Everton and Spurs serve up dismal game as Gomes suffers horror injury

Everton 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goals: Cenk Tosun (£5.7m) | Dele Alli (£8.4m)
  • Assists: Lucas Digne (£5.9m)| Son Heung-min (£9.6m)
  • Bonus: Serge Aurier (£4.8m) x3, Alli x2, Digne x1

Everton confirmed on Monday that Andre Gomes (£5.3m) has undergone successful surgery after the Portuguese midfielder suffered a “fracture-dislocation to his right ankle” in the Toffees’ 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur.

It was a 79th-minute tackle from Son Heung-min (£9.6m) that ultimately led to the hideous-looking injury, with Gomes subsequently trapping his leg in the turf as he collided with Serge Aurier (£4.8m).

Son received a straight red card for his challenge which, viewed in isolation, was of the cynical nature rather than anything too malicious.

The 7.1%-owned Spurs midfielder will, pending an appeal, now miss the Lilywhites’ next three league matches, returning for the Gameweek 15 clash with Manchester United in early December.

Mauricio Pochettino joined the chorus of players, managers, fans and pundits expressing sympathy for Gomes but voiced his disappointment at the decision to dismiss Son, with referee Martin Atkinson seemingly having been poised to book the South Korea international before the consequences of his tackle became apparent.

The visitors had been leading 1-0 at that stage and Everton went on to press their numerical advantage by scoring an equaliser late in stoppage time.

Asked if Spurs would appeal the red card, Pochettino said:

I don’t know. I don’t know what will happen now, the club will see if possible or not. What we cannot change is all that happened after the red card.

We are going to talk about the VAR because the VAR need to check if it was a bad tackle from Sonny and judge the action, not judge what happened after that was very bad luck for Andre. We feel very disappointed with this type of situation on the VAR. VAR to help the referee. I’m confused more with the situation. I was talking to the referee and they need help. They need to go check on the screen. They have the screen: why not?

At the end the decision because everything changed. I think the game was under control for Tottenham and I think we really believed that we would win the game at the end. The problem is playing with one less. And then we concede a goal playing with one less and it was very, very tough. It was completely unfair for Sonny and completely unfair for Tottenham.

It has since been reported that Spurs will try to get the dismissal overturned and it’ll be interesting to see what the response from the Football Association will be.

The early signs weren’t too positive, with the FA having seemingly doubled-down on Atkinson’s decision to send off the South Korean attacker when releasing a statement just after full-time:

The red card for Son was for endangering the safety of a player which happened as a consequence of his initial challenge.

Son had earlier registered his seventh attacking return in the last eight Gameweeks, teeing up Dele Alli (£8.4m) for the game’s opening goal.

The match had been drifting towards a goalless draw at that point, with the two teams serving up one of the most forgettable encounters of the 2019/20 campaign.

Everton and Spurs have struggled for form this season and there was nervousness from both teams at Goodison Park, with Fantasy managers given little incentive to invest in either side – especially in attack.

Spurs were almost non-existent going forward, registering only four shots all evening, and even their goal stemmed from a misplaced pass from Alex Iwobi (£5.8m) rather than anything they carved out themselves.

The unavailability of Harry Kane (£10.8m) was a mitigating factor, with Lucas Moura (£7.0m) proving to be an ineffectual spearhead in his absence.

The England striker missed out with illness, with Pochettino saying ahead of kick-off:

He and his family got a virus and started to feel bad on Friday night. It was impossible for him to train on Saturday and now he cannot play.

Christian Eriksen (£8.7m) was poor yet again and, with Son suspended next weekend, owners of John Lundstram (£4.8m) and co might be growing increasingly confident of a clean sheet when Sheffield United visit north London in Gameweek 12.

Alli’s goal was at least a positive and there may be a modest bit of Fantasy interest in the former MK Dons man, who has now completed three successive 90-minute run-outs in the league and scored two goals in that time.

Everton weren’t much better, with Richarlison (£7.9m) – again leading the line – carrying what little threat the hosts posed.

The Brazilian twice tested Paulo Gazzaniga (£4.5m) and fired wide in the first half, later being denied a penalty when tumbling in the box.

That was one of three claims for a spot-kick refuted by VAR, with a challenge on Son and an Alli handball not punished.

Everton’s Fantasy assets seem to be in a “don’t buy, don’t sell” limbo at present – the Toffees next face two of the most obliging defences in the Premier League and owners of Richarlison et al may be reluctant to part ways before matches against Southampton and Norwich.

An awful run of fixtures from Gameweeks 14-18, coupled with some indifferent form, may deter many non-owners from venturing near the Toffees despite their upcoming double-header, however.

There were some success stories at Goodison, with Aurier’s 88th-minute substitution meaning that he not only banked a clean sheet before Everton’s equaliser but also claimed maximum bonus points to go with it.

Lucas Digne (£5.9m), meanwhile, was staring down the barrel of a blank before his superb volleyed cross was nodded in by substitute Cenk Tosun (£5.7m) for the hosts’ late leveller.

Indeed if any Fantasy assets could take credit from Sunday’s game, it was the two defences – although the relative solidity of Spurs and Everton’s backlines, who have only two clean sheets between them in the last nine Gameweeks, was aided by the toothlessness of their opponents in attack.

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Sidibe, Holgate, Mina, Digne; Davies (Calvert-Lewin 83′), Gomes (Sigurdsson 84′), Delph; Walcott (Tosun 68′), Richarlison, Iwobi. 

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Aurier (Foyth 88′), Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Ndombele (Lo Celso 73′), Sissoko; Son, Eriksen (Sessegnon 90′), Alli; Lucas.

      Are you still going to own Otamendi by the deadline?

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        As you can see, at least I have other options. Ayway, he can drop how much as he want as I lost fookin 0.2m on him.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, I lost 0.1m last night. So annoying how everyone is making transfers before CL games.

          Why not bring in a Chelsea defender or say Janmaat vs Norwich? Can’t see Otamendi regaining his place anytime soon, unfortunately.

    Which 3 would you rather play every week:
    Sterling, Vardy and Saka/Dendoncker
    Or
    KDB, Vardy and Maddison?

    1. Tsparkes10

      B

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      KdB Party and Maddison ofcourse

      1. Klip Klopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        then I have to lose Sterling 🙁

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          But you keep KdB and get Madds

        2. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          KDB and Maddison together are better than just Sterling. Hell, KDB alone is arguably the better pick anyway.

          1. iL PiStOlErO
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Listen to Messi

            1. 3 A
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Yes. Messi is G.O.A.T. He knows everything about football.

  4. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    A) Pukki & KDB/Sterling > Vardy & Maddison
    B) Greenwood, Sterling & Pukki > Vardy, Tielemans & Jimenez (-4)
    C) Greenwood, Sterling, Pukki & Cancelo > Vardy, Maddison, Jimenez & 4.7 def (-8

    A or B mates for my WC, mates?

    Gazza Button
    TAA Lund - - Rico
    Mane KDB - - Hayden
    Abraham Jimenez Vardy

    A) Robbo, Chilwell, Maddy, Mount (mostly 3-4-3)
    (+) really like the team balance
    (-) very hard to bench defenders, big chance to have hauls on the bench

    B) Soyuncu, Janmaat/Jetro , Sterling, Traore (mostly 4-3-3)

    (+) easier to choose the starting 11
    (-) not a fan of 4-3-3, hasnt been my tactic on previous occasions

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      A

  7. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    What would you do here?

    A) Salah&Son&Connolly to Mane&Martial&Jimenez for -4

    B) Son&Dendoncker to Martial&Tielemans

    C) Son to Martial

    D) Son to Spurs mid (Alli?)

    E) other

    Pope Button
    TAA Soyuncu Lund Guilbert Rico

    I'm very tempted to do Sterling - > Tielemans.

    Madness?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Thats probably too much

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

      Maddison and Pulisic better if u dont have one

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, but it depends on where the spare cash goes.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'll be doing it. Had Maddison before FOMO hit and I brought Sterling in.

      Didn't turn out too well, now he's a bit pricy is I want a 7-odd mill mid to partner in midfield.

      Likely Sterling > Tielemans, then DEF > Robertson, then Cantwell > Pulisic etc.

  9. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pope (Button)
    TAA Tomori Soy (Lund Otamendi)
    Mane Sterling KDB Martial (Saka)
    Abraham Jimenez Maupay

    Sterling, Maupay > Mount, Vardy?
    With money ITB next week for Ota > Robbo.
    Thoughts on this?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That move looks very tempting to be fair!

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Make sure you leave enough money. Otamendi plummeting and Robertson rising.

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

        Got enough, might have to pull the trigger after the Friday deadline tho, see how it goes.

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

          Acc I only have 0.1ITB after the move so if Robbo rises and Ota falls before deadline i'm gonna have to do it early if worse comes to worse. Should mean I can save next week at least.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Planning to bring Robertson in a week early as a result of the price swings. Only have 0.1m to spare now.

            Thankfully Liverpool play tomorrow, so can wait for team and injury news.

        2. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          After Leicester thrashed Southampton, Otamendi was 5.6m and Chilwell was 5.4m. It’s now Otamendi at 5.3m and Chilwell at 5.6m.

          Crazy stuff

  10. Viper
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Any ideas what to do with this?

    Heaton

    Robertson Lundstram Tomori (Montoya Rico)

    Mané KDB Sterling Mount Mcginn

    Abraham Vardy

    1FT, 0.4m itb, WC intact

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, looks fine. Might want to ugrade Heaton in a couple of games and I think Montoya should go for someone like Willems, but these are cosmetic tinkerings, roll FT.

  11. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    How do you choose who to bench in defence (3-4-3 ) from TAA Robbo - starting and then Chilwell Lundstram and Rico fighting for only one place every GW?

    There will always be a chance to be very angry at the haul on the bench?
    I guess there are other players in this situation, advices mates?

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

      I pick some and then end up benching 34 points like I did this week. Maybe don't do what I do and u'll be fine.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes it’s a problem. It’s why I didn’t go for Chilwell as I had Robertson planned and didn’t want to bench decent defenders like Dunk, Lundstram and Tomori.

      Still, good to have a strong bench.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Well I wont feel any better benching Soyunchu though 😀

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          You can bench Rico most weeks. I think you’re fine 🙂

          1. HD7
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Need to bench 2, not 1 mate...so Lundstram with those nice fix...

            I cant believe the rich choice we have ... Im not even mentioning Guilbert or Tomori

            1. Twisted Saltergater
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah true! Funny season this for value.

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Easy. You don't own TAA AND Robbo, just one of them. Even with Alisson back they are not tight at the back, there are plenty of other options on roughly the same points for a million or two cheaper (or more), includng the ones you've mentioned. Put the spare cash into midfield.

      I fear the double-up in defence when the fixtures turn is going to burn a lot of people.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Robertson and TAA are averaging around 5 ppg. Don’t think you gain much by risking a 7m midfielder other than the Chelsea and Leicester lads.

        1. Phil's Stamps
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          4.7 & 4.5, but as you suggest it seems makes more sense to put the money into Chelsea & Leicester midfielders. They still a long streak of good fixtures ahead and no blank.

          I'm leaning towards Mane Salah TAA but still undecided. It just seems the the Liv pair are not hitting the highs of last season.

          1. Phil's Stamps
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Though obviously Salah isn't either. Maybe Mane TAA/Robbo is the way to go?

      2. HD7
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Heres the WC team currently, so what changes would you make up front?

        0.2 ITB

        Gazza
        TAA Lund Robbo
        Mane Mount KDB Maddy
        Abraham Jimenez Vardy

        Subs: Button, Chilwell, Rico, Hayden

  12. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    FPL has completely changed. Nearly every active player makes their transfers by the end of the weekend. Heaven forbid you should have players playing on a Monday night.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I've adapted, used to always wait till late in the week. This season I've occasionally made my transfers before a GW has even finished...TV is soaring at well over 105m+

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I’ve regressed lol. Always used to be aggressive with my transfers but now seems to be the time to not take hits as the big guns aren’t firing.

        I should’ve been more decisive with Otamendi I guess but had other fires to put out.

  13. davies

        I'm planning to use my Wildcard after the next international break.

        However, I have a FT to use.

        I'm going to treat it in a "Hail Mary" fashion i.e. a high risk move but looking for maximum effect

        Any thoughts?

        Where is TAA? I'd probably get Barnes instead of Maddison, Mount instead of Martial and upgrade one of your defenders.

        Does that keeper combination rotate well? I'd be tempted to bring in Henderson for SHU's fixture turn.

      Any Rashford owners considering captaining him this week?

      I have Vardy, but BRI is pretty plum even for United

        Really? I don't think Brighton are as big of a pushover as you're making them out to seem.

        Decent form, Trossard back has given them confidence. Potter not afraid oo tweak formation to suit the opponent.

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

          Not saying they are a pushover. Decent form, but not a watertight defence, and they are away from home.

          • 12 Years

          nice, like the TAA and Robbo double. I just feel that I'll want Salah when fit.

    16. Sz21
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Thoughts on the next move here.

      1. Salah -> Mane. (A little sideways but Salah looks not close to 100% atm).
      2. Sterling-> Maddison/Martial. Frees up 5+ mil which allows an easy double up with TAA in defence for Liv as well Wick/Cantwell upgrades.
      3. Save FT. Give it another GW to decide.

      Pope.
      Robbo, A Smith, Lundstram, Janmaat.
      Mount, Sterling, KDB, Salah.
      Abraham, Vardy.
      Button, Cantwell, Soyuncu, Wickham.
      1ft. 0.8m ITB. WC in hand so can take a gamble or 2.

      Like my team a lot but how do you choose the defender to start in 3-4-3 alongside TAA and Robbo?

          Thanks bro... but isnt it “too good”. Every Gw possible bench hauls and headaches?

            • 4 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Well you can downgrade Rico or keep this team and even try BB, it can pay off

            1. HD7
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Have Rico from the start -4.0 😀 King Midas story :DD

      2. ppv
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Can bench Mount against City and covers you for injuries. Lund won't score 21 every week, although I'm not benching him!

        1. HD7
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah I think If Mount doesnt get back in form I will probably rotate him with defenders.
          Have him since Mount was 6M, so cant sell him easily

      3. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        good team it'll be hard to bench three but not the worst problem to have

      Why is Martial being bought so rapidly ??

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        some people love him and they have good fixtures. i dont see it myself.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years

          plays for united, injury prone, awful mentality - no thanks

      2. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        He's behind McGinn and Mount in the list, and just ahead of James and McTominay. Played full game upfront and two home games in next three. Hardly surprising.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years

            NABS KEBABS 3 days, 14 hours ago
            Can't you do Wilson to Jimenez and Maddison to Martial this week?

            NABS KEBABS 3 days, 14 hours ago
            Just feel that Martial has way more explosiveness and potential value in him. Maddy ticks over though.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              that was before united played bournemouth.

            2. Nabs Kebabs
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              these were my initial thought on martial

              https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/21076850

              got sucked in by the hype after norwich but looks like my initial thoughts were correct

    20. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone considering getting rid of KDB and keeping Sterling only in order to afford triple Pool for their good run of fixtures?

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

        not really. the city form is a concern but so is salahs.

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

        The other way round if anything, Sterling is way more worth letting go than KDB

        B and beef up that midfield. Cantwell and Dend are both 2 pointers

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cantwell doesn't even look like a 2pter now!
          Thanks

      3. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Problem is both auba and digne have Southampton and Norwich in their next 3. And they are bringing in some points.

      4. ppv
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cantwell to Grealish but probably not worth a hit as you have defensive options

    22. Futbol Heritage
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      For people with 2 or more Premium defenders (>=5.5m), Is Lundstram a certain starter every week in your team? Does he start this week vs Spurs?

      If he doesn't, why not? He doesn't really need the stats to back it up at this point but has the same xGI/90 as Robertson, SHU one of the best defence at the moment. Tottenham are below United.

      TAA & Mendy were the certain starters in my team but Lundstram is making me question that.

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

        Yeah he plays every GW for me, not matter who it’s against, absolutely nailed, why wouldn’t he be?
        Is Mendy even a regular starter?

        1. Futbol Heritage
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Fair. Brought him in for Saints and would be brutal to watch him return but its the right call I think

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

            So did i, even after his never ending fails. He couldn’t even score against Saints, Brighton, Norwich, Wolves, or Palace. For a guy that much value, it’s a definite no. Especially now he has 6 straight slogs of games ahead, he’ll let a lot of people down imo.
            I got a sniff if faith in him hoping he’d turn it around, but no, worthless. The right call indeed.
            I’ve booted him for Mane and i won’t even be considering him back for at least 10 GW’s, if ever.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        it will get to a stage where you view Lundstram as your third defender every week and have playing fodder for your 4th and 5th defenders, or you play 434 or 442

        Doherty, AWB etc as examples of this recently

        But I will still be benching my third defender v Chelsea if the 4th & 5th defenders have easier home fixtures

      3. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I have same issue, my defenders are TAA, Pereira, Mendy, Rico and Lundstram.
        Very tough decision to make. I think I will start Lundstram in a back four. It's too risky to bench him.
