Richarlison leads Everton line again as King returns for Bournemouth

Richarlison (£7.9m) starts upfront for Everton for the second week running as his side travels to face Brighton.

The Brazilian was one of the Toffees key performers in the much-needed Gameweek 9 win over West Ham and Marco Silva has kept faith in him.

Supporting Richarlison in his free-ranging centre-forward role is an attacking midfield trio of Theo Walcott (£6.2m), Alex Iwobi (£5.8m) and Bernard (£6.5m).

Djibril Sidibé (£5.3m) keeps his place in the XI despite Seamus Coleman (£5.4m) returning from suspension, who is handed a place on the bench.

Brighton retain faith in the 4-4-2 system used in their defeat to Aston Villa, Steven Alzate (£4.5m) coming in for the suspended Aaron Mooy (£4.8m) and Leandro Trossard (£5.8m) still on the bench.

Josh King (£6.3m) returns to the Bournemouth side after featuring only as a substitute against Norwich.

Crucially, a first start for Arnaut Danjuma (£5.8m) on the left of the midfield means that the Norwegian is back up-front alongside Callum Wilson (£8.0m).

Harry Wilson (£6.1m) drops to the bench as Ryan Fraser (£7.1m) starts on the right of midfield.

Eddie Howe’s men travel to face a Watford side that seems to be settling into a 3-5-2 system.

Adam Masina (£4.3m) comes in for the suspended Jose Holebas (£4.7m) at left-back while Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) starts in the place of the injured Danny Welbeck (£5.9m) up-front.

Finally, Fabian Balbuena (£4.3m) comes into the West Ham defence for his first start since Gameweek 1, Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) dropping to the bench.

Pablo Fornals (£6.1m) is also demoted there, so that Andriy Yarmolenko (£6.0m), Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) and Felipe Anderson (£6.9m) can support Sebastien Haller (£7.4m) in attack.

As expected, John Lundstram (£4.6m) holds his place in the Sheffield United midfield as Callum Robinson (£5.3m) and David McGoldrick (£5.4m) start up-front.

Brighton XI: Ryan; Burn, Webster, Dunk, Montoya; Alzate, Pröpper, D Stephens, Groß; Maupay, Connolly.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Holgate, Keane, Sidibé; A Gomes, T Davies; Bernard, Iwobi, Walcott; Richarlison.

Watford XI: Foster; Kabasele, Dawson, Cathcart; Masina, Chalobah, Cleverley, Doucouré, Janmaat; Pereyra, Deulofeu.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; Rico, Aké, S Cook, Smith; Danjuma, Billing, Lerma, Fraser; J King, C Wilson.

West Ham XI: Roberto; Cresswell, Diop, Balbuena, Zabaleta; Noble, Rice; Anderson, Yarmolenko, Snodgrass; Haller.

Sheff Utd XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Robinson, McGoldrick.

    It's Poppy season again. It comes around so quickly. Great to see a USA style jingoistic conformity writ large and broadcast to an Orwellian populace.

      I still contribute but i stopped wearing a poppy when it became obligatory to wear one at all times or suffer abuse from bores saying “where’s your poppy?”. A very noble cause has been hijacked by some unsavoury elements.

        I agree. Like most things it's only power comes from choice otherwise it's North Korea.

    Three nice fixtures for Everton, then they go to crap for a while. Think I'll put them on hold for now...

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years

      what do you mean - go to crap. They have been like that for months

    Fredricks being benched is a right kick in the balls!!

    Aguero out?

    1. Halftime

      I'd like to but if he starts against Southampton it could be gold

      Why do you think the worst team in the league might concede?

    VAR Decision: Goal Everton - Brighton and Hove Albion 1-1 Everton (Richarlison).

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      As a dilva owner be nice if that held as a minor payback

      1. *sigh*
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Flipping Var eh?

  20. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    So when will they change the goal to Silva? Mendy assist and 3bps is a bit sickening.

  21. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Digne assists once I sell him.

    1. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I still have him but Le Tissier on sky said it may be changed to an OG so would be no Digne assist.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Bullet dodged.

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Im riddled with bulletholes

  22. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    So is the KDB goal (and Mendy assist) standing then? Don't see what the debate is personally. VAR have rightfully deemed that the available footage is not conclusive enough to prove that Silva touched it and therefore show a clear and obvious error. So no offside and KDB goal.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      It's under review

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        What is there to review? It just isn't possible to change it to a Silva goal. If they were to now say he touched it then the goal would have to be chalked off due to Sterling being offside and obscuring the view of the keeper at the point Silva touched it. Clearly that can't happen.

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      The blind lot think Silva got a touch

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Come on man if you know anything about football you know he got a touch, does he seem like the kind of player who'd claim a touch he didn't get? He usually passes it when he's clean through for godssake

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            My point being if they reclassify then it should be chalked off completely anyway....
            Why retrospectively change goalscorers but not actual goals themselves?

        • Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          He probably did get a touch (Dilva is not Kane lol), but it can't be retrospectively awarded due to VAR. Without VAR it could be.

      2. I know nothing
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        as kdb (C) bhuhahahahahaha

      3. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. If Silva had touched it, then it should have been disallowed, but VAR could't find 100% evidence that there was a touch after De Bruyne's cross, so they didn't change the initial decision and hence KBD's goal stands.

        1. BigBillyBass
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Perfect explanation
