Everton winger Demarai Gray is back
Still the Toffees’ top-scoring FPL player this season, Demarai Gray is back from illness in time to face Wolves and Newcastle in Double Gameweek 29.

Bruno Lage explains Max Kilman’s benching
Finally, Max Kilman had played every minute of Wolves’ league season up to Gameweek 27. Yet he was an unused substitute for Bruno Lage on Thursday night.
“Sometimes it’s a moment for a player to recover a little bit. I trust a lot in Max. I like, sometimes, to change some players and he’s played more than 30 games in a row, so sometimes you need to step back, recover and relax the pressure on your shoulders. He’ll return to the team for sure.”
