Coufal absent as Antonio and Benrahma lead Fantasy interest for Everton v West Ham

Gameweek 8 continues with Everton hosting West Ham United at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Everton, who have made a good start to the season under Rafa Benitez, make two changes from the side that drew at Old Trafford in Gameweek 7.

Yerry Mina (£4.9m) is benched after his late return from Colombia, with Seamus Coleman (£4.9m) replacing him in the starting XI, while Alex Iwobi (£5.9m) also comes in for Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) further forward.

Andros Townsend (£5.6m), who has been involved in eight goals in all competitions since his summer move, starts on the right, with Salomon Rondon (£6.0m) leading the line in the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£8.0m) and Richarlison (£7.4m), who both miss out due to injury.

As for West Ham United, David Moyes makes just one change from Gameweek 7, with Ben Johnson (£3.9m) stepping in for Vladimir Coufal (£4.9m), who missed the international fixtures through injury.

Ryan Fredericks (£4.4m) also misses out again with a groin problem.


GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Godfrey, Digne, Allan, Doucoure, Townsend, Iwobi, Gray, Rondon

Subs: Begovic, Tyrer, Kenny, Holgate, Mina, Gordon, Gbamin, Davies, Dobbin

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals, Antonio

        maybe not that moment

      Furniture removals from Toxteth to Bootle?

        to be fair, it would make things more interesting 😀

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          😛

    Anyone looking at a cheeky Toney-Mbuemo double up for this fixture run?

    Looks like 8-10 potentially profitable fixtures out of the next 13 right up to New Year's day

    TonUemo?

    MbueNey?

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes Hwang or Antonio to go for Toney.

    2. diesel001

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Fabio Borges is already one step ahead. Done that plus Raya in goal.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Oh he's a crafty devil isn't he?

        If it's good enough for Fab it's probably good enough for me tbf

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The whole team seems on their game going into it too

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I like them both as options but I'd prob not double up

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ginkapo told me the fixtures were not good

  3. BIGREDDOG
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ogbonnas face reminds me of someone.. who

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Fk I think it's chris eubank lmao

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Samuel L Jackson?

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        *Yikes face*

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ooo be careful here guys….

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Bill Gates?

    5. TKC07
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't say it you dad.. lol 😀

  4. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If Son is declared to start in 10 minutes I swear….

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I hope so KK...

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Swear what? He hasn’t tested positive has he?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I’ll just swear that’s all

    3. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      he will force Kane to play even deeper

    4. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'll rage quit if he does. This game has become too unpredictable with starting lineups that it's just not fun anymore.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yup

  5. tommo1989
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you do Rudiger to Chilwell for free, even if Rudiger is back next week?

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

      No.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Chillwell benched, then you’re fuming

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rudiger is still the more guaranteed starter when fit, under Tuchel

      1. tommo1989
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I just think Chilwell offers a lot more going forwards and even if he’s benched I have Duffy/Livramento as backup

    4. BIGREDDOG
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on team. 90% no

  6. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Antonio and Benrahma do something please!

    1. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Both are equally strong team. Probably a boring 0-0

  7. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you WC this team now?

    Sánchez
    Livramento White Digne

    Traoré Grealish Salah Gray

    A.Armstrong Ronaldo Antonio

    Steele
    Shaw
    Gilmour
    Tsimikas

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No, just get Lukaku for CR and you're good for next GW.

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would strong at the back is the way to go this season and you have no Chelsea, City or Pool defenders.

  8. sandman58
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    And they say the premier League is the best in the world???.....this game is absolute garbage

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think it’s been quite entertaining

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Are u serious? even the atmosphere is non existent

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yes serious, are you serious? It’s been lively

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

      Yeah, the competitive Bundesliga is much better.

      Bayen smashing Bayer and will sign their next big talent Wirtz at HT...

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What a silly thing to say.

    4. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Premier league is best in the world right now not because it's exceptional, but because the other leagues are pretty sh*t

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Too many bad games this season
        This one up with them

    5. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If you don't support either of these teams, why are you bothering watching a fixture like this anyway?

    6. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You should do something else with your life.

  9. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Typical dull inconsequential midtable game.

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

  12. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hearing Son is playing today. Was a false positive.
    I ditched him on my WC for KDB(at the cost of a downgrade ofc), but feel sorry for people who ditched him for a hit and if he bangs today(which is very likely).

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I swapped him for Mahrez 🙁

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Swapped for KDB for a hit. Not unhappy. Like Kev moving fwd.
