Summer signings may be key to Everton’s FPL appeal

1,974 Comments
Share

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.

    Someone told the keeper that Eriksen would put it down the middle, you saw him acknowledge someone after it.

        I really don't see this. I feel Kane has the same if not easier fixtures and playing in what is likely a better team.. and looking more advanced and central in a 4231 where he is at his best.

                I promise you he knows more about Chelsea than anyone on here and anyone on Twitter. Wouldn't be surprised if he did know, but even if it is just a guess I'm happy with following it as a guess for now.

      I have this mini league opportunity

      25 people. £1000 to enter

      50% of winnings is split between the top 4.

      The other 50% is split to the manager with the most points each month.

      Would you do it?

          To be honest the £ is tanking at the moment - £1000 will be basically a tenner by November

        €1000 entry seems a bit low, could you ask them to bump it up a bit? Like maybe €10k or €20k entry...
