Richarlison on the wing as Maddison benched for Leicester

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.

    Hindsight is the foresight of a gobshi+e.

    Especially in the first game of a game week.

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Digne and Rich don’t get another game this week so first game of the week is a fair time to analyse them.

      Analysis : They trash.

    Digne goal incoming

  19. Waynoo

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'd prefer a few goals.

    So the transfer window is open. What transfers would you like to see in January (player and club)? What club needs reinforcements the most, and in which position?

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Koulibally to United

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Not gonna happen.

    2. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      As a Liverpool fan all I would like to see is fullback cover.

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        If it was your cash - which FB?

        1. Supersonic Marv'
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Wouldn't get much with my cash.

              • 7 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Sorry.

    3. Srv210
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Arsenal :
      a good CB or maybe two and a LB who can defend
      A winger under or pavon or someone
      Banega will be good too

  21. Zilla

    Siggy you idiot leave it for Digne

    1. Majestic Chanka
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Digne epically hit the shins of the wall with the one before that

  22. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Digne would’ve scored that

  23. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Zouma looking good tbf

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Is Calvert Lewin still on? He's done nothing

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      When did he come on? Haven't noticed him.

      1. Homer21
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Started

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

      Can say the same for the lot of them.

  25. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Everton so frustrating to watch, how do their fans do it

    1. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      With gritted teeth and clenched fists.

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Tell me about it

  26. Pierce34
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    I can already see Emery's half-time substitutions: Iwobi and Lacazette off, Torreira and Ramsey on.

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    And then again, one week too late on Digne and he has been terrible transfer.

    Fed up from Richarlison too. He has done nothing lately
