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.

    3. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years

      Palace defender at 4.5 could be nice

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Have Mitchell who I think will keep playing for a bit more. Burnley or Southampton maybe? Or one of the Leeds boys?

    4. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years

      Burnley and Newcastle rotate really well

    5. Rock n Grohl

    Guaita (Nyland)
    Saiss - Lamptey - Digne (KWP, Ferguson)
    Zaha - Trossard - KDB - Bruno (Elneny)
    Wood - DCL - Jimi

    1. ZimZalabim

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

        I had Son I did him to Trossard for this week, assuming Son was out for 4 weeks or something. Who were you thinking?

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

          Kane or Son or Bale

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

      I'd do Wood to Kane, think he's an outstanding pick

    4. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Pulisic, Son and one of Trent / Robo would be on my list with that team.

    5. have you seen cyan

    Will Brewster start Sunday?

    1. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'd say it's quite likely

    2. Rock n Grohl
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Something mentioned yesterday about not being registered in time for this weekend?

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

        Great thanks get nine points of the bench then

  10. riot

    Rich and Wilson to DCL and Maupay done, time to relax over int break. Brewster first on bench so I'll tank an injury

    So I played Soucek over Bissouma. Surely that goal was a one off event right ? I fully expect Bissou to string together a nice run of 2,2,3,2,3,2,2,2,2,3 pts till the end of season but then again Soucek isn't likely to do any better is he ?

    1. riot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Soucek significantly better option

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

      That was a natural decision. I would have done the same. Don’t be hard yourself

  12. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lampetey came off at HT with a tight hamstring according to Graham Potter (Source - Radio 5)

    Looks like it wasn’t tactical then.

  13. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Was going to do Son>Jrod and got talked out of it and into getting Zaha instead... that's gone well so far

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      There’s certain teams you don’t consider attackers from. Palace are one of them.

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Every time I've not gone with my original decision and changed my mind due to advice on here this season it's gone badly

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

      I dont know why I got Zaha, always the same thing everytime I own him. Does nothing for 5 weeks, finally gets a goal the week I sell him or he scores when I have him and it gets VAR'd.
      Why do I do this to myself 🙁

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'm hoping over the nice run of fixtures he can pay off the decision somehow

  14. Vazza

  23. have you seen cyan

    I have a really random question, say I wanted to make an app game and it was about the premier league. In that game, can I use the actual real player names and team names from the PL, without paying any royalities or breaching any copyrights?
    I think big games like pro evo and fifa have to pay to sue those real player names? But then websites like, and other fantasy apps, websites etc use the names and they obviously dont pay, so how does that work?
