Quiet Calvert-Lewin continues ruthless streak as Rodríguez blanks again

Crystal Palace 1-2 Everton

  • Goals: Cheikhou Kouyaté (£5.0m) | Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.3m), Richarlison (£8.0m)
  • Assists: Andros Townsend (£6.0m) | Seamus Coleman (£5.0m), Lucas Digne (£6.1m)
  • Bonus points: Richarlison x3, Kouyaté x2, Digne x1

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.3m) went some way to strengthening his Fantasy Premier League appeal as he scored his fifth goal of the season in a 2-1 win at Crystal Palace.

The mid-priced forward was the talk of the town after netting four goals in his first two matches of the season, going into Gameweek 3 backed by 27% of Fantasy managers.

Face-to-face with a defence that had made a positive start to the season, keeping out Southampton and mostly limiting Manchester United, there were some mild fears that Calvert-Lewin’s incredible run might stutter at Selhurst Park – but it did not.

In fact, the player demonstrated something his Fantasy owners will be delighted with: the ability to have a relatively quiet game and yet deliver all the same.

“The performance was difficult. We had difficulties. The first half was quite good, we were able to play as we wanted. The second half was more difficult because Crystal Palace played a good second half putting a lot of pressure on us.” – Carlo Ancelotti

Having lit up his first two outings of the campaign, Calvert-Lewin was largely crowded out by Crystal Palace’s organised defence on Saturday afternoon. Rather than finding himself put through time, and time again, as was the case in Gameweek 2, Everton’s star striker was mostly restricted to half-chances and awkward snatches of the ball from free-kicks and corners.

However, on the rare occasion that he found some space behind Palace’s back-four, he did what all the best forwards do: he found the net.

Seamus Coleman (£5.0m) pounced on a rare lapse of concentration from Tyrick Mitchell (£4.1m) to get around the back in the 10th minute. He cut the ball back for an unmarked Calvert-Lewin who, despite barely getting a mention beforehand, slotted home coolly.

Calvert-Lewin’s increasingly ruthless nature bodes exceptionally well for upcoming fixtures against more favourable defences than what Palace offered on Saturday. Everton face Brighton, Southampton and Newcastle in three of their next four fixtures, each of those sides conceding three goals or more four times so far this season.

Meanwhile, Richarlison (£8.0m) continues to remind Fantasy managers that he is quietly waiting in the background as a viable alternative option in attack.

Not only was he lively as a left-winger in the 4-3-3 system once again, but there is also a chance that the Brazilian is now Ancelotti’s preferred penalty taker.

It was Richarlison who was handed the responsibility for the Toffees’ first-half spot-kick, even though he was sharing the pitch with top goal-scorer Calvert-Lewin and James Rodríguez (£7.6m).

For now, it is difficult to say that the former Watford man is the favoured taker for the whole club, considering that Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.9m). Obviously, the Icelandic international has lost his place in the team this season, so Richarlison’s chances are good, but we need to see Everton win a penalty when those two players share the pitch before we can categorically install the Brazilian as number one.

By comparison with Calvert-Lewin, James Rodríguez (£7.6m) was arguably the best player on the Selhurst Park pitch on Saturday and yet came away with no Fantasy rewards.

For all his skill, shine, vision and backing of 25.2% of Fantasy managers, the Colombian has now blanked in two from a possible three Premier League outings.

In fact, against Palace, Rodríguez enjoyed an afternoon of ‘assisting the assister’. It was his exquisite through-pass which found Coleman’s penetrative run before the right-back squared for Calvert-Lewin’s goal.

And in the 40th minute, it was Rodríguez’s excellent ball on the counter-attack which put Lucas Digne (£6.1m) through to force a hand-ball and penalty out of Joel Ward (£4.5m).

There were still a number of other opportunities for Rodríguez to get attacking returns, but they did not pan out for his ever-increasing ownership.

In the 29th minute, he played an incredible through-ball to Richarlison on the counter, setting the Brazilian through the middle. However, the forward’s poor first-touch, taken with his right foot when the left would have kept him more central, saw Richarlison drag possession out wide.

Then, shortly after half time, Rodriguez was fouled on the edge of the box and denied Digne’s request to take the direct free-kick. While the Frenchman rattled the crossbar with a fizzing effort in Gameweek 2, Rodríguez produced a tame effort aimed straight at Vincente Guaita (£5.0m).

Rodríguez also aimed a well-placed corner straight at Calvert-Lewin in the 51st minute, only to see the centre-forward screw horribly wide.

For all of Everton’s decent attacking play this season, there do remain some issues defensively. They have kept just one clean sheet in their first three matches of the campaign, despite facing newly-promoted opposition and a side that scored the fewest home goals last season.

With Brighton, Liverpool and Southampton the next three opponents for Everton, Digne owners may have to rely on his attacking returns in the coming weeks.

His assist at Palace came from forcing a handball from Ward, although he continues to do battle with Rodríguez for a say in set pieces.

After a lightning start to the season, Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) recorded his first blank. While he continues to be deployed out-of-position as a centre-forward alongside Jordan Ayew (£5.9m), the FPL midfielder spent the last 15 minutes shifted back to the flanks after Michy Batshuayi (£ replaced Eberechi Eze (£6.0m).

However, that does not mean Zaha should leave the Fantasy radar, far from it. Gameweek 4 takes Palace to Stamford Bridge, to face a Chelsea defence that conceded three times to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon.

The fact that Zaha has three goals in as many outings this season, and only Manchester City have registered more away wins against the big six than Palace since May 2015 bodes well for next weekend.

Also worth considering is Andros Townsend (£6.0m) as he registered a third attacking return of the season in Gameweek 3. Having assisted against Southampton, scored past Manchester United and now assisting on Saturday afternoon, the former Spurs man has yet to blank in 2020/21 and was comfortably Palace’s best player in their most recent match.

Crystal Palace XI (4-4-2): Guaita; Mitchell, Sakho, Kouyaté, J Ward; Eze (Batshuayi 75′), McArthur (Riedewald 88′), McCarthy, Townsend; Zaha, Ayew (Benteke 82′).

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Digne, Keane, Mina, Coleman; Gomes (Sigurdsson 76′), Allan, Doucouré; Richarlison (T Davies 90′), Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez (Iwobi 86′).

    Captain fail and a price drop. Not ideal Werner, not ideal...

      yeah and salah, sterling, son kdb will all haul probably, rank drop deluxe

        Think just owning kdb and salah will see improvements in rank if they score. Son needs to be quiet though!

      Here we go

        Where you going?

  2. drughi
    • 14 Years

    Seen the highlights from yesterdays games and as a werner, rodrigues and taylor owner I feel very unlucky.

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner wasn't unlucky. Taylor had one effort on goal. Hamez unlucky not to get returns yes.

      1. abhirup780
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Taylor floated plenty of crosses. Good 4.5 pick imo.

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I think he is a good pick too and I have him, just saying that it is a big stretch to say he was unlucky not to get get returns last night. He had no successful crosses and created no chances. One good shot effort doesn't mean he was unlucky.

  3. Jdpz

    How many people captained Werner?

  6. Lukakus Unit

    Swap Werner & Bruno for DCL & Mane for a -4?

    Mane always does better on the road and he could haul in Liverpool's next two fixtures.

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno just hauled and Werner has Palace home next, and your shipping them for -4? That will bite you

  7. Legohair
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner&Mitro&Gwood to Jimenez&DCL&Podence stupid move for - 8?

    1. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wait to see if Podence is indeed injured

      1. Legohair
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, if he is fit then i will go for it

      2. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I've heard a couple of people mention that, any idea what the source is?

        I have him, massive 4 points from Lamptey coming in worse case.

  8. Shultan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Damn didn't expect werner to drop
    Should've done my werner & Mountino to ings & foden..priced out now due to Forden price rise

    Patience isn't always a virtue

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ouch, they'd have been lovely moves.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Spurs attackers needed vs Lindelof.
      Why on earth didn't ole start bailly over him? Also what's wrong with AWB positioning!

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm not sure Bailly is completely fit.

        And I dunno, I'm trying not to think about how bad they are or I'll get in a bad mood. They were horrendous once again... conern.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yep i really don't know what's needed, new signings or a new coach but what i know i will get rid of bruno unfortunately who is imo the best player you have atm

    2. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice got the same KDB Sterling double up.

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice. I will raise you.

      + kdb + son + Havertz + Semedo + foden
      -2*sterling - taa - lamprey - podence

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nice.

        Semedo is an interesting punt. A Barca fan came on here saying how he was weak and a disaster, which put me off him.

        I'm still torn on Foden... and Spurs in general...

        1. Dr. Rog
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          My gut was telling me to go with Boly so he will score for sure later

        2. Messiah
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Semedo is terrible going forward, he never fit here, much better defensively than he is going forward. He is absolutely rapid though so inevitably gets in behind now and again but is so wasteful.

          Had the run of the right flank with Messi always moving central and still couldn’t take advantage.

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            That explains why he has so few goals and assists...

            1. Messiah
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah his attacking returns are terrible even compared to Roberto (who is a donkey) and he’s much quicker, gets in behind much more often etc just hasn’t got a clue what to do next. Maybe that increases a little with Jimenez to aim at but I’d be surprised.

              Not an asset in FPL for me at all, poor mans AWB.

    4. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years

      Sterling (C) !!

  10. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do Bruno & TAA to Sterling (c) & VVD? Or just Kdb(c) next week?

  11. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sell Werner for Ings or save FT?

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would go ahead with that move, that extra money can be usefull

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just wondering if 352 might be better but looks unlikely with so many strikers hogging penalties.

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sell but not today. Ings or Jimmy

      1. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah will wait till next Werner price drop atleast. Already have Jimmy & DCL.

      2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Is Jimmy on pens?

        1. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yes

    3. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm debating it - juicy fixture for Ings might tip the balance

    Had a pretty good day with 41pts yesterday, on a WC but most points came from my original team (Bruno, DCL, Havertz), took a risk containing Bruno but worked out, only player to blank was Wood of the 5 I had playing. Always wary of a good first day, I have a habit of not doing great after so we'll see how this goes. Contemplating taking Havertz out if Pulisic is back next week but probably pointless as if Lampard has any sense he'll take his time bringing him back, even if they desperately need him.

    I've no Wolves defence and 0.5 itb

    A) Taylor to Boly
    B) Save and have 2 FT for international break

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      why would you sell Taylor ?

      1. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Well Burnley conceding goals without their center half's is a factor, plus Wolves fixtures

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          i think if you have a nailed 4.5 mill Burnley defender you stick with him and use transfers elsewhere. He is great to have on your bench if you have 3 better defenders or defenders with better fixtures

          Why not use the extra money to upgrade your worst defender to rotate with Taylor ?

          1. Stimps
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I see your point. Others are TAA, Digne, Lamptey, Mitchell. But decided now I'll save and monitor Semedo

      So many more price drops than price rices this year

      Guess many have A team value close to 99 mill already?

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Think I'd be on 99.3 if it wasn't for DCL propping it up. Even so, never started a season losing value. Guess that's what it's like being ranked in the 3 millions.

    Taa robbo Justin Mitchell Shaw

    Any good suggestions?

    Bruno is essential with Varcherster, penalties, diving etc etc etc.

        I am actually getting him back. You do not need him to play well to bank on points. That is a fact!

    Stephens going down is really nice. Offers up some nice 5th mid value.

    I might need it soon. Havertz has one more week before I decide if I want to move on from Chelsea.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lampard is out of his depth. Werner probably just trying to show him on the pitch that he is absolutely useless the way he is being deployed. 'Following instructions'.

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same goes for Havertz.

        Yeah it's not looking good. But they demolished Barnsley in the cup. The attacking potential is there. Let's see what happens next game. I can see Havertz double digit haul soon.

        1. FOO FIGHTER

          Barnsley...

      A DAY TOO LATE

      I was hoping he'd drop before the deadline so I could pick him up on the WC. I think that 0.1m is going to be important when Pulisic is fit...

    I thought I was doing bad Werner (c) 30pts -4 with 6 to go

    Seems ok around here

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Great. I got 25 total (Werner captain) which shot me up but that’s because I only have 3 players left, and one of them is Ayling!...on for another bad week unless Sterling actually runs riot for a change

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's hard to really judge how well you're doing til the end of the week. 4pts could be a haul for a player in a low-scoring week. It's all relative!

      I'm hoping City, Liverpool and Wolves go nuts...

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m ok with my 12 from 3. Scale that up it’s 48 for the week. I always want 55 but that’s not terrible.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      That's defintely true.. But sometimes i want to captain the player who i will transfer in on Fridays.
      Even when i do that, the player who has the armband all week outscores that player. Lol

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years

      The best post I saw today was someone claiming the Werner captaincy was a coin toss. And the reply came back - agreed, heads Salah, tails kdb, Werner landing the edge!!

    Why are there so many price changes Saturday night/Sunday morning these days?

    1. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My sense is because of the short pre-season, and all the business still being done that there are many more WC's happening in these early GW's this year. May need to find some stats to either prove/disprove this hypothesis...

      1. faux_C
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        WC's don't affect price changes though, right?

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just seems absolutely mental

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Because most people make their transfer immediately after the deadline when the get their new Free Transfer

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years

        Madness

      I blame drink, I really do.

      1. Big boy Bowen

        That could be an explanation!

  26. diesel001

    A big issue with the Chelsea team is, with Azpi missing, there is no leader on the pitch. Who, in that starting team yesterday, would be the player or players that have the broad shoulders to take whatever comes and deal with it and get them over the line?

    You might say Silva, but he made a howler and was sheepish for the rest of the game. In the past Chelsea have had at least one strong leader in their team, whether it was Terry, Lampard, Ballack, Drogba etc.

    Compared to Liverpool (VVD, Henderson), Man Utd (Maguire, Fernandes), Man City (Laporte, KDB) etc., Chelsea look relatively leaderless.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why Chelsea signed a CB which does not have the legs anymore and then expect him to do well in the PL is laugable to say the least. Frank has absolutely no defensive know how either.

      He has a wealth of attacking players at his disposal now but does not have footballing brain of how to deploy them or even to get the best out of them.

    Madness to ignore DCL at this point right? Missed the rise last night though.

    1. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably go for Richarlison at this point

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Dcl has scored 5 goals from open play so far this year, Richarlison 1 on pen.

        1. faux_C
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah - if he carries on at that rate he'll score 63 goals.

          Seems more likely he'll regress to the mean and Richarlison will improve tbh.

          1. RamaJama
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            At least at this stage, 1 pen is not enough to convince me that Richarlison is A better pick and better value for money than DCL and Rodriguez.

            1. RamaJama
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Richa 8.0. So many good forward options at the moment for 6-6.5 and for 7.4 you can get dcl, if you add 0.4 or 0.5 you can get Ings and Jimmy

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years

      Definition of insanity, yes.

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Without pens you would be right to ignore jrod for sure.

      Both dcl and rich look like great value

  28. faux_C

    It's screaming "sunk cost fallacy" at me, but I think I might keep Werner.

    Tv building up nicely not a single price drop so far. With so many big hitters this season will cone in very handy 2nd half of the season

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      4 million OR, WC played, but least I have a few 0.1m more 😎

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      Tv massively overrated.. so many options this season

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        TV so important last half of the season when playing the hits, you’ll be able to choose A much stronger dgw team etc
