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.

      Very unlucky Fudgy

      You are also very unlucky you didn’t bring Auba in too

      People on here giving you bad advice again

      1. Fudgy

        I know and now I've wasted my bench boost and everyone else will haul off it gw26 with Maja on the bench

        Harsh.....but true

      So unfortunate

      Lookman do something

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas

        Preach.

    • Rash
      • 6 Years

      James done

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

      Really need to produce more yellow cards for everyone trying to leave a mark on Rodriguez. Getting out of control, the lad has niggles every week over it

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Jack Grealish is the most fouled player in the league apparently.

        1. Reeker

          Having fancy hair and being good at football gets players gunning for you

      Save a penalty Areola.

      Or save something

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years

        Content with a CS for now

        How can he?

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

      If gundo is fit he is going to eat this Everton side and Citee will romp in 5-0

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Hope so. Would love a Cancelo G too

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

          A Dias goal too would top it off 😉

    • SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Do we reckon Dias plays vs Everton, ML Rival has Dallas (-1) 1st sub whilst I have Targett (6)

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

        Surely he plays

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

        100% imo.

    • AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rodriguez doesn't fancy the English winter anymore.

      Last year with global warming we had hardly any snow!!

    • Rash
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If Fulham manage to stay up then parker surely manager of the season?

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

        They won’t stay up

        But yes if any of Fulham West Brom or Sheff Utd stay up their manager should be knighted

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

          W.B.A can't drop they have big Sam

        2. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Arise, Sir Scott Parker!

      2. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They could stay up, I can't see newcastle getting any more points.

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Bielsa

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

          Too much to do. They will get within a few points but alas it’s to bigger gap.

      4. JJO
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ofcourse you will lose when you play Gomes,Siggy and James at the same time

      5. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        DCL looking less good after Hames injury.

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

        My defensive picks have been terrible this season. Ferguson, Dier and Digne.
        No WHM, sold Justin early.

      7. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Bamford and Dallas enough for DGW25?

        Want to hold my WC for later and if I bring in Ralphina that means one less DGW26 player

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

          I've those 2 and gonna add ings just I'd say

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I’d get raphinha and take a -4

        3. Giles G
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I'm thinking just these 2. have you still got BB?

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah BB26. Depending on fixtures, but could be 13DGW +Bamford + Dallas

            1. Giles G
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              What is your WC midfield out of interest?

              1. Giles G
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                ignore that

              2. Dirty Harry
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Well I'm playing to WC around 30/31.

                GW26 BB midfield would be

                Salah Bruno Grealish Gundo Barnes
                Kane Bamford DCL

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

          I’ve got those plus either Ings or Raphinha. Most likely anotonio to Ings.

          1. Dirty Harry
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Mmm I was thinking Ings also, but was thinking going straight to Kane.

            Maybe I just need to take a single -4 in 26

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

              Will probably do Kane in for -4 in 26. Thats if I don’t wc this week. Waiting for schedule before deciding.

              1. Dirty Harry
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Really want to hold the WC till after 29. I think it could be a lot better to get through 26 and still have it

                1. Salah’s Sonnet
                  • 12 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  And miss all those lovely pick of the bunch DGW 26’ers?

        5. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Bamford and Raphinha

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

        Raging out Digne for Dallas. Might do that then go back to concentrating on Valentines Day.

      9. Sgt Frank Drebin
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Is Fulham playing so well or Everton so bad?

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

          Both

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

          Both. Fulham were impressive vs. WHM too. Everton are just bad.

        3. Says
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          yes

        4. Rash
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Fulham played well for a while now imo just haven't had the points to show for it.

      10. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Digne and DCL out of my team

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

          You know DCL isn’t playing today.... don’t blame this on him

        2. Gunners in Haaland
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You are probably right

      11. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Maja could be the perfect 8th attacker on wildcard!

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Does he have a double in 26?

      12. Pachi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        When double week fixtures will be announced? I want to wc gw25 and bench boost gw26.. should i activate now?

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

          If you're sure you're wild carding yes

          Fixtures hopefully out before weekend but no one knows for sure

        2. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Should be announced this week but need to see

      13. Steinburg FC
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Why no Antonee Robison?

      14. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Antonio to Ings? 2FT 4.4 ITB... means benching Watkins(LEI)

        Areola / Martinez
        Cancelo Dallas Mee*
        Salah Bruno Son Gundogan Raphinha
        Bamford(c) Watkins
        —————————————
        Antonio Digne Stones

        Also can’t decide on Martinez v Areola this week (will be rid of Areola soon to avoid the headache)

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

          Yes imo. Doing same transfer

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers all, looks to be the move yeah ... can probably either bank other FT or even use it to drop Areola

        2. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Always play Martinez

          **Long suffering non-owner

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

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

          Why Ings?

          Playing Chelsea and Leeds. Also, Southampton falling apart.

      15. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Awful from Everton

          Was he in Sunderland til I die actually? If so I'm getting him in!

          1. Pukki Party
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Relegation season i think. Also looks like he is still alive and not playing for Sunderland so not sure i'd trust him.
