Everton’s budget FPL assets underline appeal but tricky fixtures lie in wait

West Ham United 1-1 Everton

  • Goals: Issa Diop (£4.4m) | Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m)
  • Assists: Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) | Mason Holgate (£4.5m)
  • Bonus: Holgate x3, Calvert-Lewin x2, Mark Noble (£5.0m) x1

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m) rewarded his growing army of Fantasy fans with another goal in an evenly-matched encounter at the London Stadium.

The Everton striker has seen his ownership rise from 62,000 to over half a million since Gameweek 16, and he responded with his sixth strike of that run.

Chances to cash in on his form and budget price are receding, however.

The Toffees’ short-term schedule is solid enough (NEW, wat, CRY) but turns ugly after that, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Leicester and Spurs to play over seven brutal Gameweeks.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side fell behind when Issa Diop (£4.4m) glanced home a Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) free-kick. It was only the defender’s second-ever league goal for the Hammers, while the Scot’s delivery confirmed he is a man in form, with a goal and two assists from his last three starts.

The lead lasted just four minutes, Calvert-Lewin athletically heading in from Mason Holgate’s (£4.5m) flick-on, and chances then came and went for both sides.

Hammers striker Sebastien Haller (£7.0m) had the best opportunity for the home side, only to shoot straight at Jordan Pickford (£5.3m) from close range, while Theo Walcott (£6.2m), Calvert-Lewin and Tom Davies (£5.3m) threatened, but couldn’t convert, at the other end.

Maximum bonus points went to Holgate, who has now produced returns in four of his last six starts. His price, and 1.8% ownership, mark him out as a budget differential, but that horrible upcoming fixture list is likely to put off all but the bravest of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers.

West Ham’s assets are equally vexing, despite Gameweek 24’s double helping of matches.

Those two games are away at Leicester and home to Liverpool, and while a Gameweek 25 visit from Brighton looks appealing, the fixtures that follow are anything but: mci, liv, SOU, ars, WOL, tot, CHE.

David Moyes has brought some much-needed stability to a talented, if flaky, set of players, but one win, a draw and a defeat from his three-match tenure is hardly the classic ‘form over fixtures’ justification for investment in their assets.

Snodgrass could be the exception, having registered an attacking return in each of his last three starts.

At least rotation might not be an issue, if Moyes’ post-match comments are to be believed:

We’re a bit short on the bench at the moment, we’ve just not got loads of changes we can make just now, but I’d rather have people here who we know and who we know are going to be reliable, rather than trying people who we don’t exactly know what we’re going to get from them.

Even so, the Fantasy jury will probably remain out on West Ham’s stars, as it should do for assets from both sides until their respective fixtures ease towards the end of the season.

As for those managers already invested in the 11%-owned Richarlison (£8.1m), a return to action in the midweek match at home to Newcastle looks on the cards.

The Brazilian missed Saturday’s encounter, with Ancelotti relatively optimistic that the issue is a minor one:

His problem is on his knee, he had a little twist, but nothing special. I hope he will be available on Tuesday.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Randolph; Zabaleta, Diop, Ogbonna, Cresswell; Rice, Noble; Snodgrass, Fornals (Masuaku 60′), Lanzini (Ajeti 84′); Haller.

Everton XI (4-4-2): Pickford; Coleman, Mina, Holgate, Digne; Walcott (Sidibe 57′), Davies, Delph, Bernard (Gordon 46′); Calvert-Lewin, Kean (Niasse 74′).

Members Analysis

Newcastle United 1-0 Chelsea

  • Goals: Isaac Hayden (£4.3m)
  • Assists: Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.4m)
  • Bonus: Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) x3 Reece James (£5.0m) x2 Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) x1

Newcastle’s last-gasp win over Chelsea wasn’t exactly daylight robbery, but only due to the fact that the match had an early evening kick-off.

The winning goal from Isaac Hayden (£4.3m) came in the darkest depths of the 94th minute following the Magpies’ one and only corner as Frank Lampard’s side dominated possession (69.7%) and attempts (19 v 7) but failed to turn any of that into goals.

The Blues also failed to trouble home keeper Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) unduly, with just three of those 19 shots forcing him into a save.

Chief culprit was Chelsea’s most popular FPL player Tammy Abraham (£7.9m).

The 34.5%-owned striker saw the whites of Dubravka’s eyes on a couple of occasions, being unable to finish when rounding the Magpies’ shot-stopper and then seeing an apologetic effort hooked clear from inside the six-yard box as it slowly bobbled goalwards.

Lampard was at pains to deflect blame away from his profligate striker, though, saying:

We can’t absolutely rely on Tammy Abraham. We have to have goals from across the front line if we want to bridge the gap upwards. Tammy has been fantastic this season – it didn’t quite come off for him today, but that’s football.

At the other end, the goal machine (of the past few days at least), Joelinton (£5.5m), hit the bar with a header, but Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.5m) had precious little else to do until he failed to keep out Hayden’s decisive header from Allan Saint-Maximin‘s (£5.4m) pinpoint cross.

The victory came at yet more cost, injury-wise, for Steve Bruce’s side, however.

Their latest victim was Jetro Willems (£4.6m), who had to be stretchered off with a knee problem after just 11 minutes.

The manager was less than optimistic about the defender post-match:

It looks a horrendous injury for Jetro, which is a big blow to us. We fear it’s his cruciate. We’re due a bit of luck. I’ve never known anything quite like it over the last few weeks, so we’re due.

Willems was replaced by Matt Ritchie (£5.3m), who is only just back from a long-term knee injury himself, while four defenders – and five other squad members – are now out for the foreseeable future.

Newcastle remain a tricky team to exploit, Fantasy-wise.

The six clean sheets they’ve kept puts them joint-seventh, but only five teams have conceded more than the 34 goals they’ve shipped and the 22 they’ve scored is only two more than the league’s most toothless sides, Bournemouth and Watford.

Dubravka, with 89 points, is easily the team’s most productive player, and his 91 saves is a league-leading figure.

Other than that, too many players are scoring too few points too inconsistently to promote investment, which is a shame when Newcastle have an excellent schedule all the way through to Gameweek 34.

As for Chelsea, Lampard’s reliance on youth is, perhaps, starting to bite him.

They’ve experienced two defeats in their last three home matches and have had a curious stretch of away games in which they’ve won at Arsenal and Spurs, but only drawn at Brighton and now lost to Newcastle.

Their immediate schedule involves three home matches in the next four games, but those will be against Arsenal, Manchester United and Spurs, with their one road trip taking them to Leicester.

That is unlikely to inspire purchases of their key players, at least until Gameweek 28, when their fixtures improve immeasurably for the rest of the season.

Newcastle United XI (5-4-1): Dubravka; Krafth (S Longstaff 71′), Fernandez, Lascelles, Clark, Willems (Ritchie 12′); Almiron, Hayden, Shelvey (M Longstaff 84′), Saint-Maximin; Joelinton.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Kepa; James (Emerson 75′), Rudiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta; Kante, Jorginho; Hudson-Odoi, Mount (Barkley 67′), Willian; Abraham (Batshuayi 80′).

    Hello all,

    Rashford and Soyboy ->

    A) DCL + Robbo/VVD
    B) Jimi + Gomez
    C) Greenwood + Salah(TC) and play Soy.. Urgh

    Thanks all. Would be for a -4.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Actually I wouldn't play Soy.. Hmm

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      A

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        What about Rashford and 2nd keeper to Firmino(TC) and 4.0

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          If you are comfortable with Firmino, then its fine. Personally I find him inconsistent! 😀

    3. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Whose fixtures are better, Jimi or DCL?
      I think both has difficult fixtures ahead

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

    I have Robertson, Salah and mane. Is this need to change Robertson to TAA?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not

  8. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If Vardy doesn't score against hammers, I think I am gonna look to bring Auba in - they got some good home fixtures in succession coming up

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same. I may go all out and get rid of Kevin and Vardy.

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not Kevin!

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Its not like having him is improving my rank 😛

          1. Bushwhacker
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Not having him will hurt worse!

            1. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah, just like this week. Useless captain.

  9. akhilrajau
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    To include west harm mid for double who u prefer between noble and Snodgrass?

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If I had to, I would pick Snodgrass

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

      Snodgrass. More attacking.

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Noble's on penalties though.

        1. tokara
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          May not play both games

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

      Snodgrass

  10. 420king
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I can't decide:
    A) Rashford to Firmino
    B) Rashford to Jimenez(or lower), Traore to Salah (-4)

    I know A looks more sensible for this round, but I plan to keep the Pool guy for quite a while so -4 might be worth it in this case?

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on how much you think Salah will outscore Firmino in the next few GWs

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Could be longer than just the next few tbh, considering their form and fixtures.

    2. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I was in a similar position to you but took a -4 to bring Ings and Robbo in, rather than Rash straight to Firminio for free since I don't really trust Firminio and wouldn't want to keep him longer than the double GW.

      Taking the -4 also allowed me to deal with Doherty who has been a bit of a disastrous punt.

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That makes sense. I already have Ings and DCL so Jimenez is the best I can get around that price range, but not really convinced due to his bad fixtures. Thanks.

  11. cescpistols111
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What should i do to replace Rashford? 1FT, 0.0 ITB. Ok with taking a -4 hit too.

    McCarthy McGovern
    Robertson Lundstram Kelly Kabasele Rico
    Mane KDB Alli Grealish Dendoncker
    Vardy Rashford Abraham

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      You probably want to downgrade Alli or Abraham to upgrade Rash to Firmino

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Really depends if you want a 3rd Pool player.

    3. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Too many rubbish in defence, Dendo. Upgrades needed everywhere. Rashford => DCL or Ings and Rico => TAA

    4. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rashford to DCL (or Ayew) & Alli to Salah?

  12. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Doucoure or Trossard?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Trossard's fixtures looks better

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Is he nailed tho?

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Not sure about that but he should start majority of the games

        2. BNMC
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I don't think any BHA attackers are nailed.

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

    To TC Salah or not doing my head in tbh

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      2 away games, neither of which could be that high scoring. Im saving for later.

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

        ok agree on the fixtures but saving for who instead? Are you just blindly hoping there will be a better option?

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yup, there usually are a few towards the end of the season.

          1. Klein
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Dunk(TC) this time.

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

      Not considering Mane or dont have him?

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

        got him in but not considering over Salah. Pens sway it to Salah.

        1. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          And Mane is struggling to hit a barn door.

  14. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which one to Robbo for -4?

    A. Sidibe
    B. Soyuncu
    C. Make one of A or B to VVD rather than Robbo

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      A

    3. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B by far. Everton have a great fixture this week.

  15. BNMC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    If everything goes well then DGW24 could be my first ever 100-point week. My highest ever was 97, and that was in a single week and no chips.

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Cannot agree more

    2. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not to concern you. but when I have this kind of feeling I usually score around 30 in my experience.

      1. Lazaretti
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Very true

      Sounds good on paper.

  19. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Rash > Jimmy for FT?

    Or save & let Lundy come in in case Son doesn't look good v Norwich which allows Rash > Auba/Kun via Son > Grealish for 2 FT after deadline tomorrow? Kind of worried by Son after Saturday - or more by Mou's affect on him

    Hendo
    TAA(c), VVD, Robbo
    KDB, Son, Martial, Maddo

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I think you can save FT as it's not the best week to get Jimenez in.

      Son playing a bit wide too?

    2. PocketZola
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimmy is class, I should have stuck with him from the start. How much money do u have?

      1. PocketZola
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        And wtf triple pool defence!?

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        0.2 ITB at the minute prior to any transfers

        Actually leaving towards just straight up Rash > Jimmy & then Son > Grealish anyway - the talisman effect will likely just keep Grealish ticking all season

    3. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Prefer the Kun/Auba plan as its more explosive

      I thought about it too. Couldn't afford Jimenez myself. Not the best GW to bring him in though as Karan said above

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        A good hedge with triple pool defence too though

        A Jimmy blank kind of makes a CS that bit more likely

      what's the idea behind triple pool def and no mid?

        getting attackers form midt table teams that are expensive?

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

        It's worked quite well the last 3 weeks 🙂

    Wud u do this move, if Vardy blanks against hammers?

    Vardy + Grealish ➡ Auba + Docoure

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not sure about selling Grealish but yes I'll also consider selling Vardy if he blanks again.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nope

    3. Max City
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I sold Grealish a few weeks back, and I regret it..

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        This. Worst decision so far this season for me

      2. Amey

        Ha Ha
        Same. Now i can't bring him back

      Thanks guys

      Who wud u look to downgrade from these 6, if not Grealish?

      Salah mane KDB Son Grealish
      Vardy Ings

            • 12 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            You keeping both Liverpool mids after the double? That's the only other way I could see you managing that move then

            1. Eleven Hag
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah keeping the Liverpool mids until the league is won and they start rotating.

              I wud then take Sons points vs Norwich and switch to Auba - Gunners have looked gud under Arteta and Auba is more involved in their goals now than under Emery

    Any thoughts on this guys?

    1ft and looking at 2 options. Currently ranked 130,000 and looking to try and crack the 100k mark. Current team:

    Henderson
    TAA Robbie Digne aurier
    Salah(c) KDB Marhez
    Ings vardy DCL

    Lund traore Cantwell

    Thinking I could just do marhez to son for free and run with pool double defence or could do Robbo and marhez to mane and cheap defender (4.4) for a hit. Any ideas which option would be best?

    Thank you 🙂

    Sometimes the best move is to do nothing!

    I was going to swap out pope and jimmy to ryan and ings for a hit this week, instead I did nothing and it paid off

    1. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Payed off big time.

      1. PocketZola
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Indeed, 500k to 250k

    2. Amey

      Brilliant

  24. Bavarian

    TC Mane or TAA?

    1. PocketZola
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Mane or salah first choice

    2. Klein
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nobody knows the right answer so go with your gut.

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

      Mane us safer.
      Taa is more fun pick.

      1. Eleven Hag
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Are you saving it for later ?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yes
          Not keen on any of them atm. I might be wrong though 😀
          Going with a coward shield Mane © way .....

          1. Eleven Hag
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            I wud like to wait as well - but in future DGWs, we will be left with players from teams other than city and liverpool as the league is likely to be won by then. Besides, Vardy and Auba are the only two other options for me who are likely to get doubles and we kind of hope they stay in form leading to these doubles.

            These are the reasons making me go this week with Salah 🙂

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              I really don't think Mo or Mane will score more than 15 this GW. But that is also a huge TC score.
              Go with your gut feeling bro. I think I'll save it for Vardy later

          2. Tambling5
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, thinking the same. Seems wrong with both games being away, but worried that once they've won league they might not be nailed later, and no Kane to punt on later in Double Game Week. Also City picks always dodgy in double game-week's due to rotation.Hmm , talking myself out of leaving it?! What scenario do you see for a subsequent Triple Captain choice?

  25. Pomp and Circumstance
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    is Greenwood likely to be a regular starter? and Williams?

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      There will be rotation but would expect those two to get decent amount of mins.

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

      Might not be regular but likely to get more gametime if they dont sign anyone

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I personally think Williams will play more than Shaw either due to form or injury to the later

  26. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Martial or Grealish?

    1. aleksios
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Grealish.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Had the same choice myself. Gone for Tony.

  27. Fantasyamateur
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Pope
    TAA - Soyuncu - Rico
    Salah (TC) - Maddison - Richarlison - Mané
    Maupay - Lewin - Vardy

    Bench: Stekelenburg, Cantwell, Lundstram, Reid.

    1FT and 1.9M ITB.

    What should I do here?
    Pope with a nice last goodbye this GW? Or should I upgrade defence..? Not too sure about having both Rico and Lundstram as both seems to be losing their place any minute.. And if Pope goes, what is the best GK going forward?

    1. aleksios
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Rico to anyone.

  28. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Really difficult to know who to replace Rashford with.
    Team is Ryan; TAA, Robbo, Kelly, (Lundstram, Stephens);
    Mane,KDB, Grealish,Maddison, Traore;
    Vardy, Ings, Rash; 1FT 0.1itb
    More prolific strikers like Jimenez, Abraham have tricks run of fixtures. Can't afford Aguero as would mean big downgrade elsewhere. Greenwood might only play some minutes, DCL struggles against defensive set-ups, Deeney??, Ayew?? even Wilson might be good punt as two home fixtures to come?
    Feels like a good time for an unlikely punt, but don't know who?
    Any suggestions gratefully received?

    1. aleksios
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      DCL or Ayew for me,went DCL.

    2. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      DCL

    3. Pomp and Circumstance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      are people considering Firmino? you already have 3 from Liverpool, but that's one option in a similar range

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        If I hadn't got three Liverpool already Firmino would be a no-brainier, so anyone with Rashford in the team and only 2 Liverpool would presumably do that in a flash.

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

      I like Deulofeu/Deeney but they dont have the best fixtures

    5. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Jimenez.

  29. aleksios

      Similar to my team above. Think it's ok, but like my own, feel there's a missing big haul factor about it. Seeking inspiration!

  30. LewanGOALski

    VVD or Robbo as 3rd LIV?

    1. No Totti No Party
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Same dilemma.

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Hammers vulnerability on the flanks make Robbo better chance of attacking returns perhaps?

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

      Van Dijk if you want goals, Robertson for assists and so called "attacking threat"

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

      Robbo

    4. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Stat wise, Robbo is better but I went for VVD because of budget
