Impact Doucoure set up Dwight McNeil's early goal on Saturday with his first assist of the season.

Scores goal against Forest Doucoure scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) and three chances created in Sunday's 2-2 draw versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Doucoure logged his first goal of the 2022-23 Premier League. Ever since February, he has been part of Everton's starting XI in all games the Toffees have played. So now, Doucoure is expected to be a much more promising option, though frequently goal scoring should still not be expected.

Creates chance in Carabao Cup Doucoure created one chance during Tuesday's 4-1 Carabao Cup loss to Bournemouth.

Impact Doucoure's inclusion in the squad will bolster Lampard's midfield options after Anthony Gordon (suspension) picked up his fifth yellow card of the season. While Doucoure isn't a one-for-one replacement for Gordon, he could step into the middle of the pitch and allow Alex Iwobi to play a wider role in Gordon's absence.

Comes off bench Doucoure made a brief nine-minute cameo appearance versus West Ham United on Sunday.

Impact Doucoure was back on the pitch for the first time since Aug. 13 versus Aston Villa when he suffered a hamstring injury, a stretch of four matches on the shelf. With some new additions to the squad since he last featured, including Idrissa Gueye and James Garner, Doucoure is far from guaranteed a place in the starting XI. Still, if Doucoure does reclaim his spot on the pitch, he should offer decent mid-range fantasy value, especially in formats that value tackles of which he had five (four won) in the season opener.

Available for selection Doucoure (hamstring) will be in contention against West Ham United on Sunday, Manager Frank Lampard told reporters, "Doucs is fit to be in the squad."

Impact Doucoure has been sidelined since Aug. 13 versus Aston Villa, a stretch of four matches out. How the midfielder fits into the squad will need to be monitored by fantasy owners with the additions of Idrissa Gueye, Amadou Onana and James Garner. Still, Doucoure's ability to play box-to-box should help him reclaim a spot in the starting XI once back up to full match fitness.

Out around three weeks Doucoure (hamstring) will miss up to three weeks, according to manager Frank Lampard.

Impact It's a normal hamstring injury for Doucoure, which isn't the worst thing in the world. He'll have to work daily to get back his health and fitness and if all goes well, he could truly be back in three weeks. Once available, his role in the side could have some questions, as new signing Amadou Onana is expected to take up his minutes.

Impact Doucoure has seemingly avoided a serious injury but even minor muscular issues often require at least a week or 10 days to recover from. Tom Davies, who replaced Doucoure for the rest of the contest, could make his first start of the season Saturday against Nottingham Forest pending the status of Doucoure.

Forced off in first half Doucoure was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match with Aston Villa due to a leg injury.

Impact Doucoure lasted 35 minutes before succumbing to what looked like a hamstring injury and being replaced by Tom Davies. The midfielder will hope to avoid serious injury to return in time for next week's clash with Nottingham Forest.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes five tackles in loss Doucoure made five tackles (four won) and took two shots (one on goal) during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Doucoure recorded 75 tackles last season and is well on his way if his team are pinned back like they were for a fair chunk of this game. As a defensive-midfielder, his value isn't likely to be tremendously high but he should still be a regular member of the starting lineup.

Comes off injured against Arsenal Doucoure was subbed out of Sunday's clash against Arsenal in the 37th minute after suffering an apparent injury.

Impact Doucoure was replaced by Donny Van de Beek in midfield on Sunday. Barring a serious injury, the midfielder should be available for the start of the 2022-23 campaign. On the season, Doucoure registered two goals and four assists in 30 Premier League appearances (29 starts), while making 75 tackles, 28 interceptions and 30 clearances. While the bulk of Doucoure's value will come from defensive stats, he does occasionally get further forward in the attack and should be a mainstay in the starting XI for the Toffees if he can stay fit.

Goes full 90 in defeat Doucoure had one chance created and two tackles won in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Manchester City.

Impact Despite missing the prior month with a groin injury, Doucoure somehow managed to go a full 90 against Man City. He's clearly in Frank Lampard's plans going forward and when everyone is healthy, the midfield trio of Doucoure, Allan and Donny van de Beek may be what he uses after almost taking a point from Man City on Saturday.
