Calvert-Lewin on Everton penalties – but Ings stays second in line at Villa

There was more to Leeds United v Everton and Aston Villa v Newcastle United than two spot-kicks but from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective, it was the main talking point from the Gameweek 2 matches at Elland Road and Villa Park.

FPL points predictions for Gameweek 3 and beyond 3

ASTON VILLA 2-0 NEWCASTLE UNITED

  • Goals: Danny Ings (£8.1m), Anwar El Ghazi (£6.0m)
  • Assists: Tyrone Mings (£5.0m) x2
  • Bonus: Mings x3, Ings x2, El Ghazi x1

INGS CLINICAL – BUT SECOND IN LINE ON PENS

Danny Ings (£8.1m) shot to the top of the FPL forwards’ points table with a goal in Aston Villa’s 2-0 win over Newcastle United.

The lack of chances created for the England international is a bit of a concern, as the Villa striker ranks only joint-14th for goal attempts among players in his position this season (see the below table from our Premium Members Area).

But being clinical with relatively few opportunities comes second nature to the former Southampton man, who is the only current FPL forward whose shot-to-goal conversion rate was in excess of 20% in each of the previous two Premier League campaigns.

That killer instinct also helps on the Bonus Points System, with fewer baseline bonus points deducted for shots off target.

With the injured Ollie Watkins (£7.4m) and Leon Bailey (£6.5m) still to come back into the side, and Emiliano Buendia (£6.5m) yet to hit his best form, the hope is also that the rate of chance creation will increase so that Ings can marry his ruthless streak with more shots at goal.

Bailey and Watkins’ eventual inclusion in the Villa starting XI may also be good news for Ings with regards to penalty-taking duties.

Anwar El Ghazi (£6.0m) was confirmed as Villa’s first-choice penalty taker on Saturday, stepping up from 12 yards with Ings on the pitch.

But El Ghazi’s place in the team is surely at risk in the medium term when Dean Smith has a full squad at his disposal.

The major downside for Ings is fixtures, with Villa sitting bottom of our Season Ticker from Gameweeks 4-10 and the September international break likely to be a jumping off point for many of us.

The forward did score five goals in 12 meetings with these sides last season, however.

DEFENCES FAIL TO CONVINCE

Despite the clean sheet, Villa’s backline will likely be off the menu due to the aforementioned fixture run and some unconvincing defending in Gameweeks 1 and 2.

Callum Wilson (£7.5m) wasted a one-on-one chance in a dominant opening 30 minutes for the visitors, with the Newcastle striker also being denied a penalty due to a tight offside call.

Tyrone Mings (£5.0m) is someone who could continue to prosper at the other end of the pitch, however: he was involved in both Villa goals, and the appointment of a set-piece coach in the summer should only add to his threat from free-kicks, corners and even throw-ins.

“I brought a set piece coach in in the summer and he’ll be taking plenty of kudos for that goal as well. It was a great finish from Danny Ings and a set-piece routine we have actually worked on in pre-season. Matt Cash has got a long throw and why not utilise it?” – Dean Smith

Matt Targett (£5.0m) looks like a ‘sell’, meanwhile, with Ashley Young (£5.0m) displacing him at left-back.

As for Newcastle’s ropey backline, they are joint-bottom for big chances conceded this season. A first-half knee injury to Isaac Hayden (£4.5m) will, barring further recruitment, make their 3-5-2 set-up look even more open when Southampton visit Tyneside in Gameweek 3.

It’s a pity that they aren’t tighter at the back, as Matt Ritchie (£5.0m) sits second behind only Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m) for chances created this season.

Still, that more attacking mindset has helped elevate Wilson to fourth in the FPL forwards’ table for shots on goal.


Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Mings, Konsa, Young, Ramsey, Luiz (Tuanzebe 88), McGinn, Buendia (Philogene-Bidace 86), Ings (Wesley 91), El Ghazi.

Newcastle XI: Woodman; Fernandes (Joelinton 78), Lascelles, Schar, Murphy, Willock (Fraser 90), Hayden (S Longstaff 45), Almiron, Ritchie, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.

LEEDS UNITED 2-2 EVERTON

  • Goals: Mateusz Klich (£5.5m), Raphinha (£6.5m) | Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.1m), Demarai Gray (£5.5m)
  • Assists: Patrick Bamford (£8.0m), Liam Cooper (£4.5m) | Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.5m)
  • Bonus: Klich x3, Gray x2, Calvert-Lewin x1

CALVERT-LEWIN ON PENALTIES

As if being front and centre of Everton’s attacking play under Rafael Benitez wasn’t enough, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.1m) now seemingly has penalty-taking responsibilities in his locker.

‘Get the ball to Calvert-Lewin’ seems to be the Toffees’ mantra and the England striker has had more shots in the box (nine) and efforts on target (six) than any FPL asset this season, adding another four of each of those on Saturday.

He is top for expected goal involvement (xGI) among Premier League players in 2021/22, too, despite not being fully match sharp.

“He’s had a problem with his toe. He has not been doing full training sessions in the last 10 days. You can see the quality he has but he is missing a little bit of the stamina to finish the games in the way he wants to finish them.” – Rafael Benitez on Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Calvert-Lewin was the man to step up from 12 yards on Saturday in the continued absence of Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.9m), having been fouled himself for Everton’s first-half penalty.

“It’s something I’ve wanted for a while [becoming Everton’s penalty-taker]. I’ve been ready to step in and take that responsibility. 

“I spoke to the manager before the first game of the season, we had that conversation. He put me on the pens and thankfully I put one away against Leeds.” – Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Above: Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s xG shotmap (taken from the Premium Members Area) in 2021/22 shows how close to goal his nine chances have been.

BUDGET GRAY IMPRESSES

Calvert-Lewin on Everton penalties - but Ings stays second in line at Villa 3

Two of Everton’s £5.5m midfielders combined for their second goal.

Abdoulaye Doucoure‘s (£5.5m) slightly more attacking remit under Benitez is something we highlighted last week and it was he who teed up Demarai Gray (£5.5m) to score, the latter arguably being the Toffees’ stand-out player at Elland Road on the left wing of a 4-4-2.

“It [Gray’s goal and performance] is an indication we have a player trying to do his best. At the same time, he is pushing the players around him, because the competition is good in each position.

“Gray and Townsend are giving us competition in the wide areas and that will only be positive for the team and the strikers.” – Rafael Benitez

TWO GAMES, ZERO CLEAN SHEETS

A total of 34 shots were shared equally in this match, which doesn’t sound like a great advert for either defence on paper.

Indeed, Everton and Leeds are two of 11 sides who have yet to register a clean sheet this season, and the Whites have allowed more shots on target than any other team.

If we’re clutching at straws regarding the set-piece-taking Lucas Digne (£5.5m) and co, we can say that preventable, individual Michael Keane (£5.0m) errors have accounted for two of the goals that Everton have conceded in 2021/22, with the other a Raphinha (£6.5m) howitzer.

But there were shaky moments in either side’s backline, and this was a good advert for the absent Diego Llorente (£4.5m) and Ben Godfrey (£4.9m), arguably the two sides’ most accomplished centre-halves.

Patrick Bamford (£8.0m) and Raphinha at least got back among the FPL attacking returns, the latter racking up an eye-catching six shots – a Gameweek high among FPL assets, even if all bar his goal came from outside the box and they amounted to a combined xG of 0.18.

Leeds United XI: Meslier, Ayling, Cooper, Struijk, Firpo (Shackleton 60), Phillips, Dallas, Klich (Roberts 60), Raphinha, Harrison, Bamford. 

Everton XI: Pickford, Keane, Coleman, Mina, Digne, Allan, Doucoure, Iwobi (Townsend 75), Gray (Delph 83), Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin (Kean 90).

    Seems like people are getting in 5.5 mids like Gray to enable Lukaku.

    A. 11.5 + 5.5
    Vs
    B. 8.5 + 8.5

    Think B scores higher and unless you want to captain the premium player regularly in A, it's not worth it.

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

      But you would captain an 11.5 premium often.

      1. Sanchit
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I don't think people who are bringing in Lukaku now, with Salah and Bruno already there would captain Lukaku in any match before GW7.
        If they plan to do so, then it's worth it.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      yeah plus it locks you in to those price points. B provides more flexibility.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Lukaku replacing one of Salah/Bruno is the sensible way, probably in GW7. I don't know why people are trying to fit in too many premiums now

    4. LT10
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Completely agree.
      Premiums only provide value for money if you captain them.

    So how is it possible for White to be on -72.4 to a drop now?? He was on -99 last night, or maybe even past -100?

    Surely not that many WCs? I smell a rat...

      It's called a flag.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        So the person in charge of flagging lives in the ISA or somewhere few hours behind UK time? I'm only 1 hour ahead of UK time and there was no flag at around midnight. Anyway...

          Price changes are at 2.30. Nothing in the rules says flags don't happen after midnight.
          No Cinderella fairytales here.

      Yellow flag.

        I see Camzy For what though? Can't be the Covid 'cos that was known way before the flag?

    3. Hazz

      Flagged at midnight.

      FPL Statistics reflected it a little but later. By the websites own admission (scroll down to Notes)...

      "1. The data on this site is updated typically every 30 minutes - roughly at 20 past and 10 to the hour. To update the data and view the most recent predictions you will need to manually refresh this web page."

      http://www.fplstatistics.co.uk/Home/IndexAndroid2

      I actually sold White at 00:07 and he was still on -100. Obviously if I'd been paying more attention, could have waited 15 minutes or so since the website update will have been ~12:20 😉

          Three Arsenal players all got flagged at the same time. Really not sure why it happened at midnight as it can happen any time in the day. The reason for that is the unknown bit...

          1. My heart goes Salalalalah
            • 7 Years

            Exactly. But now I know

  3. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Sells are now outnumbering buys for Tsimikas. I sense that price rise isn't going to happen.

    Sorry I know this is a noob question and not sure if it's a known thing but is Lukaku going up in price tonight?

    I've seen some people mention that there is a block on a rise or something? I have exact money to bring him in but ideally don't want to this week.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He’s going up for sure

    2. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Very likely but not definitely

    3. MagicMessi
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He will rise up in price tonight 99.999%

      1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Some would say 100.8%

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Block has been removed and yes he will increase in price

      You can find your name in the tables (widget).
      Fixtures aren't showing but can't be far away.
      All I know is I lost 1st round with 105 lol

    Adama at Wolves underlying data is very good for the first two games, his finishing of course is terrible but the system seems to get the best out of him and not Jimi. Super high ICT index numbers also.

    hmm, he could explode in next few weeks, should be easily on 15+ points already.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Could be popular after IB.

    2. Supersonic Marv'
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's a perfect example of why you shouldn't put your faith in expected goals stats etc.

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He's going to Wolves isn't he?

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Spurs*

    4. L S P
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I agree - the underlying numbers are terrific but...converting those numbers into FPL points is another matter entirely, no?

      I'll be interested to see how he does away at Watford, who I see as a good-at-home, bad-away team...

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Think Watford could be decent on the break team against non top 6 defences

        All their next fixtures look ok for the price of Sarr and Dennis for example

  7. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
    • 7 Years

    First time in a long time I haven't wildcards gw3. Very happy with my team

  8. Weasel Boy

    Buendia to Ali?

  9. TOLV TUMS
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Tsimi holders: when are you thinking of getting rid? He's gotta lose his spot to Robbo when he's fit to come back, right? And then after that he's at best a rotation risk to Robbo occasionally?

    1. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Havent you heard? Tsimi is the new Robbo. Buy buy buy.

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I'm holding one more week. They are playing well with him in the side so no need to bring Robbo back earlier than necessary.

      No rush getting rid just bench him

      Only if the day comes when I when I want that third Pool spot. Otherwise he can just sit on the bench 🙂

    Who would you bin for Lukaku?

    Son or Bruno?

    1. TOLV TUMS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Any news on Son injury? EO for Bruno is so ridiculously high that I'd love to move him out for Lukaku. Definitely considering.

      We have to keep him for Norwich though don't we?! Even if it's a 1 pointer today.

    If only Harvey played better in GW1, writing was on the wall.

      They guy knew. It wasn't an injury prediction, it was this.

    Pepe and Scarlett to DCL and 4.5 mid worth a hit?

    Is Barnes now an easy hold?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      If Leicester win, probably not.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Depends if Barnes is subbed on for the winner

          Might only be good as a sub then.

    Mane and Harvey to Pogba and Grealish wierdly inspired transfers

    Barnes, I suppose we can't even keep him for Norwich now

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He starts

  22. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What should be top priority to manage?

    A: Veltman will be isolating longer. His price drop looks likely.

    B: Lukaku's price rise will make it harder to get him along with two other premiums.

      Current team with 0.4 itb and 0 transfer. All set for GW3 or take a heat for Gundo---->Pogba? -4 might be worth of Pogba outscores Gundo by 4 in GW3 Which is very possible. Not sure
      Sanchez
      Cresswell Shaw Amartey
      Bruno Salah Gundo Barnes Benrahman

      Hope everyone managed to sell Barnes in time for his drop

      Barnes was always a crap pick. Not nailed and hasn't shown much in his brief career. He could be another Demarai Gray. Needs to improve big time. Too much is placed on potential. He is 23. Look at what Rashford, Foden, Mount and Greenwood have shown and they are all younger.

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        But he starts

      2. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        He starts. Wrongly hindsighted.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Not about whether he starts. I am making the broader point. Look at all the players (just take English players, not even the non-English players like Ferran Torres, Bergwijn, Havertz, Pulisic etc.) that are similar age or younger and they are better.

          1. Rassi
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            The timing of your "broader point" is a bit hindsightey.

      3. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years

        Well done you’ve jinxed him into a hat trick now

        This didn't age well

        ratio

        Double figures on the way.

      7. Forza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I don't care about whether he's better in real life than injured/rotated/more expensive players, I care about him getting points, and he got plenty of them when he was on the pitch last season at ~5 points per game.

        Most of the good non-premium picks are wasteful and greedy but points are points.

    5. DannyDrinkVodka

      false alarm, Barnes starts
