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

    Has Gray been good in Evertons other games?

      Burnley should have had a few v Leeds, nasty team with a nasty manager that thinks dangerous tackles looking to cause injuries is a legitimate way to play the game

    I know my grav says I am biased but Burnley are playing a very dirty game

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

      Nah. Proper tackles.

    2. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years

      That's their game. They're kickers and shovers.

      Townsend booked for a softer foul.

    Burnley doing some proper defending. Finally the mans game is returning to the premierleague.

    On wildcard:

    A) Greenwood & Traore/Sarr (352)
    B) Jimenez & Traore/Sarr (343)

    1. Thanos

      Green + Sarr

    If that was Xhaka or any other non english player it would be red.

    Digne's passing has been atrocious

    So, I’m in a bit of a pickle. I have DCL and Antonio, no transfers left and I have to play Gilmour or Williams next week if I don’t make transfers. I’d like Lukaku, but that needs to be a -8 to get him in. So should I:

    A) Do nothing and play Williams/Gilmour
    B) Take a -8 for two strikers to replace Antonio & DCL
    C) Take a -12 to get Lukaku

    Gut says A

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      -4 replace Dcl?

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Either A or forget about Lukaku (you got Ron?) and hit out DCL for Bam.
