Digne keeps up FPL scoring sequence with double-digit haul

Everton’s run of four Premier League home matches without a victory was halted at Goodison Park on Sunday as Bournemouth were beaten 2-0.

The Toffees also recorded their first clean sheet since November on an excellent afternoon for owners of Everton’s defensive assets – in particular, Lucas Digne and Kurt Zouma.

We round up the key Fantasy talking points, manager quotes and injury updates from a fifth defeat in seven top-flight fixtures for Eddie Howe’s side.

Everton 2-0 Bournemouth

  • Goals: Kurt Zouma (£5.0m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m)
  • Assists: Lucas Digne (£5.2m), Ademola Lookman (£5.1m)

Since establishing himself as Everton’s first-choice left-back in Gameweek 4, Lucas Digne (£5.2m) hasn’t gone more than two Premier League matches without delivering an attacking or defensive return.

That sequence was kept alive on Merseyside earlier today as Digne supplied the assist for Everton’s headed opener, teeing up Kurt Zouma (£5.0m) with a delicate cross from the left flank.

No FPL defender has been directly involved in more Premier League goals than Digne (five – three goals, two assists) over the last seven Gameweeks.

Digne’s attacking appeal has never been in question, of course: the French left-back has supplied ten more key passes than the next-most creative FPL defender in 2018/19 and has provided more “big chances” than any other player in his position.

Digne created two more of what Opta deem clear-cut opportunities on Sunday: one being the delivery for Zouma’s goal and the other a cross that resulted in Michael Keane (£4.9m) clipping the Bournemouth bar with a looping header.

The former Barcelona defender also ranks fourth for attempts on goal among defenders this campaign and had another two efforts (a blocked free-kick and a follow-up shot) at Goodison Park against the Cherries.

Reservations about Digne as a Fantasy option mostly surround Everton’s defensive fragility, which is understandable after an eight-match run for Marco Silva’s side without a Premier League clean sheet.

Only Huddersfield Town have conceded more big chances than the Toffees since the start of December, meanwhile.

Many of Digne’s current and prospective owners will be willing to overlook those deficiencies at the back but those who like the bread and butter of clean sheets probably will need more convincing than this first shut-out since Gameweek 13.

Bournemouth began this match much the better of the two sides, with David Brooks (£5.1m) striking the post with the best of the Cherries’ opportunities after running clean through on goal.

Brooks was also denied a possible penalty when Idrissa Gueye (£4.8m) dived in on the Welshman in the Everton box.

Ryan Fraser (£6.1m) created two half-chances for Joshua King (£6.3m) from the left as the visitors bossed the opening half hour, with the natives getting increasingly restless at Goodison as Everton floundered at both ends of the pitch.

Silva’s side didn’t register a single shot on target in the opening 45 minutes, either, though there was a gradual improvement as the first half drew to a close and Everton were arguably the better side after the break.

Still, the half-chances came for Bournemouth, with Steve Cook (£4.4m) nodding a Fraser corner onto the top of the net and Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) having to rush out to deny Dan Gosling (£4.7m)in stoppage time.

The Cherries forced Pickford into seven saves overall, while Asmir Begovic (£4.4m) didn’t register a single stop.

The England goalkeeper looked uncertain in the opening stages of this encounter before recovering some composure, though Seamus Coleman (£5.2m) still seems to be a weak link at right-back.

Keane and Zouma, at least, looked a solid partnership at centre-half with Yerry Mina (£5.4m) left on the bench.

Silva gave his opinion on the game:

It was tough but to be honest, we deserved the three points. We didn’t start the match well in the first 20-25 minutes. It was different in the last 15 minutes of the first half, we controlled the game a bit better and started to create some chances.

Even in that first 25 minutes they only had one clear chance and it was a foul on Zouma, I don’t understand how the referee didn’t see that foul. All the people in the stadium can see that but that the referee and his assistants didn’t see that is strange.

In the second half, we started better and faster and breaking more of that first pressure in a different way.

Richarlison (£6.9m) was back up front for this match and was anonymous in the first half, though had a bit more of an impact after the break: the Brazilian was only denied a goal when his close-range shot on 48 minutes was cleared off the line by Nathan Ake (£5.0m).

There was a sufficient lack of menace for his owners to be slightly concerned, however, and the Brazilian is averaging only three FPL points per appearance in the last six Gameweeks.

Paul Pogba (£8.4m) is the only FPL midfielder to have attempted more shots than Richarlison in that time, however.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) was similarly invisible before the interval but improved slightly after half-time and on 75 minutes delivered a sublime ball into Richarlison, who could only head the Iceland international’s delivery wide.

Bernard (£5.9m) and Ademola Lookman (£5.1m) were preferred on the flanks and Lookman was Everton’s only bright spark early on, producing a couple of teasing deliveries in from each wing before gradually fading as the game wore on.

It was Lookman, however, who teed up Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m) for the hosts’ second goal and the youngster may have impressed enough to keep Theo Walcott (£6.1m) out of the side when Everton visit Southampton in Gameweek 23.

The Cherries have only collected four points from a possible 21 in the last seven Gameweeks but Eddie Howe was reasonably happy with his side’s efforts:

It’s a difficult one to take and one that is similar to our recent run. Personally, I’m really pleased with our performance.

We started strongly, created chances, defended well and then we switched off for a second and got punished. The game is then more difficult. We penned them in but couldn’t get that goal.

At the time, I thought the first penalty shout on Brooks probably was a penalty. I haven’t seen it back, so I may be wrong. At the end, I’ve then been told there was a stonewall, but that’s the way things are going for us at the moment.

We saw a really committed team performance today and both individually and collectively we were very good. I think we have to take a lot of confidence from the performance, not the result. If we play like that again, we can take confidence the points will come.

Fraser’s owners could have been rewarded with an assist on another day: the Scottish winger, who was playing on the left of a front three alongside King and Brooks, created more chances than anyone on show at Goodison Park and indeed all other midfielders bar James Maddison (£6.8m) in Gameweek 22 (so far).

King and Fraser were passed fit to play after recovering from illness and injury respectively but Callum Wilson (£6.6m) was unavailable and was arguably missed up top, with King lacking the conviction of his sidelined team-mate.

Howe commented on Wilson’s problem ahead of kick-off:

Callum’s hamstring strain isn’t serious but enough to keep him out of this game.

Howe added that he “didn’t know” if Wilson would be fit to recover for the match against West Ham next weekend.

Nathaniel Clyne (£4.4m) made his Premier League debut for the Cherries at right-back while there was a surprise return for Adam Smith (£4.3m), who had initially been ruled for three months with a knee injury in November.

Howe said of the full-back’s recovery:

I thought Adam Smith performed well today. He’s been doing a lot of fitness and running and I think that showed today. He didn’t look rusty and performed strongly.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne; Gueye, Gomes; Lookman, Sigurdsson (Mina 90′), Bernard (Walcott 78′); Richarlison (Calvert-Lewin 87′).

Bournemouth XI (4-3-3): Begovic; Clyne, S. Cook, Ake, Smith; Stanislas (Mousset 68′), Lerma, Gosling; Fraser, Brooks (Ibe 83′), King.

    Biggest swing in in history of my GW ranks - from 5.5m last week to top1k with Fabianski + Ings > Etheridge + Rashford for free

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      That's some swing! Well done.

      1. GianniBanani
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Fun fact: top 1 OR has average GW rank 1m

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

      But Fabianski scored big too...

      1. GianniBanani
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        True, but "both teams to score" this game was so obvious. That game was second Arsenal's blank (after city gw1) in a league this season

  2. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    How does eye test works?

    Are we supposed to look at performance of both teams or just one team do the job?

    Having watched BOU and SOU few weeks back, I thought they are defensively poor, especially there right side. So I went with Hazard (c) vs SOU and kept Richarlison/Sigurdsson for BOU game. Both didnt work.

    Watching EVE vs BOU, I felt Richarlison/Sigurdsson were decent, just couldnt get fpl returns, unlucky as they say.

    So trust the eye test or FPL points tells the truth?

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sometimes what looks good to the eye doesn't translate into FPL points, I think a balanced assessment is the key.

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

        yeah, dont know where to draw the line...

    2. GianniBanani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Despite of result, EVE vs BOU was very open game, but Richarlison's lack of accuracy caused his and Siggy's blanks

    3. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I watched Chelsea's last game. They were poor in attack and I really shouldn't have (C) Hazard. I still went with him over Salah because statistics and Brighton being supposedly good defensively in last few games. Turns out Hazard and Chelsea had a poor game again and Salah somehow managed one goal even though Liv hardly had a shot on target all game.

      I also have Richarlison.. having watched highlights of today's game I've decided to keep him next week. Might roll my free transfer and get Pogba+an attacker next week.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        So weren't wrong.Pool score 1 pen and Chelsea scored 2 open play goal.Just that u ended on the wrong side of the outcome

    4. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Richarlison is definitely unlucky. He’s going to explode soon

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

        Sounds like last season second half. He's going to explode any week now... any week... just have to be patient

    5. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Eye test can help you more with predicting future just by looking at who’s doing what / who looks dangerous etc.

      For the games I watched this weekend, I think Brooks, Sigurdsson, Pogba, F Anderson, and clearly Kane/Alli owners can count themselves a tad unfortunate not to have got more, so for me I’d be thinking that if they carry that threat in whatever game is next, they’ll have a good chance of returning.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Richarlison too. He was really unlucky

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

          Poor guy. Unlucky a lot lately

  3. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Who do you prefer for next 4 ?

    A) Aguero- hud new ARS CHE

    B) Firmino- CRY LEI whu BOU

    got no mancity cover btw (have salah and TAA)

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Both good but A edges it

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

      I’m thinking Firmino, he definitely has the fixtures and his form recently is good. But wait and see how Kun performs against Wolves

    3. Powers106
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm in a similar situation - if I ship Kane in most normal situations I'd be looking at Aguero, but correct me if I'm wrong, his away form is not as great as home form - and the CHE game seems tougher than ARS, but I'm still undecided! Can Firmino be trusted lol, I guess my alternative will be attempting to get Sane/Sterling

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A, since you don't have any other MCI attacker. As much as they may get rotated, I expect Aguero to be involved in their goals.

    5. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      IMO kunnand firmino are not comparable.

      If you have the cash, Aguero by an absolute country mile.

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

    Just did WC last week and already multiple issues

    Guaita*
    Digne, Doherty, TAA
    Hazard, Richa, Salah, Pogba
    Auba, Rashford, Arnie*

    Button, Alonso, Camarasa, Bendarek

    1FT, 0.8 ITB

    Was planning Alonso, Auba -> AWB, Kane but now there are more glaring issues.

    A - Guaita -> Etheridge/Fabianski/Foster?
    B - Arnie -> Jimenez
    C - A+B (-4)
    D - Arnie, Auba -> Kun, Jimenez

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Better take it slow, giving time to see how serious Guaita's injury is, and if Arnie actually leaves.
      If Guaita is fit there's no need to ditch him.
      If Arnie isn't expected to play, I'd sell him for Jimenez.

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

        afraid if Guaita is slightly injured Henessey may regain his place permanently, and my second keeper is Button, who's got terrible fixtures, may as well have Speroni

  5. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Before Kane's injury, my intention was to do Hazard->Sterling, not having any other City player currently.
    If Kane is not declared fit for gw23 and with TOT possibly managing his fitness for the 2nd cup leg at Chelsea 4 days later, I think I'll do Kane->Aguero instead.
    What do you think?

    Current squad:

    Fabianski Steele
    Robertson Luiz Trent Doherty Digne
    Salah Hazard Pogba Richarlison Camarasa
    Kane Rashford Kamara

    1 FT, 0.8 itb

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Good plan

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    3. GianniBanani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Probably the most common plan this week, second one will be Kane>Firmino and upgrade mid to Sterling/Sane

      I have beaten all the scores bar one game, which i was 1 point off the mark. Really not nice for me as i was looking forward to challenge this season.

      I was out from the first week haha. Smashed it since then

  6. fenixri

    Rich, Kane -> Salah, Jimenez for free?

    1. The Darkest Knight
      • 13 Years

      yeah

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      Wait

  7. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Sane & Sterling (c) tonight

    Hoping for plenty of goals as one would.

    1. Sir Edo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Great evening for you, only Sane here but I guess it's more than other competitors..

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling (C) is really interesting. Wolves are not push overs though but with the confidence City now have, i wouldn't be surprised if they blew Wolves away. The only slight issue is Liverpool winning so there will be pressure on City to win.

  8. olidooley
    • 11 Years

    Kane ruled out this weekend? Surely not confirmed yet?

  9. The Darkest Knight
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    what are people doing with F. Anderson??
    I am keeping him.
    He blanked but he was a real threat... most attacking player in West Ham side against arsenal.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      100% keeping

    2. JabbaWookiee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Got rid for Pogba. More of a must have for me.

    3. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Will keep this week

    4. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I am keeping him. Keeping Richarlison as well. Rich's finishing bothers me at times but he was very much lively particularly in the second half. Everton won as well so i hope that gives them confidence to do well in the coming fixtures.

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Thinking of getting Anderson. Caught my eye earlier wanted to get GW14 and always had more important trade. Looks like season keeper material

    6. vityovics
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Keeping

    7. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      Sell. I sold for Richarlison

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        That's a downgrade

    Going to lose value on Alonso when he drops tonight but also have Kane! What to do?

    Foster
    Alonso TAA Digne Bennett
    Salah Hazard Pogba
    Kane Rashford Jimenez
    Hamer Snodgrass Hojbjerg AWB

    1. WVA

  11. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which one for the next 4? Can’t afford both.

    A) Digne (sou, hud, WOL, wat)
    B) Doherty (LEI, WHU, eve, NEW)

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Digne

    2. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Digne

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      A

  12. tibollom
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Whats the deal with Kane guys, worth taking him out for Salah?

    1 FT.

    Fab, Stek
    Robbo TAA AWB Digne Doherty
    Haz Sane Fanderson Pogba Camarasa
    Kane Mitro Jimenez

  13. Bow Locks
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Was that a deliberate attempt to cause damage by Richarlison yesterday?

  14. emyoueffsee
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Kane and Son to Rashford and Salah for free?

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

      yea

      1. emyoueffsee
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Tempted to take a minus four punt on Auba to Aguero. Good or bad?

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Everyone will be doing Kane to aguero. Might be worth it to try keep pace

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

          the prob with Kun is hes not firing like he used to, the system not ideal for him. Plus rotation...

          Gamble.Check auba fixtures gw24 to 28

    No news on Kane's injury yet? The fixtures are all nice and tbh Spurs played well in the second half. Even Lamela passed the ball around nicely when he came on, something which baffled me a bit honestly as i always see him as a player who keeps the ball or tries something he can't do and end up loosing/kicking the ball wide. No Son then isn't a big issue as long as Kane is fit imo.

      We will get no news till spurs pressers on Thursday or Friday

  16. Whats the Huth

    A Kane injury means everyone will have salah. Disappointed. The top four in my ML don’t own salah. And it is because of salah I have been climbing the ranking.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      City players will come into consideration as well.

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Kane to aguero is the most obvious move. Template will form.
        I guess the only saving grace is that those without salah will struggle to get Kane back in.

    Wouldn't be doing this straight away but considering:

    Kane & Haz out for Aguero/Firmino & Sterling

    No city coverage atm. Wouldn't be a crazy move would it? But then I'll take Hazard out and he will explode

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      If Kane is injured, then one City player is enough. You can still keep Haz.

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’d keep hazard

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

      Not sure about Kane out.

      Hazard though, had enough. Never feel comfortable captaining him, only 1 game outta next 4 i'd be tempted. Even Salah's at his roughest patch wouldn't blank for more than 2 games.

  18. The Greenback Boogie
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Which one?

    A. Son + Auba to Pogba + Aguero
    B. Son + Auba to Sterling + Rashford
    C. Son + Auba + Mitro to Sane + Firmino + Rashford for -4

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I’d say B
      You need Pogba as well though I reckon

    2. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Very tight between A and B. But on current form I'd get both Pogba and Rashford.

  19. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Rashford essential for 7.4m and those fixtures?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      He is value for money. And seems nailed.

    2. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      pretty much.

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      yes

  20. Whats the Huth
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    What’s with the Firmino love?! Haha

  21. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Thinking of ditching Auba for Aguero as my premium forward. Can sense a ruthless streak by City coming and Arsenal look really poor.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah. Plus Kane to aguero will be really popular if Kane is confirmed out

      1. DROP IT LIKE IT'S HART
        • 11 Years

        Thanks.

    2. g40steve

      Auba scores home & away Kun home good away poor.

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      not sure on that mate.gw24 to 28 arsenal have 4 of the most plum matches u can get and 3 at home too where auba is strong.

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Got to agree with this. Especially as City will blank in 27 & Jesus is an ever-present rotation threat.

  22. Acrux66
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    1)Auba+Hazard for Kane+Sane
    2)Hazard+Pereira for Sane/KDB+Robbo

    Team:
    Fab/Ham
    Digne/Pereira/TAA/WB/Doherty
    Hazard/Salah/FA/Torreira/Pogba
    Auba/Rashford/Jimenez

  23. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 5 Years

    They’re gonna rush Kane back again aren’t they.

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      ofc

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years

      Probably rest him weekend so he’s ready for the cup match

  24. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Good and bad stories so far this gameweek.
    Talking points expected:
    Taking out Kane and for who?
    Making the wrong mid range choice (Richa Anderson Siggy)
    Who can take Son place with the Kane injury worry?
    Captaining Haz , Auba and Kane?

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero
      Richarlison correct
      Man City mid. Or Pogba if you do not own
      Never captain hazard.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Kun: points per minute at home great. Points per game not worth it.
        Stay away from all at Everton apart from Digne.
        City mid plus Pogba (Sane)
        Must get Salah for penalties (Smile)

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Agree with the Digne bit

      Wait on Kane news but possibly

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years

      Son and Kane to Aguero and Eriksen?

    Foster
    TAA Digne Bennett
    Salah Hazard Eriksen Pogba
    Aguero Rashford Jimenez
    Hamer Kolasinac AWB Hojbjerg

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I probably wouldn’t bother with erkisen at this stage
      Also. I’ve just sold Kola haha. He’s not returning points and arsenal can’t keep cleanies

    B Transfer Fillipe out for Sterling for a -4

    C Wait until next week and do B for free?
