The latest team news ahead of Everton vs Aston Villa in the Premier League.
David Moyes has unveiled some unexpected Everton team news ahead of this weekend’s clash with Aston Villa.
Attacking midfielder Iliman Ndiaye is a new doubt for the Toffees after suffering a knock. The former Sheffield United man has returned from his international duty with Senegal with an issue and there are no guarantees he will be fit in time to take on Villa.
“We’ve got a concern about Iliman Ndiaye,” Moyes confirmed during his pre-match press conference. “He’s got a knock, so we’ll need to see. We’re not sure how he will be for tomorrow.”
Should FPL managers transfer out Ndiaye?
Ndiaye is a popular pick on Fantasy Premier League, so plenty of managers will be scratching their heads at what they should be doing with the Everton midfielder. Should Ndiaye be held? Is he a sell this week?
Well, as it’s just a knock, Ndiaye might be a hold on this occasion. It may be tempting to pivot to Everton teammate Jack Grealish but transfers are valuable in FPL and it’s worth considering benching Ndiaye instead. The next fixture, away at Liverpool, is far from ideal but nicer looking home matches against West Ham United and Crystal Palace follow that.
Ndiaye has already scored 17 FPL points this campaign, ranking him joint eleventh for midfielders. The Senegalese has scored two goals from 1.3xG. Grealish is yet to score but the former Villa star, who recently claimed the Premier League Player of the Month award for August, has accumulated five more FPL points thanks to four assists in two starts.
