Summer signings may be key to Everton’s FPL appeal

1,974 Comments

Our latest Numbers Game article focuses on Everton, who many Fantasy managers are backing in their droves ahead of some appealing fixtures in the first 13 Gameweeks of 2019/20.

The Toffees sit top our Season Ticker over this time, meeting only two of the ‘big six’ between now and the end of December.

Not one of their first six away fixtures is against a side that finished in the top half of the Premier League in 2018/19.

The Numbers Game series delves into the underlying attacking and defensive statistics of last season and is only available for Members to read.

      Yep. Think it may only come into effect post GW1. Which means you can't delete any player from your league until then.

          Emery is as bad or maybe even worse than Pep when it comes to rotation.

      KWP
      Zouma
      Tielemans
      Barkley

      I feel like you’re in an unenviable position of possibly not being able to field 11 some weeks and yet having too much money on your bench.

    And all of a sudden we have 3x 4.5 keepers

    Pope, Henderson, Heaton all looking like potentially good investments

    [Zinchenko & Ederson] vs. [Laporte & 4.5GK +0.5] looks a tricky enough call...

    Leaning towards the latter though - should theoretically be lower maintenance and probably the same-ish if not higher points

        Thinking similar - who’s your current 4.5GK of choice?

        I’ve been interested in Henderson all along... but a genuinely nailed Pope could be a nice safe way to 140 points with potential upside to 150+

          What do you reckon is on their shopping list?

          At least one marquee (or as close to marquee as they can get) striker surely required to avoid getting sucked into the relegation quagmire?

    I’m also tracking Maddison to Pérez but might save the move for possible upgrade of Taylor or Donker if required

      I did the same in the end - Perez is a forward getting 5 points per goal.

      Yeah I'm not really interested in Zouma even at 5m. Don't fancy them to keep too many clean sheets, although Kante will make a big difference when he's back.

        Don't miss out on Villa bargains. King sucks and fixtures aren't that great. Greenwood not nailed that we know. Ceballos no
