Richarlison on the wing as Maddison benched for Leicester

1,451 Comments

Richarlison (£7.0m) has been deployed on the left-wing for Everton as they host Leicester City in the opening Premier League fixture of 2019.

That has allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m) to come back into the side to operate as the centre-forward, Bernard (£5.9m) dropping to the bench.

Also named among the substitutes is Seamus Coleman (£5.2m), as Jonjoe Kenny (£4.2m) returns for his first start since Everton’s last meeting with Leicester on October 6.

After being benched for the Gameweek 20 trip to Brighton, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) comes back in to skipper the Toffees, who line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Brazilian international Richarlison may enjoy his outing at Goodison Park today as he goes up against Danny Simpson (£4.2m), who has been deployed at right-back for the first time since Gameweek 15 today. The former title-winner is making just his third league start of the campaign.

Meanwhile, James Maddison (£6.8m) finds himself on the Leicester bench, while Hamza Choudhury (£4.3m) makes his third start in four matches. The 21-year-old was excellent in recent wins over Chelsea and Manchester City but was rested for the Gameweek 20 defeat to Cardiff.

Wes Morgan (£4.5m) fails to recover from illness which sees Jonny Evans (£4.8m) come in, while Rachid Ghezzal (£5.1m) gets back into the Leicester starting line-up since Gameweek 12.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Zouma, Keane, Kenny; Gomes, Gueye; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Calvert-Lewin.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Maguire, Evans, Simpson; Ndidi, Mendy, Choudhury; Ghezzal, Vardy, R Pereira.

    Need a striker within a 9.3m budget to accompany Jimmy and Rashford to enable Salah.

    Arnie? As poor as Arsenal are, not sure I fancy an Anderson Arnie double up.
    Firmino? Not consistent at returning FPL points

    Note I'll be offloading Rashford in the coming weeks.

      Solanke at 4.7 should be a staple in most teams if the palace move goes through

      3-5-2’s & 4-5-1’s will be all the rage with a mixture of Ings, Jimmy, Solanke + an expensive forward if you wish

    a) Kane, Fraser --> Arnie, Salah (-4)
    b) Kane, Fraser, Sterling --> Auba, Salah, Siggy (-8)

    For context, my current team is:

    Kepa, Harmer

    Doherty, Kolasinac and soon to be TAA owner. You can’t have them all at that price point in defence, but watching the Everton game and Digne is looking attacking.

    Which 2 or 3 mid-price wing/full backs would you have in your team and why? Does assist or clean sheet potential triumph when trying to asses players who can deliver both?
