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.

    DCL is like the complete opposite of Werner.

      Hahaha too right

  3. Hotdogs for Tea

    Surely no serious FPL manager is going without DCL ?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      Was contemplating a hit to get him in for Wilson all week and didn't go for it..

    2. Evasivo

      Surely no serious manager still has Werner 😀

      In my case, going for Robbo instead was a pretty serious move.

      1. Forza

        3 years, 5 months ago

        Also Jimenez, who's never blanked 4 times in a row vs DCL who blanked 9 times in a row at the end of last season. Some serious stats were there too.

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

          serious players have Jimenez ‘and’ DCL 😉

      2. Hotdogs for Tea

        Robbo for DCL? how does that work ?

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

          I did Davies to Robbo instead of Wilson/Mitrovic to DCL.

      Some of the "serious managers" who still don't have DCL:
      Az
      Luke Williams
      Fabio Borges
      David Munday
      Skonto Rigga
      Sam Bonfield
      Joshua Bull

    O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
    The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
    The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
    While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
    But O heart! heart! heart!
    O the bleeding drops of red,
    Where on the deck my Captain lies,
    Fallen cold and dead.

    O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
    Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills,
    For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding,
    For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning;
    Here Captain! dear father!
    This arm beneath your head!
    It is some dream that on the deck,
    You’ve fallen cold and dead.

    My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still,
    My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will,
    The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done,
    From fearful trip the victor ship comes in with object won;
    Exult O shores, and ring O bells!
    But I with mournful tread,
    Walk the deck my Captain lies,
    Fallen cold and dead.

    Worried I'd screwed up by taking a hit to go Rich>DCL. So far so good

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Think both after Liverpool will be bargain.

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

      Wild move for the hit, but I guess because of the flag? Hope it does pay off for you

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Even better. Sorry Rich
