Chelsea assets blank as new Everton tactics pay dividends

Everton 3-1 Chelsea

  • Goals: Richarlison (£7.8m), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) x2 | Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m)
  • Assists: Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m), Tom Davies (£5.3m)
  • Bonus: Calvert-Lewin x3, Kovacic x2, Sidibe x1

Tammy Abraham (£7.9m), Mason Mount (£6.6m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.5m) all drew blanks in Gameweek 16, much to the frustration of their respective owners.

Having conceded 10 goals in the last three Gameweeks, Everton appeared to there for the taking but Duncan Ferguson’s introduction on the touchline, and his use of a 4-4-2 formation saw a totally different Toffees side in action against Chelsea.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) was the chief beneficiary from the change in system as he bagged a scrappy brace to ensure three points for the Toffees after Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) had matched Richarlison‘s (£7.8m) opener.

On the two-goal striker, Ferguson exclaimed:

I love Dominic [Calvert-Lewin]. I think he’s a very good player.

Richarlison modelled his opening goal on Duncan Ferguson’s trademark style

Richarlison scored the first goal of Ferguson’s interim reign with a header that the ex-Everton frontman would have been proud of. That was the Brazilian’s third goal in as many Premier League games.

Playing alongside Calvert-Lewin in an old-school two-man strike-force set-up, Richarlison nodded home from a Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) cross after Everton played the ball wide having won it from Chelsea in midfield.

Ferguson and his backroom staff had planned on getting at Frank Lampard’s men down their left-hand side, as he explained:

We talked in the analysts’ meeting about the wee bit of space we could get down that side [for the first goal].

Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison worked well together as a strike partnership

It was blood-and-thunder stuff from the Toffees in the opening 25 minutes, with Chelsea failing to test Jordan Pickford (£5.4m) as Everton’s pressure on the ball told.

Theo Walcott (£6.2m) almost found Richarlison with a low cross in the 11th minute, while Calvert-Lewin shot straight at Kepa (£5.5m) after a pass from the ex-Arsenal man.

Michael Keane (£5.3m) was fortunate that Chelsea didn’t punish his giveaway near the Everton area after 18 minutes as a heavy touch from Willian (£7.1m) blew the opportunity.

As the half wore on, Ferguson’s men grew slightly wearier as Chelsea came close to scoring a number of times. Abraham was just off connecting with a Mount cross from the left on 32 minutes and did not get enough contact on a Willian ball from the other side just before that.

Chelsea’ no. 9 was second only to Calvert-Lewin for expected goal involvement (xGI) in GW16’s early kick-off.

Reece James continues to get more league starts while Tomori has now been benched in each of the last two matches

The Toffees once more burst out of the traps after half time, with Calvert-Lewin doubling their lead having outmuscled Andreas Christensen (£4.9m) on the edge of the Chelsea box.

Richarlison then drove an attempt inside the box straight at Kepa before a Chelsea attack at the other end saw the Blues pull a goal back.

A cross from Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.8m) – operating at left-back – was cleared by Lucas Digne (£5.8m) into the path of Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m), who found the corner of Pickford’s net with a fantastic volley.

In the 59th minute, Walcott – as appeared to be the habit of Everton attackers – fired a shot at Kepa from an acute angle inside the box.

Azpilicueta was again Chelsea’s creator in the 79th minute, teeing up a Mount volley which was blocked by his namesake Mason Holgate (£4.4m). Pickford then saved a follow-up effort from the Spanish full-back.

Calvert-Lewin wrapped up three points for Everton in the 85th minute after a poor mistake from Kepa. The Chelsea keeper passed the ball straight to Walcott, who found DCL in the area.

His backheel gave Tom Davies (£5.3m) the chance to score but N’Golo Kante‘s (£5.0m) defensive efforts saw the ball spill to Calvert-Lewin, who made no mistake from close range.

Pulisic’s blank against Everton was his third in a row

Pulisic had a late opportunity to reduce the arrears but his header inside the area was easily saved by England no. 1 Pickford.

Ferguson added on his players:

They were a credit to the football club. A reaction we were looking for.

For his part, Lampard was not impressed with how Chelsea conceded. Asked if Everton’s goals were a case of sloppiness from his team, the Blues boss responded:

Yeah. The first goal, we’re aware that Richarlison is good in the air. The other two were just really poor defending from us. We looked like we were getting back into the game at 2-1, we can’t give away [those] ridiculous goals.

Everton XI (4-4-2): Pickford; Digne, Keane, Holgate, Sidibe; Iwobi, Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson, Walcott. ; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, James; Kovacic, Kante; Pulisic, Mount, Willian; Abraham.

    Son is an underrated player. Noone talks about Son moving to Bayern, Juventus, Barcelona etc. Why not?

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very selfish. Great for fantasy, not so much as part of an attacking unit. Great player though. World class

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Lol that is nonsense, Son is a superb team player.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Certainly wouldn’t fit in at Barcelona; that’s my point

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        5 assists in the last 5 games? Selfish.

        1. IRBOX ⚽
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Majority were ‘fantasy assists’

    2. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Because he is staying at Spurs...

    3. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No idea. He's a massive marketable asset too. He's the biggest star in South Korea. I suppose he looks happy and he has a long contract and nobody wants to deal with Levy?

    4. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very true, amazing payer!

    5. el polako
      • 6 Years

      Needs to be more consistant to be targeted by the biggest clubs.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Son is very consistent imo, nearly always puts his shift in!

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Very quiet spring 2019 and not great start of current season.

          He is a good player but to be considered by big clubs you need to deliever week in and out.

          1. Van der Faart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            The whole of the Spurs team was quiet in Spring 2019!

          2. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            more a team issue than a Son issue though

      2. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        In the last 3 seasons
        14 goals 9 assists
        12 goals 8 assists
        12 goals 8 assists

        And this season so far 5 goals and 9 assists.

        That's league only too. Hes had goal involvement in every game bar v United since the start of November this season.

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          6 real assist in each of those seasons.

          1. Van der Faart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Where do you pull that out of?

    6. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Barca need another young striker more than winger.

      Rashford, Tammy, Martinez, and Harland in their radar.

    7. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      All comes down to English teams investing in Asian fan bases.
      Big clubs in other countries don't care much.

    8. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs best player / goal of the season

    9. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Remember when i first notice him for Leverkusen i wanted him for Liverpool. Still think that would be great. Work his socks off, tactically sound, and gifted with pace and trickery and very direct.

  2. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford is playing like a man possessed. Hard to ignore now..

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

      True

    2. Jamizz
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The teams they have played in the last 2 aid their counterattacking potential. I want to see his performance when EVE give UTD 90% possession

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He played teams that gave Utd possession before city and Tottenham. He was fine vs villa Sheffield Brighton and Norwich, so you may as well forget waiting to see vs Everton.

        1. Jamizz
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Brighton, Norwich gave United possession, Which match did you watch? Sheffield played United like a championship team except for 7 freak minutes.

          1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Fair point about Sheffield, but you are still contradicting yourself because your admitting he’s recently played two teams that gave them possession (Brighton and Norwich) who he scored 2 goals and got an assist against.

            What more do you want?

            I’m a non owner, my reasons for not getting him is because I want to go different to my ML rival and get Kane. I’m just saying your reasons for not getting him just sound like your looking and trying to find any reason not to buy him.

            1. bench boost for every gamew…
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              When we look at which fixtures and what teams he´s scored there´s mainly vs teams that opens up an plays so i think you have a point. But this gives the team and Rashford better self-esteem which one can´t underestimate, and the ridiculous amount of pens they´ve got.. is that sustainable?

      2. tucaoneo
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Now that the big opponents are out of the way, fully expect Man United to be back to doing nothing.

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tempting.
      More so as I'm a United fan 😀

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

      Was my Tammy replacement. Despite the hit, still on a net positive

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep bought him in GW11 and it’s probably one of my good transfers in so long time ...

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

    Anyone with a worse captain return than 6 out of 16?

    10 times my captain has blanked this season. It's comical.

    1. Tcheco
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Perma cap an in-form player for 3-4 GWs straight. Should fix it

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That’s pretty good. Only 3 returns for me (hence the rank). Salah this GW was a nice change

    3. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 3 months ago

        5 blanks

      • Snooze ya lose
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        8 for me

        • 11 Years

        me
        My captain clicked for merely four time this season

      • tambourineman
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        7 returns here, most frustrating is VC picks have done better nearly every week.

        Total Captain Points : 150
        Possible Captain Points if you Always used your Vice-Captain instead : 234

      • SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        7 blanks here. But a few were only 1 assist so nothing much exciting.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

      who’d you prioritize getting:

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        sorry fast fingers ))
        a. Rash
        b. Tammy

        1. The Pesci challenge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          B

        2. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I got Tammy because I'm a Pool fan basically. Can't root for a United player but deep down I think Rashford is a better option. He's on pens, free kicks and is the focal point to his team's attack whereas there are more dangerous attackers in Chelsea.

        3. Tcheco
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          A right now

      First time as a FPL manager i did a knee-jerk transfer after Wednesday's games - Salah out Mane in - and i paid it dearly....At least my solace is (K)ane.

      Not owning Spurs assets really hurt me recently.
      Lets hope in the next two games they will be kept at bay.

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years

        Wolves away is a tough game for anyone.

      2. Pinturicchio10
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Depends who you've actually got, no? No Spurs players for me either, still jumped significantly in OR with Salah (c) and Guaita. 7 left to play 😀

          1. el polako
            • 6 Years

              • 7 Years

              I go Alli and Son. Kane is too expensive imo.

            Pope Heaton
            Aurier Matip* Baldock Soyuncu Kelly
            KdB Salah Mount Maddison Zaha

                • 5 Years
                4 years, 3 months ago

                Rested Mane? After travelling to Salzburg midweek plus a possible new manager bounce with Pearson. Vardy for me as Norwich plays expansive against any team home or away.

              Henderson
              TAA, Soyuncu, Lundstram
              Mane, Kdb, Alli, Son

              Subs: Button, Cantwell, Aurier, Rico

              1 FT, 0 in the bank

                  Could also move him on to Richarlison to fund Jimmy to Rashford next week?

                    Norwich will attack Wolves, which plays right into Nuno's counter-attack preferences. Not the best time to sell Jimmy

                      Thats an option.1 transfer to made still. Krul to another 4.5 is also possible. Otherwise im not keen on transferring anyone else out.

                    4 years, 3 months ago

                    Is a triple Spurs attack too much? I think I know the answer myself but this is kind of tempting:

                    Ryan
                    Lundstram Pereira Soy
                    Mané Son Alli Pulisic
                    Rashford Kane Vardy

                    Bench: Button Kelly Rico Dendo

                    Trying to squeeze Alli in alongside Son now. Can get him for Guendouzi if I also swap Alexander-Arnold out for Van Dijk. Both for free. Worth it? Got exact money though so it’d probably mean early transfers.

                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      Team at the moment:

                      Pope, Stekelenburg
                      TAA, Soyuncu, Rico, Lundstram, Kelly
                      Mané, Son, Maddison, Dendoncker, Guendouzi

                      You only need double Spurs mid from 19 and onward, you can wait a little before getting both.

                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 3 months ago

                        Having said that I see that Guendouzi is your 4th playing midfielder, so you need to upgrade him asap and TAA has a blank next week. So it does make sense to do now.

                    Salah (C) bailed out my lack of Spurs yesterday. Thought KDB could have gotten returns yesterday, and Arsenal will be obliging. I didn't watch the Spurs game but haven't been impressed with them even since JM took charge.

                    Hold KDB or swap for Alli/Son? Currently have 2 FTs but issues with Tomori and 3x Liverpool ahead of GW18.

                    1. Ze_Austin
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      Sort Tomori out now. Use the 2 FTs around the Liverpool blank. Get Spurs GW19 (or in GW18 for Pool players), even if it costs 1M extra

                        Useful, thanks mate. I've simply swapped for Kelly. Good luck!

                        Will save an FT.

                        Think Tomori is permanently benched by Frank now?

                        Is straight swap with Kelly the (best/only) answer?

                      Kind of tempted by KDB > Son again... but then have to remind myself that Son’s goal was about 0.000001 XG & surely he won’t do that every week, whereas KDB has a positively beautiful fixture next

                      And with loads of Euro action midweek it’s waaaaay too early for FT’s imo - wait till Saturday morning!

                        agreed, i was close to rage transfer tonight but Arsenal away vs Wolves away that really make me wonder if transfer is worth it this week. will go down a bit KDB but one would assume if he gets something vs Arsenal and Pool blank he could get a rise back and worst case scenario is 0.1 less when i sell.

                    1FT 0.6ITB still have the WC

                    Would you save the FT? I feel like i need to upgrade Montoya, and maybe Pulisic. No Alli and Tammy could be an issue but dont fancy tripling on Chelsea

                    Which do you think is more important and has a grt deal ??
                    Maddison > Alli
                    Pulisic > Alli
                    Thoughts ??

                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      I’d lose Pulisic before Maddison, but Pulisic has a nice fixture next week. Wait untill after CL

                        The price for Alli is increasing heavily can I wait ?? To shld immediately make the transfer cuz I have 2ft

                      4 years, 3 months ago

                      If you have no other pressing issues you should do Puli to Alli, as he might be rested if he plays midweek.

                      1. Akshatjazz
                        • 4 Years
                        4 years, 3 months ago

                        Even I think pulisic > Alli is better cuz for the last 2-3 gameweeks he has not given any return !

                    How's this team looking? Thank I'm fairly happy, not worth spending the casi itb for a hit.

                    Robbo & Jiminez to Aurier & Rashford

                    You’ve got to hand it to Rashford, he is flying... 15 returns in 16 GW’s is top notch...

                    He should get 30+ returns easily at this rate

                    Looks like he’s “finally” arrived, even though he’s only just turned 22

                      He looks incredible. Also hit the crossbar twice last two gameweeks. Can he keep it up against bottom half teams?

                      Do you own him? Are you looking to get him in? I was contemplating Jiminez > Tammy but Rash could be a nice alternative

                        I don’t own him, at least not yet, but not panicking yet either as my GW16 lineup is positively beautiful fixture wise at the minute

                        Guaita (BHA)
                        Chilwell, Maddison, Vardy (NOR)
                        TAA, Robbo, Salah (WAT)
                        Pulisic (BOU)
                        Lundy, Mousset (AVL)

                        Have to basically choose one of KDB (ars) or Alli (wol) for bench duties

                        Will see how midweek injuries go, and then how GW18 blank is shaping up

                    42 so far with Vardy, Perreira, Lund, Mousset and Hendo left. Hopefully stay within 150k, as a vardy owner but no captain I have no idea what's best

                      If Mousset wanted to triple return today I wouldn’t hold it against him

                      I own Vardy but need him to blank just so I can make further ground.

                    This GW looks like a freaking horror show, anyway save FT?

                    Is Holgate nailed?

                    Anyone else have Alli, Salah, Kane (c) yesterday? 🙂

                    Last week I dropped 70k to 250k, now back to 60k 😀
