Richarlison shakes off ankle injury to start for Everton

Richarlison (£8.0m) has overcome the ankle injury sustained midweek to start for Everton in Gameweek 4.

The Brazilian was one of many players discussed by Carlo Ancelotti in his Friday press conference, and it would appear that he has passed the fitness test.

That means Richarlison is free to make a fourth successive start in Everton’s front three, joined there by Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.5m), now owned by 41.6% of Fantasy Premier League managers, and James Rodríguez (£7.7m).

The Colombian, now sat in 30.3% of teams, has blanked in two of his first three league matches for the Toffees, but his last Goodison Park outing produced a 12-point haul.

However, Everton’s midfield trio is somewhat patched up today with Allan (£5.5m) and André Gomes (£5.5m) both missing out to a groin injury and a knock respectively.

They are replaced by Tom Davies (£5.4m) and Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.9m) while Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.5m) makes his fourth successive Premier League start of the campaign.

Brighton arrive on Merseyside on the back of some positive displays, so Graham Potter has tempered his tinkering once again, making just one change to the side that lost to Manchester United.

Yves Bissouma (£4.5m) is back in midfield, while Leandro Trossard (£6.0m) and Neal Maupay (£6.5m) start in support of Aaron Connolly (£5.5m).

Meanwhile, popular full-back Tariq Lamptey (£4.6m), owned by 10%, retains his berth on the right-hand side of a midfield four.

Everton XI (4-3-3): Pickford; Digne, Mina, Keane, Coleman; Sigurdsson, T Davies, Doucouré; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Rodríguez.

Brighton and Hove Albion XI (3-4-2-1): Ryan; Webster, Dunk, White; March, Alzate, Bissouma, Lamptey; Maupay, Trossard; Connolly.

      I'm torn, I have him in FF but support Brighton.

    Apologies in advance to DCL owners.... I finally bought him in this week.

    The way my season is going, he'll score an own goal, get sent off, then slip getting into the early bath and pull his hamstring, ruling him out for the season.

    Really need a JRod haul here

      I got rid so wouldn’t surprise me if he did

    What were the chelsea pens for?

    Hopefully not dodgy handballs?

      Fouls

    2. The Senate

      oh no, penalties are only dodgy when it's Man Utd...

      Briefly down, back up now.

    I reckon Jrod is going to be a less popular, he's playing way too deep, assisting the assist role.

      I've always thought that way. Good player yes but not fpl wise.

  13. have you seen cyan

    One small thing I noticed over the last few years is that transfer speculation unhinges some players. You have a player in great form, then rumours start that this big club is interested etc, then they go off the boil. Or if the media really praises a new young player.
    Lets see how Lamptey does this game, will complacency creep in? Doubt it but maybe

      It better not or you'll get the blame. 🙂

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Doubt it. His work rate is phenomenal. Seems like a professional through and through.

    When should I do James > Chilwell? I'm worried about triple chilwell price rise.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Why be worried about that? He nowhere near a rise

      Almost got him. Dodged a bullet

  16. HNI

    Wow Werner! 1 shot and 0 keypasses in a 4-0 win! Amazing. Worth keeping for Soton? Epl definitely totally another ball game to Bundesliga

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years

      I'm selling for sure.

    Loving this Everton, beautiful free flowing football

      The Ancelotti effect

  20. FPL Daniel

    Werner owners surely keep against Southampton? I have him in FanTeam so he brought pts since he played 90min

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Had to keep him for WBM supposedly too.

  21. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Jorginho with 3 goals and an assist in 4 games at 5m.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      That’s his quota for the season done now

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Never consider him as a 4th mid but as a 5th mid fodder? He is going to get more penalties and minutes.

        1. ivantys
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          The question as a fodder mid is when are you gonna play him? Chelsea could get penalties any week.

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 29 days ago

            Manè is a perfect example of having that decent option to come in at random if COVID strikes though and as you say he could get a pen against anyone. Do you wouldn’t necessarily ever have to start him, just leave home 1st on bench.

            1. ivantys
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 29 days ago

              Oh well, just a 0.6m risk I guess can go ahead.

              1. FPL Blow-In
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                4 years, 29 days ago

                Get him now and you will probably gain .2 sell value over the next few gw’s. or rotate him with a 4.5 defender.

    2. Big Hands Barry
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rotation risk

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Course he is. Fodder option only, I’d never start if I owned.

    McManaman: yeah yeah yeah yeah

    Lamptey is so scary man. Feels like he'll get a lot of pens for brighton this season

  24. Alex_thekid

    Everyone: "Werner to who"
    Me: "Werner (c) nxt gw"

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      In FanTeam I think to keep him

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Why? He has shown nothing mate

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Good luck!

    4. FPL Blow-In

      4 years, 29 days ago

      That’s just being different for the sake of being different. No stats, form, fails eye test, don’t think I’d be holding home for his .3 drop over the IB either.

    5. JerseyD

      Keep an eye on Brewster, could be fpl value gold

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        That's a bold statement coming from you. 😆

    Man U missed a trick not getting Ancelotti when he became available.
