Calvert-Lewin misses out as Everton host Burnley

In the final match of Gameweek 4, Everton hope to go four games unbeaten when they entertain Burnley at Goodison Park.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

The big news for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers is that there is no Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.2m) in the matchday squad.

Toffees manager Rafa Benitez provided an update prior to kick-off:

As a result, it looks like a potential back-three formation for Everton, with Richarlison (£7.5m) leading the line and new signing Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) on the bench.

Captain Seamus Coleman (£5.0m) starts after the hamstring injury he suffered on international duty turned out to be minor, Fabian Delph (£4.4m) misses the game with a shoulder injury, while James Rodriguez (£6.9m) sits out due to match fitness issues.

As for Burnley, club record-signing Maxwel Cornet (£6.0m) is a substitute, with Sean Dyche sticking with the same starting XI that drew with Leeds United in Gameweek 3.

Connor Roberts (£4.5m), Nathan Collins (£4.4m) and Dale Stephens (£4.5m) are all missing from the matchday squad.

LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Godfrey, Keane, Mina, Coleman, Allan, Doucoure, Digne, Gray, Townsend, Richarlison

Subs: Begovic, Kenny, Holgate, Iwobi, Gomes, Gordon, Gbamin, Davies, Rondon

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Gudmundsson, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Barnes, Wood

Subs: Hennessey, Cork, Rodriguez, Lennon, Cornet, Pieters, Barnsley, Vydra, Thomas

    Last week I had the chance to get Lukaku & 4.5 fodder or DCL + Greenwood.

        Yeah, but the thing is do I repeat the same thing as last time or go all in on a nailed reliable premium asset
        I'm leaning towards the premium option, coz in the long run they'll outscore most mid priced forwards by a long margin

                  i think depends on City's UCL game and the player performances really. If Mahrez starts and plays poorly, then I'd be tempted too tbh

                  Don't like Jimi. Bamford better. But think City will put SOU to the sword and if Jesus starts, he can easily have a double digit score.

      I think the SOU game justifies taking a chance at Pep Roulette.

      Currently on Torres myself, so doubling up is not an option.

      Don’t love the Jimenez pick, but I am finding hard to ignore those fixtures.

    Burnley are a voodoo team for FPL picks so far.

    GW1: Bundles over Maupay/Brighton CS.
    GW2: Salah stopped.
    GW3: Raphinha rattled.
    GW4: DCL damaged
    GW5: ???

    I'll probably be subbing in White for Antonio so given its Arsenal its bound to be calamitous!

      You should almost ignore most managerial chat, most of them hate giving information out.

      That Dean Smith and Grealish ridiculousness last season is a prime example. Ole is terrible at it as well.

      They have no interest answering journo questions straight on so just give vague generic answers.

    Thoughts on a 442 wildcard team?

    Sanchez
    TAA James Marcal White
    Salah Jota Traore Raphinha
    Lukaku Ronaldo

      It’s Jota vs Jimenez for a spot

      too early for James imo, go with a Laporte imo

        With Chelasea and Liverpool in the next three? Mmm if I was to go elsewhere, I’d probably get Semedo.

      That's a pretty decent team, though personally, I'd look for someone else in place of Traore.

          See how Gray does tonight and if he fits your bill. I think he's a decent 4th mid if you have a premium forward line.

      A, but only because I don't like to double up except for attacking teams who are in red hot form. Which Leeds aren't right now.

    DCL injury has absolutely ruined me, already wildcarded, Antonio out and sacked off last nights rises, now I’m thinking DCL, Jota, Greenwood out for Lukaku, Raphina Gray/Gallagher (-8)

      Wouldn't suggest. Sounds knee-jerk. Just replace DCL with Bamford/Jimenez imo if u have playing bench.
