He scored three goals over his first two matches since rejoining manager Marco Silva and got called up for Brazil. Then, due to a head lunge at Adam Smith against Bournemouth last week, the winger picked up a red card and will now miss the next two matches. As the Goal game does not involve a bench, keeping a suspended player just isn\u2019t feasible, so let\u2019s take a look at the best candidates to replace Richarlison.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wilfried Zaha &#8211; Midfielder, Crystal Palace, \u00a37.3m, owned in 16.67% of teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Click Here: <a href='https:\/\/www.storeafl.com\/brisbane-lions-mens-home-guernsey-2019.html' title='brisbane lions guernsey 2019'>brisbane lions guernsey 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Despite not playing up front as many would have hoped, Zaha has still managed to score in two of his three matches thus far. He has been lacking in creative stats (no accurate crosses and just one chance created last week) but he may turn around sooner rather than later. The interesting piece in this equation, though, is Christian Benteke.<\/p>\n<p>If the Belgian performs poorly it hurts everyone\u2019s assist numbers but, if the former plays poorly enough, Zaha could see himself played upfront more which would cause his value to skyrocket. Considering Palace face a bottom 10 defence in each of the next two weeks, Zaha looks the best immediate replacement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Callum Wilson &#8211; Forward, Bournemouth, \u00a37.2m, owned in\u00a02.59%\u00a0of teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lots of people thought Josh King would be the Bournemouth player to own this season but, instead, it\u2019s Wilson who\u2019s stolen the limelight. He is currently racking up elite level underlying statistics ranking top five in shots on target (6), shot accuracy (50%), and touches in the box (29).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Add in his two goals and three assists and you\u2019re looking at a bona fide Fantasy stud. It\u2019s understandable if you want to wait until after the Chelsea match to bring him in, but this may well be the cheapest Wilson will be all season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lucas Moura &#8211; Midfielder, Tottenham, \u00a37.1m, owned in\u00a02.21%\u00a0of teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Guess who leads all Tottenham players in scoring in the Goal game? Quick hint: It\u2019s not Kane or Eriksen. No, it\u2019s Lucas Moura &#8211;\u00a0who tops the heap with 24 points. He could end up scoring plenty more in coming weeks as well seeing as he has played level with, or further up the pitch than Kane in each of the last three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas\u2019 three goals makes him joint-top in the league and, while he is not a volume shooter, he gets high percentage opportunities due to his pace, like a midfield Jamie Vardy. His coming fixtures aren\u2019t easy but he\u00a0can cause problems for even the best defences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aleksandar Mitrovic &#8211; Forward, Fulham, \u00a37.0m, owned in\u00a06.97%\u00a0of teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned in our Team of the Week article, Mitrovic has scored 15 goals in just 21 matches since he joined Fulham last January. In fact, in the top four English leagues, only Mohamed Salah has scored more goals since then (17). As for this season, he\u2019s tied for the most goals in 2018-19 with three and also leads the league in shots on target (7).<\/p>\n<p>He has a difficult five-match run coming up but, if he continues to perform through it, Mitrovic will likely deserve a spot in your team afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theo Walcott &#8211; Midfielder, Everton, \u00a36.8m, owned in\u00a04.98%\u00a0of teams<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Of the available in-house options, Walcott has the most buzz in the Fantasy community, which is certainly understandable as only Richarlison has taken part in as many goals as the Englishman (3). With the former being suspended for the next two Premier League matches, Walcott\u2019s starting spot is almost guaranteed and his role should increase as well.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unlikely the Everton\u2019s attack, which only ranked 14th in expected goals with the Brazilian, will improve without him. If you want to retain an Everton player Walcott is as good as any, but there are better options on other teams.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Fantasy writer breaks down five players who can fill in for the Brazilian and keep your team ticking including stars from Spurs, Fulham and more Everything was going well for Richarlison.
