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.

Double Gameweek 26 so far…

    Richa Goal and Keane Assist would be perfect

      No YC for Digne?

      Iwobi warming up.
      Presumably coming on for DCL who's only just back from injury.

    • Hulk Smash

      Right I'm taking a leaf out of richarlison2348's book.

      What do DCL goals do?

      Anyone still getting ings for all his fixtures ?

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

        If he goes on loan to City.

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

        Hes so disappointing, the fewer fixtures he has the more attractive he is as a pick

      3. MIGHTY JOE

    • tbos83

      All the main cap candidates have flopped (so far)

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Have indeed! Kane the winner so far

      2. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Capping Son has been alright

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        Inevitably Bruno will have the last laugh...

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years

          I don’t know, a lot to make up for

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years

            3 points with the easiest game?

        2. djman102

          I hope so.

    • pablo discobar

      Anyone taking this fantasy season seriously should watch this Everton game. Means nothing. Any pre season articles that reference this seasons stats should be ignored.

      Southampton with most of the play, don't like the look of this

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

        Most of the play, like Brighton. At least Brighton create chances though, even if they don't take them.

    • Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years

      Just watched the Redknapp v Keane debate on Spurs the other day haha classic Keano

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Omg Keano is such a knob. That argument just settled it for me

    • Rashers
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Pickford loves just absolutely hammering the ball to nowhere

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

        Would you have him, Henderson, Pope or other as England keeper?

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Other

        2. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 12 Years

          Hendo, surely.

          1. Utopsis
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Needs to be playing, surely?

        3. Rashers
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Pope for me. As a biased United fan, Henderson in the long run. England not overly blessed in that department at the moment

    • GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Forster should get games now. Not great but no worse than McCarthy.

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        I’m would be quite hard to be no worse than McCarthy

    • Aster
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      My gf captained DCL because he is good looking.

      But what on Earth was I thinking?

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

        You think the same don’t lie

        1. Aster
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          I'm all for Richarlison

      2. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        The same.

      3. GreennRed

          • 6 Years

          I've done lingard myself. Cover for 28 easier than 29

      2. Tcheco
        • 6 Years
