuenca, Chukwueze, Castagne, King, Smith Rowe.


West Ham United XI: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Kilman, Todibo, Diouf, Fernandes, Potts, Lucas Paqueta, Bowen, Wilson, Summerville. 

Subs: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Igor, Luis Guilherme, Rodriguez, Magassa, Soucek, Irving, Golambeckis.

Burnley XI: Dubravka, Walker, Tuanzebe, Esteve, Hartman, Cullen, Florentino, Tchaouna, Ugochukwu, Anthony, Flemming. 

Subs: Weiss, Bruun Larsen, Foster, Edwards, Ekdal, Lucas Pires, Broja, Mejbri, Laurent.

        sorry, didn't realize. C.Wilson

  2. NABIL - FPL otai

    Imagine Szobo looking highly appealing, who would you drop for him from this list?

    A. Semenyo
    B. Mbeumo
    C. Bruno F
    D. Sarr

    1. Stimps

      Sarr if any

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Sarr plays Wolves next, highly unlikely

  3. JBG
    • 7 Years

    WH 1st SOT... Both teams are so bad

  4. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

      • 15 Years

      West Ham were always going to score, shouldn't be a surprise for them.

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Burnley at home, not a surprise

  5. Scapegoat Salah

    Summerville A

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Perfect goal as a Bowen and Dubravka owner

  7. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Sell Bowen or Paqueta first? Need to lose one asap. I know Paqueta is suspended in GW12 but I have a bench.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Has to be both

    2. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      2 West Han players? Delete team.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        170k rank, delete yours 😆

    3. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Both.. easily both. But probably Mr.YC first.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Both asap. Pac in your case

  8. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Come on, Big Ears. Gizzus a goal

  9. WVA
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Can’t decide who is worse, Bowen or Sarr?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Probably Sarr, been awful today

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      You’re joking, Sarr is on fire

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        10 blanks in a row when I owned him last season and 3 in a row this season so far

  10. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Tarkowski yellow

    FFS

  11. Sgt. Schultz
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Gana G

  12. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Tarkowski off bar but no assist

    Everton score - Gana

  13. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Gueye G

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years

    Gueye G
    Iranbuna A

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      3-0 now…

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Probably woke up some ancient demon by reading those names quickly.

  15. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Tarkowski big fat 1pointer loading

  16. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Iroegbunam should have scored but got an assist for his hopeless attempt to kick the ball

  17. Never Captain Nicky Butt
    • 16 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Tarkovski avoiding both a goal and an assist well done

    1. Gazwaz80
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      And DEFCONs it seems

  18. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Perfect goals with no popular picks involved just need the Eve CS wiped as well

  19. FPL Sanky
    • 2 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Is KDH ever gonna score?

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Everton assets have been woeful outside of Ndiaye

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Best player in the first half non fpl terms, hope he reaches 12 defcon

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Hardly.

      Pray for defcon

  20. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Tarkowski trolling today

  21. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    VdV will be that player who will keep on ticking with 1-2 pointers and then get 15-20 points once in a while. Getting the right time to start him would be very difficult. Glad I sold after his 23 benched points.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Your ‘will be’ prediction is exactly what his history shows.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Yep agreed..sold him with WC10. Managed to get his 14 points in GW4 though

  22. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    How is Andersen on 2 defcons? I could swear he has headed away like atleast 5 crosses in the box, do they not count?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      They don’t count if they’re headed straight back to the opposition lol

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Gabriel's do

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 months, 29 days ago

          They have to go a certain distance I’ve read

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 months, 29 days ago

            Hence why clearances count, fpl too complicated now lol

  23. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    So how is Odbert sitting on 3 baps from a 45 min outing, 1 assist from am Xa of 0.36, 1 ambitious shot with an Xg og 0.04 and 4 defcons?

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      1 assist, 2 big chances created, 2 Tackles won, 3 key passes, 2 successful crosses and 1 foul won.

  24. TKC07
    • 6 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Ndiaye to Szob irrespective of this GW returns.
    Y or N?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Y

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Y sadly

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      yes

  25. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    I think selling Andersen might be on the cards. On the other hand, perhaps I should have started Senesi over him. However, is the rotation going to ever work...

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Perhaps benching both is something to consider.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      I would have, Villa haven’t been able to hit a barn door

  26. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Why no assist for Tark?

  27. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Has anyone here wished a content creator to do extremely well on any gw? This gw is first for me.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Why would you wish your opponent? Out of the 10M+ opponents. Tbh I dont mind them doing well, its just a game and am happy for them to do well financially.

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Which creator and why?

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      All of them. Salt of the earth.

  28. F4L
    • 11 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    everton CBs with not much chance of getting dc today, abit of shame

  29. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Szsoboslai or Sarr a better pick in the weeks to come?

    1. TKC07
      • 6 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      Sarr more explosive and more likely outcome Szob.

      But, If you own Mateta and no Liverpool attackers, I would get Szob.

  30. Thicksolidtight
    • 3 Years
    4 months, 29 days ago

    Currently on 0 from 0. Can anyone any better than that?

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      0 from 0 and saved FT?

      1. Thicksolidtight
        • 3 Years
        4 months, 29 days ago

        Well done, big lad

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      4 months, 29 days ago

      2 from 3
