Calvert-Lewin and Bamford the Fantasy focus as Everton host Leeds

Everton’s Gameweek 10 meeting with Leeds is a tale of two forwards as far as Fantasy Premier League managers are concerned.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.9m) and Patrick Bamford (£6.1m) are owned by 60.9% and 35% of teams respectively and, unsurprisingly, bot start for their respective sides at Goodison Park.

While Leeds have gone with an unchanged XI from their 0-0 draw with Arsenal, Carlo Ancelotti has been forced into some alterations for Everton.

He sticks with the 3-4-2-1 shape used in the 3-2 win at Fulham but replaces the injured Lucas Digne (£6.2m) with Tom Davies (£5.3m) at left wing-back.

Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) holds onto his right wing-back role while Mason Holgate (£4.8m) comes into captain the side from centre-back, in for Yerry Mina (£5.5m).

Leeds’ unchanged set-up means FPL defender Stuart Dallas (£4.5m) is likely to play in central midfield once again, with Ezgjan Alioski (£4.4m) around to cover him at left-back.

Fresh from hitting the woodwork against Arsenal, it’s a second consecutive start at right-midfield for Raphinha (£5.4m) at the expense of Hélder Costa (£5.5m).

Everton XI (3-4-2-1): Pickford; Keane, Holgate, Godfrey; T Davies, Allan, Doucouré, Iwobi; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez.

Leeds United XI (4-1-4-1): Meslier; Alioski, Cooper, Koch, Ayling; K Phillips; Harrison, Dallas, Klich, Raphinha; Bamford.

    Plan to get Sterling now, he could haul big time vs Fulham. Have KDB so it would be city double up. Will wait for midweek games ofc but what do you think of doing James and Bruno to Sterling and Jota ?

    1. as33
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Im thinking to sell Sterling>KDB 😀

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Only if you captain Sterling it's worth that move.

    Sterling (C) next GW will finally repay me. 6 points instead of his usual 2!

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

      I wouldn't be surprised if he is benched again if he plays against Porto.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah could kneejerk to KDB

      2. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'm also looking at bringing in sterling (c) for this game

        But its such a massive risk and given my poor season not sure I have the minerals

        Might just play it safe with kdb

        Not convinced sterling just waltzes back into the league team...

      3. as33
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thats what im thinking to, he will be rested again

  3. Klaren
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I managed to get 0 from 2 but at least it won't be difficult to decide what to do with my 2 FTs for next week.

  4. Chucky

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Salah,KDB and Dias have all contributed so far and expecting Hamez and DCL to continue the trend and make it a perfect FPL day for me 😀

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

    DCL and Bamford ,... lots of goals please

  6. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Cant believe i am asking this.
    Is Welbeck an option now that Maupay is out? The fixtures in next 4 are great
    Or is Wilson still the better option?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Keep it simple and go for Wilson

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson imo

  7. MarcusAurelius

    Who’s on pens for Everton?

    1. Stormbringer22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Richarlison

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years

      Charlieson

      Rich

    5. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Richarlison i guess.

  8. Stormbringer22

    A bit disappointed to only get 10 (20) pts from KDB captain in a game that finished 5-0.

    All those that have Raz - keep him. He will be doing against Fulham what Mahrez did today

    1. dogtanion
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      What if he plays 90 in the champions league and Mahrez and Torres are rested ?

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Personally I think I'd rather pass on that suggestion, had enough of him in my team since GW2.

      20 points from a captain is never bad eventhough I understand the sentiment with him hitting the post.

  9. dicky2014
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kelly looks great tonight 🙂

  10. dogtanion
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Worst thing about owning Sterling is not the only the missing out on points today but the uncertainty of future minutes too. If he plays 90 mins midweek in the champions league it will be so annoying

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If he plays 90 midweek he gone

      1. dogtanion
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I don't see how he doesn't now.. no reason for Pep to change that team from today for Fulham.. ughhh

    2. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He surely will play close to 90 midweek. Should be easier for Pep to rotate during this period with those nice PL fixtures.

  11. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do you think Ferran Torres is one to watch? May even be preferred over Sterling and Mahrez slightly? There’s the Spanish connection too.

    Or am I trying to wish something to be true?

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think he is a good pick but the rotation is a problem.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I like Torres. I said it all week. I bought him in one of my FanTeam drafts too as a Zaha replacement.

  12. DGW Sane TC Fail....
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How can you be disappointed with a 20 point captain .. i will take that every game week.

    1. Salan
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Agree. Too many greedy.

  13. HD7
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hi, mates.
    So erm... fans of Spurs assets still neglecting City assets after this GW?

    1. djoker_nole
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      by City Assets you mean KDB right?

  14. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why cant both Sterling and Mahrez play, with KDB between them and Kun in front of them. That would be so much better than Foden, Torres and other youngsters..

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to argue that after they won 5-0

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years

    Where can one watch the Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr bout live?

    2. Joey Tribbiani

      Is it true that they arent allowed to knock out eachother?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years

        I hope not.

    Still confident Vardy will outscore KDB.

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I am sure he will.

    2. DGW Sane TC Fail....
      • 13 Years

      i went KDB(C) over Vardy. like you i think he will score big

  17. Ginkapo FPL

    32 from 2

    1. Ginkapo FPL

      Top stuff.

  18. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pending midweek, would you do cancelo to dias?

    Even if if made you 0.1m short of getting salah for gw12? Would need to take a hit (again)

    Already got reece James who seems obvious alternative

    Thanks

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      No point worrying now.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Indeed. Always the voice of reason .

  19. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Took saiss out for a -4.. cancelo in, looked good, had played 5 on the bounce and good fixture..

    Bad move!

    2 weeks in a row I'm fielding 2 defenders..

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm also on 2 defenders mate.

      Chilwell and James v spurs.

      Could go either way but braced for 4 pts combined

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not alone then!
        I have zouma.. but son kane, so not sure what I want in that one!

  20. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    That Haaland miss was something

  21. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    If Sterling + Cancelo play the full 90 midweek, I might just give them the revolving door treatment.

    Sterling + Cancelo > Salah + Justin -4.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Surely Sterling won’t be benched 3 prem games in a row?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        In fact, has it ever happened to him before at City?

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        If he's poor, he deserves to sit on the bench though. That was a great performance by City.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Granted, but Pep breeds confidence in his squad, so he needs a chance to redeem himself at some point.

      3. dogtanion
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That was their best performance of the season without him.

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He didn’t start last week either, it was the opposition that was so poor imo

      4. Klaren
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I don't think Pep necessarily looks at it as benched in 3 games in a row as long he plays minutes in either competition.

    2. dogtanion
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going to keep Sterling for Fulham then he will probably be off regardles.

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah we'll see. I planned to roll FT this week. I really hope both Cancelo and Sterling win their places back for next week.

      2. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Competition for those 2 wide places at city super intense now.

        Torres and mahrez both excellent today. Plus foden. I'm not sure sterling is a shoe in at the moment .

    3. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo id get rid. He was never the first choice.
      People were blinded by the fact that he created the most chances. Although City look a much better team with Mendy in.

      1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        His natural position is RB

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think I'm getting KDB anyways. Just a better asset in every single area. He's not even Kevin Deep Bruyne now.

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

      Brought Sterling in as a 2 week punt, before getting Salah back ... have to see it through for the second week and hope he gets some minutes - my two subs next week are Coufal (MUN) and Kilman (liv)

  22. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can’t make up my mind ... getting Cancelo now or Jota

    Think for next GW Cancelo is better value than Jota... has a 15pt in him

    But by then Jota might be out of reach....

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jota

    2. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo won't play lol

  23. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I can feel a certain Italian getting massively exposed today.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Now now i don't think Carlo exposes himself to others. He seems more dignified than that

    2. djoker_nole
      • 3 Years

      This

  24. Garam MOSALAH
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Early thought 2 FTs will surely wait until Friday

    A) Mane > Salah (have exact funds)
    B) Something else

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      without knowing your team how can anyone answer ?

      1. Garam MOSALAH
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        My main que is do you et Salah over Mane ?

    2. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A set and forget

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      B

  25. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do Son -> KdB/Raz (have exact funds) and play Lewis (avl) and Coufal (MUN) next GW or upgrade Mitchell to a premium (Dias/Walker/Castagne/Bellerin) and bench Lewis/Coufal?

  26. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have so much anxiety and stress right now from doing Reguilon to Cancelo this week. It's priced me out of Dias. My head's gone I dunno wtf to do.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Step back qnd realise its just a game. Think about the positives in your life and how you can strengthen them.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I keep trying but I keep getting gripped back into fpl. I'm seriously addicted and it effects my mood every week.

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Play God of War. Kill some things. You'll feel better

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Maybe watch asmr. It could help

      2. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This. Take a break, watch an Adam Sandler movie and focus on the more important things in life.

        1. CheesyZoot
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't watch Uncut Gems though, probably stress you out a lot more

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Yes I've seen that and agree lol

      3. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This. and get reece james. Hes a bap monster

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Log out and watch a movie.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'm going to be glued into fpl all weekend. That's the reality.

        1. Flynny
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I'm with you mate. Hard when things go bad and you see others doing well.

          If it gives you anxiety and stress you have to find a way to step back.

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I know. It seems like I'm joking but I'm really not.

        2. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          It could have worked having Cancelo in this week and was a risk vs reward decision which backfired this week. Try and relax until all the games have been played then decide what is the best next transfer or hold

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Honestly, take a break. If you want a fantasy football fix still, maybe play something less involving like a different league or champs league.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I do I play the UCL one too

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Just play that for now then, it shouldn’t affect your mood for a whole weekend, just an hour or so of slight disappointment.

          When I’m having a bad week I stay off the live rank sites, bps monitoring etc and just try to watch the football itself where I can.

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            After this weekend I might take a break. Can't feel like this over a pointless game it's ridiculous

              Exactly, it’s similar to gambling in many ways, the benefit being this is free with no money at stake generally.

      But you just had cancelo didn't play and you have bench so what's the problem ? It's not like your player sent off or missed a penalty lol

    Jesus didn’t set the world alight today, every chance Sterling starts up top next week.
    Something for Sterling ragers (like myself) to consider.

      F!ck it.. my last week I’ll EVER own him again.. he’s my captain and then it’s Mo in GW 12 straight in

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Seems a case of don’t buy, don’t sell, don’t captain with him for next week.

    2. Flair

      Zero chance. Even Torres is more likely to play upfront.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        You reckon? Has Sterling really been that bad? I didn’t see but heard he looked quite sharp midweek

        1. dogtanion

          He did . It was actually off the back of that performance that I chose him over KDB. He also was taken off after 75 mins so seemed like a decent shout to start today. Gotta love this game !

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Ain’t it! I can’t complain, I was 0.1 off KdB after the second Jota rise so I had no choice!

        2. Flair

          He's not a striker. Should start on the wing vs Fulham but we can't be sure.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years

            True, I think with both wingers looking in fine form Pep may want to give Sterling a start up top, get him some goals and boost his confidence.
            Although of course trying to second guess Pep is asking for trouble!

    3. Weeb Kakashi

      Sterling is no way starting upfront again. Unless both strikers and Torres is out

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years

        I was thinking while watching this game how incredible city would be if they had a world class no 9.

    4. Hazz

      That's a strange take. He played alright. Gives a lot to the team.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe I’m clutching at straws! Trying to avoid any rage transfers and help others from not doing the same

    LR getting the Jota VC haul after Sterling cap doesn't come on lmao

    1. Zimo

      Whos his first sub

  29. Weeb Kakashi

    Would you do Rashford>Sterling (-4)? . Have KDB too.
    Or is it better to not do it as it gives me an opportunity to get Mane/Aubameyang the coming week.

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Did you just say Aubamaeyang

      I mean.. for litreally one week and one week only I’d be tempted

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Heard me right.
        - Playing through the middle now
        - fixtures improving
        - On pens and no way rotated during the busy schedule

      2. Weeb Kakashi

        One of the best finishers in the league.
        If Arsenal do improve a bit and look attacking then i am in.

  30. Champions League Varane

    Chances of Oli Burke playing/starting?

    And how many points did KDB get I don’t want to look at my squad right now

    1. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      9 + 1 bonus 10 points
