Everton v Brentford team news: Calvert-Lewin starts, Keane out

The final Premier League match of the day is another big one, both for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers and for those clubs embroiled in the battle to avoid the drop to the Championship.

Everton host Brentford, knowing that a win will ensure Premier League safety with two games to spare.

Kick-off at Goodison Park is at 16:30 BST.

Frank Lampard makes three changes to the Toffees team that drew 0-0 at Watford in midweek.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Andre Gomes and Jarrad Branthwaite all come into the side, with Demarai Gray dropping to the bench.

Fabian Delph is injured, while Michael Keane fell ill overnight and also misses out.

Brentford are unchanged from last Saturday’s 3-0 home victory over Southampton.

GAMEWEEK 37 LINE-UPS

      Richarlison vs Jansson is going to be the main event.

      He's actually been quite chilled by his usual standards so far.

    Richa PK miss and RC still to come.

    I've read the script

    1. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 4 Years

      No need to spread the salt cuz you didn't captain (or own) him.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai

        Why so serious? 😀

  12. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years

    (K)ardy, Maddison and Richarlison! FH success so far

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Ri(C)harlison, Maddison, and Kane doing it will for me even without Vardy

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Nice work - I forgot about Kane! Lol

    2. Mozumbus

      *well

  13. M2.0

    Anyone here successfully taken a season break from fpl? Considering it after 12 straight seasons

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Was going to have next season as a 'gap year but I think I'd miss it!

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I keep a team but with variant attention. Stopped really paying attention after covid ruined this season and made it a crap shoot. Just made changes and left it, didn’t care about hits. Kept it fun.

    3. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I took a midway break this season for a few weeks

    4. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah I did in 18/19 season 3 years ago, quit after GW9. It was good

    5. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Strongly considering it. 10 blanks so far on FH adding fuel to the flame.

    6. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      no, but I bet you'll regret it when the season starts and join in week 2 and will be playing catch up, so I wouldn't.
      You can always aim to play the game differently, like just switching off after each game week and assess your team a couple of hours before each deadline...you'll eliminate those knee jerk reactions and you never know you might do better?

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I wouldn’t even say i’m doing that bad. Currently ~60k but feel like i’m not enjoying the game anymore and spending too much time overthinking my team (not something that i could change easily. This gameweek just magnifies this feeling. Spent hours debating what to do to hold onto a 30 lead in my ML, gad Richarlison captain all week and switched to Son this morning. 30 point lead is now a 16 point defecit and he still has many more players to play.

    7. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I did once. Set up a team, though. Then decided to leave it after one week. Had a lot going on that year, and didn't really need the distraction. I didn't really miss it at the time, but was extra excited to start the following year. Not sure I'd do it again, though. It makes football so much better (and worse!)

    8. Conor1
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes. I gave it a miss last year. Did not miss it at all. Guy in my work convinced me to join a league this season. Retiring permanently next week. Won’t miss it. It’s a great game but not for me any more at my old age

    9. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I was going to this season because of having a newborn back in sept but it's turned out to be my best ever season! I think I was around the 24k mark last GW. I may take next season off and enjoy football naturally again haha

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I think i’ve forgotten what it feels like to enjoy the premier league for the actual football and not fpl repercussions haha

    10. SAY MY NAME
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      no - i've been playing every year since 2006 or whichever year it started (and played the CH4 game before that which seemed to be the forerunner) - but last 2 or 3 seasons have been gruelling, maybe i'll just do an almost ghost team next season, just pick some good 'uns and leave it be

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Funny thing is I’m in a cup semi final this week in my mini league. Guys against me hasn’t looked at his team in three months and is level with me. Sometimes maybe we over think this game

  14. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Such a soft penalty. I guess to make up for the red?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      And the penalty that should have been on the lead-up to it.

  15. Feanor
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Switching from Watkins to Ings on my FH is so damn typical. Thought Watkins was an injury doubt.

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah, was a doubt. Still think Ings was the better option on paper and there's a game still to go.

    2. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Once had some good chances too. Could have had a brace on another day. Keep the faith!

      1. Goodfeathers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        *Ings had

  16. BrockLanders

    Another Rich goal in the second half be lovely 🙂

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      It would indeed. Coming from a non owner.

  17. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    How does rich have over 100 EO wtf…. There can’t be that many FHers

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Many expert players not on free hits transferred him in

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Was in about 38% of teams last week
      Now plenty of FHs in play and was a popular transfer for non-FHers

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah, hoping for a red now as a FH owner

  18. HTL
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Top of our ML has played a free hit and is currently up to 75 OR. Absolutely incredible

    1. HTL
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Actually, 621, would help if I could read. Still, I'd bite your hand off for that

    2. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Wow, great to be part of a top league. Can see some big changes today. FH are the winners with Leicester and Rich. Big debate about which week was better for FH , 36 or 37 and it turns out it’s both (shame about the rule)

  19. tommo-uk-
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If Carlsberg made wrong decisions…..

    Every single 50/50 I’ve made this FH has been the wrong one.

    Unbelievable Jeff

      (I)ngs here. 🙁

    2. Sun Jihai

      New contract bounce!

  21. Hect.OR 98th
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Can't get the captaincy right this season. Son over Rich the latest tight call to go wrong. Grateful for the Rich points, anyway.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      2 games aside, was just unlucky. Son had two big chances that on another day go in the net.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Somehow just makes it worst...

  22. sunzip14
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Richarlison(C), Maddison & Vardyson doing some nice stuff taking me to 1st in ML with good lead to defend for final GW!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      And ????

    2. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      well played

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well done

    4. COLLIN QUANER

      Nice. Hope you can win your league

    5. Grande Tubarão

      That’s brilliant mate, well done

      Approaching the ton ?

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        70 currently. Double Villa and double Everton CS busted!

    7. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Same mate but Vardy C instead of Richarlison 🙂

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Even better, as of now!

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yeah but Chelsea away next so expect Rich to score better

    8. Indpush
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Fun stuff

  23. asr
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    67, so FH not complete disaster so far as Richarlison owner but Son(c). But DGW is still young..

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm have Richarlison (c) and am only on 50.

      1. asr
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Maddison and Vardy saving my FH

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          No Leicester was expecting rotation.

    2. Hiiler
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      66 here, but without bonus points which rightnow should be 13. Have Rich /C).

    3. griffzinho
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Ah ffs. What a muppet. 67 is a great score. 'Disaster' my rear end

      1. asr
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        If Richarlison continues to haul, rank goes down. I'm sorry if you don't understand how EO works.

        1. griffzinho
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          67 is an epic score so if you mention the word 'disaster' in the context of Richarlison EO of just 115%, which is tiny drop in rank as you are an owner. Guess you are just feeling real sorry for yourself that you might lost a few places from Richie despite your GW score probably being well in the top 25-100K (I'm on 54 pts and mine is 234K GW Rank. You will comfortably go up and are on a FH, which most people don't have the luxury of. Actually you said 'complete disaster'. Haha.. FFS. Crying over an EO of 115% when you hold is being a total baby. Stop bragging about your score and if you do do then don't refer to it as a 'complete disaster'.

          1. Hiiler
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            I think he said "not a complete disaster" . 67 points is good score righnow yes. Although it all depends what is his overall rank and how well his GW will go on . Rightnow 67 is a good score though.

            1. Hiiler
              • 2 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              And you need to think about that as well as he said FH team 67 points. This also counts as FH teams should get more points then those who are not using chips usually. But yeah still for this GW rightnow 67 is good score in my mind also as I told before .

              1. griffzinho
                • 11 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                Yera anyone complaining after 67 points so for needs a kick in the rear end tbh. FH or no FH. That is a fact.

    4. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      67’s a great score mate, congrats

    5. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nearly reported you when I read 67 and disaster but I will let you off

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        This

  24. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Thought about going spurs defense instead of Mykolenko but the DGW fever could very well do me in here.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sess' 8pts looking at me first on the bench over Myk and Castagne's blanks. Was questioning Myko for a while over him but figured to just take the punt

  25. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Do you think Salah will play last round if they win vs Southampton?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Absolutely

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Could be a sub. Wolves should be a win regardless.

    3. Fintroy
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      yes, golden boot up for grabs....

    4. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No but will come on late on

  26. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I somehow don't have Richarlison on FH.

    Suckered in by Villa attack. Luckily I have double Leicester attack but this gain is not gonna be as much as I hoped.

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Can’t have em all. I decided to go Vardy over Richarlison.

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Same here

        1. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          It came down to me not being on FH and wanting Vardy more than Richarlison in 38.
          Probably would of had both if on FH.

      2. Hiiler
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I have 11 starting DGW's and both Vardy and Richarlison. So it should be quite easily affordable. FPL down and don't remamber my budget, but it is not so big. Maybe 104 or so and some of it is unused.

        1. Hiiler
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          103,6 budget and 0,3 in bank

          1. Hiiler
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            And have Son and Cancelo benched. 🙂

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Same here. Cout and Ings major let down, Imagine getting Barnes and Richa instead

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Owner but hoping he gets sent off = zero enjoyment

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Was tricky this week between Kane vs. Ings vs. Vardy vs. Rich
      I avoided Ings as I thought Watkins would start but that meant I went Coutinho over Maddison as I wasn't sure I wanted to double up knowing Rodgers rotation and Maddison having a knock recently

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Went Kane, Vardy and Rich!

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yeah same!

    5. Shineonme
