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.

    Lamptey first on the bench, need Saiss & Podence to both start!

      Genuinely think he's a world-class footballer I'm not even being reactionary

        I know the word World class is thrown around too often these days but I've always rated the lad personally

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

          100% agree. Spent too long in the shadows. Could be up thier in top 5 players in the world with some consistent playig time and staying injury free.

    2. NWA
      • 6 Years

      should have left Madrid earlier

      Same bro, was set on Werner Hamez to DCL son tbh

      Indeed, puts my HRod to Barnes move in jeopardy......

  10. Bounce

    HT subs were going to be obvious this year with the heavier fixture schedule.

  11. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Clearly an assist for DCL. You can see the ball veer slightly as he let out a tactical fart to push it into the path of Rodriguez.

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

      Only fair then

  12. Jebiga

            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            not really, i made a mov and i stand by it, plus was agreed with on here 🙂

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

          If you consider the broader picture that's not a terrible move until the end of the GW and it's not a one week game

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            dont care, season is crap already, gotta make something happen

      Awful move

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        not really

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

      I mean. That’s. Ouch.

    6. Hotdogs for Tea

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

          FPL is a cruel mistress, I sold both Son & Vardy for hits in consecutive weeks before they both hauled 🙂

  17. Pep bites Kun
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Just in - missed the Chelsea game. I see lots of goals, but still no Werner. How did he play guys - am I just being stubborn keeping or there are positives?

    1. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No positives

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

      Stubborn but it is Southampton next (non-owner)

    3. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Ffs overreacting but definitely consider swapping

    4. Limbo
      • 13 Years

      Wasn’t his day (week, month).

    Foden benched?

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years

      Rumours???

  19. Says

    Imagine the player Trossard would be if he wasn't a heroin addict

  20. Niho992

    Best Everton player in their history. Lol

  21. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years

    Averaging 4 goals a game again. Will increase at Elland road

  22. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

    James on penalties now that Richa is injured?

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

      Siggy

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

    Watching Brighton makes me feel a whole lot better about owning Zaha next gameweek. Pathetic defence.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 5 months ago

        The stoppable force Vs the moveable object

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

          Boom!

      • lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Well I guess you didn't watch Palace and Zaha earlier then

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

          Away to Chelsea? What expectations did you actually have there?

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

            A goal or two from zaha will be nice.

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

              Would've been nice but you're not exactly expecting a Zaha haul away to Chelsea.

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

                Why not?
                Chelsea is weak defensively, i expect them to lose anyway but not without a goal or two.

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

                  Expect palace to lose

    2. Towsor44
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ooo, lovely, saw the news late last night re Mane and transferred him out for J Rod 🙂

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

        Nice, didn't even consider for some reason. Went Mahrez.

    3. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not pulling the trigger yet but is Digne to Trent the move? Don't need to take a hit for it either.

      1. Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes.

    4. Chucky
      • 10 Years

      Coleman wagon derailed...

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

      Lamptey substitution injury or tactical?

    6. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      James is going to be one of those players that gets points regardless of stats.

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

        Starting to think mr stats doesnt watch the games, and actively avoids Vardy.

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        will frustrate

    7. Top Lad Dakes.

      Don’t shaft us here Pep

          • 14 Years

          I wouldn't take any notice of this guy from what I've read

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

            Agreed....
