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.

    2 pens and bloody guaita can't even save a single one. Imagine paying 5.0 for such garbage

      Same.

        Keepers aren't really saving pens this season. Only ever dive the wrong way

    2. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years

      you do know that saving a pen is probably the hardest thing to do for a GK

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

        Just like scoring a goal is the hardest thing for Werner

          touche

      Got chilwell for the next run of games, he's always come good

      1. Good Times

  3. NULL-X-VOID

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lads, I've re-watched the first pen at least 5 times, how can VAR not see a clear dive, no contact at all, I mean cmon, who the hell gives a pen for that

        A "young talent" too

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

      KDB and Mitrovic penalties in GW2 coming to my mind as well, I think they want to keep VAR as little involved as they can after some controversies from last season.

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

    Many Trossard owners? I have been ehre before a few times last season, its like owning Zaha tbh. We wont get anything

    1. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm looking at Grealish closely tbh

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

        I like Grealish, just wasnt bowled over by his next 2 sadly.

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’s part of my wildcard.
      Quite looking forward to seeing him play.

    3. JURGENAUT
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I chose to stick with Zaha over Trossard.
      Zaha blanked.
      Trossard will return.
      That's how it goes aha

  5. NULL-X-VOID

    Is Allan's absence going to affect Eve?

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah he's been great

    2. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Think so he is crucial. Everton looking like a little Milan now

      DCL - inzaghi the poacher
      James--seedorf playmaker
      Richarlison - rui Costa the winger
      Digne - cafu opp end but attacking winger
      Allan - gattuso!

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        needs a bit of Pirlo 😉

      2. Good Times
        • 10 Years

        Slow and steady hehe

      3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    2. MrZ

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years

      Harsh on Ighalo

  8. Magic Zico

          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Makes me feel a little better about swapping him for DCL on WC due to his ankle

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

      Doesn't matter. He has considerable threat from open play

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years

      ?

    4. Gobigorgohome

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

      Thats my move, can't believe I've held him this long.

  13. have you seen cyan

    Watching Richarlison get a hattrick is going to hurt

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years

    Werner ➡ Kane(c)

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years

      London Derbies are always tricky

    2. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Thats my plan

  17. 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

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

      For werner owners 🙂

      Stephens does get one return a season.

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

      Stephens will probably get you more points than Werner too.

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    James looks like he could drop back to 5m shortly and I've only got 1.9m ITB

    rest of defence is VVD,lamptey,semado,mitchell

    James to Robbo look solid ?

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No brainer.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      nah, play VVD,lamptey,semado and get Taylor

    3. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I would. Robbo will be up there at the top of the defender points ladder come season's end. Worth the cash imo

  21. Gandalf

    No Everton or Brighton for me.. Behind sofa time

    Only positive is he has got some speed.
    Now get fast out of my team.

  23. Zimo

  24. NABIL - FPL otai

    Got DCL and Ryan in this match.

    Not sure what to expect

  25. Begbie.
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    5.5 to replace James.

    Anyone think Reguilon is worth a punt?

    Don't want to chase Chilwell's points.

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

      If Spurs use 3-5-2 again tomorrow, then Reguilon is the ideal replacement.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      inefective

    3. ivantys

  27. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    4 goals and only 1 assist for Havertz. How did Havertz look today? Still worth keeping for now?

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

      Better than werner.

      1. Alex_thekid

        Understatement of the season lol

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

      Him and Werner were not good. Score line flatters Chelsea.

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm still gonna keep him for now, people here will forever say he blanked no matter how many assists he got.

  28. Gobigorgohome

    Come on Lampety

    To all you Boseli owners back in the day.

    I mocked you.

    Please accept my deepest and most sincere apologies.

    Karma got me in the end. It’s name was Werner.
