Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison in three-man Everton attack

Owners of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.7m) will be hoping he plays through the middle of Everton’s attack against Burnley this afternoon.

The Fantasy Premier League forward has been pushed a little wider in recent matches to get the best out of Richarlison (£8.0m), who has four goals in his last five league outings.

Carlo Ancelotti has typically deployed Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) behind the pair during that period but his recent ankle injury means the Icelandic international is fit enough only for the bench.

Tom Davies (£5.2m) is his replacement, but Abdoulaye Doucouré‘s (£5.2m) injury leaves Everton short in the middle of the park, so we may see him there alongside André Gomes (£5.3m) and Allan (£5.2m).

With James Rodríguez (£7.7m) still on the sidelines, it is up to Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) to supplement the attack, possibly from the right flank of a front-three.

If that is the setup Ancelotti has selected to face Burnley, then Calvert-Lewin is more suited to leading it in the middle than Richarlison, who had some joy on the left-hand side earlier in the season.

As usual, Burnley are in 4-4-2 formation with Matej Vydra (£4.8m) joining Chris Wood (£6.2m) in attack.

Dwight McNeil (£5.7m) and Johann Berg Gudmundsson (£5.4m) provide the width today while Erik Pieters (£4.3m) comes in for Charlie Taylor (£4.4m) who misses out with a hamstring problem.

Gameweek 28 Line-ups

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Digne, Godfrey, Keane, Holgate; T Davies, Allan, Gomes; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Iwobi.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson; Wood, Vydra.

Gameweek 28 so far…

Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) had an immediate impact in his first start since Gameweek 22.

He won the first-half penalty that provided Crystal Palace with a 1-0 victory, forcing a handball from Darnell Furlong (£4.5m).

Harking back to the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons, it was Luka Milivojevic (£5.6m) who dispatched the spot kick.

Owners of Chelsea defenders will have been satisfied with yet another toothless display from West Bromwich Albion.

They had just one shot on target on Saturday afternoon while chief creator Matheus Pereira (£5.4m) was substituted in the 63rd minute.

Provisional bonus points

  • 3 – Luka Milivojevic

    Finally, after 4 continuous weeks of Ings to DCL and back forth, one finally pays off!

        3 years, 1 month ago

        FH, only have 6 players and 2 of them are Bamford and Elmo

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

          I’ve got 9 inc Bam, going to hold FH for 33, and just role with it as there’s not many options.

          1. SEXY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

      You consider that a pay off for DCL?

      1. SEXY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        6 more than Ings will get so yes!

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

        I managed to play Bamford and then put Raphinha on my bench ahead of Dallas - all the wrong way around!

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

          Hahaha, yeah same! I played Bam and Dallas 3rd on bench.

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

          I TC KDB last week
          This week I thought he’d be rested so went highly differential

  6. fedolefan

    Lol Virginia going straight for the Pope.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Historically it used to be the other way around....

  7. jimmyharte
    • 6 Years

    Digne set pieces have been putrid.

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

    What i find extremely surprising is people's selections, captain picks then stated ranks when the roll call comes!

    I know it's a lot of people but most are core posters.

  9. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ahhh. Andy captained KDB. He won’t be featuring today.

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years

      Salah vice. Wow, incredible Salah haul incoming

      1. The 12th Man

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Cancelo and Stones, no Gundo now. Oh well. Hope he comes on and scores

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Gundog has 95% EO anyway, so it's more about who comes off your bench if he does play

  12. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Fair play to Burnley but Everton have been awful.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Without James's creativity & flair they just a medicare mid table outfit.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        *mediocre.

        1. JohnnyRev7
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I think medicare sounded better.

  13. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Lookman or Lingard or Saka?

    Cresswell or Bellerin?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lingard and Cresswell

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Depends what you think the result will be. Personally I think Arsenal might beat West Ham. But it could be 2-1. So I will avoiding the West Ham and Arsenal defence for gw29. (on subs though as I will have them in a FH_

  14. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If KDB and or Gundogan get 30 mins against tired legs I will take it. As long as it is not one of those 5 min/10 min cameos.

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

      Normally (I know Pep is abnormal), they will either have 20+ or 0 minutes playing time if starting on bench.

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Damn yeah probably right 20 plus mins each.

  15. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Agueerooo

  16. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    This is the confirmation I needed to get City out of my team. Geez.

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes gundo for Raphinha looks tasty

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Have Sterling and Gundo. Hope you've made better decisions than me 🙂

  17. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Everton doing their best impression of Everton to avoid Champions League football next season.

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

      Same can be said about there neighbours 😉

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hard to say if Carlo has taken them much forward at all

      6th by default given failing Liverpool and Arsenal (and Spurs perhaps)? If James is so crucial what real difference has he made?

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

    So we shall have the pleasure of watching burnley for another season

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They played pretty impressive footy today

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

        Looked good a number of times I’ve watched them, points don’t lie

  19. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Where are the Everton is top 4 people?

    How about the Leicester is the best team outside city takes?

    Nobody?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On the xPTS table Everton are 12th, Brighton 5th! https://understat.com/league/EPL

  20. FantasyTony
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Everton are just pound shop United.

    They never capitalise on other teams dropping points.

  21. Sterling Malory
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Time to get rid of Digne?

    Digne/Barnes > Auba/4.4m (Veltman?) - 4?

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

      For sure, I’ve already sold the absolute trash can

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DGW on the horizon is what is making me keep him.

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

        For a whopping 2 points?

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years

        Good player in an average side.

  22. Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    To be honest i would like Fulham to win....but i have Dias and Stons...

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

      Weird logic

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

      First, I like Fulham to score. If they win, don't mind.

  23. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Everton are toilet

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

      Can I pee on them?

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Feel free

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

    Hopefully we'll be seeing some Agueroooooo

  25. Jindaljain
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    That Bald should be punished by Fulham

  26. Greek Shamrocks
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy (C) might work out.

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

    Wish it was Dallas first sub over Raph for me now.

    Sterling owners lucky, guaranteed autosub

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Autosub is Soucek

  28. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is anyone else having a shocker of a GW?! Only saving grace for me is my rival in biggest money league has Stering (c) and Siggy (vc)

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      My highest scorer so far is Mendy in goal.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep - Martinez concedes 94th min goal. Got Digne, Gundo (bench) and KDB (bench).

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

    KDB (C) here. Main ML rival has Gundo (C). Let the games begin.

  30. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A shame no bps but happy to get the captaincy out the way and i’d rather have a striker who gets lots of chance than one who scores his only one. Will welcome DCL back to my 11 against Palace wk30.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      vs. Palace and Villa in a DGW hopefully...

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd go defence against Palace in this mode - not attack
