James Rodriguez - Out for summer Rodriguez (calf) has been ruled out of World Cup Qualifiers and this summer's Copa America, the Colombian federation announced Friday.
Impact A lack of fitness has been the theme all season for Rodriguez and he won't be able to help his country while still dealing with nagging injuries. One can only hope that he's healthy by the time the next EPL season begins, as a healthy Rodriguez is one of the better fantasy assets available after he recorded six goals and four assists in just 23 appearances (21 starts). Along with the combined 23 goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison, Rodriguez is the key piece to help Everton compete at the top of the table, though only if he can stay fit.
