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.

    Doubling up on Sig and Richarlison anyone ?

    In light of the Maddison news.

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

      Doubling up with their fixtures?? No

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

        This is the issue for Maddison/Richarlison owners.

        Cardiff at home is nice.

    2. Demel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Some bad fixtures ahead for the double up.

  4. davies
    • 11 Years

    Which option lads?

    A) Doherty + Sterling + Camarasa + Wilson (433)
    B) Doherty + Sterling + Richarlison + Kamara (442)
    C) Doherty + Mahrez/Dilva + Richarlison + Wilson (343)

  5. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years

    Replace Maddison ? If yes whom to bring ? (6.9) FAnderson a good shout? Someone else ?

    Or play a westham defender

    1. Typo
      • 12 Years

      Bringing fanders

  6. Gudjohnsen

    Who to play for Maddison this weekend?

    A. Billing
    B. Wan Bissaka
    C. Bennet
    D. Take a hit for Richarlison or Anderson

    1. zotter
      • 16 Years

      A assuming short term injury

  7. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years

    why are all Leicester players flagged?

    1. Syd.

    Sorry to spam this just trying to raise awareness for those considering richarlison as a maddison replacement so that you’re cautious.

    Not sure how reliable or accurate this is but just seen it on twitter.

      They will still score the same regardless.

    6. Black Knights

      There was a Silva quote on Sunday saying that he’d hurt his foot and they’d see how it reacted.

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

      He's going up in price and playing Chelsea away. If he misses it, it isn't the end of the world as long as he plays next GW (vs Cardiff).

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

    A) Maddison -> Martial for free
    B) Keep Maddison and play Richarlison

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Ohh1454

      B

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years

      Not sure A is gonna do you any good this week. So definetely B for now

  10. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Really need some help with the team.

    Hennesey*
    Alonso Mendy Trippier
    Salah Haz Rich Maddi*
    Aguero Arnie Jimenez

    Subs: Hamer AWB Obiang Peltier
    1 ft 0.2 ITB

    Which move(s) do you prefer?
    A) Maddi -> F. Anderson / Diangana
    B) Hennesey -> Fabianski
    C) Salah + Maddison + Trippier -> Sterling + Mane + TAA -8
    D) A + B -4
    E) Something entirely different

    C (and B) is the only way to get Sterling in the team without losing Hazard or Aguero.

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A with Anderson

  11. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Get rid of Barkley ? Surely won't start

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Get rid for who?

      1. Ohh1454
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would downgrade to diangana I need 0.5m to do mitro to arnie so with money left would get Doherty following week in a 4-4-2

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sounds good to me.

            • 8 Years

            Thanks very much for your reply I think I'll go ahead and do it now

    2. FPL ZB

      I’m considering it.. not sure what good sub 7 options there are about though

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Maddison?
        Richarlison?

        Oh. Wait.

    3. Dosh

      What a fail transfer he has been except for the 0.1 profit

      1. Ohh1454

        Exactly

    I do my ft. 0 in bank
    Ryan

    Trippier , Alonso , Robertson , AWB, Bennett

    Hazard , Salah, Madison , Richarlison , Hojbjerg

    Aguero, Arnautovic, Wilson

    1. Do i go Madison for Gray -4
    2. Madison for Pereyra -4
    3. Play AWB or Hojbjerg
    4 ?

  13. JustPark

    Barkley getting sluggish.

    1. Mysterion

        1. Epic Fail
          • 15 Years

          Why find out from an official presser when we can just go by rumours?

        I resemble that remark!

  15. Bialystrzelec
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    You guys are crazy considering Shaquiri as an option. You're basically paying £7m for bench player, who get arround 30 min a game. He won't become starter overnight and one game approach seem like wasted FT.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Let people buy him if they want. I won't be.

    2. JustPark
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly crazy if you have extra FT to burn and no other issue.
      Could push your rank big.

    3. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years

      Did you know what Klopp did with his team selection last christmas? i suggest you do some research.

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

        Got them Christmas presents?

        1. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Your humour is very basic

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

            I like that you like it.

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

        So are you suggesting he’ll play Shaq every week or he’ll just get play 50% of the time instead of 20-30% of the time?

    4. Naboo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm considering only as a one week holder for martial or Richarlison who have bad fixtures this week. No other issues with team so why not?

  16. vanillasky639

    Maddy to Anderson? (though I will have 3 WHam players)

  18. North_East_FF_Pro
    • 12 Years

    Crazy to take out Salah, Maddison, Robbo for Mane, Sterling and TAA for an 8pt hit!?

    1. North_East_FF_Pro

      Has to be done tonight to beat price rise

    2. Black Knights

    3. Burger

      I'd quite like it if TAA was nailed which he isn't.

    4. Dosh

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

      I'm thinking camarasa cardiff arnt great but he's a guaranteed starter good bench fodder

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

    Brooks for 5.1? Anyone getting him? Cheap enabler and could get goal or assist now and then but those fixtures...

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

      was gonna get him for fraser but that bumm madison went and got injured grrrrrrrrrrrrr

  21. Jules Rimet
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    The Mozart of Chess Magnus Carlsen made a great leap from OR 73k to 3k in just 3 gameweeks.

    Played WC GW9, triple captained Salah vs Cardiff GW10, captained Sterling GW11.

    Great job.

    4. Sánchez

      Interesting. Excellent rank last season too. I wonder if he's a football fan or if it's the transferable skills of considering all the combinations and statistics etc. that's made him do well

  22. Robson-Canoe
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Maddison + Trippier > Mané + VVD for a -8? (I'm 0.2 short for Maddison > Mané unfortunately)

    1. Robson-Canoe
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I could also do Maddison + Barkley > Mané + Deulofeu/Kenedy/Brooks for that same -8 which I'm willing to take - what would you guys prefer? Advice would be much appreciated, thanks

      High chance he won't start the Everton game now. Sucks.

    Do you think Sarri even knows that Everton is Barkley's former club? I'm no man manager but surely having a player up against his former club is a sure fire way of knowing he's going to be motivated to do well.

    Maybe foreign managers don't put much stock in that, or maybe he considers Barkley wouldn't handle the situation well? Bit annoying if he doesn't start as this game was one of the main reasons for me buying him.

      I’d be amazed if he doesn’t play

        Can see it being only a 20 min impact sub appearance though.

      Very likely he knows. Last GW didn't help his cause.

        Yeah, he was pretty dire vs Palace.
