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.

    Richarlison deserves a benching next game after this sort of a performance. 🙄

    Who is (or will be) Chelsea’s key attacking asset(s)? I’m looking to ship out JRod and wondering whether to gamble on Pulisic so soon after coming back from injury, whether I should go with current favourite - Ziyech - or someone else?! I sold Werner for Vardy this week with a view to getting a Chelsea midfielder soon. Thoughts welcome. TIA

      only Werner

    2. diesel001

      Ziyech. Just be prepared for a bumpy ride.

      Pulisic will be carefully used when he returns and his minutes and whether or not he starts will be a constant source of frustration. Go Ziyech or Mount even.

      I would gamble on Havertz

    DCL captainers in the mud

      Happy days

  4. WVA

    Bumford

  5. LewanGOALski

    big fat 6 points from 3 today... 😐

  6. tafrère

    F off

  7. FPL Daniel

    Bam Bam does a Blank Blank

  8. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Hames to Jota or Mahrez???

    I own Salah and Torres

      Depends on midweek.

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

        Fair

    2. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I would say Mahrez for fixtures

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

    Stupid to do DCL, Zaha and Rodriguez to KDB Wilson and Jota right?

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

      Deadline was yesterday.

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

      Getting rid of DCL after his 2nd blank in 10 games is probably a bit premature

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

      Don't ditch DCL yet, other 2 100%

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

      I dont think that's stupid. They've all got the form and fixtures so it's hardly points chasing either!

    5. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good to me

    6. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      For -4 I think those are good moves

  10. BenDavies

    Horrific FPL Saturday. Sunday and Monday to redeem?

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

      These spread out games over several days make it very hard to judge your week until the final match played

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

        True

  11. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I'm not gonna pull the trigger yet put have no Man City at present.

    A) Bruno and Robbo to KDB Dias/Laporte
    B) Bruno and Kane to KDB Jesus
    C) Bruno and DCL to KDB and Bamford

  12. Dosh
    • 10 Years

    Kalvin Phillips really makes Leeds tick

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

    Beautiful Bamford blank.

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

    Meslier you beauty grab another save I'm greedy af

  15. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Disappointing from Bamford. Expected something in this game...

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

      He's so un-clinical. He really should be scoring that one Pickford saved with his feet

  16. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    DCL. Hamez, Bamford in my team = 6 points.

    Dallas on my bench = 8 points.

    Simple question, what to do with Hamez and Bamford ? Sell both or first one, then monitor the other one for one more week?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson for Bamford seems logical enough

    2. jomikijiq
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you sell Bamford? I will probably buy him in GW12/13

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

        He is looking more and more like the player who missed 30+ big chances last season in Championship, that is the reason.

  17. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Going for Vardy (C) and Hamez instead of KDB (C) and Wilson such a defining moment of my season so far.

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Calm down, Vardy hasn’t even Played yet

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

        Even 30 pts from him will only match the other two.

  18. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Pickford turned into Buffon

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

    Think it may be time to go for Leeds defence lads

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

      If Lamptey continues to frustrate I might look at Dallas

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

      Lol they should have concede like 3 goals.

  20. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    How many bonus for Dallas?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years

        Thanks mate, locked in?

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    DCL blank is a little meh, but isn't he highly captained overall? Silver linings.

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

      Yes 96% ownership I believe

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

    Pickford with a top safe at the end lol

  23. sergioaguero67
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Choose one

    A) Vardy + Grealish
    B) Wilson + Bruno Fernandes

    Please help

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

      Grealish+Wilson+3.0

  24. thomashl

    How did James Rodriguez look tonight?

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

      Handsome enough, IMO...

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

        Haha! I bet. Sell or hold? Have DCL

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A little sluggish but motivated.

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

        Thoughts on moving him for Jota and Son for KdB?

        No salah... have kane

        1. Plant Based FPLer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          There are a bunch of fixtures still to pan out, including champions league. Jota certainly is in better form than Rodriguez. Son is on par with KDB.

  25. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Everton look SH!T!!

    Cheeky 8 points from Dallas. I think my Leeds DF double up is going to come into its own over Christmas

  27. MagicMessi

  29. Flair

    DCL blank isn't great but his EO is around 70% overall so it doesn't particularly matter that much
