A prominent midfielder for the Blues will be unavailable for selection this weekend.
The player, who has revitalized his career since joining the Toffees during the transfer window, has been impressive thus far this campaign, finding the net on one occasion and providing four assists.
The Blues have accumulated 11 points from their initial seven games, with the player in question either scoring or assisting in triumphs over Brighton, Wolves, and Crystal Palace.
Why is this player not available this weekend?
The international player’s recent performance has elevated his popularity among fantasy league managers this season.
He has accumulated 37 total points thus far, having been in the starting eleven for six of Everton’s initial seven games.
He’s been on the pitch for the entirety of the last four games, but fantasy league managers would be advised to remove him from their squad for this upcoming game, as he is ineligible to participate and cannot play against his primary club, Manchester City.
However, should you be seeking a reliable replacement for matchday 8, your search need not be extensive.
The Blues also have another player demonstrating good form – forward Iliman Ndiaye. The recent acquisition has similarly amassed 37 points, netting the ball three times and providing one assist.
The player is anticipated to be back in the starting eleven for Everton on October 26th, when they welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Hill Dickinson Stadium.
