Digne fit to start but King only among the subs despite Calvert-Lewin absence

Two sides with a pair of fixtures in Double Gameweek 24 meet on Merseyside this evening.

Fulham are Everton’s visitors, with kick-off at Goodison Park at 19:00 GMT.

The hosts are missing Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) and Jordan Pickford (£4.8m), both of whom were ruled out by Carlo Ancelotti on Friday – but the duo could be back for the visit of Manchester City in midweek.

Another Everton asset who was carrying a flag in Fantasy Premier League, Lucas Digne (£6.1m), makes the starting XI tonight.

Ancelotti has made two changes from the Toffees’ previous Premier League outing, with Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) and Seamus Coleman (£4.8m) recalled.

Michael Keane (£5.1m) and Calvert-Lewin are the men to make way.

Despite Calvert-Lewin’s absence, new singing Joshua King (£5.5m) is only among the substitutes.

As for Fulham, deadline day signing Josh Maja (£5.5m) makes his full debut and takes the place of Ivan Cavaleiro (£5.3m).

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.5m) misses out after testing positive for COVID-19.

Ola Aina (£4.5m) for Antonee Robinson (£4.4m) is the only other change that Scott Parker has made from the Gameweek 23 draw against West Ham United.

Calvert-Lewin featured in the top three for both FPL transfers in and out in Gameweek 24, with those Fantasy managers making an early move to recruit the England international left short-changed by the forward picking up an injury in the EFL Cup in midweek.

Richarlison (£7.9m) picked up some of the slack, with 347,604 Fantasy bosses making the move for the Brazilian.


Everton XI: Olsen, Coleman, Holgate, Godfrey, Digne, Doucoure, Andre Gomes, Rodriguez, Davies, Sigurdsson, Richarlison.

Fulham XI: Areola, Tete, Andersen, Adarabioyo, Aina, Reed, Lemina, Reid, Loftus-Cheek, Lookman, Maja.

    Fulham can't shoot an effort on target

    Is Siggy playing as a false 9 ?

    1. Neo-Viper
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      False footballer

    Justin and Souchek for Dunk and Raphinha for a hit.

    Martínez
    Dias AWB Stones Mee
    Bruno Salah Gundo Son
    Bamford Antonio

    Johnstone Souchek DCL Justin

      Go!

    2. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      just get Raphinha for Soucek
      The other is not worth a hit, especially as you'll be unlikely to play Dunk.
      Come to think of it, who will you drop for Raphinha?

  4. GROBARI

    Mitro has covid. Fast recovery my man!

    1. Aster
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Your man?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He is Patrizan fan

      2. RedGunPowder

        Omen est nomen

  5. Dosh
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Foden --> Raphinha?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for Gundo news

  6. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Really hope Gundo can be fit for Everton though it looks unlikely. If Fulham can dominate them...

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundo unlikely according to who?

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Never touch Everton without dcl

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Eh?

      He’s missed one game which Everton won 1-2 away at Wolves.

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

    Decordova Reid to Lookman now misses again, come on man!

  9. FPLShaqiri
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What's the situation with Antonio? Likely to start? I have Dallas first on the bench...

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I believe he is fine. Probably not fit to start/play '90 but I am confident he will feature tomorrow

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bench is possible too.

  10. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Could this pay off??

    Foden > Raphinha ft
    Watkins > Ings -4
    Mitchell > Stones/Cancelo -8

    1. Aster
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of Watkins to Ings move.

      Southampton looking terribble.

  11. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    RMGW25WCGW26BB team

    Martinez - McCarthy
    Dias - Stones - Shaw - Dier - Holgate
    Bruno - Son - Grealish - Gundogan - J Rod
    Kane - Ings - Watkins

    Will have Bamford and Raphinha in place of Watkins and J Rod for DGW 25 and switch them out for a hit in 26.

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Looks good

        Cheers

    2. Life_Ban

      Salah may make you cry...

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Eh he may or may not he has to BB he can’t have everyone

      2. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lied happily without him for him barren 6 game spell

        Enough firepower elsewhere in that team to compensate imo

        1. Life_Ban
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Mohamed Salah

          @MoSalah

          ·

          4h

          It’s been a tough period for many reasons. We are champions and we will fight like champions, until the very end. We will not allow this season to be defined by the recent results we’ve had. That is my promise to all of you.

    3. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jrod Dier McCarthy and maybe even Holgate are bad options
      imo bro otherwise I’ll be going for something similar

      They are all rotation risks now

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can’t find anyone better for that price tbh

        Who are you thinking of instead?

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

      Targett over Dire

  12. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Holgate looks clueless. Fulham running circles around him.

    1. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t say that about my BB enabler

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        He's doing great!

  13. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Exciting game by the sounds of things then

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Super exciting

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

    Into the top 6k with tonio, 3 city and pope left.

    Raphi has been a godsend for me flying up the ranks. Ultimate differential. Can see a alot of transfers in for him next week

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Fulham are a talented team without a decent finisher.

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Reminds me of Brighton

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

    Bench boost fail if Antonio is out for sure, ah well. Had a good one last year tbh so was expected

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Relentless.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cleaner

  17. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Leicester defence worth it on WC? Or too expensive? Fixtures are good.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I am in

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't recommend one. But then again I have Digne. What do I know.

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

      Amartey will be perfect

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Chances he starts both DGW26 fixtures for BB? Can be fodder after that.

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

          Need to monitor Castagne.

    4. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Who tho

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

      Really want Pereira, will have to settle for the Soy boy.

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

      Would love to but I’m targeting targett

    7. Fantasydreamer
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I like the fixtures - tempted to jump on pereira

  18. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Patients my nipple

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

    When is is likely that GW26 doubles will be confirmed?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Around Thursday me thinks

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

      Tomorrow I reckon

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

        Sounds like there’s likely to be plenty of time to sort out a GW25 WC before knowing the GW26 doubles.

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I have Ings Bamford Raphinha and Dallas. Save the WC and not use it in GW25?

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

      Think that’s right unless you want to get ahead and get Kane/ings

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

      I mean definitely not lol
