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.

      Interesting!

      Haven't seen United lately. Hows their def? A goalfest at Anfield is possible but having a hard time to figure out the City game.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Anderson ? Willian not nailed?

      1. ChelseaKTBFF
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He'll play this GW, Pedro played 85' in Europa

    2. Parm
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Anything ITB?

      1. ChelseaKTBFF
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        1.2m

        1. Parm
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I know he has City but Martial?

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

    Play one from WB, Hojberg, Doherty or get rid of Maddison for -4?

  5. gonzalocampos
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Who to play? (Maddison owner)
    1) Hojbjerg
    2) Doherty
    3) Wan Bissaka
    4) Maddison to Richarlidson for -4

    1. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      2

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Uhhh same problem

    3. Shearer & Sutton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      2

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      2

  6. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    2FT... Need some help fellas.

    A) Mitro & Maddison -> Arnie & Fraser (Have Wilson)

    B) Mitro & Maddison -> Arnie & Gudmundsson

    C) Mitro & Maddison -> Ings/Jiminez & Martial/Felipe Anderson

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A with deulofeou instead of Fraser

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Arnie & Martial ideally. How about a mini-wildcard for a -4? Anyone else you want to get rid of?

      1. Prison Mike
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not atm, but that would be ideal.

  7. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Best option:

    a) Doherty, Martial, Jimenez
    b) Mendy, Brooks, Wilson
    c) Mendy, Gudmundsson/Brooks, Jimenez

    (WC in GW 15-16)

  8. timawflowers

    Will barkley start at the weekend?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to know. Playing 90 didn't help.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think Kvacic might get the nod

  9. kime67
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    got barley for -4. im a wise man

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      What transfer you doing next?

    2. kime67
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      saving 2ft for the ib. salah and barkley to sterling and rich probably

      1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not another IB? When?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          After GW12

    3. timawflowers
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Me too, might still start

    4. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Big mistake. Barley is a cereal underperformer.

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. Not biting for barley trap.

  10. Teror
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is it really a terrible idea to downgrade Salah to Mane?

    I have 2FTs and 0ITB. Maddison needs replacing but I'm obviously limited to 6.7 mids, which excludes anyone I'd want long-term. Doing Salah to Mane would allow me to spend up to 9.9 on Mads replacement.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Could be a misteak.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Bench and carry to the intl break

    3. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I definitely would not do that now . There's a high chance they switch to 4231 for this game where salah has a big positional advantage over mane . If you not happy to switch Maddison to anyone cheaper than him maybe just switch a defender to play four at the back this week and roll the two to do that move next week potentially when they should be back to 433 away from home

  11. Shearer & Sutton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Maddison ->
    A) D. Silva
    B) Martial
    C) F. Anderson

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B if you have plans for the 1m saving over D.Silva.

      1. Shearer & Sutton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks atm no any plans but 1m is useful later for sure.

  12. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    A. Wilson + TAA/Doherty or...
    B. Ings + Trippier ?

    Thanks.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A, but Trippier will be very popular in a couple of weeks.

  13. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    A) iheanacho
    B) ings
    C) jiminez

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      C

    2. Shearer & Sutton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      C

  14. FPL AXE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bring in Gudmundsson or Fraser??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Times are tough. Fraser will probably be a sell here with a fail soon.

    2. Taking one for the team
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fraser

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Gudmundsson may lose some set pieces with Brady fit again.

  15. TerryVenables
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Lamela likely to start this weekend? Thinking of bringing him in for Maddison.

    1. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yes he is

  16. FPL AXE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Would you rather have:

    Maddison, Richardson and Mitrovic
    Or
    Mane, Gudmundsson and Kamara
    OR
    Mane, Barley and Success?

  17. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Is Hazard primer to start now for the weekend after playing 60 mins?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Looking promising imo.

  18. The White Pele
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Maddison & Bennet > Martial & Peltier (-4)?

  19. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    A) replace Maddison
    B) bench Maddison and start westham defender .

    Still have wc

    1. cpo001
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B is what I'm doing - doesn't seem like a bad option, then bank the FT for the IB.

  20. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Seem to have exact cash saved up for a move to get Lolvren. What are people predicting Liverpool's defense lineup at the weekend to be?

    1. Dosh
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I think he starts if fit.

  21. konrad.sygula95
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Who should I start in place of Maddison this GW?
    A Dunk
    B Hojberg

  22. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Keeping TAA i think :)... H-Odoi to playing 4.5? Then Vardy, Schurlle to Arni, Rich next week?

  23. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Will Auba start at the weekend?

  24. MMN
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    2 FT, 1.4m ITB. Any thoughts?

    Pat (Hamer)
    Alonso, Robbo, Mendy (Doherty, AWB)
    Hazard, Mane, Bilva, Richa, Fraser
    Aguero, Arnie (Kamara)

    I want Salah C this week but it's a case of Hazard or Salah for the next two (FUL, wat vs EVE, tot) - if I do sell, Hazard will come back in for GW14. Bought for 11m so don’t lose much value either.

    A) Hazard & Bilva > Salah & 7m
    B) Bilva > 8.9m

  25. oggyninho
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Robertson and Maddison -> Salah and Kiko Femenía for a hit? Leaving me with 0 ITB

  26. TerryVenables
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Lamela a good punt replacement for Maddison?

  27. Arctic monkeys
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Stuck with this tean and no Idea what to do, some feedback is much appreciated

    Patricio
    Laporte Shaw Alonso
    Hazard Mané Mahrez Maddison
    Laca Firmino Mitro

    Subs: Mccarthy WB Bennett Hojberg

    A- Mitro and Maddison to Arnie and Felipe anderson (-4)
    B- Mitro to Arnie and play Hojberg
    C- Maddison to Martial and keep Mitro for the time being

    Cheers

  28. nickc123
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    1. Mane and Lacazette or
    2. Salah and Arnautovic

  29. Teror
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Martial or Siggy?

    Wilson or Murray?
