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

    Rondon needed 2nd half

      Wouldn't be surprised. Burnley have had the better chances. Everton has been a bit wasteful.

    Gray or Gallagher?

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years

      Gray for now. Gallagher when the fixtures turn(if he stays consistent till then).

      Tricky - Gallagher's stats look amazing, but he never managed that level of performance for WBA so how sustainable it is I don't know. Gray never got a decent length run out at Leicester so what his potential is...

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Never played on that position and still popped up with returns for a woeful west brom, one to watch for sure

        Gallagher by an inch for me.

      3. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Gallagher

    3. Big W
      • 5 Years

      Bruno & Toney > Greenwood & Lukaku for -4?>

      Have Benny, Salah, ESR, Raph, Jiminez, Antonio

      Thinking of playing WC. Not sure how pukki or odegaard have been playing but thoughts ?
      Sanchez (Steel)
      Trent Rudiger Dias (Livo Williams)
      Salah Raphina Gray Odegaard (Bissouma)
      Ronaldo Lukaku Pukki

      1. Geordie19
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Amazing team but not sure on odegaard or pukki.
        Pukki could work out well this week though! Otherwise Hwang of Wolves? Not sure if he will defo start but meant to be good

    5. Geordie19
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Early thought. Not sure if it’s worth it….
      A) -4 for Semedo and bench Benrahma
      B) just start Benrahma.
      Using 1 ft likely on DCL to Bam or Jimenez. Thank you

      All I can say is, it feels good to own both Ron and Rom at this point.

      Not watching game but just checked bonus as of now. Westwood in mix for 1 bonus. Always seems to be this way in tight games. Is he still on corners etc? Only priced 5.4m good fixtures upcoming and very low owned

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Update Westwood in mix for 3 bonus now!

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

          Surely there are just much better picks than Westwood?

          1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Flashier maybe. But he always starts and creates fpl chances. Already has 2 bonus and an assist gw1. In the mix for 3 here. Priced 5.4m better than the 5m mids. I know Gallagher more obvious pick not sure on fixtures. Burnley decent fixtures run coming up.

      Quite enjoying MasterChef atm, any reason to switch on the 2nd half or just stick with the cooking?

      1. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Still with the cooking! Which country's masterchef is this?

        How is Westwood playing considering getting him in / in mix for bonus assume he is doing his stuff on pitch?

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Playing pretty well without pulling up tress

            • 14 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Right thanks always meaning to get Westwood in at some stage over the years in fpl seems to tick along quietly nothing flashy but starts and creates fpl chances and equals bonus.

        Watching just to scout on Grey,what a boring match amd it's 1:25am here

          I'm actually enjoying it! 2 mediocre sides leaving space in the middle and making mistakes. What's not to like!

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

            Maybe I am disappointed that I wouldn't bring in Gray for Benarahma after watching this

      DCL has killed my start and forced me into a wildcard I think
      Is it worth taking a -8 and saving wildcard
      This also includes having to play gilmour

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        -8 and playing gillmour? Wildcard for sure!

    21. It's only Carlton Cole…
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I'm having a shocking week. I've got:

      Antonio
      Tanganga
      DCL
      Dier

      I'vd also got Alonso and I'm.not convinced he'll start next game. Is Alonso likely to be replaced this week?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I recon he’ll start, chilly to play CL

      2. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I think Chilwell will playing in UCL. Alonso start Spurs game

      3. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years

        Wait for the Zenit lineup

      4. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…

    24. Tinmen

      Which one should I drop guys?

      A) Williams (Watford H)
      B) White (Burnley A)
      C) Ayling (Newcastle A)

        A

      2. Thinkering like a Boss

        ayling

      3. JBay
        • 5 Years

        Williams for sure.

    25. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Benrahma Antonio --> Raphina Bamford for a hit?

      How about Veltman --> Semedo for another extra hit?

      1. bautasten
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hard to say without seeing your entire team. Would probably keep Antonio if I had decent cover for example.

      2. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Makes no sense. You would want Antonio straight back and even have to pay more.

    26. Isca Extremadura
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Does what it says on the tin..

      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez. Steele
      TAA. Shaw. Veltman. Tsimi. Livramento
      Salah. Bruno. Raphinha. Torres. Benrahma
      DCL. Antonio. Perica

      1 FT. 1.6 ITB

      Would you WC?

      1. Thinkering like a Boss

        Yes

      1. soup natsi

        I’d say for the foreseeable yes.

      2. lugs

        yeah i think so, he makes everyone less nervous when he gets the ball to his feet

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        They are said to have to battle it out for top spot so I wouldn't bank on it

        Best cheap route into the Arsenal defense for me is Tomiyasu

    29. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Fernandes + Amartey to Raphinha + TAA worth a hit ? Will allow me to not play Livramento against MCI.

      1. Kobrakai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

      Is Saiss nailed? Wondering if he is worth the extra 0.5 on Marçal..

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Get Marcal imo

        1. Steinburg FC
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          just go semedo, best of a bad bunch

      2. Lord of Ings
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Get semedo/marcal.

      3. Zalk
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thinking about Saiss too, he's due a goal soon.
