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.

    of course dcl and Bamford blank, no doubt Adams and watkins will manage to scuff one in

    I think this is the best PL match I've watched for a while!

      The next one will be better.

      1. Ragabolly

        Guaranteed 😀

    Glad I avoided by PVA to cancelo -4. Phew

  4. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This should`ve been closer to 5:5 than 0:0.

    Sterling needs to score 6 against Fulham to make up for his fraudulence

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You misspelt Cancelo

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

        Cancelo in for porto away then mendy back in for Fulham.

        1. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You think?

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

            Pep on Mendys goal 'if they score they have more chance to keep playing' but Cancelo is alot better defensively so will play v tougher teams and away games. Mendy the easy home games.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      At least you didn't captain him

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

        Not much consolation

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

        Same difference, unless VC doesn’t play

  6. Roy Hudd

    Dallas on 3 bonus for presumably tying his bootlaces nicely. He's done nothing in the game. Crazy how baps are awarded.

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

      This!

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

      Dallas owner but I agree

    3. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      that cross for Harrison

  7. Desi Gooner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mane, Sterling on bench and DCL/ Bamford competing for scruffiest game of the season - such is the luck this week

  8. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    So what position does Dallas play lately? ACM?

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      yes CAM or LB

      keep switching with Alioski

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        Thanks.. good to know

  9. WVA

    Nice close up of DCL spitting all over the floor and himself, I've always found spitting completely unnecessary unless of course something goes in your mouth but in general people just spit for no reason.

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I thought they were banned from spitting due to Covid..

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

      You don’t run much then?

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

        I've run and cycled my whole life and played footy for 20 years, never felt the need to spit constantly

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

          Totally agree.
          Always assumed it's some weird schoolboy thing they never grow out of.

    3. zon
      • 9 Years

      It's a physical, subconscious way of expressing dissapointment. Have you seen a player spit while celebrating after scoring a goal?

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

        It's a pretty dirty habit and a rancid way of expressing disappointment which is easily controlled in my opinion but oh well seems to be socially acceptable so what do I know

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

          Agree its absolutely disgusting

          Not going to happen but shd be a 1 game auto ban

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

        Rafinha literally just spat while celebrating his goal!

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

      If you play a football match you'll understand it's something to clear your throat ok

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

        Clear your throat of what? Saliva is in your mouth. I've played 1000s of football matches, how does playing football make you need to spit all the time?

  10. Pacer.

    Salah basically a fail, Mane a fail, KdB reliable but failed to really excel in a prime fixture, Sterling a joke.

    Why was it people were getting rid of Kane and Son again?

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

      The reliable.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This

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

        Should never have been a one or the other situation with the two highest scoring players

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Blinded

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

      Vardy mostly. but wouldn't be shocked if Kane and Son hauled.

    4. HVT
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      10pts is harsh on Kevin

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

      Kept them both, but lets not count chickens (and Salah hauled without fraud)

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

      How is 10 points failing to excel? Silly.

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

        It's fine. I'm happy with it. I wouldn't be happy with it if I'd traded Kane or Son for it and used transfers.

        Five goals, ten points.

  11. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Meslier haul today.

  12. Lazaretti
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any suggestions 2FT, 2.7 itb

    Martinez - Peacock-....
    Robertson - PVA - Dallas - Lamptey - Kilman
    Salah - J.Rodrigues - Grealish Ziyech - Klich
    Kane - Bamford - Watkins

    KdB Sterling in maybe something else. Willing to take -8 or -12 whatever it takes to shake this bunch.

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

    At some stage, Bamford's stats really mean nothing if he continuously misses from 6 yards out

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

      He gets 10-12 chances a game ; even I could put one in and so does Bam

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Everton missing siggy

  15. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hamez has been unlucky but is still a poor pick...

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Some people are relentless with the idea that Hamez is a bad pick. He can’t score every week

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

        He's not bad per say but when you have so many good options he's not looking like someone that is worth 7.5-8m.

      2. Sloane426
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He’s a bad pick for fpl. 50% of his returns have come in one game

  16. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Both teams giving each other so much space in midfield.

  17. Dosh
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Both teams so wasteful. Should be 1-1 or 2-2

  18. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Leeds solid at the back today. Never know which Leeds would turn up. They could keep CS or concede 4 a game. Such an exciting team.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Everton wasteful. Not Leeds being solid.

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

      Solid?!?

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

        Compared to the palace game yeah or the ones where they conceded 4.

  19. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    good- Sold Maupay for -4
    bad- Bought Bamford for him

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

      Only a net of -1 thus far, could be worse.

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        yes only -1

      2. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Imagine that Maupay pen went in LOL

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

          Luckily with Maupay, the chance he misses is always higher.

  20. Booked4Dissent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Everton aren’t going to score today. Bad game. Average teams. Basic.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Are you watching the game ?

  21. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Of course the most unlikely 0-0 of the season is going to finish 0-0, why wouldn't it?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Where's David Cootes?

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

    Every single outfield Leeds player, apart from the two centre-backs, created a chance in the first half vs. Everton.

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

      That’s some stat

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

      They really do attack as a unit, defend too!

  23. FPLMACKEM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Thankfully have Lewis coming on for Cancelo. What are people doing with him?

    Hold
    Sell

  24. southcoastbeast
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Out of these 4 choices, who is the best 3 premiums for the next 8 games ?

    A) salah
    B) kdb
    C) bruno
    D) kane

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

      Who do you think drops out?

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Wdym drops out

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

        I would say bruno, possibly kane but hes in great form and i dont want to get rid.
        I have bruno, kdb and kane atm, but salah needs to come in for the fulham game and onwards.
        So who do i sacrifice?

    2. NETFLIX & CHILWELL
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why didn't you ask about the next 28 games?

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

        Not sure, your right thou. I just feel i am am wasting transfer swapping between mids. I am just wondering whos everyone elses favourites.

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

      I think some switches between them will be needed over the next 8 games to target the likes of Fulham and West Brom

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

        Fair enough, its just trying to work the best one to ditch. Maybe i should ditch kane for a few weeks.

  25. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Team
    Klich DCL Bamford
    Bench
    Dallas

    Of course it’s 0-0 🙄

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      brutal

      Dallas with max baps too

  26. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Dallas to Cancelo for a -4 will likely cost me 10 points.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      wow

    2. Sloane426
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Never take a -4 for a defender

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

    Allan trying to honor Maradona

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      How did he get cocaine onto the pitch?

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Allan's Brazillian though.

  28. Top Lad Dakes.

  30. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Just curious Davies gets 1 or 2 points. His number came up at 59 but went out at 60 lol.

    1. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      i guess 2
