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.

    Dreadful day for my team then. No show for Cancelo and Sterling and 3 blanks. If you haven't played your wilcard yet, don't bother. It'll wreck your teams.

    3 years, 4 months ago

    1. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

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

        I even have Vardy, but chose him over...

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

        2. Chucky

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

      Because scoring 4 against Leeds should have been easy ...

      Blame those knees

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

        It's the players around him - they're average enough, bar Hames and Richarlison (who is greedy)

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

          Not really.. just bad service today. Missing digne badly

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

    Hames seller and Dallas coming in off the bench for Lamptey.
    Redeemed myself a little

  8. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    According to irbox Everton will win the league, right?

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

    Thank you Dallas for putting a smile on my face after PVA disaster yesterday.

  10. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    34 with Martinez, Chilwell, Fernandes, Grealish, Brewster & Coufal left. Complete disaster. Will be lucky to get to 50

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

      Go away

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      Show off

    3. RocketMan

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

      This should be banned.

    5. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      There’s always one. Boohoo I've got a bad score (secretly knowing it’s good). Poor me.

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

    Majorly got away with it by selling Hamez > KDB as part of a hit.

    Another day, he gets 13 points. (Yes KDB could have gotten more too, but still).

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ifs, buts and maybe’s. Shoulda woulda coulda.

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

    Bottomed.. 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

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

      Ugh.. A if you must

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

        i don't know what to do, with the fixtures , Man City players could go on a tear

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

          Yeah tough for you.

          Keep Kane and DCL. losing Robbo with upcoming fixtures is risky but then CS is a big ask for liv nowadays imo

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

      C

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

      Would do second one but not Jesus. Robbo has nice fixtures coming up and DCL has burnley

  13. Hattrick Harry
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Not so good but changing Maupay to Bamford not so bad

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maupay to anyone who as a good move.

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

    Come on Burke.

    Last on my bench - but a goal would mean is he a more reliable bench player .....felt like a dead option till now

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

    Kün to start vs. Fulham...??

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

      He's had a setback. Kinda doubt it.

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

      Never consider Aguero. Ever.

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

        Historically bad advice.

        Too early though.

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

        Whaaaaaaat??!!! #FPL legend. Can't wait to get him on board when he's looking like he might start... 😎

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

      Never buy a player returning from injury or who is not 100% fit.

      One of my lessons this season. Jumped on Pulisic too soon.

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

      Sterling up top next week is my call

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

    DCL Rodriguez blanks, will probably need Vardy to save my GW after tomorrow

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

    Do we think KDB will rise tonight?

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

      Yes

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

        Ok, I am getting him than most probably

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

    I think Everton will put a few past Burnley. The wingback system with Rodriguez more central is perfect for playing a deeper lying team.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Burnley will beat Everton 1-0

  19. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bamford should have gotten 3bps for missing so many chances.

  20. FPL Daniel

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years

      I need to get shot of Brewster. Lol.

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

      Yep, Bamford to Vardy here.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        Sweet.

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

    Rank hasn't suffered too much despite only 12 points so far. Rough week for everyone.

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

      Tomorrow will be absolutely pivotal. Need a Southampton and Chelsea masterclass

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

        Southampton masterclass and 3-3 in Chelsea / Spurs 😀

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      Hits galore

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

        Clearly

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

      Proud Mahrez owner here. Just wish I'd stuck the VC on him... 🙁

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

        Congrats! Very patient owner....

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

        Sweet. Well done

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

    Why do people still want to sell Kane and Son? Blimey.

    Is Kane injured already? Is son Red carded already?

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

      Poor fixtures and other premiums with better fixtures

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

        Ah. That fixtures argument.

        I managed to bring in Vardy and KDB this week while still keeping both Kane and Son.

        Attacking fixtures in s good. Class is permanent though.

        1. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Presumably you brought in KDB and Vardy because of the fixtures?

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

    Who should I bench from this front 8?

    Bruno Son Grealish Jota Torres
    Kane Vardy DCL

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

      Sorry to say but this headache is self inflicted
      Jota or Torres. Might be tough vs old team for Jota hard to say with midweek games

  25. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who is the best defender now 4.5 and below?

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

      Masuaku?

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Also leaning to
