Calvert-Lewin absent as injury-hit Everton take on unchanged Brighton

There may be a few more Stuart Dallas (£5.1m) auto-substitutions being processed in Fantasy Premier League this evening, thanks to a bit of unexpected team news in the final match of Gameweek 31.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m), owned by over one-third of all FPL managers, is absent from the Everton squad for the 20:15 kick-off, with an abductor problem the reason for his unavailability.

Carlo Ancelotti said ahead of tonight’s game against Brighton and Hove Albion:

In the last training session, Dom had a little problem on his abductor. He came here but this morning he was not comfortable so I prefer to leave him out. It’s the same with Allan and Andre Gomes – they are not 100%. I hope they will be available for the next game.

The Everton boss’s two alterations to his team are enforced, with Calvert-Lewin and Andre Gomes (£5.3m) both absent through injury.

Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) come into the side, with the Toffees including six recognised defenders in their line-up.

Jordan Pickford (£4.8m) and Allan (£5.2m) are still absent.

Earlier in the day, Everton confirmed that Jean-Phillipe Gbamin (£5.0m) is set for assessment on a fresh knee injury that he picked up in training.

Hosts Brighton are unchanged for the third game in a row despite losing at Manchester United last weekend.

Adam Webster (£4.3m) and Dan Burn (£4.2m) are both back from injury and are on the bench at the Amex.


Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Sanchez, White, Dunk, Veltman, Gross, Bissouma, Lallana, Trossard, Moder, Welbeck, Maupay.

Everton XI: Olsen, Coleman, Holgate, Keane, Mina, Digne, James Rodriguez, Godfrey, Davies, Sigurdsson, Richarlison.

      You have to spread the money for BB and be ready when he starts blocking tactics. If he is clever and has no other priorities than beating you, it's not gonna be easy.

      Your bench is not worth boosting. What is your plan?

      1. Oggle22
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure what my plan is probably hope captain picks get me some points back on him maybe a Salah hatty two weeks in a row as captain haha

  3. Rainer

    Richarlison Dunked.

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Dunk yc

  5. Kane and Ablett
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Still looking at those Watkins and Dallas points on my bench red arrow imminent .....so should I be benching Dallas or Lacazette with Watkins this week?

    BB this next week? Thinking no as Forster may be dropped, Holding and Phillips will probably come in for rotated Chelsea defenders (Azpi and Rudiger) and Vardy will probs just get injured in the FA Cup which is post deadline, but before their league match.

    Forster (tot)
    Vardy (WBA)
    Holding (FUL)
    Phillips (lee)

    These CSs are gonna stick, aren’t they ....

    1. Fintroy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      One of them will at least - there defo ain't two goals in this game - just imagine supporting Brighton and having to watch them every week 🙁

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        better than being a glory fan and supporting one of the manchester club few hundred miles up the road I suppose 😉

      2. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Gotta be frustrating!

  9. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Mina down and out

  10. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    After one of my rare early transfers, already on a -4 after doing Raphinha+DCL -> Lingard+Vardy.
    Worth it to do Wood -> Nacho for an additional -4 or wait till next week?

  11. FantasyHero
    • 7 Years

    What a disaster week. That 10k rang looks further and further away 🙁

  12. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years

    thank u

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I need a goal from Everton

    Not gonna happen?

  14. the vanisher
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    OR 100k and chasing ML, best punt for the next gameweeks to replace Pedro Neto?

    A. Traore
    B. Bowen

    Thanks

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bowen & Lingz playing well together

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bowen plays for the better team right now, and they have something to play for. Just make sure Antonio is definitely definitely out again.

  15. Pep Roulette

    Dunk on 2 bonus inspite of getting YC!

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      On 3 atm.

  16. Silecro
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Dunk and Digne owner here. Does a goal hang in the air or is it borefest with legit 0-0 chance?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Brighton could nick it

  17. BRFC
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Cavani a decent pick for the rest of the season?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I suspect as United make CL place safer he'll play Cavani more in the Europa League - don't think he's got the legs to place twice a week

    2. Blonde Faith
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yes. Looked good vs Spurs and with Martial out, should be a starter.

  18. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Can you imagine that a player in this game is going to score the same number of bonus points as Lingard or Dallas.

    Some games should just award none....

  19. Blonde Faith
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    My WC plans are all to hell due to Wolves injuries. Neto out is the last of 3 I was bringing in. They have the easiest run in by far, is anyone here still convinced they can make something of it?

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Moder could be one for next season.

    Loves a shot, at LWB, maybe 4.5m...

    Hi all, I missed the end of the Leeds match. Was Raphinha injury just a knock or did it look more serious?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Knock. He was on the pitch at the end celebrating.

      Bielsa will say if he’s playing or not too, he’s great for FPL.

  22. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bissouma is everywhere

  23. Old Bull
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Has anyone seen it?

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No, I haven't

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, hate clowns ever since.

    3. Old Bull
      • 10 Years

      I’ve lost it

    4. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      De Ligt?

    5. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      My will to live waiting for Richarlison to do something

  24. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Cmon Keane grab a header

  25. JBG
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Neto or Gundo to:

    A) Traore
    B) Lucas Moura
    C) Bench both and do DCL to Cavani

    All options are for -4(rage transferred Cresswell out).

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Neto sounds like he's done for the season. Would prob do Neto to Moura.

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks

  26. Duke Silver ☑

    The quality in the final third is woeful.

  27. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Would everyone prefer to Have Bruno or Jota this week?

    Have Salah,Bruno higher ownership and Leeds looking a tad better defensively so leaning toward Bruno?

    Thanks.

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bruno imo.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Bruno

  28. Hangman Page
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    James playing for Everton with these teammates is like making a Michelin starred chef work at McDonalds.

  29. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bisouma is quality player

    1. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Totally agree he’s a fantastic centre mid. I like Godfrey for Everton too.

  30. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Which one would you rather do:
    A) Gundo ➡ Lingard
    B) DCL ➡ Lacazette
    C) both for -4
    ..?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
