Richarlison on the wing as Maddison benched for Leicester

1,451 Comments

Richarlison (£7.0m) has been deployed on the left-wing for Everton as they host Leicester City in the opening Premier League fixture of 2019.

That has allowed Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m) to come back into the side to operate as the centre-forward, Bernard (£5.9m) dropping to the bench.

Also named among the substitutes is Seamus Coleman (£5.2m), as Jonjoe Kenny (£4.2m) returns for his first start since Everton’s last meeting with Leicester on October 6.

After being benched for the Gameweek 20 trip to Brighton, Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m) comes back in to skipper the Toffees, who line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Brazilian international Richarlison may enjoy his outing at Goodison Park today as he goes up against Danny Simpson (£4.2m), who has been deployed at right-back for the first time since Gameweek 15 today. The former title-winner is making just his third league start of the campaign.

Meanwhile, James Maddison (£6.8m) finds himself on the Leicester bench, while Hamza Choudhury (£4.3m) makes his third start in four matches. The 21-year-old was excellent in recent wins over Chelsea and Manchester City but was rested for the Gameweek 20 defeat to Cardiff.

Wes Morgan (£4.5m) fails to recover from illness which sees Jonny Evans (£4.8m) come in, while Rachid Ghezzal (£5.1m) gets back into the Leicester starting line-up since Gameweek 12.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Zouma, Keane, Kenny; Gomes, Gueye; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Calvert-Lewin.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Maguire, Evans, Simpson; Ndidi, Mendy, Choudhury; Ghezzal, Vardy, R Pereira.

        Omg, did you see the footage of Trump getting on that plane? Cowering under the jumbo umbrella to protect his hilarious hair, he just abandoned his wife and child, leaving them in the pouring rain. You can tell a lot about a man by how he treats his family.

          Unfortunately, one-third of the US does not see his lack of character.

            How does someone vote for Trump who lives on a island (Mar-a-Lago) to isolate himself from the rest of population and claims he is going to look out for the best interest of the common American?

        Isn’t it annoying when you’re at a public urinal and the stream won’t begin so you’re stood there panicking with your parts exposed?

        Fear not

        Just try to make the 15 fpl players from your squad in your head and I guarantee you’ll be going by the time you name your second defender.

            It happened to me once. Sadly I didn't play FPL then, so there was no way out. I had to wait until I was alone and zip up.

            Went C Auba over Hazard after all. Still not sure if it was a right call but maybe if Alvaro starts its better to go with Auba
