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.

    My fellow gaffers, appreciate your insight on these 2 combos, which one would u choose?
    My team consists of heavy hitters in MID + Kane up top, left 0.3mil ITB. Currently on WC.

    a) Soyuncu (or any 4.5m DEF) + Trossard + Barnes
    b) Mina + Cantwell or Douglas Luiz + Pukki

      A

        Thx Biggie..is B too kneejerk?

        1. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Just don't like any of those in B
          Soyuncu could prove good value for 4.5
          Trossard looks like a player and Brighton vastly improved
          Barnes probably the weakest link there

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

            Had the same thought really...

      A

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

        Thx buddy. I feel I needed some differentials in Trossard - seen him played, took some few good shots. Having said that, Cantwell's ownership is just 3.7% more than Trossard.

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

      B

      How many heavy hitters in midfield?

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

        With Mane, Sterling, KDB and Marshall Mathers..still B?

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

      I have a similar WC team
      Went for Trossard as 4th mid and Pukki

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

        Interesting but I'm not ready to lose any of my heavy hitters in midfield. Can't have it all I supposed.
        Good luck with your WC.

    Just made a $100 bet with a Liverpool fan who believes Firmino will score 20+ this season.

    The bet is if he scores 18 or more he wins, anything under I win.

    Fairly safe bet you’d say hey? Any reason I’m missing that makes Firmino score more goals this season?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Given the past, yeah.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wow easy $100 for you assuming PL goals only

      1. Helia
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Haha yeah, I almost feel bad

    3. AicilaXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Congrats on the $100.

      1. Helia
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Haha thanks!

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years

      You should be safe

    5. Party time
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Interested in Benteke to score no less than 5 goals this season? I say he score 5 or more. $ 350??

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          You'd need to get membership 1st or you would just disappear when he doesn't.

          1. Party time
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Hahaha

          2. Helia
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Hahaha If I knew you I would take that in a heartbeat.

            1. Party time
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Loool

          3. bigbudgie
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            20 is a lot of premier league goals

            22 last season was the golden boot for Mane/Auba/Salah

            Very safe bet imo

            1. Helia
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Huge amount. Its an amount that if he scored that much I’d assume liverpool won the league

          4. Vigorish
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yea, would think so. 18 is alot goals in EPL IMO.

          5. Lecky Legs FC
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            As a die hard Kopite I think your safe too but he's absolutely key player in our system and plays Arsenal who he loves scoring against I'm heading that game and will consider throwing the armband on him.

          6. Batchain
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I'm interested in the Benteke bet. You think he's going to 'explode' and get 6 or 7? Can't see it. 3 max.

        2. michudagawd
          • 11 Years

          Good to go?

          -4

          Pope
          KWP VVD Soyuncu
          Salah Perez Martial Trossard Sterling
          Pukki Kane (c)

          Button - Cathcart Greenwood Rico

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            G2G. Confident on Kane over Sterling captain?

            1. michudagawd
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I think it'll be close. I got Kane in this gameweek though with the intention of captaining him against the Magpies because I'm targeting players against Newcastle.

        3. Snipez21
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Is this worth it lads for a -4?
          And If so which def?

          Walker + Moura + Wilson
          To
          5.0 + De Bruyne + Pukki

          1. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Might be a bit late, price rises have taken their toll.

            1. Snipez21
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I can still make the change but which def up to 5.0 is best value? I have zinchenko so still have city courage at the back.

              1. michudagawd
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Have you wildcarded yet? Maybe KWP at home to Newcastle.

                1. Snipez21
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  No still have WC. I like that I never have considered him 2bf, I know rotation is a risk but I got WC to fall back on. Thanks for the reply.

          Do we think having Digne instead of Robbo is a good bet ??
          Have Defense of

          Robbo Taa Montoya Lundstram Rico

          Will do it next gw anyway as my FT this gw are used. But the 1m ££ can be used to upgrade Midfield/attack too.

          Thank you for your thoughts

            • 14 Years

            Given your defence, TAA would be better 🙂

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

              So you'd keep Robbo.
              Cheers TM. Taa can get massive hauls though. Pathetic defensively so can be dropped too 😀
              Agreed

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                4 years, 7 months ago

                Digne is pretty valuable atm.

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

            • 5 Years

            Upgrade Midfielder can be KDB/son for Vardy & Midfielder swap*

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

              That’s a minus 8 incoming 🙂

              If you wait 2 weeks to make that swap with a minus 4 KdB will be out of reach

              But yes I think Digne might be worth it. Not wholly convinced mind facing Palace (where cs was only down to Pickford) and Watford are a barometer of current cs strength.

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

                Ha ha
                I have 0.3 itb atm
                Can save FT this upcoming gw & do :
                Vardy Trossard Taa
                To
                Barnes KDB/Son Digne in gw 5

                Taa/Robbo to Digne can be done next gw too.
                What do you think ??

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

                  GW5 is worth planning for - look at those fixtures. Heavy hitter heaven

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

                    Exactly
                    Hopefully can save a FT in gw 4 now.
                    Cheers Pingi

                  Didn’t see question sorry

                  Yes I’d go next week probs. Double Liverpool defence away to Burnley seems excessive right now and this Jota owner knows for a fact that Wolves aren’t exactly banging then in - except in EL of course

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years

                    Ha ha
                    I need to WC 😀
                    There is a IB after gw 4 right ??

          3. Squeakybum99
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I downgraded Robbo early on Monday to fit Kdb and Martial. Have digne. And vvd as pool cover. Everton’s fixtures are good. Ideally i would have liked to keep Robbo but looking at the current state of things, it had to be done.

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

              Yeah
              Thankfully this gw has Digne some doubts so i can wait.
              Agreed with you though mate
              Cheers

            Can't have em all
            I had to lose Robbo to get KDB

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

              Hello BB
              Hope you are having a good start.
              I'm thinking about doing same. Taa looks more possible to get hauls instead of Robbo though isn't he ?? 😀
              Can get dropped too though.

              1. bigbudgie
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Decent enough start, sitting at 355K. I only have VVD now for LIV defence along with Laporte Digne Maguire

                TAA always has the possibility of hauling, yes, but I'm hanging onto the thought that they are not quite going to repeat the monster year they had last year in terms of defensive solidity. Attacking returns are nice, but preferably they are on top of near guaranteed clean sheets.

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

                  That is a solid Defense !!
                  I'd gave to WC to get anywhere near that tbh 😀
                  Maybe this is why I'm having a pathetic start. Will wait for another gw & then decide now.
                  Everton City Pool United looks awesome 4 man Defense !!

                  1. bigbudgie
                    • 9 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    We'll see. My moves were Robbo/Siggy/Wilson to Laporte/KDB/Jota -4. Very happy to get a city defender in

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

                      Nice
                      Wouldn't have gotten Jota personally
                      He's frustrating to own from start of the season for me

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

          Gtg? Stuck between Kane and Sterling for the band..Any suggestions?

          Ryan
          Vvd Zinchenko Robbo Dunk
          Sterling (c) Mcginn Pedro Salah
          Kane(vc) Pukki

          Button Dendoncker Greenwood Kelly

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

            Raz for safety & Kane for differential i guess

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

              Currently On Raz but very much inclined towards Kane..Have a feeling he will score big

          2. Francescoli
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Similar situation. I think if you own Kane you need to put it on him. Best striker at home against possibly the worse defence.

            1. TorresMagic™

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Surely that's Pukki?

              1. Francescoli
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Chelsea will tighten up 🙂

                Yeah?

                • 7 Years

                U suggesting Pukki for the band?

                  no

                  Best striker at home is Pukki though.

              4 years, 7 months ago

              Same sort of predicament for me also , but I haven’t got sterling.
              I think sterling should be a safe bet.
              Close second = Kane

            3. Rajveer
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Yes..Newcastle looks horrible..Kane(c) is very much tempting

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

              Fascinated by this worst defence schtick. Liverpool have a worse XGC this season

          3. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah, I have been juggling between Kane and Sterling all week.

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

              Sterling will give sureshot points..But Kane could score really big

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I have my doubts

        7. pablitosway12

        8. Keep Calm and Play On
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Last choice on the WC

          A) TAA-VVD-Pieters-Soyuncu-Lund
          B) Laporte-VVD-AWB-Lund-Kelly

          VVD could also be Laporte in A)
          Better rotation of 4.5 in B)?

          1. Francescoli
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            B.

            Don't get the Soyuncu love-in

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

              Me neither but Kelly is potentially a trap as well

            2. Keep Calm and Play On
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Me either TBH he just seemed to rotate well with Pieters and Cantwell

          2. sunzip14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Kelly is at risk from Cahill, No?

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

              Or Sakho LCB Dann moves to RCB

          3. The Man Pastore
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I prefer B

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

            B

          5. Keep Calm and Play On
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Cheers all B) could also be Digne-VVD-AWB-Pieters-Lund

        9. Gentlemens club
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Anything worth a hit here? Also, play Cathcart, Lundie or Dendoncker?

          Heaton
          VVD TAA Digne Cathcart
          Martial Salah Sterling Mount
          King Vardy

          Pope/Lundie/Dendoncker/Wickham

          1. Keep Calm and Play On
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Don’t like King but how much is ITB? I’d pick Dendonker only because he’s more advanced and Watford haven’t looked great

            1. Gentlemens club
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              0,3

              1. Keep Calm and Play On
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I know you missed the rise but surely King to Pukki would still be beneficial?

            2. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Den is playing Burnley this week

        10. Little Frank
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Finally have a WC team I haven't changed for the past hour, so I must be happy with it.

          Pope Button
          Digne AWB Dunk Soyuncu Lundstram
          Sterling KDB Martial Mount Cantwell
          Kane Firmino Pukki

          No Salah or Mane but I'll be captaining Sterling or Kane for the foreseeable future so hopefully it's a gamble that will pay off.

          Thoughts?

          1. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Solid. Assuming Dunk/Soyuncu rotate well?

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

              Well let's just say I'll be watching the game behind a large sofa hoping that Bobby can do the business for me.

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

                Oops, meant to reply to comment below. Yes they do rotate well in the short term at least.

          2. Rolls-Royce
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Surely you'll need one of Salah/Mane when they face Newcastle in a couple of GWs.

            1. Baltic Revolution
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              This

          3. sunzip14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            V good

        11. Longiss
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Thoughts on Cantwell?
          Wilson + Norwood -> Rashford + Cantwell for a hit?
          0,5 itb

          1. Keep Calm and Play On
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Unlucky to miss the rise/fall, Wilson to Rash is a good move but not sure about it for a hit, depends how long term you’re planning

        12. Baltic Revolution
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Who would you bet on this gameweek?

          A. Perez (shu)
          B. Emerson (nor)

          Obviously not sold on Perez away to a solid Sheffield defence, but Emerson would have me playing a 5-4-1...?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            A if you think Norwich score.

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

            I'd play Perez.

            1. Baltic Revolution
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Cheers - here's hoping Leicester finally come good...

          SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 2 RESULTS

          Back with a bang.... welcome to the first results of the series for Scout Picks Challenge!

          As will probably be a theme this year (again), I am currently in Chicago hence the delay in preparing this but no need to worry, this year I'm modifying the spreadsheet in ways which should *hopefully* make it much easier to update. That'll take a lot less time up for me.

          (I'll also add I had to update the spreadsheet for new teams etc. which I forgot about at the start of the season!)

          Also, great to see a lot of faces - old and new. I hope you all enjoy, and I'll do my best to keep this going properly this year.

          ***** GAMEWEEK RESULTS *****

          1st - Pingissimus (77pts) [3pts]
          Top 4% - MB10 (76pts), Whiskerz (75pts) [2pts]
          Top 10% - Double Trele (70pts), No kane No Gain (69pts), Vobinho (67pts), Polar_Bear (66pts), Van Klinkert Delarosa, FC Jammer (65pts) [1pt]

          with Polska Gola and TheBoose missing out on 64pts!

          Now with a slight adjustment this year - where there are no differentials, to keep the game fair with the Scout's advantage, I'll be substituting the Differentials with their substitutes bench for awarding bonus points.

          In this instance however... they scored exactly 77pts! Therefore no bonus points.

          ***** THE STANDINGS *****

          As you can imagine after the first week of the challenge... your top three are:

          1st - Pingissimus (3pts)
          2nd - MB10, Whiskerz (2pts)

        17. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Don't see many WC teams with Laporte... given the good run of fixtures and easy CSs why not?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            That Zinchenko guy.

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Mendy back in training though, only a matter of time before Zinch loses his spot imo

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                or Mendy gets injured.

                1. Pukki Blinders
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  hahaha yeah that's more likely.

          2. Keep Calm and Play On
            • 8 Years

            Debating getting him in myself

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Thinking of ditching VVD for him when fixtures turn for Liverpool. No Liverpool defence may hurt though

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

                Adrian short term cover and reassess later?

          3. sunzip14
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Kane or Salah, KDB/Sterling more attractive from City and 1 pool def plus Digne taking a lot of Cash, I believe.

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

            They prefer cheap defenders to fit in Kane, Sterling and Mane/Salah.

          SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 3

          Friday night game?! We're not getting caught out on those this year!

          Ladies and gentlemen, let's begin SPC GW3.

          ****** WHAT IS IT? ******

          For those of you who haven't been around or aren't aware, every evening prior to the start of the gameweek FFS releases their picks of players for the gameweek, "Scout Picks", as well as 3 differentials before the first games to separate yourself from the crowd.

          This is your way to have a bit of fun and challenge those scout picks with a set of your own (read instructions below). This will always open the day before the gameweek starts around 8pm, and whilst you don't have to play weekly, the more you play the better chance you have of winning!

          ****** INSTRUCTIONS ******

          Everyone can have their own scout picks (there is no limit on team value) but with one simple rule,

          YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE PLAYER FROM EACH TEAM
          (yes, two of your players at least will be on opposing teams).

          You can only have ONE submission, and your FIRST submission will be what is accepted. You also must respond DIRECTLY to this post (not to a reply on this post). FFS Scout Picks are automatically enrolled. Teams must comply with FPL formation rules and be submitted in an easy to read format, e.g.

          GK
          DEF DEF DEF
          MID MID MID MID
          FOR FOR FOR

          Deadline for this gameweek is Friday 22nd August 2019 at 19:00 BST.

          ****** SCORING ******

          Regardless of number of applicants, scoring will be done by the following:

          1st place: 3 points
          Top 4% of the population will rank "second" and score 2 points.
          Top 10% of the population will rank "third" and score 1 point.

          There is also a bonus point which everyone is eligible for. If you score higher than FFS' Scout Picks AND Differential Picks/Substitutes (i.e. 14 players), you will be awarded with a bonus point regardless of whether you were in the top 10% scoring positions or not.

          Welcome to the game, and good luck.

          Is taking KDB and Sterling too much or one of them will do?

            • 7 Years

            more the better

            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Easily both

          3. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Definitely not too much, KDB is great value at 9.6 for a ruthless City side in attack.

            Good double act

            KDB Assists
            Sterling scores

            Repeat 20-25 times this season

            • 14 Years

            Moise Kean to take over from him soon - one or two more favourable price changes in both directions beforehand

            Imo Norwich looks like a team that will score goals and he certainly looks like he will be involved. That said I'm not getting him(on WC) until fixtures get better.

            tough to argue with his stats thus far

          4. bigbudgie
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            No player has ever scored 4 goals in the first two premier league games. He's already scored as many hatricks as Salah did last season. Aguero was the only player to score more than one hatrick. But of course, he's Pukki, and he plays for Norwich. The Finnish Messi?

            He can blank the next 4 games and I'd still have gotten a decent 5 ppg from him 🙂

          Assuming Guilbert starts this week for Villa, would you start him or Dendoncker?

            Brighton attack looks to be a minefield this season

              Yeah would like to stick with gamble on Wesley with upcoming fixtures but -70% Just needs one return. Should've had assist last week but weak finish Trezeguet

            Gone for Trossard myself. Keen to see whether he backs up a good performance last gw.
            Can be a bargain

          Is Salah to Mane wise???
          Funds created will allow Perez >Martial also

            nope

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

            Yes

          3. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I would, Mane bang in form

          4. Any Laporte in a Storm
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Not sure. I did it though. Salah has returned a wee bit slow (for him) and Mane is off well. Will probably swing back and forth again.

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

              Will get 285 for the season if he keeps scoring at the same rate. Bit slow indeed !

              1. Salah’s Sonnet
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Mane to equally score just as big
