Everton supporters will have plenty of decisions to ponder when it comes to their Fantasy Premier League teams.

Everton had plenty of good options for their Fantasy Premier League teams, given the exciting way that David Moyes' side finished last season.

Many backed the stars of last season to get their points, but others chose the new summer additions to lead their teams.

Goodison News looks at what players scored for August, and who may make way in supporters' teams after the international break.

Jack Grealish and Michael Keane step up for Everton

Jack Grealish has hit the ground running since joining Everton on a season-long loan deal, with four assists in three matches.

The Englishman is the Toffees' top scorer in FPL, with 22 points, after his excellent displays against Brighton and Wolves to end an impressive August.

  • Jack Grealish - 22 points
  • Jordan Pickford - 18 points
  • Iliman Ndiaye - 17 points
  • James Tarkowski - 15 points
  • Michael Keane - 13 points

Michael Keane is another player who has come up good for Blues fans, as he has been thrust into the team following Jarrad Branthwaite's Everton injury woes.

The ex-Burnley man has notched 13 points, which is only two less than James Tarkowski, despite being selected by 0.6 per cent of players.

Depending on the extent of Branthwaite's issue, he may be a bargain addition for the next few weeks.

Beto and Carlos Alcaraz are failing to deliver points

Beto is selected by 3 per cent of players, but the Guinea-Bissau striker has only picked up a total of nine points from the first three matches.

There are currently 12 forwards with a higher points tally than the Blues star, so he will have to start picking up more points, if he wants to remain in supporters' teams.

Carlos Alcaraz is another who has notched a dismal points total, considering the role that he plays in Moyes' squad.

The Argentinian attacking midfielder is only selected by 0.1 per cent of players, despite being a relatively cheap option at £5.4million.

That is because he has notched only three points in three matches, and he needs to seriously up his contributions if he is to be in more people's teams going forward.
