GW7 OBNES TO WATH;RICHALISON

Richarlison (£6.6m)

The winger made a flying start to his Everton career after arriving from Watford last summer.

Richarlison scored three goals in the first two Gameweeks, against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton respectively.

That helped him to 23 points and led to a huge surge in early-season popularity for the Toffees’ midfielder.
Lay-off

Richarlison had earned over 1.1m new FPL owners by the time he was sent off at AFC Bournemouth in Gameweek 3.

His subsequent three-match ban forced many owners to look for replacements.

The summer signing turned in a promising display on his return to the starting XI last weekend.

Although he failed to score in the 2-0 loss at Arsenal, Richarlison fired four shots on goal, at least double that of any team-mate.
Marked improvements

When compared with last season, his shooting accuracy has improved markedly.

Five of his nine attempts have been on target this term.

That equates to 55.5 per cent accuracy, up from just 23.2 per cent in 2017/18.

Fulham arrive as one of just three teams without a clean sheet this season.
Fulham's vulnerable defence

The Cottagers have conceded 43 shots on target, more than any other side.

They also place in the bottom two for shots faced, with 103.

Richarlison looks well set to take advantage and steer his owners to more points returns in Gameweek 7.

SHEARER;ANDERSON WILL GET FANS OFF THEIR SEATS

Alan Shearer says that in Felipe Anderson, West Ham United fans have found a shining star to be proud of. The Brazilian playmaker scored his first Premier League goal in stylish fashion on Saturday, producing a skilful backflick that set the Hammers on their way to a memorable 3-1 win over Manchester United. And Shearer, who includes West Ham's No 8 in his Best XI for Matchweek 7, says Anderson's growing influence is beginning to tell on a Hammers side who have earned seven points from their last three matches. "The summer signing scored a wonderful goal against Man Utd," he said says of Anderson. "He is showing the star quality that will get West Ham fans off their seats."
