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

    Was that De Bruyne or Doucoure? Outstanding pass!

      Abdoulaye de Bruyne.

      Rafa the magician

      I know you were slating them before, but look at the table.

    3. The Tinkerman

      Burnley making Townsend look like Salah

  13. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gray essential

    Oh eff off Gray!. So many times events in the last game of the gameweek ruin an otherwise good week.

    how unbelievably lucky did people without DCL get this week smh

    1. C-Dawgg
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm genuinely fuming

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    And imagine if Evertons main man started this game too...

    Unlucky Rondon owners.

  17. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) DCL > Bamford (FT)
    B) DCL, Benrahma > Bamford, Raph (-4)

    Think I’m just gonna do A and play Williams

    Sa
    TAA, Semedo, Tierney, Williams
    Salah, Jota, Benrahma, Traore
    Ronaldo, !DCL!

    4.0; Allan, Livra, !Antonio!

    Gray on wildcard?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Always good value, looks to be delivering on it now too. Something he couldnt do at Leicester.

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Fixtures are good too (barring Man United).

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      His underlying stats are pretty awful, not convinced he can come close to keeping it up.

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'm not worried about underlying stats if he keeps scoring! He is only 5.5.

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          He won’t keep scoring every game though will he... The underlying stats are the clue to that 😉

    Well my wildcard worked pretty well.

  20. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Gray is officially the biggest bargain in the game

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Played well 2nd half

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      On this showing we should sell Salah for Doucouré and somehow get Townsend in too before him

  21. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What sounds better:
    A. Coufal to Semedo
    B. Benrahma to Gray

  22. gart888

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ok, looks like wildcard time. Best way to fill these blanks with 13.9 in funds?

    4.5 - 4.0
    TAA - Shaw - White - Livramento - _____________
    Salah - Jota - Rphinha - Gray - __________
    Ronaldo - Lukaku - __________

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      CBA to do the maths but Dennis up top and a 4.0 in defence and a 4.5 mid would be okay?

      1. gart888
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, can spend 0.2 more than that.

        I'm just wondering if I might rather a 4.5 defender than Dennis?

  23. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Doucoure essential

  24. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wow

  25. MikeS
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Dcl, Jota, Torres >>> Lukaku, gray, Gallagher -8 point hit???

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    Who do you reckon is the best 4.5 mid to sit on the bench?

  30. Gunneryank
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys, thoughts?

    Salah > Gray
    Antonio > Lukaku

    -8, GTG?

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      -8? LOL
