It's a grand old team to play for...

Game Week 20 was a success. Despite high profile blanks for the likes of Salah, Bruno and Harry Kane (more on him later), my gameweek was saved by latest addition to the squad, Joao Cancelo, his Man City Counterparts - Ilkay Gundogan & John Stones, and a nice piece of luck - Reece James missing out, meaning 1st sub Tomas Soucek and his lovely 15 points came off the bench for me.
And so I take a nice 71 points acoompanied by a 270k OR rise and turn my attentions to gameweek 21 and beyond.
With their tasty looking fixtures, and the prospect of a double gameweek on the horizon, my thoughts turn to Everton and their assets.

With key players back to fitness, it could be a good time to bring some of them back into our squads, with the potential of a few of them being differentials, I'm hoping that the toffees can fire me up my mini leagues.
Earlier in the week I had a couple of options planned out for my transfers, and both options provided me with an Everton player coming in.
Option A: Lucas Digne and Michael Antonio coming in for Luke Ayling and Patrick Bamford
Option B: Dominic Calvert Lewin in for Bamford.
I've lost patience with my Leeds assets, and it basically came down to which Everton option i wanted, and i was leaning towards Digne (especially with him lining up in midfield in midweek), even with it meaning a 4 point hit...
But then, on Thursday night, disaster struck as Harry Kane was forced off injured for Spurs in their clash with Liverpool.
Therefore I’ve decided to combine my plans and bring in both Digne and Calvert Lewin, taking a 4 point hit and selling Kane and Ayling.
With 6 assists from 10 starts this season, Digne will have plenty of chances to add to his attacking returns in the upcoming games, especially against both Newcastle and Leeds who have looked out of sorts recently.
One minor worry for Digne, is that he is yet to have a shot on target this season, but with the ability the Frenchman possesses this shouldn’t be a trend that continues for too long, and if he continues in his advanced position, then he will hopefully get more chances to get some shots off.
Back to Digne’s assist potential, he has created more big chances per 90 mins than any defender this season, and the man I’m hoping to benefit from them is Calvert-Lewin.
Despite his form being iffy, with Everton having their key players back, I’m backing the England front man to get back to the electric form he showed earlier in the season over the next few weeks.
in terms of team selection, I think I’m going for a 4-5-1 this week with Digne and DCL coming straight in.
Im still in 2 minds who to captain, with Cancelo, Salah, Gundogan and Digne all strong candidates for the armband. It’s currently on Cancelo but this may change.
