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.

    Might regret starting Lamptey over Taylor at this rate... mainly done for chance of GI

    At least I put in a bet on james assist.

    Digne owners on WC should have though moving him to Mina?

      Be ahead of the curve and get on the Godfrey bandwagon 😎

      I’m thinking TAA / Castagne / wolves defence / lamperty then its Everton or spurs defence for 5th spot

    What happened with Richarlison? Almost got him on my WC

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ankle not healed apprently. Tackled by Lamptey in the first half.

    2. Neevesy
      • 7 Years

      Ankle again I think

    3. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      injured and was subbed off around 25min mark

  7. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

    Chances of James getting 3 bps if it finishes like this? (Assuming he keeps creating chances like crazy)

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Possible

  8. Pukki Blinders

    Who's this clown celebrating to like that

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Werner did

  9. ace3.1415

    Castagne or Chilwell?

    1. iL PiStOlErO

      Castagne

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

      Castagne

    The whole vibe in this Everton team seems very healthy. Really loving watching them play.

    Also Hames and DCL owner!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      Hope they win the title ahead of Liverpool

      1. The Legend Squad
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Could be worth a little bet...

        Even that dance they did to celebrate. Cringe, yes, but a sign of a team really vibing.

      Was just thinking the same, good team spirit.

      Given they dont have their own fans booing them week in weeek out anymore they must feel amazing

      1. IRBOX ⚽

        Another gunk poo post from you

          I'm allowed an opinion buddy

            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Of course, yet you take joy from slating others opinions. The irony is real

              • 6 Years

              but... he wasn't slating anybody's opinion?

              he was commenting on everton fans regularly heckling their own team.

    Good game of football.
    Soft goals but enjoyable !

  12. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Seriously considering Digne to Robertson. Love Digne's attacking threat but with that idiot Pickford between the sticks, Robertson for 1m extra seems a no brained.

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

      Digne doesn't take set pieces anymore. Take him out

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

      With better center backs, Evrton would have much more clean sheets. Mina is awful. Him scoring doesn't erase all the goals resulting from his mistakes

    A)
    Mendy
    TAA / Van Dijk / Castagne / Chilwell

    I have never saw such an improvement in a striker such as DCL this year.

    Carlo is genius trusting in him.

    He really is Inzaghi

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It's incredible... When will Hindu Monkey go for him too?

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

    Hamez is like KDB from 2 years ago from an fpl perspective. He'll get around 190 points by the end. Could have been more if he was on pens.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No he won't. Goals are worth 5 and assists e

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        *3

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

        He'll have a lot of assists though. Let's say 180-190.

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

          That's a lot of assist, I doubt he will get that many

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Gee that's optimistic

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

        I don't have him. I'm just saying what i think will happen

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

      Kdb probably isn't the right comparison. Let's say prime Ozil when he got 200 points.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He scores 1 in 3, which is double the rate of Zaha.

  16. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    Is my Trossard assist staying? ~~:)

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think it shouldn't

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Well yeah?

    3. The Truth Is...
        3 years, 5 months ago

        doubt it

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

        it was from a mistake by the keeper, not a saved shot ... expect it to be removed

    4. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Werner+Dier to Robbo+DCL for free?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Werner apparently is due. And has Southampton 😉

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        DCL has Pool next. Werner has high line Soton...

        1. Tokyo Locomotive
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I assume you're trolling trying to encourage Werner

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

        Robbo+DCL 100% better duo

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

      Maupay is only 5 points behind DCL and nobody s talking about him. Also, great fixtures inc

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

        I have both 🙂

      Who is your bus captain for GW5?

      1. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Jimenez

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years

          Have it on Jimmy

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years

        KDB ATM but I'll try to bring in Son/Kane and cap

      3. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Salah

      4. F4L
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Son if fit

      5. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        KDB

    7. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      The Merseyside derby this season might arguably be the most exciting fixture of the entire season..

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Depends if Pool can score early. Ancelotti would take a 0-0 like they got last season.

    8. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone knows how double GWs are organized in FanTeam?

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same as FPL I think.

    9. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Said it a month ago... This is the first of many James' assists to Mina

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

        Hope so! Can’t decide if I wanna keep him though - he’s my easiest route to Son

    10. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Can't get in DCL ahead of Pool.... He will rise to 8 before he's in my team 🙁

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

        Kinda similar thinking, seems wrong lol,

        We’ll see how SOU and LIV are respectively in defence this week

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not the worst idea to go for richarlison then, even after today

      3. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Form over fixtures

      4. Kabayan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        7.8 max before Pool

    11. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Trossard was crossing, why does that assist stand?

      1. Pukki Party
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Interesting, intended target i guess. Pickford did get a touch between though

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I just don't see how Maupay was his intended target. Pickford massively changed the direction of the ball. FPL not being consistent again.

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Totally agree with you.

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

            Unfortunately doesn’t have to be intended target. A keeper who saves a shot from an intended scorer which is then slotted by the follow up.. the assist will always be awarded to the original shooter

            1. F4L
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Yeah I agree with that, but I thought Trossard was trying to cross. I guess it's been counted as a shot.

            2. Pukki Party
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Not sure it was on target though

    12. PartyPooper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Got Reece James on WC, because I thought he was nailed. So that was a good start to the GW 🙁
      Any reason why he didnt start? is he now a rotation risk?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Didn't play midweek either, winning team etc.

      2. Ruinenlust
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Azpi is better than him

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

        Chillwell back + Azpi startin. Seems like it ll be difficult for him to start again if Lampard keeps same formation

      4. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It didn't take much to figure that he was a potential rotation/straight up dropped risk

    13. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Its got to the point where every goal scored by a player i dont own is irritating

      1. Amsterhammer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Stop playing then. It's a game and meant to be fun.

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

        Isn’t that always the case? 😛

      3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Hurts more when the player is owned by everyone (DCL)

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

      Need a lamptey's goal/assist to complete a good investment for me in this match. Was contemplating to start him or put him on the bench, then again my defence choices was limited.

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

        With you there, started him over Taylor

    15. Ruinenlust
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How is that a Trossard assist? Ridiculous

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

        Maupay scored the rebound...

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

          It was a cross not a shot

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

        Trossard skills

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

      Lamptey looks average to be honest

    17. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Best pick to replace Richarlison up to 8.0?
      a)DCL
      b)Mitrovic
      c)Maupay
