Asmir Begovic - Makes first Everton start Begovic allowed three goals while making a save during Saturday's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Begovic conceded all three goals in the second half as Everton dropped all three points on Saturday. The keeper may be forced to continue in goal for Everton if Jordan Pickford is unable to recover for next week's match against Norwich.

Seamus Coleman - Out Saturday Coleman picked up a "problem in training Friday" and is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Impact Coleman is one of three late absences for Everton, so clearly something went awry in training Friday. In his place Saturday, Ben Godfrey is getting the start in what appears to be a back line composed of three center-backs.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Pickford - Out with shoulder issue Pickford is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Aston Villa because of a shoulder injury.

Impact Pickford apparently picked up the shoulder injury in the last 24 hours, as he wasn't mentioned in Rafa Benitez's press conference. It's unknown the severity, but for Saturday, Asmir Begovic is getting his first league start for Everton.

Richarlison - Not in squad Saturday Richarlison is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Aston Villa because of a knee problem.

Impact Richarlison is a surprise absence Saturday having started every match for Everton this season. It's unknown the exact injury but a "knee problem" is pretty vague. In his place, Salomon Rondon is getting his first start for the Toffees.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - Still out 2-3 weeks Calvert-Lewin (quad) will be out two or three weeks, according to manager Rafa Benitez.

Impact Benitez gave the same update earlier in the week, so it's likely nothing changed with Calvert-Lewin. He'll likely miss a couple more matches with a chance to return before the break, but it may be more likely he's out until after the October international break.

Jordan Pickford - Stops five in win Pickford made fives saves while giving up one goal in Monday's 3-1 victory over Burnley.

Impact Pickford has put together a decent start to the season, as he has made 12 saves in four matches while giving up just four goals and earning one clean sheet. The keeper will look to maintain his top form heading into a matchup with Aston Villa on Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Seamus Coleman - Records four crosses Coleman registered four crosses (one accurate), one tackle (won) and one clearance versus Burnley on Monday.

Impact Coleman shook off a hamstring injury to make his fourth straight start of the season, this time in a midfield role as manager Raphael Benitez implemented a back three in defense. With his injury behind him, the Irishman should continue to be a fixture in the Everton attack.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Digne - Takes four corners Digne recorded four corners, five crosses (two accurate) and four chances created in Monday's 3-1 win over Burnley.

Impact Digne led the team in crosses as well as taking all four of the Toffees' corners. Through the first four matches of the year, Digne has recorded 40 percent of the team's crosses while sending 19 of 20 corners. As the primary corner-taker, Digne should continue to offer top-end fantasy value the rest of the way, including Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Abdoulaye Doucoure - Earns two assists in win Doucoure recorded two assists along with three interceptions, two tackles (one won) and two chances created against Burnley on Monday.

Impact Doucoure is clearly benefitting from the freedom afforded to him by new manager Rafael Benitez, as he has recorded one goal on eight shots (four on target) and three assists in just four contests. If Doucoure can continue to push up the pitch, he should provide solid fantasy value heading into Saturday's matchup with Aston Villa.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Keane - Kicks off comeback Keane scored a goal on one shot to start Everton's 3-1 comeback over Burnley on Monday.

Impact Keane found himself on the end of a cross from Andros Townsend that the defender was able to head into the back of the net. Looking ahead to the rest of the season, Keane shouldn't be expected to score with any soft of consistency, with the bulk of his fantasy value coming from clearances.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Demarai Gray - Scores again Monday Gray scored a goal on four shots (one on target) against Burnley on Monday.

Impact With his tally, Gray has scored in three consecutive matches to start the season after joining Everton in the offseason. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin (quadriceps) sidelined, the Toffees will need players like Gray and Andros Townsend to push the attack from the wings. Gray will look to keep rolling in a clash with Aston Villa on Saturday.
