Calvert-Lewin returns as Arsenal face Everton without key personnel

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.5m) is back in the Everton line-up following his recent injury.

Facing Arsenal tonight, the mid-price Fantasy Premier League forward makes his first start since the Gameweek 30 draw with Crystal Palace.

The England international is joined in Everton’s attack by Richarlison (£7.8m) who has not directly involved himself in his team’s goals since a four-match scoring streak between Gameweeks 24 and 26.

James Rodríguez (£7.7m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) have been in better form and start again tonight.

The Colombian international has a goal and assist in the last four while former Reading midfielder Sigurdsson netted twice in the 2-2 draw with Spurs.

Michael Keane (£5.1m) is missing from defence tonight, making for a centre-back pairing of Ben Godfrey (£5.0m) and Mason Holgate (£4.8m) while Lucas Digne (£6.1m) and Seamus Coleman (£4.8m) staff the flanks of defence.

In the absence of Kieran Tierney (£5.2m), Granit Xhaka (£5.2m) appears to be at left-back for Arsenal tonight, despite a place on the bench for Cédric (£4.6m).

On the other side of Rob Holding (£4.2m) and Pablo Marí (£4.4m), Calum Chambers (£4.5m) returns to the side at right-back.

Dani Ceballos (£4.7m) and Thomas Partey (£4.9m) are in the holding midfield roles tonight with an attacking-midfield trio of Bukayo Saka (£5.1m), Emile Smith Rowe (£4.2m) and Nicolas Pépé (£7.6m) in support of Eddie Nketiah (£5.3m).

Blank Gameweek 33 Line-ups

    Emi Martinez must be laughing. Sold him instead of Leno!

    Can we get an update on Holdings BAPs...

      Lol.

      Just need Everton to concede and he's right back in them.

    3. The Suspended One

      He’s on 16!!

  3. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 days ago

    That's Leno dropped for next game

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 days ago

      That's unforgivable goalkeeping. Players can make mistakes, but that was on another level of inept.

    Love the look on DCLs face of "how on Earth did you not pass to me . . .wait, you're going to celebrate that???"

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 days ago

      Hahah yeah. Richarlison stared at him for like 1h and still hit a horrible cross.

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 days ago

        And then did the samba.

  5. The Suspended One

    • 11 Years

    And to think.. they ditched Emi for that...

    That is perfect, literally perfect in my ML ... no DCL involvement ... Leno OG and CS wiped for Holding .... what a start ...

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years

    Mat Ryan has gone from Brighton outcast to Arsenal #1. Falling upwards! (Well, maybe sidewards.)

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 days ago

      Sideways

      Potter will be reunited with him soon

      1. Hazz

    No words Leno and Holding owner nice one

  14. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years

    So painful seeing Leno howlers when Martinez has been the best keeper in the league this season.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Wonderful*

    Leno > Meslier?

    1. FantasyTony
      • 6 Years

      Don't think arsenal could afford him.

  16. wulfrunian

    It was too good to be true.

  17. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 days ago

    Kroenke's tactics tonight have been woefully inadequate

  18. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 days ago

    Digne to Castagne for -4 is going swimmingly so far

  19. WVA

    3 years, 7 days ago

    I stopped playing FPL last week after my WC because of how scarily unlucky I have been this season, guess who's in my goal for the first time this season, coming in for Lloris, absolutely incredible really but genuinely becoming quite freaked out by it.

      It’s mainly a game of luck anyways! I’m bored with it all tbh

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

        How is it possible not to get any good luck in 33 game weeks though!?

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 days ago

      You got the keeper who plays for a team with one cs in ten?

      Forget luck and the OG

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 days ago

        It's a fair point

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 days ago

        He's my second keeper specifically for this week and BB next week, it's the only game week I've ever played him, he was on for a fairly comfortable clean sheet until that freak own goal, that is definitely bad luck on my part, chances of that happening the first time I've ever played him are ridiculous

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 days ago

    That goal is a thing of beauty. My direct rival has Leno .

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Must be nice.. I’m not in any beginners leagues myself

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)

        I'm far from a beginner if you want to rank check.

      You got Leno?

  25. Digital-Real

    XG for Everton must be 0.01

  26. JBG
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 days ago

    Are Everton allergic to counter attacking? Seriously... They just keep the ball in their own half when they can push forward and just punt it wherever they can.

      First rule of football.. don’t lose.

  27. Deulofail

    I sold Digne and Richarlison a few hours ago. They were a large part of the reason to WC. Fart noise

      The timing of these swings is uncanny isn’t it? It can’t be a coincidence as it happens to so many of us.

      Selling Pereira the week of his 20+ pointer vs Chelsea made me puke

        Story of my first WC

    3. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years

      Decided to keep Richarlison for a depleted Arsenal squad.

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 days ago

      Surely Everton players were good holds considering the fact they had great fixtures, doubled in 35 and don't blank in 36?

  28. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 days ago

    So many arsenal big six jokes yet when was the last time a non big six club even made it to european semis

  29. No Professionals

    Interesting performance from Rodriguez. And by interesting I mean embarrassing.

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I heard he’s a wonder kid

      1. No Professionals

        Generational flop

    2. Rainer

      Generous for James, James Rodriguez.

  30. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hard to take watching Leno as Martinez goes for the golden glove and will no doubt break the record for most FPL points for a goalkeeper in a season

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 days ago

      Was always going to end in tears

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Even for Arsenal, it looks an even worse transfer every passing week.

        That’s saying quite a bit 😡
