Who are the best Everton players to own for FPL Double Gameweek 24?

Everton come under the spotlight as we begin our team-by-team look at the four clubs with two fixtures in Double Gameweek 24.

After a flying start to the season, the Toffees have endured a mixed run of form and face-off against Fulham and Manchester City in Double Gameweek 24.

The 500,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players who have brought Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) into their teams for the double now face an anxious wait after the striker was substituted off with a hamstring injury in their FA Cup clash with Spurs.

With other assets like Richarlison (£7.8m), James Rodriguez (£7.7m) and Lucas Digne (£6.1m) receiving some attention, we are assessing Everton’s FPL credentials using Opta data.

As this article uses a significant amount of information from the Fantasy Football Scout Premium Members Area, only those with a valid subscription can access it in full.

THE FORM

Everton started the season as unlikely title contenders after a series of impressive results.

After scoring 14 goals in their first five Gameweeks, Calvert-Lewin was a fixture in nearly every team, with Rodriguez and Digne also picking up a decent following.

But injuries to key players saw the Toffees drop out of form, with Carlo Ancelotti choosing a more defensive style of play to grind out victories.

However, recent results and a return to form for Calvert-Lewin, who failed to score a single goal from Gameweek 12 to Gameweek 21, have seen a resurgence in Everton ownership.

    Have Gundo and Sterling and think Ill captain Gundo. More likely to start both imo.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Either look good to C imo

      If I had sterling I'd prob go him

    Salah + DCL to Cavani + Rashford -8 to enable bench boost could be unreal

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Could be a complete disaster also

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Well DCL is out and when is there a better time to bench boost when I have a really good bench of

        Martinez Creswell Coufal Bamford

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That seems like it could be a “season over” moment to me!

      Salah up against a Leicester side with no Castagne or Justin... 😉

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I know but I'm in a terrible situation with my bench. I'm forced to find a way to bench boost

        1. Paqueta Rice
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Go with your gut Fudgy

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            My gut tells me to find a way to bench boost I just don't know how to do it with DCL injured and 0itb

        2. Bushwhacker
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Is there any hurry to BB?

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            There is for me yes, I'm going to use my wildcard soon and have a rubbish bench

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

              So BB after WC no?

                • 4 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                BB before WC

      At least you'd have something to moan about, you should go for it.

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Well I'm attacking west brom and Newcastle massively so seems like a good plan

        1. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I didn't criticize it, you just need to be pretty sure of a - 8 and not expect it to pay off in a single week.

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Well DCL is a 0 pointer do it's basically a -6

            1. Snevitz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Only if you already have a non playing bench.

              1. Fudgy
                • 4 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Well the plan would be to bench boost with this bench

                Martinez Creswell Coufal Bamford

      As a MUN fan I still don't trust us enough to batter WBA tbh

      1. Fudgy
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        You united fans are very pessimistic tho 😛

      2. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I don't either ; WBA parking the bus does not suit United.

  5. hogree
    • 6 Years

    Tempted with a bench boost of McCarthy, Targett, Dallas and Bamford. Thoughts?

  6. kennethrhcp

    Need a 4mil sub defender to free up ££

    Kilman best bet?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Struijk is an option.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Didnt even think of him as I was planning 3 leeds but reckon I wont be getting raphina now so I can afford ings

        Thanks for that

    3. Neves say Neves

      I think Kilman is nailed for the near future, he’s been playing great

    GW2: once you've covered most of the already popular assets from the Spurs, Leeds, Villa & West Ham.
    (Kane, Son, Bamford, Dallas, Raphinia, Antonio, Soucek, Coufal, Martinez, Grealish, Watkins)
    What the point in spending hits or more FTs on filler just to get to 11? Especially when very few have an FT left so you won't be competing with many full XIs anyway. Only to then WC them out again?

    Seems a very myopic focus.

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That's an easy 10 players and I don't think you even need to WC afterwards.

    2. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What else would you use your FTs for ahead of a WC?

      1. Sif
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Making my team the strongest possible over a period not just for one GW.
        Like removing Justin when he has Brighton 27 then Sheffield 28. I don't see the point just to get a random player I don't want in even If I do have WC left.

        1. lifes a pitch
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I agree. It rarely works out anyway.

        2. Utopsis
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Ah no I completely agree with you on the Justin example (pre-injury of course), but in other instances taking the risk of moving a stable player on for 1/2 GWs to really attack certain fixtures can pay off big. Particularly if you don't have too much value tied up in them

  9. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If it looks likely that DCL won’t start against Fulham, doing DCL>Cavani and Cavani>Kane for gw 26 looks veeeery nice

    1. dogtanion
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted.. might even go straight to Kane

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can you afford to skip the middle step?

      Just get kane? Use fts elsewhere?

      1. Neves say Neves
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I can afford DCL >Kane but I don’t really fancy Spurs against city or West Ham while Cavani’s fixtures are great for the next 2 games. Do you think it’s a better move to just do DCL > Kane

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think Cavani starts both PL games with Europa League game either side?

  10. Robman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Advice on this team please anyone?

    De Gea
    Macguire Cancelo Mee Cresswell
    Sterling Fernandes Salah Soucek Gundoyan
    Antonio

    To get to this team, I need to sell Dias for Mee, and Son out for Sterling.
    I have 2FTs, so no hit required.
    Still in Cup and would like to keep winning

    1. dogtanion
      • 14 Years

      Absolutely. Sterling (c)

  11. sully29

    Would you play Grealish (bha) or Bamford (ars)?

      What player has more assists than any other in the PL this season?

        Riddle me this

      2. Snevitz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        What Leeds striker has more points this season than the player with more assists than any other in the PL this season?

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I had that decision until Antonio appeared to be injured.
      I had Grealish on the bench but now it's Antonio as I'm worried that even if he starts he'll pull up injured.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford

    4. waldo666

      Bamford

  12. VaVaVoom14

    When is the best time to play free hit now and why?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      I don't think the date has been set yet . . .

    Hi....which plan sounds better please?

    A

    24.....chilwell and dcl  to lowton and ings for free

    25....soucek and antonio to raphinha and Bamford  - 4

    26.....hopefully just enough for Bamford to kane (TC)

    B

    24...Chilwell and dcl to lowton and bamford

    25.....soucek to raphinha

    26.....antonio to kane

    Option A gives me ings as an extra dgw player but I'll have to rake a hit...thanks

    Pope (Martinez)
    Cancelo dias chilwell coufal dallas

    Jesus had one of his best games against Swansea- I could get him for Antonio on a free- worth considering and even captaining as big differential? Could get Sterling for Salah but getting Jesus for the double (particularly if Antonio not fit to start) then easy move to Kane for week 26

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

      Doesn't start every game, good chance he misses one of the double. Also rarely gets more than one goal, not sure he's worth the price as good a player as he is.

    There is a big merit to saving your WC for GW30 if you can field a strong XI with a TC In 26 using FT's.
    5-6 DGW fixtures will be played aftee GW30 and there is a good fixture swing.

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years

      Thanks for input mate

    2. Cathal Cantona
      • 14 Years

      Interesting.. Who do the fixtures swing for and against?

  17. George Agdgdgwngo
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    With the villa (liv and city) and Leeds (city, liv, Man U) fixtures after gw 29 there’s no way I want to be left with a squad full of these players.

    No doubt FH is the way to go.

  18. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Tempted by Salah, DCL to Sterling, Ings

    1. Londongeezaa
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah is up against a depleted Leicester defence.

  19. ElliotJHP
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What's the better move?

    A) Johnstone -> Areola, play Areola over Martinez
    B) Coufal -> Tark, play Tark over Grealish/Wood
    C) Neither and burn a FT into the abyss

  20. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I don't think I'd ever question this ever again & it might sound ridiculous but play either Coufal/Soucek ahead of Son?

    Think I'm currently on this;

    Pope
    Dias - Cancelo - Digne - Coufal
    Salah - Fernandes - Gundogan
    Cavani - Bamford - Antonio

    (Martinez - Son - Soucek - Dallas)
