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.

    Why is Siggly hogging Digne's set pieces??

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      he's captained himself in FPL

    2. Neevesy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Because he knew you had Digne.

      Or.... He has a great track record over 7 odd seasons at set pieces.

      But defo the first one.

    He just can’t stop scoring!

    DCLs EO?

  4. IRBOX ⚽

    DCL golden boot this season.. I can’t see why not. Everton have one of the best xG in the league, if only he had pens

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

      I'm thinking of getting richa in after liverpool game to double up with him. U think it's a good idea?

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hasn’t scored yet this season, only 1 from pen. Today Siggy’s on pens. And dcl has scored 6

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

          3 fpl assists though. He's injured now so guess I'll keep Jimmy for a while

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

      Doesn't need them.
      I'm sure if he's in the race, would get pens in last few games too

    3. Manani
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      only 4 games in. Of course if he can keep it up then yeah. Way too early to call when he has history of being a hot and cold (see end of last season)

    New DCL owner 😎
    I like this !

        Very late... it’s been 3 GWs

    2. Chucky

      same,my first goalscorer in 2 GWs 😛

    Oh ffs. Werner to DCL is so obvious that it will inevitably backfire.

    Wanna do it now but IB looms

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

      May as well even with Liverpool up next

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

      I prefer Werner home to Southampton 100%

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Really? We said that about WBA too....

        Price swings will hurt

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

          That’s the main issue but yeah I think I would.

          Liverpool are a tough nut to crack but prices do move quick. If I had Werner I’d hold one more game though but that’s just me

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

      No point now, 0.5 more expensive was easy decision gw1.

      1. Slam
        • 8 Years

        Sunk cost my friend

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years

        Why no point lol

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

      May as well get on the train now and enjoy a double rise in the process.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        And it DCL gets injured over IB?

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

          Risk reward

  9. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Make the most of DCL. One game for England and it will be coached out of him

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

      This!!!. Why are England managers so fickle?? Carroll, Shelvey, Barkley; the list goes on.

        So many options though!

        1. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          True, need to sort my defence.

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. Think I’ll give him 2 and see

  12. KUNingas

    3 years, 5 months ago

    Surely I have to press WC button now..? 2FTs and 1.0 ITB

    McCarthy, Steer
    TAA, Justin, Dallas, Vinagre, Ferguson
    Salah, KDB, Hamez, Podence, Bissouma
    Martial, Werner, Adams

  13. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Werner Hamez Taylor to DCL Son Chilwell (-4)....

    Does tempt, depending on how the weekend / IB go. Leaves 0.5 ITB too

    Looks great now 🙁

  14. Champions League Varane

    After Liverpool he’s in

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why wait? Probably double or triple rise over the international break

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Because CoVID situation we should wait till deadline.

  15. Dacra

    My refusal to get DCL is ridiculous.

    1. Bank$y

      Hear ya

    2. kevchenko

  16. El Magico5
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I was thinking of dcl > kane -4 for next gameweek to get ahead of the fixture swing of both teams. Surely madness?

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      for me dcl is pick and forget

    2. PapaWengzz
      • 4 Years

      Yup madness

  17. dimo_fpl

    I would never have thought that having Calvert-Lewin from GW 1 would be my best ever fpl decision...

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I still don't have DCL. Delete team and wait for next season?

      1. dimo_fpl
        • 6 Years

        Obviously

  18. IRBOX ⚽
    • 7 Years

    Everton xG and xGc are some of the best in the league. Europe beckons next season 100%. Ancelotti has been a revelation. Merseyside derby next GW will be epic

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

      You’re calling Everton top 5?

      1. IRBOX ⚽

    Timo > DCL time. Three weeks too late.
    Werner is gonna drop value faster than a blackberry in an iPhone world.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years

      Do it.

    2. dimo_fpl
      • 6 Years

      Home to Southampton next for Werner... can’t help but think that this is son V2..

  21. Niho992

    Richarlison should be listed as MiD. Another great job by FPL towers

          Be grateful we’ve got the game to play, stop being a neg......

          Even if this game was perfect, people like you would pick holes in it, because that’s what negative people do.
