Richarlison shakes off ankle injury to start for Everton

Richarlison (£8.0m) has overcome the ankle injury sustained midweek to start for Everton in Gameweek 4.

The Brazilian was one of many players discussed by Carlo Ancelotti in his Friday press conference, and it would appear that he has passed the fitness test.

That means Richarlison is free to make a fourth successive start in Everton’s front three, joined there by Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.5m), now owned by 41.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers, and James Rodríguez (£7.7m).

The Colombian, now sat in 30.3% of teams, has blanked in two of his first three league matches for the Toffees, but his last Goodison Park outing produced a 12-point haul.

However, Everton’s midfield trio is somewhat patched up today with Allan (£5.5m) and André Gomes (£5.5m) both missing out to a groin injury and a knock respectively.

They are replaced by Tom Davies (£5.4m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.9m) while Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.5m) makes his fourth successive Premier League start of the campaign.

Brighton arrive on Merseyside on the back of some positive displays, so Graham Potter has tempered his tinkering once again, making just one change to the side that lost to Manchester United.

Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) is back in midfield, while Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) and Neal Maupay (£6.5m) start in support of Aaron Connolly (£5.5m).

Meanwhile, popular full-back Tariq Lamptey (£4.6m), owned by 10%, retains his berth on the right-hand side of a midfield four.

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Sigurdsson, T Davies, Doucouré; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-4-2-1): Ryan; Webster, Dunk, White; March, Alzate, Bissouma, Lamptey; Maupay, Trossard; Connolly.

          You do know it's advice..... You're a grown-up, choose to take it or not.

          Ings Vardy Jiminez Kane and DCL, given his form. 3 of these. Set and forget.

          This site was 99% either get rid of Werner or maybe don’t waste a transfer to get rid of him...nobody said Get Werner

      5. fr3d

        26.1% inactive teams already?

      6. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Aubameyang didn’t need time to settle to the PL. Werner will come good but he looks like an absolute feather. Imagine him in games like Burnley away.

      7. Jafooli

        Jorginho 15pt’er 😎

        Get peno takers asap....

        1. TomSaints

          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          5.1 as well. Great 4th or 5th mid and Chelsea look like they’ll get a lot of penalties

          1. Hey_Arnold
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I did. He then missed a penalty then didnt play. So I took him out. And he scores 2. This game isnt enjoyable any more

        2. Pipermaru
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I remember couple days ago somebody was slated on here for having "this useless" Jorginho in his squad, hope he didn't sell him.

        3. AC Yew
          • 5 Years

          Crap took -4 to get rid 10 mins before deadline

      8. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Dunne is out of the Burnley team.

        Dunne to Chilwell a no brainer then?

      9. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Is jorginho even assured a starting place? I'd like to get him as first sub over soucek

        1. Seanigula
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No, but Kanté being injured helps

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Did he get injured today?

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Most weeks will be two from Kante, Jorginho and Kovacic

      10. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        No need to panic. Still a decent chance Werner could reach 100 points this season.

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Same as Jorginho

        Price prediction for Werner for GW5?

        1. LSK
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          9.1

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

          Cheaper than Pulisic

        3. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Can't wait for Werner to bang four goals against Southampton next week after everyone sold him.

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeh he will as well. If he doesn’t in that game though then he’s out and shall never return. Hes been really poor.

        2. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Do you genuinely see a player capable of getting 4 goals in a friggin season, let alone a single game, from what you’ve watched so far?

        3. Seanigula
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I think I’ve heard that for last 3 weeks

        4. BKR
          • 14 Years

          and another ten-week drought!! Do you really think, he has a good work rate and influential?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years

        At least that James no show means we can now cash in on the lamptey points off the bench

        1. D-Fens
          • 3 Years

        Werner gota go swap my everton/chelsea combo for -4

        Werner/j.rod to dcl/pulisic/1.2

        Pain...

        I’ve said that 2 GW in a row. Sick of it now

        1. fr3d

          You've said it for 3 years mate

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            What?

            This was a reply fail to someone anyway, about Werner. So no, I haven’t

      19. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Timo to be 8.9 before deadline in 2 weeks?

        1. The Son-dance Kid
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          The max a player can rise or fall in a single gw is capped at .3 if I'm not mistaken

      20. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I think il give Werner the South game. Probably will play striker after Pulisic and Ziyech come back.

        2. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          We would be mad to ditch Werner before Saints, there could be an assist or two in it for him. I say one last captain! Whos with me

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Also West Brom away, think of all that space in behind. Werner hatty triple captain.

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              true that, the smart kids will hold Werner

        3. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I guess the only people who kept Werner were the ones who didn't watch him play vs West Brom. Looked all over the place last time and the same again.

          1. MrZ
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Still didn't click with his teammates i guess. Probably better when ziyech play

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

            I think Pulisic or Havertz will be good picks. Hopefully we'll have Pulisic at 8m in no time 🙂

          3. Christina.
            • 14 Years

            He looks like Messi. All over the place. Just not half as good.

          4. AA
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            And then there's a bit of pedantic analysis. Fixtures. Patience. Etc.

            I avoid watching Chelsea play if I can.

        4. BKR
          • 14 Years

          Should we sell or hold Timo? Hope now all have a very clear picture? 🙂

          1. Pavsboot
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Fair amount of penalty taking options up forward. Think he needs the flick.

            Maybe Talksport - last few times I’ve tuned in to 5 Live (or 5 alive Sports Extra) for a midday kick off on a Saturday they haven’t had the live commentary

            1. Hey_Arnold
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Usually commentary option on flashscores now.

            Should be on BBC Radio Merseyside if you can get it on DAB. Can’t listen from the online player though.
