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.

    Any Chilwell owners? Seems like there are quite a few. Well done

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1.8pc owned so i expect a few liars

    2. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I wanted to own him. Does that count?

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

        I actually tok at hit for him with Davies out of my team. Pretty happy

        Yep. You get 5 imaginary bonus points.

    3. shaunyjames
      • 11 Years

      The guy at the top of my ML....running away with it!

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

      I thought about it pre season, so claiming it

  2. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner & Reece to Brewster & Robbo for free + 3.4m itb to spend elsewhere are probably the easiest transfers I'll make all season.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      spend lil bit extra for Wood

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

      I'm considering this or maybe Werner to Maupay.

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

      I might do that but get TAA instead

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd be vary of Brewster.
      Robbo is a no brainer yeah

  3. BigBillyBass
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which poor sap fell into the Werner trap?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      almost 50%

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cost me a hit this week to get out of it

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      One of the best decisions I made on Wildcard to ditch him...

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Same here. I think it will drive ppl into WC this week too

    4. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me.

      Getting out now. Seen enough to know that I’ve seen enough,

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

      Took him out on wildcard and Ward, so you could say I’ve had a good one already...

    6. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me, he's got 34 gameweeks left to prove himself too. Should have stuck with a premium + faith in a Brewster transfer

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

      I dont doubt he is a quality player but I'm not paying £9.5m for a winger

    8. Alex_thekid
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me + the Kai 1 double missery and James for a hit last gw 1+0. Only saving grace finally bit the bullet for this gw Werner to Dcl ft, new if i kept him id be saying 1 more gw every freaking week lol

  4. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Richa is such an angry Brazilian won't let that knock stop him

  5. noone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Timo, KWP, Burke---> Pulisic, Chilwell, Brewster for (-4)? before the price rise?

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds good on paper

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

      Early transfers before all games played and before an IB with injuries and Covid risk does not seem the best idea, TBH.

      1. riot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, terrible plan

      2. noone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I agree but too tempted

    3. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      don't invest a lot on Chelsea atm

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

      Not when an ib can result in injuries

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

    Just so you all know before the game, I brought DCL in so he won't get anything

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My Mrs has brought him in and captained him

  7. Amey
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Perfect result from first game.

    Price drops for Werner, Pulisic & Ziyech galore now !

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Fplstatistics says Pulisic is price locked until 10th October

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

        Arghh

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

    Werner will score next weekend, owners have to keep the faith.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He won’t

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Good for him if he does and good for those who still would own him after the last 4 weeks worth of disappointment.

        Frankly, he could score a hattrick next game week and I’d still not get him back. Think he’s burned current owners so badly we’ll never ever trust him again,

    2. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Haha. Assume you are a non owner?

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yup.
      Patience is the key

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

        Indeed. Turkey aren’t too tight at the back.

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

          A lot of space in behind to run too

    4. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      double down I reckon, keep for next week and captain, bound to be amongst the assists.

    5. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Copy / paste every week until GW38

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

        Only when IB are up next

    6. NULL-X-VOID
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      *Week 37*

      Werner will score next week for sure

  9. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    James to robbo looking a no brainer with 1.9 ITB

  10. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    There's nothing I hate more than benching points.

    I have 13 points from Zouma chilling on my bench in FanTeam. All the guys in my team are super nailed on as well. Hate it.

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

      I've never had bench points if it makes you feel better, like you I always go for nailed on players.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I hate benching headaches too. Why I usually go with one playing sub, 2 at most if there's a playing 4.0 defender or 4.5 striker.

  11. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I reckon if I'd sold Werner he would have scored..

    Rolled the transfer so I've gained 4 points thought right?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That’s the spirit.

  12. Del Griffith
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werncheko strikes again! Nothing in a 4 nil games is rather impressive!

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He plumbs new depths of disappointment every weekend.

      Last tinker of my GW1 team was Jimi out for ‘essential’ Werner, Mitrovic to Rodrigo and Soucek to Norwood.

      Three worser moves you could not make if you tried.

      1. Del Griffith
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just got to laugh really otherwise will go mad!

  13. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Fixtures for next GW looks really difficult. Cue best score of the season.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      looks easier than this week 😀

  14. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner (C) next week for me I think... has to come good surely

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

      Werner* Blinders.

    2. JonSnow
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't overthink it

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That's the spirit

      Triple(C)

      1. AA
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes. It's due.

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

      Doubling the misery

    5. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should start getting extra goal point for being a mid

    6. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good strategy to keep © till he scores

  15. JonSnow
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Really dont want to burn the WC just yet but with Mitro, werner, vinagre, james and douglas fodder not playing i don't think i have a choice.

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What’s wrong with Mitro?

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Fulham I guess. Could be worse though

      2. JonSnow
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah poor team and would prefer jim/ings/dcl and maybe brewster to bolster midfield

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Thats what its for

  16. ceerus
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wilson to 6.8max
    A) Maupay
    B) Mitro
    C) Foden(-4)
    D)??

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maupay

  17. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I thought they weren't supposed to be awarding nothing penalties this week?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That was about handballs

      • Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The officials need to be thrown into jail

      This game looks like being a banger

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

        Yup

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

      I’ve written a detailed strategy guide for this season - in 5 simple steps

      1. Pick players with terrible stats and no decent chance of points
      2. Ignore premium players who have a proven track record in FPL
      3. Watch your players score goal after goal from 0.01 xG
      4. ?????
      5. Profit

    5. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's bloody annoying having these games with different broadcasters

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Better than not having them at all which is usually the case in the UK

        1. Hybrid.power
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          True, but it all adds up if you're paying for multiple services

      2. Neevesy
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yup, my sky bill is horrible at the Mo. Still get to watch the footy on a Saturday.

      Seasons during a pandemic don't count...am I right?

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

        Only count for 9,999.

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

        It’s only a game. Game. Game. G A M E.

    7. FPLGeezer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Had planned to save FT for over IB and keep Son and Werner. A few drinks last night and before the deadline ended up bringing Barnes and Ings in for a hit.

      Only hoping Son actually doesnr play now

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

        As a Werner owner, I think you made the right call!

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

          Yep was worried during the game hed burn me for it but the worry about inevitable price falls is over now.

      2. Dire Souffle
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Same but for Jimi and Barnes, so also hoping Son doesn’t play

    8. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      weekend starts now 🙂

    9. msb2299
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hi guys , why has Wilson gone down to 6.4 after scoring twice in 3 games?

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Because Newcastle have had 2 non penalty shots in 3 games

        People are in love with DCL, Jimenez @ Ings

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

        Too many people jumped ship after his first blank for other good options. At 6.4 he could still turn out to be an excellent choice. Fraser still to reach fitness and asm

        1. msb2299
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ok thank you I might hold onto him although I need to get DCL in also!

    10. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Guaita and Zaha wasn't one of my best WC decisions.. Jesus. Last week Wolves this week CPL, my defenders seem to be scoring 0 every week.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Guaita is for GW5 onwards

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah
          Set and forget..

    11. Alex_thekid
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Glad i finally got rid of Werner for Dcl felt good last gw i new if i kept him id be saying ill give him 1 more gw and it would carry on week after week and lose lot of value while dcl kept rising in price

      1. Maarrrr17
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Man post this again.

    12. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saved my FT this week to have 2 for the international break. Want to hold off but Werner's price drops could be massive.

      Going to hold off as long as I can...

      Might see how Maupay goes today. He has decent fixtures to come and won't play during the break.

      Then to decide between upgrading James in defence or Foden in midfield.

      2FT 0.1ITB
      Martinez Steer
      TAA James Saiss Justin Mitchell
      Salah KdB Foden Podence Reed
      Jimi Werner DCL

      Thoughts?

      Cheers

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Get rid of that useless donkey Werner

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

          Yep, that's my priority.

          Current two top choices
          1) Maupay and start fairly regularly - and upgrade Foden to Rashford or James to Robbo
          2) Brewster, bench indefinitely / until he starts playing - and upgrade more elsewhere

          We'll see!

    13. Lev Yashin
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      More like Timo Bendtner.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Bendtner actially scored

    14. jay01
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner will play up front with Ziyech and Pulisic returning. He will come good.

      I promise you all he will brace vs southampton

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He is useless

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

        Not that simple with havertz in team. Werner isn't a front-man. Lampard has a permant headache to work out
