Wilson injured and Alexander-Arnold benched for Gameweek 16 opener

Callum Wilson (£7.0m) has been left out of Bournemouth’s starting XI as Liverpool come to the Vitaliy Stadium for the lunch-time kick-off.

The striker has picked up an injury that was not revealed by Eddie Howe in his most recent press conference.

It is a big story for the Fantasy community as Wilson was looked at as a replacement for the recently injured Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m).

Meanwhile, Junior Stanislas (£6.0m) comes in for Wilson and it’s currently unclear whether it’s him or David Brooks (£5.2m) up front alongside Josh King (£6.3m).

Equally, there was Fantasy disappointment in the Liverpool camp with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.4m) benched. It is currently unclear whether it’s Fabinho (£5.5m) or James Milner (£5.6m) is playing at right-back.

Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m) keeps his place in the team and looks to be joining Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) in the front three.

Bournemouth XI: Begovic; Daniels, Ake, S Cook, Francis; Stanislas, Lerma, Surman, Fraser; Brooks; King.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Fabinho, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Shaqiri, Mohamed Salah, Firmino

    How are non Salah owners going to knee-jerk him back in? Hits galore!

      I have 2.5 itb.. but only sterling in that price range to move to salah.. not sure I want to do that!

    Nooo Mane, stay away from that goal. Sold you for a hit

    1. KAPO KANE
      • 7 Years

    As a Salah non-owner I'm a bit peeved that he wasn't called offside for his first goal, but fair play for his second goal, stayed on his feet after a nasty challenge and could've went down but stayed on his feet, and the finish was class.

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’ll agree to this

    2. KAPO KANE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't want Milner to take pen

  8. KAPO KANE

    Best way to kneejerk Salah in here?

    Ryan
    Alonso | TAA | Doherty
    Hazard | Sterling | Richarlison | Fraser | Kenedy
    Kane | Auba

    Button | AWB | Bennett | Success

    Rather Mane not be in the squad than on the bench for this reason. At least more than 5 mins to do something.
