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.

    With transfers done, am I G2G for this week?

    £0itb
    Fab
    Alonso, Robbo, Mendy
    Salah (C), Haz, Fraser, Martial, Diangana
    Aguero, Wilson

    (Foster) (Success, Duffy, Doherty)

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        lol. You could hold BOU for sure. Hoping I’ve got enough quality elsewhere to bring in the points!

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers boss. Good luck! You done your moves for the week?

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Not yet. Mitro >> Ings most likely

  2. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think with maddison out there could be a formation change seeing nacho come back into the team in a 2 upfront with Vardy?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      My guess would be this yeah

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Considering him as a fodder upfront.. other options ings and jiminez. Already have Vardy and arnie and I fancy Leicester to have a good game

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I must admit I am tempted by him now too. Think I’ll just go Ings though for the nailed on ness

          1. #FPLBhuna
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah bit punty really ain’t it

            Not sure what I’ll do

            Good luck anyway

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

  3. Hazardness FC
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know what’s Maddison injury and if he will be back for game week 12?!

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn’t seem serious he’s posted on twitter

      Could be back

    2. EgyptianKing
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He is out for this GW, right?

      1. Dont choose VW. Pickford
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        yeah, puel's only talking in terms of coming back after internationals

  4. Dirty Harry
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison out for Richarlison a no brainer for free?

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Dirty Harry

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No brainier tomorrow. Don’t get burnt with a move tonight to have Rich ruled out tomorrow

  5. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at some potential moves in a couple weeks.. Salah and Barkley > Mane and Ali. Would give me a mid of:

    Hazard Sterling Mane Ali Richarlison

    Thoughts?

    1. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks a very strong mid! What would the rest of the team be?

      1. Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Well current team is:

        Fabianski
        Mendy Duffy Doherty
        Salah Hazard Sterling Richarlison Barkley
        Aguero Jiminez

        4.0 Success Bennett Wan-B

        So that but with the moves above.

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Going the same on WC with Eriksen or Martial over Ali

    3. McSauce
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      this will all change with form so just want

  6. The 5% Team
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Will Success maybe get another start this weekend or will Deeney take his spot straight away now that he is declared fit again?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think he might get one last game. Deeney bench

      1. The 5% Team
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Kinda hoping this...Succes is my first off the bench with Maddison out this weekend. Don't want to make a -4 transfer.

  7. HNI
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How nailed out of 5 for hectic 14-16gws
    1) Salah
    2) Mane
    3) Firmino
    I feel 1)4/5, 2) 3.5/5 3) 3/5

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      5 4 3.5

  8. spencersas
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mccarthy/Hennessey
    Robertson Alonso Mendy Bennett WBissaka
    Stephens Mane Hazard Richarlison Maddison
    Arnie Wilson Aguero
    1.6mill in the bank.

    First time I've ever posted team. Clueless who to transfer maddison for. Martial only person I can think. Siggy and Felipe are good but don't want to double up. Pererya annoyed me blanking earlier in the season. I don't trust Kenedy. Anyone I'm missing?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Martial is a great pick

  9. arndff_
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    a) 442 with mendy
    b) 352 with doherty/yedlin

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B. Fernandez

      1. arndff_
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Already own Yedlin

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          B still yeah

    2. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Who will be 5. Mid?

      1. arndff_
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Dunno... someone who I sell Maddison for.

  10. HNI
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is Haz to Mane for next 2 gws worth a punt? Can get haz back again after spurs for che vs fulham

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sure. But might come back to bite you

  11. VougieDipond
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Not much mention of Paterson on here for a Maddison replacement. Nailed on unlike Shaqiri. Doesn't play city next week unlike Anderson (double up with arnie doesn't sound fun). Has some good goal threat. Fixtures are good especially this week, it doesn't get much better bar Fulham/Burnley at home. Also frees up cash for flexibility with any issues that come from the latest round of internationals

    1. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You bought him?

      1. VougieDipond
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        not yet but I think I am going to. Only need someone for 3 weeks before I wc

  12. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Whats the fuss with this Diangana guy?

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      cheap, playing in decent front 3, good form,

      not expecting much but im getting him to fund RAM in defence (by selling maddison). worth a punt imo as you got not much to lose

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Whats your thoughts about Jbg? Worth a try?

        1. HurriKane
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          gudmundsson?

          not a bad option. good 4 fixtures in next 5. could probably get a couple of assists and a goal at max

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Will pull the trigger on Mitro >> Ings tomorrow after the pressers. The rest all set? Right bench order? Cheers & GL.

    Patricio
    Robbo • Alonso • Mendy
    Hazard • Richarli • Salah(C) • Kenedy
    Firmino(vc) • Arnie • Ings
    (Hamer / Cairney / AWB / Bennett)

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep looking good. At least not totally template!

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA

  14. vanillasky639
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    thought on shaqiri as replacement for maddison?
    likely to start this week against fulham. good 1 week punt?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you have exit strategy then fine

    2. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years

  15. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison out....hhhmm did Mitro to Wilson this afternoon. But have 1FT left and 7.6 to spend for another midfielder.

    Richarlison? Martial? Who to pick?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on rest of team. Could downgrade for funds

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Posts crossed eachother....what’s your advice? Thanks!

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Current team:

      Fab Bego
      Bennett WB Pereira Alonso Mendy
      Salah Haz Maddison Fraser Stephens
      Kun Arnie Wilson

  16. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 1 month ago

    GTG?

    Fab
    RAM
    Haz - Salah(c) - Mane - Rich - Camarassa

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling in over the IB for either Mane or Salah

  17. WD27
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison and Fraser out for Diagana and Mane (4)

    Or maddison out and Taa put for Robertson & someone else?

    Don't know what fire to put out.. maddison has to be number one to go.. thinking of having mane long term (currently own salah so maybe salah to hazard to go alongside mane)

    Thoughts?

    1.6ITB

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Who is your reserve defender

      1. WD27
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Trip Laporte Chilwell Doherty TAA is the back 5

        1. zotter
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Then the former. Start trent

  18. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any Mods around? Just been looking in the members area for cheap bench fodder strikers, noticed Cavaleiro from Wolves is a midfielder in FPL but down as a striker in the members area.

  19. Threat Level Midnight
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hart-Patricio
    Mendy-Alonso-Robbo-Doherty-Wan Biss
    Hazard-Mane-Mahrez-Fraser-Hojbjerg
    Kun-Success-Arnie

    1ft and 1.9 ITB...

    Anything pressing or roll my transfer into the break?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well you going to surely replace either hojberg or success soon so why not this week and bench doherty

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Both strictly bench fodder really

  20. zotter
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Shaqiri could feasibly play next three league games

    Definitely this weekend and suspect he will play both sides of the PSG tough away game after IB

  21. Jasօn
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Guys,

    Really hoping for some advice...

    I did some 'interesting' to say the least transfer this week for a -8pt hit!!! (back on sunday even so propper crazy!)

    Cedric >> TAA

    Dilva >>> Martial

    Mitrovic >>> Arnie

    Q. I can cancel the -8 using the 'free hit' chip and build a squad incorporating the likes of mane / salah / lacazette / vardy etc

    What should i do?

    A) Save - ive done them now and its best to stick - learn my lesson in future

    B) Cancel and create the best team possible for this GW in the hope of it not being a waste (reclaiming the -8pt hit)

    Your advice is greatly appreciated.

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A definitely. Only Trent is an issue

    2. SlowStart
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

  22. EgyptianKing
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison out Anderson in seem a good move?

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe shaqiri

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I do not have enough funds. I am at 6.9 max....

        1. zotter
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          How much is shaq

          1. EgyptianKing
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            7.0!

  23. Bucket Man
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Very stuck with what to do with Maddison now after planning to save before, and then get rid of Firmino too. Feel all possible replacements a nightmare. Any ideas?
    0.5ITB, and 1FT
    Fab
    Alonso, Mendy, Duffy
    Hazard, Sterling, Mane, Maddison*
    Firmino, Arnie, Jimenez
    Hamer, Obiang, AWB, Jonny

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade madison. Then next week Firmino to laca or Aguero

      1. Bucket Man
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Was looking at Auba too, trouble is who is worth downgrading too. Pereyra or Fraser have some tough games. Deulofeu or Kennedy I’m not sold on. Richarlison the same price and some tough games.

  24. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    2FTs and 0 ITB. Do I...

    A. Salah + Maddison > Mane + Siggy

    B. Maddisson > Lamela

    C. Mitro > Murray

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Madison to Shaq?

      1. Teror
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'm Serbian, I can't.

        1. zotter
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Lol terrible. Like saying I’m a white supremacist so can’t buy sterling

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mitro needs to go

  25. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do?

    Ederson
    Alonso Robertson taa
    Fraser mane Hazard maddison
    Vardy Aguero Arnautovic

    Hamer balbuena hojbjerg awb

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maddison out

      1. The Overthinker
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ya got to know about it just now.

        Thinking to replace him . But very few options available.

  26. RuudVanNistelrooney
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Suggestions?

    1FT
    0.1 ITB

    Fabianski, Patricio
    Robbo, Doherty, Mendy, AWB, Bennett
    Hazard, Salah, Richarlison, BSilva, Stephens
    Kun, Arnie, Ings

    A) save FT. Next week downgrade Aguero upgrade bilva to sterling
    B) BSilva --> Shaqiri
    C) anything else

    WC remaining

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B given you have wildcard

      1. RuudVanNistelrooney
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Planning to use WC in gw 15
        I think I have settled defence...can switch from Salah to sterling next week

  27. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kneejerk opinion change from FFS - gone from “he can’t play central” to “he’s adapted to make a mockery” lol ridiculous

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Still not convinced tbh. His first goal was a counter-attack - he could have scored or assisted that playing on the left wing. His second goal was gifted to him by Dunk.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      FFS articles are just lazy journalism pieces now. Stats are being quoted to suit the narrative.

      "Crucially, he is spending more time in the penalty area itself. In his first two centre-forward displays, he averaged 5.5 touches there per match, but that has increased to 6.0 per match from Gameweek 10 onwards."

      Like, an extra half a touch in the penalty area means he's now an option... seriously?

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hilarious, man.

    3. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Everton putting the ball in front of him rather than into him (particularly with back to goal) is a bigger change in recent weeks.

  28. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is this a good transfer for free?

    Lascalles and Maddison —> VVD and Pereyra

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Who is rest of defence ?

  29. Demel
