OCTOBER 1, 2022 • Associated Press

Records game-winning helper Iwobi assisted once to go with three crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Southampton.

Impact Iwobi delivered an excellent cross into Dwight McNeil during the 54th minute to help put his Everton side ahead for good in this contest. Fantasy points weren't terribly easy to come by Saturday in Southampton, but the assist certainly helped salvage Iwobi's output on this particular afternoon. The midfielder is now up to three assists in eight appearances (all starts) this EPL season.

Picks up assist in win Iwobi registered one assist, two shots (zero on target) and one cross (inaccurate) versus West Ham United on Sunday.

Impact Iwobi has forced his way into manager Frank Lampard's squad to start this season with seven straight starts in which he has garnered two assists, six shots (one on target) and 15 tackles (seven won). Despite the strong performances, Iwobi may find himself watching from the bench after the international break now that Abdoulaye Doucoure is fit and Idrissa Gueye has been added to the squad.

Creates four chances Iwobi had one shot (zero on goal) and four chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Iwobi created four chances moving him to eight total in the opening three matches. The midfielder has yet to earn an assist with those eight chances created, speaking to the poor finishing around him. Despite that, with excellent volume he should find himself blowing past his two assists from the previous two campaigns with Everton.

Secures place in starting XI Iwobi started 12 straight matches to close out the 2021-22 campaign in which he registered one goal on six shots (one on target), one assist and 17 crosses (eight accurate).

Impact Under new manager Frank Lampard, Iwobi appeared to rediscover his form and secured his place as a mainstay in the starting XI. While places on the pitch will be at a premium, especially if Donny van de Beek can be secured on a permanent transfer, Iwobi should be a regular starter for the Toffees next year. As such, he figures to offer solid top-half fantasy value.

JUNE 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Registered six crosses Iwobi had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (five accurate), and one corner in Wednesday's 0-0 tie to Watford.

Impact Iwobi may not have led the team in crosses but he certainly made his opportunities count as he racked up a team-high five chances created. Despite the winger's best attempts, he still couldn't help his side break the 0-0 deadlock. Both Iwobi and Demari Gray could be in danger of losing their spot in the starting XI if Dominic Calvert-Lewin features against Brentford on Sunday.

Earns assist in win Iwobi recorded one assist, one cross (accurate) and two tackles (one won) in Sunday's 2-1 win over Leicester City.

Impact Iwobi has technically been playing in a right-back role over the last two games but it's been more of a wing-back spot while Everton deployed a back-three. If that continues, Iwobi could be a top-half fantasy target versus Watford on Wednesday given his ability to push the attack.

JANUARY 23, 2022 • Associated Press

Joins Nigeria for AFCON Iwobi will be with the Nigerian national team for the Africa Cup of Nations. As a result, he figures to miss at least the next three games for Everton.

Impact Iwobi has featured in just seven of his 13 appearances for the Toffees this season in which he has registered one goal on 14 shots (five on target), one assist and 10 crosses (three accurate). With Dominic Calvert-Lewin back in the squad, Iwobi may be hard-pressed to secure regular minutes even once back with the squad.

Impact Iwobi missed the match before the break, but it looks like he's good to go again. Prior to that, he was on back-to-back starts, but with Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin edging closer to health, he could return to his bench role moving forward.

Impact This is a surprise update and a relevant one since Iwobi has started the last two matches on the wing. If he can't go Saturday, Anthony Gordon is an option to start if they want to keep their same formation in a tough spot.
