Should we reconsider Everton’s FPL attackers for Gameweek 20 and beyond?

With no match in Double Gameweek 19, have Everton gone under the Fantasy Premier League radar ahead of Gameweek 20?

That’s what we are pondering in this latest article as the Toffees face a period of appealing fixtures.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men had fans on the edge of their seats at the start of the season and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) became a near-essential pick after delivering returns in eight of his first nine games.

Lucas Digne (£6.0m) was thriving as a maurauding left-back, providing five assists in 10 matches and summer signing James Rodríguez (£7.7m) hit the ground running in the Premier League.

However, as we look towards Gameweek 20, it is a very different story for Everton’s attacking assets.

With no goals in five games and a hamstring injury threatening to keep him out for the next few, Calvert-Lewin has been sold by nearly a million players

Digne and Rodríguez, once well-owned assets, are now in just around 13% of squads combined.

With FPL players selling Everton players en masse, we take a look at their underlying numbers to see if any of them are worth keeping for their appealing schedule.

    A. Lookman (bha)

    B. Soucek (cry)

    C. Coufal (cry)

    1. Coys96

      C

    2. Stimps

      A, easy

    Seems ages ago that DCL was the must have fpl player

      Season keeper 😉

        There has only been one player I've kept all season... Keinan Davis lol.

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He eas scoring for fun then too. Landscape seems to have changed again at Eve.

      Wouldn't rule out a return to that form but need them all fit and playing. Alan still injured and Hames recovery uncertain.

      Both the above vital in any investment in Eve

  7. Team Bobcat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Too costly and too much of a gamble in my eyes.

    Could gamble on Villa who have equally as good a run if not better and their assets are much cheaper.

    mo, mo

    For anyone having Soucek benching headache.

    "Michail Antonio’s impact on the output of West Ham midfielders:

    All five of Jarrod Bowen’s goals have come in the nine matches Antonio has started.

    All five of Tomas Soucek’s goals have come in the 10 matches Antonio hasn’t started."

      Boom. Tre useful.

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I should have seen this before dgw 🙁

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years

      Super useful. Thanks a lot!

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Won't be long til Antonio gets injured though

    5. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Soucek > Gundo until Antonio injured again, then.

    6. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      West Ham should just drop Antonio then. 10 goals between those two! :p

    Genuine Question

    Do u believe in curses? I am 100% sure Salah blanks tonight becuase i do

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No.

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I never have done until this season

      I think he blanks (but not for that reason)

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope. But since this season is cursed, he will blank.

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What is paddy power saying about salah chances of blanking? I would trust those stats more than any hoodoo stuff around the place

    5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I will start believing in them if he blanks tonight.

    6. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Are you pals with the Zambian witch doctor?

    7. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's the only explanation for my performance this season.

    8. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      100% blanks, because he's my captain, I've had 7 captain blanks in a row (ignoring a KDB assist last week) and I'm on less than 50 points this week.

      1. Threat Level Midnight
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        So you haven't had 7 blanks in a row then...

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Shh.. Every man and his dog had KDB captain in the blank week so I'm not counting it

    9. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think Salah might come good
      Cancelo is the one cursed

  11. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Martinez
    Dias | Dallas | Cresswell
    B.Fernandes | Salah | Rashford | Raphinha
    Werner | Bamford | Watkins

    Johnstone | R.James | Coufal | Soucek

    A) Coufal > Cancelo (start over Werner)
    B) Coufal & Salah > Cancelo & Sterling (-4)
    C) Salah > Sterling
    D) Save
    E) Other

    Think I might keep Werner for now, no great options. Don't like Werner > Vardy for -4 this GW

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I'd prefer Gundo over Sterling tbh.

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Would you consider Werner + Soucek --> Antonio + Gundogan?

      Out of those either A or D

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Quite like that tbh

        Would be a -4 and would mean benching headache but I like Antonio & Gundo.

        Thanks for your advice!

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

      I'd raise money this week to do Werner > Kane next week.

  12. SomeoneKnows
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    So who should make place for Son?
    KDB, Salah or wait another gameweek?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wait UNLESS KdB is out

    2. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KdB. Fatigued, pts so far this season, fixtures.

  13. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    No thanks.

  14. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    If kdb is injured and misses 1 game would you do

    Kdb and souceck > salah and gundo -4

    To leave me a mid or gundo, Esr, rash, salah, Bruno

    Or just hold Kdb

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If one game hold

      Otherwise free to gundo and hold.soucek.one more.week. Salah has though fixture.

      Hope you have a nice dgw

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Tough fixture not though sorry

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on the news and your bench. I am holding. Just doing Soucek to Gundo. Have Holding to come off the bench in case KDB misses out. Plays SHU in 21. If the news is that he misses more than 1

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If the news is that he misses more than 1, I will transfer out.

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn't be getting Salah now either. You can just save money and get Gundo now and Son/Kane next week.

    5. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

  15. SuperDan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Yay or nay?

    KDB, Vardy, Soucek > Son, Kane, Barnes

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not Vardy out, like the other 2 moves if KdB is out

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nay

    3. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely not. I have Vardy and I'm keeping for the next two. Leicester are a good team that can create chances against anyone. For KDB just wait on news.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Neigh.

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      For free next week.

  16. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Is there a real chance to survive in the fpl cup
    Me: 81 pts 2 to go (Salah(c) and Martinez)
    Him:93 pts 2 to go (Robertson and Watkins)

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think you're out I'm afaid

      1. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Its gonna be long night i am sure

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You’re done.

      1. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If only Martinez kept cs,he was close for some moment. But he has KDB as captain and failed so i cant complain so much about it.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      You need a Salah haul.

      1. SimonOwen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nah if its 1-0 and 0-0 with a single Salah goal its a win 😀 (no rob assist)

        1. Goodricke
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          What about clean sheet?

      2. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        *mega haul

      3. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes,at least 1 goal and 1 assist from him

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah hattie

      1. GROBARI
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Fingers crossed

  17. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    72-69 to my opponent in cup

    They only have El Ghazi.

    I have Salah, Martinez & Watkins

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Surely I'm through right?

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If you’re not I will have had a cracking game week.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Obviously although el G could well start as Barclay only just back from injury and looked exhausted after 60 mins

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      90%

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

      Yes you are safe

  18. Netters2018
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Maddison or Barnes?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wait one more week to assess

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'll probably go Maddison

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison.

    3. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Maddison if cash doesnt matter (as they are almost equal)

    4. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Stats say Barnes, and he's on the pitch for longer

  19. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I made my best transfers of the season this week. Balbuena and Adams to Coufal and Antonio. Net gain of 24 points but my total is still only 72 this week. Hard to have a really big score if you don't have Stones, Justin or Dias.

    Need something big from Trent and Mo (c) tonight.

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice moves that you needed 🙂

      GL tonight

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Balbuena and Adams to Coufal and Antonio was a great move. Should be happy with that long term.

    3. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cheers lads. Glad to have Antonio finally. Was supposed to be my transfer for Mitrovic in GW8!

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

      DCL and Taylor to Antonio and Cresswell for a hit worked out well, and they have decent fixtures going forward. I had less success in targeting City mids over their defence.

  20. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Hamez and DCL bringing home 24 points vs WBA was nice. But no.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fit DCL back if Hamez, Digne and Richa are also fit and in form was the plan when I sold DCL before fixture change many weeks ago.

  21. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What's the biggest rank jump you've made in the last half of the season?

    Need some inspiration 🙂

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I always jump towards the beginning or middle then fall away.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Hate to be that guy, but have you noticed that every game in the next gw is on BT? 😛

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not second half, but went from 189k to 3.4k in last three weeks, so big jumps are always possible.

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wow

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

        Wow what are/were the GW ranks?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          400k, 284k, 124

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Lol u must have a chance for 200 this gw

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              No, I'm all out. The only way is down 🙂

      3. Kabayan
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Impressive

    3. Joey Tribbiani
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      like in 1 week?

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Nah over the course of the last half of season

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

      300k to 4k 3 seasons ago

      900k to 11k in 2011/12 season

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If there's another stupidly high variance week like this one again with centre-backs scoring 30 points, there's always a chance of high rank jumps if you're lucky enough to own them.

    6. Black Knights
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      150k from 200k to 50k in GW4 and have been no lower than 100k since.

    7. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I had a 3m rank fall in one gameweek if that helps.

    8. umerlfc
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Can't recall 2nd half jumps but this was my OR situation

      GW7: 2 Million
      Now: 29k

      Just play the right amount of different I guess. Not too out of the box and not too template or points chasing as well

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Just a few spots between us in pak league. Im in the 30ks

  22. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What’s more likely:

    A) Shaw playing vs pool in fa cup and Telles playing against shu
    B) Telles playing vs pool in fa cup and Shaw playing against shu

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      B

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years

      B but we'll know before the deadline....

      1. Neves say Neves
        • 5 Years

        Yeah I know but I’m having a debate with a mate, thanks for the reply!

  23. Kane and Ablett

    Maguires headers or Shaws baps just before the deadline ?

    1. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Shaw was playing almost as a left winger last night, would go with that potential

    Getting 100+ points this week isn't an achievement. Getting 120+ points is an achievement imo

      I'm in a league of 103 players and over half are already on 100+ this week

        Hadn't looked at that league for a while. Speechless now that I have... 😉 I knew you had it in you - great week mate! 🙂

          Hello stranger. Cheers 🙂

      Not having enough funds for Cancelo or Dias, thus picking Stones is not an achievement, that's just Jammy...

      Well played sir!

        Cancelo 8, Stones 27 is quite possibly one of the biggest FPL injustices of all time.

        1. built_this_city

          Had Dias rather than either of those guys.... nice middle ground

          Cancelo is a fantastic FPL asset but there was a good chance of a rest this dgw, Pep even mentioned him by name. With Laporte and Ake injured I think many went for the safe Dias/Stones combo and the rest is history.

      Getting 90 will be an achievement for me. And I scored 96 in a SGW, 3 weeks ago! Extremely poor DGW.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        3 years, 2 months ago

        This. I broke 100 in GW14 without trying 😉

      Depends on the chips used

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years

      I'm currently on 50 (-4). Team wasn't even bad. Pretty much no coming back from this, though.

      1. built_this_city
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        lol, you poor bugger

    6. @persecuted_by_mods

        IF you used wildcard or freehit less than 100 is a fail, 100 is decent and 130+ is good

        If you only used BB and nothing else I'd imagine a very low score if we're talking 3 Leeds and you never set up your team for the double

        Just dealing with the constant nonsense that now surrounds FPL and still wanting to bother playing the game is enough of an achievement for me.

      • DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If Salah scores tonight I will likely hit 140 plus, but with the TC in play it is a relative fail based on the points flying around this week.

        1. Hangman Page
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years

          140 points is never a fail relative or absolute.

          1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I should say the TC is a fail. The score is good.

      • sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        On towards that with 112 points, without chips. Salah(C), Grealish and Wilson left.

      Would you start Pope or Areola?

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Pope you would pick religiously and Areola only on the periphery.

      Best hits I’ve ever took, -8 for Mitchel and DCL for Antonio and Stones

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wow! Well done.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        picked Madison, Antonio and Stones for Rashford, Brewster and Zouma.

    9. Hangman Page

      I think I might consider Hamez yeah. Alternative to Grealish.

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

        He's nowhere close to being on my radar in truth.

        Saka, Gundo, Maddison, Foden even Pereira all much nicer picks imo.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Wow! and that is coming from a toffee!

      I will believe in Witches if Salah blanks tonight

      tonight is the fifth game after all

      I am serious

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Better start believing. I don't even think he'll have a shot on target.

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Salah has a goal celebration involving a witch doctor costume lined up tonight...

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

        And he scores the very next game the curse is over

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

        eh?

    11. matiakez

      3 years, 2 months ago

      Really like Digne as an option but with so many defenders doing well I'm not sure where you'd fit him in.

    12. Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Martinez (Steer)
      Stones, Dier, Shaw (Coufal, KWP)
      Salah, Fernandes, Son, El Ghazi (Stephens)
      Kane, Vardy, Bamford

      1FT, 0.0 in bank

      El Ghazi --> Gundogan with FT?

      1. mwa1t
        • 3 Years

        Definitely
