Calvert-Lewin and Allan start as Hasenhüttl benches McCarthy

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.8m) makes a much-anticipated return to the Everton starting line-up as they host Southampton in Double Gameweek 26.

The forward missed each of the Toffees last two matches through injury and featured only as a second-half substitute in the 2-0 win at Liverpool last time out.

Back in the side from the off tonight, Calvert-Lewin comes into Double Gameweek 26 captained by 8.7% of the top 10k.

His last Premier League start produced his third double-digit haul of the campaign in a 3-3 draw against Manchester United, although the forward’s Gameweek 6 trip to Southampton resulted in his first blank of the 2020/21 campaign.

Calvert-Lewin backers will no doubt have half an eye on the Everton midfield tonight considering that James Rodríguez (£7.7m) misses out and remains without a full 90 minute outing in the Premier League since Gameweek 21.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) is tasked with the number 10 role again at Goodison Park although there is still a boost deeper in the midfield with Allan‘s (£5.2m) first league start since Gameweek 13.

Lucas Digne (£6.2m) and Mason Holgate (£4.8m) are either side of Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) and Michael Keane (£5.1m) in the back-four while Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) makes a third successive start.

Meanwhile, Ralph Hasenhüttl has made a brave call for Southampton’s trip north.

Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) misses out on the starting XI for the first time since Gameweek 17 when he was injured for the 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Fraser Forster (£4.0m) comes in for just his second Premier League start of the season, supported by a back-four with Jan Bednarek (£4.9m) at right full-back.

With Oriol Romeu (£4.5m) out for the season with an ankle fracture, winger Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) occupies a central-midfield role alongside James Ward-Prowse (£5.9m).

Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) and Moussa Djenepo (£5.4m) provide the width either side of Danny Ings (£8.4m) and Che Adams (£5.8m).

Double Gameweek 26 line-ups…

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Godfrey, Keane, Holgate; Gomes, Allan, Doucouré; Sigurdsson; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Southampton XI: Forster; Bertrand, Vestergaard, Salisu, Bednarek; Djenepo, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Redmond; Adams, Ings.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years

      Aguero not hit the form yet so....

    2. dogtanion
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I just didn't fancy Welbeck this week

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Aguero is only just back from injury.

    4. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years

      I TC'ed Salah earlier in the season in a DGW. He got outscored by a SGW 4.4 Brighton defender.

    5. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Van the man retired years ago.

    6. Utopsis

      The Drog hung up his boots already

  14. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Keane should be on 34 points already. Robbed

    1. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Would have been very happy with that as an owner

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Pleasantly surprised to see him quite a threat!

  15. @persecuted_by_mods

          That would be magic

        • Egg noodle
          • 14 Years

          Is that an adult movie?

          Of course, I bought him this week

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Siggy stealing his FKs

      3. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Kane TC looking like a major win atm

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Bales says hello.

          1. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Who?

          2. TRIPOS TOPPER
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            is that what you did?

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 28 days ago

            I tc'd him and tbh, it's not like he's pulled away with his score. If he blanks next any one of Bruno DCL and Salah could still outscore him

          • Egg noodle
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Certainly not major

          • acidicleo
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            At HT it's a win for Son TC ers..

          • Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Between 6 and 10 points would be satisfactory, 10+ would be a success especially if Salah/Bruno etc dont't score

        3. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          3 - Richarlison (28)
          2 - Keane (27)
          1 - Sigurdsson, Godfrey (24)

          Pickford (23)
          Digne (21)
          Holgate (18)

          1. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            23rd - DCL (-99)

          2. Ginkapo FPL
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            All set for Digne to take all three with an assist

        4. Catastrophe
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Keane goal incoming

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            DCL

        5. acidicleo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Keane is such a goal threat..

        6. Threat Level Midnight
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Trying to understand why Siggy takes all set pieces? Didn't Digne have a large amount of those responsibilities as well...

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Depends on the angle

          • 11 Years

            I have put my money on Loris

          2. Dreaming of glory
            • 8 Years

            Ederson

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

            Ederson if you want 3 clean sheets

        10. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Why did I try to be different and do DCL. Silly mistake

          1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            DCL cap*

          3. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            He's just a bit more than 1/3 into his gameweek.

        11. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Is the Pele documentary any use?

          1. dogtanion
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            It's ok but nowhere near Maradonna's one

            1. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 28 days ago

              In fairness two class players but Pele's off pitch stuff is a tad boring compared to Diego's who also played in good leagues in more than one country.

          2. Rains of Castamere
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Flopped a bit

          3. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Cheers lads. I'll carry on with Fargo after the match.

        12. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Lol. This triple captain gameweek has been so underwhelming so far..

        13. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          So many chances, DCL has to score!
