Eight crosses in big win Gray took two shots (one on target), sent in eight crosses (one accurate) and added three corners during Saturday's 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace. He also won one tackle and one...

Impact Gray was busy from the opening kickoff and left the pitch to a nice ovation from the home supporters. Although he didn't find the score sheet, he contributed in just about every other way to an important, commanding victory for his Everton side. He was relieved in the 73rd by Dwight McNeil. On the league season, Gray is sending in just shy of seven crosses per match and is an important part of the Toffees' attacking cohort.

Contained at Tottenham defeat Gray took one shot (zero on target) and sent in three crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. He added one clearance.

Impact As the score indicates, Everton played from the back foot and failed to create any true danger within the final third Saturday. Generally speaking, it was a disappointing outing for Toffees' fantasy prospects, and Gray's output was no exception. His next opportunity to rebound comes Wednesday at Newcastle.

Busy in away win Gray took four shots (two on target), sent in six crosses (three accurate) and delivered three corners during Saturday's 2-1 victory over Southampton.

Impact Although he didn't officially find the score sheet in this contest, Gray did a little bit of everything else. He was also once again his squad's preferred set piece option from both sides. Assuming he retains this role going forward and his utilization within the attack remains similar, Gray will be a fantasy-friendly option most times Everton take the pitch.

Launches 11 crosses Gray recorded 11 crosses (two accurate), four corners and one shot (on target) in Sunday's 1-0 win over West Ham United.

Impact Gray has seemingly cemented himself as the preferred corner taker for the club, having accounted for 65 percent of the club's corners to start the year. Additionally, the forward leads the team with 44 crosses and is unlikely to concede a place in the starting XI any time soon.

Scores in draw Gray scored one goal to go with six shots (three on goal), 12 crosses (one accurate), and five corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest.

Impact Gray scored his first goal of the campaign during a hectic, six-shot performance. The forward finally showed some aggression shooting on sight and ending up with 12 crosses during the draw as well. This sort of volume would make Gray an elite fantasy option though the chances of him consistently getting this sort of volume are slim, especially against teams that will likely offer more attacking threat to the Everton midfield.

AUGUST 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 81 minutes Gray took two shots (one on goal), crossing three times inaccurately and creating a chance during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Aston Villa.

Impact Gray finished with the second highest amount of chances created on the team while tying for the team-high in shots and chances created. Gray also took three of Everton's seven corner kicks before subbing off in the 81st minute.

AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Creates one chance in loss Gray created one chance from five crosses (one accurate) during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Gray was more active than most but what the team really needed was a striker and Gray isn't often capable of providing that role. It's still worth looking to Gray for his creative ability and a role on set pieces, but the presence of Dwight McNeil on the other flank could see more sharing of the attacking responsibilities. In both cases, the lack of Dominic Calvert-Lewin still leaves Gray and his teammates short of a devoted goalscorer.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team in crosses Gray recorded 129 crosses (34 accurate) this season, leading the team this season.

Impact It was a successful return to Premier League for Gray who spent the previous campaign playing for Bayer Leverkusen. While the attacking midfielder was far from a lock for the starting XI, he did feature in 28 of his 34 appearances for the club this season and should continue to offer top-half fantasy value next year.

Assists as substitute Gray had an assist with his lone chance created while crossing twice (one accurate) during Thursday's 3-2 win over Crystal Palace.

Impact Gray entered the match in the 61st minute and set up Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the 85th for the game winning goal. The assist was the fourth of the season for the attacker as he made the most of his time on the pitch.

MAY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Generates 10 crosses Gray had three shots (zero on goal), 10 crosses (four accurate), and eight corners in Wednesday's 0-0 tie against Watford.

Impact Gray led the team in both crosses and corners, serving as the primary option on setpieces before being subbed off in the 77th minute. With Dominic Calvert-Lewin working his way back into full fitness, Gray could be in danger of losing his spot in the starting XI despite Wednesday's strong performance.

MAY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Takes only corner Gray took Everton's lone corner against Leicester City on Sunday. In addition, the midfielder recorded one shot (off target), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created.

Impact Gray has started four straight matches for the Toffees in which he registered one assist, nine shots (one on target), five crosses (three accurate) and two corners. While Gray should see opportunities on freekicks, that responsibility has been falling more to Anthony Gordon over the last five weeks.

Liverpool beats Everton 2-0 in derby, quad bid still alive

Three shots in loss Gray shot three times (none on goal) during Sunday's 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

Impact Gray shot three times though none troubled Alisson. The forward hasn't put a shot on goal in six appearances despite taking 13 shots in that time. Gray will hope to trouble the keeper more often next time out against Chelsea in what will likely be another tough match.

APRIL 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records three shots Wednesday Gray registered three shots (zero on target), one cross (accurate) and two interceptions against Leicester City on Wednesday.

Impact Gray was back in the starting XI after having come on as a substitute in his prior two contests. Even with Gray back on the pitch, Anthony Gordon continued to serve as the team's corner taker, reducing Gray's fantasy value. In fact, with Deli Alli and Donny van de Beek waiting in the wings, Gray is far from a lock for the starting XI versus Liverpool on Sunday.

APRIL 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Whips in seven crosses Gray took two off target shots, crossed seven times (two accurate) and created two chances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to West Ham.

Impact Gray was held off the scoresheet but was active in attack for Everton on Sunday. The attacker finished with the third highest amount of shots and chances created on the team while leading Everton with seven crosses in the loss.

Starting against Wolves Gray (illness) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Gray is back in the squad Sunday after playing 13 minutes over the last month. It's unknown how well he's feeling, so a full 90 probably shouldn't be expected. That said, he's always in play for set pieces and should get opportunities at home.

MARCH 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

In contention Sunday Gray (illness) could be an option versus Wolverhampton on Sunday. Manager Frank Lampard told reporters, "He hasn't been well but he's back in training now at Finch Farm and is hope...

Impact Gray has featured in just one of Everton's previous four contests due to illness and injury. When fit, the attacking midfielder has started 19 of his 21 appearances for the club. Still, with the emergence of Anthony Gordon, Gray could struggle to make his way back into the starting XI right away.

MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Monday Gray (illness) will miss Monday's matchup with Tottenham.

Impact After being sidelined for the club's mid-week FA Cup contest against Boreham Wood, Gray once again finds himself left out of the squad. With Gray unavailable, Anthony Gordon will continue featuring in a wide role and could challenge for a spot in the starting XI even once Gray is deemed fit.
