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.

    Actually thought everton had weathered the storm and Pickford was going to get me some rare points before he leaves my team! Lowest scoring point scoring keeper in the league says it all. Can’t believe how much worse their defence has got this season.

      Pickford is bad, yes. Maybe even really bad. That goal was 100% on the defender though, throwing his leg out and letting a shot go between his legs. Anyone with half a brain who's been nutmegged once never gets nutmegged again. He needed to hold the front leg up off the ground, keep it close to the other as the ball is kicked, then time it out to block the shot if it does indeed go to the far post while still initially being a position to block a shot going between his legs.

    Apologies my mistake it's Harison assist, not Ayling

      Don't worry about it Epic Fail.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        They look similar from above and the position was the right back

  4. Pedram

    My patience is running thin with James Rodriguez

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

      Thin? Mine was non existent after his display against Fulham last week hence I sold him for Jota ahead of this gameweek

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

      Selling now

    DCL goal please I am on my knees. I feed on the tears of Leeds defence owners

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      Lol. Good one

    2. MagicMessi

    James Rodriguez needs to go...

    A) Jota
    B) Grealish

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Either. A short if you have WC. B long if you don’t

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Leeds players are so tempting. Ayling, Dallas, Klich, Harrison, Bam Bam

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

      True. Tough fixtures coming up though

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

      A better striker for Leeds would've been a season keeper

    Bamford and DCL playing
    Ayling benched

    I remember when Everton were going to win the league.

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years

      Your a lot and older than I imaged

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Come ooooon Bamford ?

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

    Rodriguez -> Harrison/Raphina GW12 could be interesting. Not sure what I'd do with the extra funds though

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

      Dictionary definition of kneejerk

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

        GW12, so not knee-jerk.

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

        Completely incorrect.

    That's the 4th offside goal?

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

      Put it wide

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

    Leeds look the much better team. James quality but other than that Everton look below average

  16. Vazza
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do we have any members here who are yet to use their wildcards?

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

      Yeah I'm waiting until the final GW possible. Hopefully some DGW news and some form of snow blizzard in December.

  17. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Oh my what a miss for Alioski. Could have passed it to Bam Bam though

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

      Offside so not important.

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    DCL and Bam Bam blanks confirmed Have them both 🙁

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

      Cheapskate front line that!

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

    Double Chelsea defence plus ziyech

    Triple villa

    Bruno and vardy (c) still to play.

    Not sure what to make of that....

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My casual rival Captain DCL! Deserves it tbh

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

    Have Hamez, Richa and Bamford in this game.

    The DCL blank is probably worth more...

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

    Rare second blank coming up here for DCL.

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

      Should have another from that jammy assist

  23. FPL DONKEY
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Got Bamford on my WC this week. Can't wait to swap him for Antonio

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

    Rodriguez and Salah owners must be annoyed

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

      o/

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

      Have both. Absolutely apoplectic.

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

      And KDB owners to some extent

  25. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Not sure why anyone would captain DCL in this fixture really. Leeds have been solid defensively. Just not the right game to captain.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would still really fancy Werner next week vs Leeds(it's the right game for him, not for captaincy but I mean in general)

      Non-owner btw

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

        I can definitely see Werner performing well in this one yeah.

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

      Lol ofc you say this after 90 minutes

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

        If he said it earlier u would have said "game nit iver yet"

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

          Yh sure

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

      Always felt like chasing points to me but Leeds have not been solid defensively.

    4. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Many thought it would be a high scoring fixture.

  26. Make United Great Again

    Ayling with the most unexpected clean sheets past 2 weeks

  27. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Doucoure has been Leeds’ best player.

    Klich is quality

    1. MagicMessi
