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.

    James v Barnes.

    Of course I picked Barnes.

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

      Nothing wrong with Barnes, hasn't even played yet

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Everyone raving Barnes on here, good player but went 10 games at project restart without much.

      Like DCL did!

    Thanks to the Colombian Ronaldo I might see a green arrow this weekend

  7. adstomko

    36 points from 2 players so far. Happy days.
    Little worried about captaining Jiminez now

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

      Hamez and Chilwell?

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

        Indeed

    2. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Did you play Jorginho? I sold him which I’m now regretting

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

        No. Unless penalty rule changes, might bring him in though

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

    Nooooooo

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Just noticed that Trossard got an assist.

    Is that correct?

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

      Yes, he forced Prickford into a save and Maupay scored the rebound.

  10. GOATMEAT
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Was Lamptey injured or why was he subbed at half time?

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

    KDB deep confirmed. Sterling over KDB also confirmed success.

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

      Bookmarked Pikki Blunders

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

      How do you know they aren’t playing a 4-1-4-1?

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

        They are...

    3. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, here we go!

    4. Wicked Weapon
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      By order of the Pukki fookin Blinders!!

    5. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not if Sterling blanks...

      And KDB was top scoring mis last season from deep position

  12. IRBOX ⚽

    Everton attack has been revolutionised. 5 against WBA, 2 against CPL, 4 against WHU and now 4 and counting against BHA!

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Just sort the keeper out now.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        100% expect us to sign competition for Pickford and then he be usurped. Bit like Hendo/De Gea

    2. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Those are some tough defenses

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Statistically Brighton have had one of the best defences in the league so you’ve made yourself look a bit silly there

        1. Arlo2103
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Brighton have conceded 3 or more in every game they have lost. What statistics are you looking at?

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

    Whyyyyyyyyy

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

      Because of many becauses

  14. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Finally City looking like having a good defence.

    When Aguero is back they could be formidable again

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nope

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years

        Why lol

  15. Puntillimon

    Feeling very down now as I did James to foden 2 weeks ago 🙁

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      You deserve it for selling colombian Ronaldo!:D

  16. riot
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Is DCL still limping or is he alright now

  17. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If I sold Hamez i'd quit the game. Not owning him entirely is already too much pain.

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      'If', which suggests you didn't. 🙂

  18. Shark Team

    Richarlison injury looked serious?
    Estimated days out based on your football experience?

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

      He could lose the leg.

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

      Should be fine after the IB

    3. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Enough that you can swap him for DCL

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

      Was a doubt and appeared a risk to play that failed rather than anything new. Need to wait for news but certainly nothing to say he'll not be back for gw5 yet.

  19. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Hamez delivered me points that 11 players did last week. Thanks lad.

  20. Top Lad Dakes.

    Steep a BAP from DCL, Doucoure!

    2. Rainer

      Win the next one and it’s on.

  22. Pedram

    Get another one DCL

  23. dansmusen

    Hamez is a world class player for 7.5 that has to be one of the worst pricing ever in FPL

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

      Firmino 9.5 is the worst price of all time.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No one had any idea he'd settle this well.

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Agree. Fully expected him to be 9.0+ and making a mockery of his price

  24. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ancelotti on James Rodriguez, who will play for Colombia in the early hours of the Wednesday before #GW5: "He doesn't have a lot of time to recover, I hope he can recover well for the game against Liverpool. If he doesn't - he's going on the bench!"

    The reason why i didnt buy James. Thank you Carlo !

  25. The Mandalorian

    The goal that made J Rod famous.

      couldn't work out which one he was in 140p blurry-o-vision, so i focussed on the one not running around much

  26. pundit of punts

    Don’t have Hames.

    Lol@me

      I took him out on WC GW3.
      And didn't get him for Son this week. Hilarious.

  27. Flair

    1. Wild Rover

      Radical

  30. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Was it £22m for Hamez?

    What a steal. Carlo doing absolute bits

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

      Free Transfer

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Whole new midfield for less than Kai Havertz cost.

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It was a free transfer with a clause giving Real Madrid a percentage of any sell on fee .

    4. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Real wanted his wages of their books.

    5. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not just him.. Allan and Doucoure.. amazing business
