How Richarlison has adapted to centre-forward role at Everton

Richarlison (£6.9m) has made a mockery of recent suggestions that he cannot play as a centre-forward for Everton.

Two weeks ago we compared his first two performances in that position against his displays as a left attacking midfielder and discovered some discouraging results.

However, it appears both Richarlison and his manager Marco Silva were spurred on by the criticism. They stuck to their guns and persisted with the new role, and in the last two Gameweeks the Brazilian has registered two goals and an assist, averaging 10 points per game.

We are now revisiting the data to see whether or not Richarlison really has adapted to a striker’s role and if recent performances are sustainable or not.

    Re: Play Fraser or Richarlison?(playing Wilson too)

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Fraser

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Richarlison

    3. Rash
      • 6 Years

      Both

  4. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    So Maddy to Siggy is a good move? Sold Richa 2 weeks ago and not sure if I should get him back.

    1. billysupertramp
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Siggy is good pick up IHMO.

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      By all means take Siggy. Rich will punish you more.

  5. lordkippe
    • 7 Years

    Had a great plan and wanted to bank a transfer. Should probably get rid of Maddison now. Any ideas ? just .1 ITB. Maybe a hit ?

    Ryan ( Hart )

    R - A - M ( Doherty, AWB )

    Salah (C) - Hazard - Maddison - Kenedy ( Hojbjerg )

    Aguero - Arnautovic - Mitrovic

    1. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Shaq?

  6. EMERGING STAR
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Have Maddy plus 0.7
    FT used.

    1. Felipe Anderson (whatta fixtures). Have Arnie
    2. Shaqiri /Milner (one week punt)
    3. Siggy (whatta Playa). Have Richa
    4. Save and play Wan Bissaka (get 5.2 mid and upgrade Bennet to Mendy later)

      1 or 4

  7. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I wonder how many articles have been specifically about Richarlison this season. 5 so far?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Use the search box above.

    2. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He is worth atleast in fantasy terms

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Less than Salah

  8. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Looking slightly ahead to GW13, im planning a -8 and wanted your thoughts

    Salah + Maddison + Success -> Sterling + Martial + Jiminez (-8)

    1. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I like it. Not so sure on Jimenez but the other 2 are solid imo

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Jiminez against Huddersfield + Cardiff in GW13 and 14 should surely get some returns

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Except if I get him in

        2. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Fair enough bud

  9. NilSatisNisiOptimum78
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else considering Salah TC? That Fulham defence is primed for a pumping (unfortunately)

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Many will.

    2. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Im considering it for sure

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I used my TC for Augero City v Fulham GW5 gutted it only got me 7 points

      Better than a Kane double GW fail though

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        That's what I don't understand - sure, there have been examples of DGW fails before, but the most likely outcome in a SGW is normally 1 goal, or 1 goal/1 assist. It's not that often that players get braces/hat tricks.

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          true, last year this guy in my mini league took a punt and got Augero TC on a 25point GW and Kane burned me.

          I tried my luck and failed massively - now I'm bound to lose out come those DGWs

          ah well

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Put it yesterday,looks like small differential compared to DGW TC.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Differential can be a negative you know

        1. FFSbet.com
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Yes but i will better do it now when we all dont have same (C).

          DGW TC will be over 200% EO.

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            My guess is that most people who play TC now (or have played it already) will regret not being able to play it on a DGW. Far more likely to get 20+ scores there from a captain.

            1. Pierce34
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              Some will get lucky of course, but it's still extremely improbable for a SGW player to score 20+ points.

              1. FFSbet.com
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 5 months ago

                More likely yes but not much difference tbh,x2 vs x3 plus Salah score...
                Got burned by Kane + Kun last 2 season in DGW,will go with my gut.

    5. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No

    6. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I hope many people are considering Salah TC 😉

  10. Aubamazette
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Really stuck on what to do, defence is a concern this week but I don't want to transfer out Pat/Doherty as they have 2 nice fixtures after Arsenal

    Patricio
    Mendy Robbo Doherty
    Salah(c) Hazard Mahrez Rich
    Aguero Arnie Murray

    Button Wan B Bennet Odoi

    1FT 0ITB

    Thinking of saving then doing Salah+Mahrez to Mane+Sterling next week, Thoughts?

  11. altan8797
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    maddison out, who to bring in for next 3 gameweeks

    a) richarlison
    b) fraser (no other bou assets)
    c) pereyra
    d)barkley
    e) felipe anderson

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A or E

    2. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      E

  12. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Was going to do TAA to Gomez but seems hes going to play? H-Odoi to playing 4.5 instead?

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      What makes you sure TAA plays? Klopp wasn't too happy with his display against red star

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Gomez seems injured... cant see lovren or moreno at rb?

      2. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        came off as injury issue not performance.

  13. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking about moving Mitro to Ings with a free transfer with a plan to wild card gw15 anyway or is Jimenez a better option once he can get Arsenal out of the way and of which he could score against Arsenals shaky defense?

  14. HD7
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Right order of starters and bench?

    Fab
    Mendy Robbo Alonso Duffy
    Salah (C) Richa Anderson Hazard
    Aguero Arnie

    Subs: Button, Kenedy, Success, WanB

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  15. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A) Play Hojberg instead of maddison and save ft?
    B) Bring someone up to 6.9? (Have Arnie so not keen on Anderson)

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Problem is he'll drop at least twice before next gw imo. Since its ib.
      If you can sustain it then fine

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Could triple drop. Owners would be becoming incredibly frustrated with lack of returns and now this.

    2. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Dunno. That's my exact deliberation. If I didn't have Arnie it's an easy switch to Anderson

  16. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Will this gws budget flavor Diangana flop like Success last gw?

    Or is he actually decent option. Thoughts?

    1. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      All he needs to flop is one bad game followed by an Antonio masterclass. Yes, he is as punty as Success was

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Flop

    3. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He's an exciting option for a 5th mid to come off the bench if needed. Too early to say whether he's a decent option overall.

    4. FPL Mountaineer
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      He's a great option actually. Watch his game against Burnley. He dribbled well and created lots of chances for the likes of Arnautovic and Anderson.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        interesting. but general consensus is antonio is big threat to his spot.

        might take a punt to afford ram in defence

        1. FPL Mountaineer
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          If Antonio plays ahead of him, I'll be very surprised. He doesn't possess the all-round ability like Diangana does. Diangana had 2 good games against Spurs in the past month so that should be enough for him to keep his place. I bought him last GW with my wildcard and have no regrets 🙂

        2. Taff1952
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure that that is the consensus.Most west ham fans seem to think antonio not been playing well and is likely to be behind diangana in starting order.

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      at the price point bench fodder enabler with potential to price increase and maybe come off the bench with points but just as easily vanish into the abyss

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        yh agree. its beteeen him and Murphy for me.(maddison replacement to fund ram)

        unfortunately priced out of brooks and kenedy

  17. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    All set to Save FT

    Maddison now out, 0.0 ITB so cant get Shaq, Rich or Siggy!! 🙁

    Any ideas who I can get?

    1. Bubi
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Rich.

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Only 6.7m to spend he is 6.9

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Ouch. Pererya is probably your best bet at that price.

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Or Anderson

      2. IRBOX ⚽

        Read again

    2. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      have barkley

    3. tucaoneo
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Anderson is the obvious pick but I am not totally sure about him. Plus he has Man City up next.
      Leicester still has 4 nice fixtures. It's a shame I can't get Maddison now. I am thinking about Demarai Gray as a punt.

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Felipe Anderson? I’m guessing you have Arnie though?

    5. Pieterke30
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Cairney, Kenedy,... you can afford lots of other useless players

      1. McSauce
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        haha agreed! Useless is the word

    6. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Try Felipe Anderson then. Nailed and the best fixtures than any other team

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Not a fan of owning Arnie AND Anderson in GW13

        1. EMERGING STAR
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          That is the only tough game till mid Jan.
          If you own Benett he has HUD in GW13.

          I personally not yet decided on Maddy replacement though

  18. Claudio555

    Will Mane start on sunday you think?

    1. Make United Great Again

      Yes

  19. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Maddison keepers need something big from him vs Burnley. Especially with a 0.2 drop imminent.

    1. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      he is injured for few weeks mate

      1. Make United Great Again

        Seriously? Oh I’ve been out of the loop

      1. Make United Great Again

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years

          Yeah, sorry, just read above.

    Patricio
    Laporte, luiz, robertson

    Bench, hamer, stephens, awb, bennett

  22. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like Barkley benched for this GW.

    Barkley to Milner
    Or
    Mitro & Barkley to Success & Shaq (-4)

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard benched then for the same reasons? 😉 Barkley was never a good option.

      1. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but Kovacic on bench implies he'll start in weekend. You saying keep Barkley?

  23. FleckyT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts? 0.5itb 2ft

    a) Maddi > Rich
    b) Maddi & Ings > 5.6 mid or Diangana & Arni
    (Will have enough for fraser>rich game week after)

  24. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I have Mendy, Sterling and Aguero. No Mane or Salah. £2.4 ITB. 1 FT.
    A) Sterling > Salah
    B) Hide behind the couch

    1. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A) and captain him

    2. diesel001

    3. Make United Great Again

      Feels so wrong transferring out Sterling considering his form

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years

        But A) and captain him

    Obvs no Liverpool attack is sticking out like a sore thumb but I don't want to sell sterling to then be priced out of getting him back.

      I would do Sterling to Mane if I were you especially after seeing Sterling play complete 90mins last time and bad record vs Manutd

        I'm not expecting much from sterling this week but I'm looking at the bigger picture..

          Bigger picture then gw14-16 are worst for city players as three matches in 8days

    In gw14-16 when Liv have 3 epl matches in less than 7 days who is most nailed?
    1)Salah
    2) Mane
    3) Firmino
    My idea is Salah is most nailed and Firmino least as Sturridge is option. Thoughts?

    After a poor few weeks, I could really do with some advice on the below team;

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Alonson TAA Trippier (Bennett) (Wan-Bissaka)
    Mane(c) Maddison Hazard Fraser (Hojbjerg)
    Kun Vardy Arnie

    0.1 ITB 1FT.

    Thanks in advance!
