Why has Everton’s attack been so underwhelming so far this season?

Everton’s popular attacking assets have underwhelmed Fantasy Premier League managers so far this season.

After two matches, they have scored just once, only Crystal Palace finding the net fewer times than the Toffees at this stage.

Perhaps we should not be too surprised to see Marco Silva’s men struggle in front of goal at this stage.

During their pre-season campaign, they scored just three goals in seven matches, with Richarlison (£8.0m) the only key figure missing for most of it.

One was registered against Kenyan side Kariobangi Sharks, while Monaco and Mainz were the only other teams to concede against Everton.

The Toffees drew blanks in four of their summer friendlies, against FC Sion, Wigan Athletic, Sevilla and Werder Bremen.

Of those who found the back of the net, Joe Williams and Lewis Gibson are not first-team regulars, the former now a permanent Wigan player, while Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) is the only summer goal-scorer to have played in either Premier League match so far this season.

Accordingly, ahead of a Gameweek 3 trip to Aston Villa, Fantasy managers might be looking to move on their Everton attackers.

We have assessed the underlying statistics from their first two matches of the campaign to find out if the Toffees have simply been unlucky not to score more often, or if there are some tangible reasons for concern.

    Best West Ham attacker (midfielder or striker)

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like Lanzini

  3. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best move here fellas, and why?

    A) Robbo & Barkley -> KWP/Boly & Martial
    B) Robbo, Barkley & Wilson -> Soyuncu, Martial & Rashford (-4)
    C) Robbo, Barkley & Wilson -> Lundstram, McGinn & Kane (-4)

    Ryan
    TAA, Robbo, Digne, Zinch, Coleman

      I really dislike your team structure with so much at the back. For that reason, I'd go C to take steps to fix that.

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        all three options address this

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not really no. They are still vying for starts. I'm talking the 4.0ms who you're happy to bench every week that could occasionally come in to save a week with random injuries/rotation.

    2. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      love it. personally would do king to fodder and barkley to martial

  4. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Heaton
    Robbo VVD Digne Lowton
    Salah Sterling Pérez Trossard
    Kane King

    Button Dendoncker Rico Greenwood.

    which one?
    A)Robbo + king to Dunk + Rashford for free
    B) Robbo + Perez to zinchenko + Martial for free.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      neither

      1. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        not sure what else to do instead

        1. EMBOLOFAN

          2fts?

          1. ooooo
            • 6 Years

            yes

      B

  5. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Can't wait for Vardy, Perez to blank, Robinson to punish sellers and Lundstram to get 10 points again

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      0-2

    2. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      10 is enough. I'll take it. Last game i got 14 from him.

    3. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just make sure mcGoldrick finish what Lunny creates

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      0-1

  6. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mount could be huge. Has played all 180mins so far and given huge praise from Lampard who says his best is yet to come.. he could have had a brace or even hat-trick against Leicester. Norwich will be open for the picking and cue the next big bandwagon!

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      could easily happen yep

    Best 6.5 striker or below?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Find the extra .3 for pukki.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      There isn't one but if you want one then choose one of the Southampton forwards.

      Maupay might be option if he earns a starting place

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      None

      Pukki and Barnes

  8. Forever In Our Shadow
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is 354 a decent RMT score?

  9. @FPLMason
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Reposting since didn't get any responses.
    Current Team:
    Ryan - Button
    Robbo - Digne - Zouma - Diop - Lundstram
    Salah - Sterling - Ayoze - Trossard - Dendo
    Kane - King - Adams
    0 itb
    A) Ayoze -> Lanzini
    B) Salah, Ayoze, Robbo --> Mane, KdB, Suyuncu (-4)
    C) WC

    Cheers for any aid.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      roll ft

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      King to Maupay if you have balls. But roll ft if not

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B. The thing is I am on WC and it just doesn't feel right with Kane KDB Sterling a Mane because it means no liverpool defence or a poor looking defence. Its a toughie.

  10. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone care to make a prediction of Fraser's price come GW 5?

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      12.5

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I said Fraser, not the combined price of Fraser and Wilson

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          4.5

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

      3.2

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Oh stop, I'm just about to take a - 4 to get him out

    4. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think he's going to be below 7.0 which has me thinking that will be a good time to get him

    5. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Depends how he does. It will probably stabilise for a week or two and maybe drop .1 more?

    6. ENZO SZN™
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      7.2

  11. Yoyoyoman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best under 8m mid?

    1. mookie
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial

      1. Dthinger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        too easy

        1. Yoyoyoman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Ok ok I'm sold

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial or Maddison

      Or even cheaper ones in Trossard or Mount

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Martial Trossard Cebellos Mount in that order

    4. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      And no one mention Trezeguet...

  12. Gunners n' Roses
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    On a Wildcard:

    Pope/Heaton
    Laporte/Digne/AWB/Montoya/Lundstram
    Sterling/KDB/Martial/Maddison/Donkey
    Firmino/Pukki/Deulofeu

    I'm not too worried about not having Salah/Mane or Kane/Auba; I have easy routes to either by downgrading KDB/Firmino

    Not too chuffed about Deulofeu, Jota or King better options? Maddison is a personal sort of punt but I want Siggy too

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Could easy do a 442 with Montoya so Delu to Greenwood and Firminho to kane. Probs prefer Jota and maybe even a punt like Maupay, how bad can it be?

      1. Gunners n' Roses
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Think I might even do Delu to Greenwood and Donkey to Trossard at this point, just so many mid options!

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not bad shout at all.

      Perez fixtures are about to get good. Give him a final chance.
      If you’re set on getting rid then B - Pukki is going to keep rising in price over next few weeks and his stats are great.

    This is turning in to a very long week on a WC!

    Any changes to this? It’s either Kane or Mane for me and you can have um all! We’ve all tried!

    Ryan
    AWB VD Digne
    Martial KDB Mount Sterling
    Barns Pukki Kane (C)

    Button Ceballos Lundstrom Soyuncu

    1. KDB4PREZ
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks very strong

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Barnes to Greenwood, mount to Son and Kane to Firminho would tempt me. Rotate between lundstram, ceballos and soyuncu. Benching headaches to come with that team

      1. Hits Central
        • 6 Years

        Options, gotta have options!

      Your keeper will be busy. City, Liv, Utd, Chel, Ars all away up to gw 15. In it for the save points?

      1. Hits Central

    2. KDB4PREZ

    3. Jimbo-Jones
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’m looking at similar. Also Robbo Perez King -> Pukki Martial + whoever you can afford.

      A. Nice fixture and prefer martial to Rashford. Can easy downgrade Kane if not working to get in Son, Pepe or KDB. Looks good. Not too sold on Mount myself, prefer Trossard or even Mcginn and money itb

        Cheers for input, I thought about Mcginn but I also have Wesley, gonna give him another game and hope for the best. Hopefully he can release his inner Benteke
