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

    Chances of robbo holding that CS?

  7. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    All the sold players delivering so far
    Hopefully Hazard gets a brace and Auba gets a red card

  10. diesel001

    TAA will probably be dropped now if Liverpool keep a CS today

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nah

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  12. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    With 3 baps, Salah is now top scorer of FPL

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      But but...one season wonder

    2. Rainer

      SELL SELL SELL

    3. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nice

    4. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth the money though (captaincy is so powerful)

    5. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling still has to play. As do Alonso, Hazard and Auba

    6. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Until other games start

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

    Hazard to Mane
    TAA to Robbo

    Confirmed

  14. DV8R

    Meltdown in 1 minute

  15. FPL Hitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Is 43 from 2 a good start to the GW?

    1. red devil 7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Can do better.

  16. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    To your faces, TAA owners GW 12 & 13

  17. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If TAA comes on, can he still get CS points?

    If he can, then an assist also and he’s equal to Robbo..

  18. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Need Auba to outscore Salah plz

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

  22. Rupert The Horse

    43 point swing for me .
    All because of price rises.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      How many points u on today?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        None.

  23. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Auba benched?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Seriously?

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Nope. Pushed wide!

  24. LSK
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Personally I don’t think Salah and Robertson as as bad picks as some people have been making out these past few weeks.

  25. FPL Forward Thinker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Milner the new regular right back - nailed.

  26. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Those who planned Salah out for next weekend: now what? Thinking I'll still ditch as it'll allow me Sterling and Sané. Thoughts?

    1. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping. Always keeping.

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      He has to haul every other game to keep up with the alternatives of ditching him, can't see him do that over the next 5

      After that I'll keep the door open if he finds form

    Nearly every player I got rid of before my GW15 wildcard has already got some attacking points and punished me.
    Jimenez
    Doherty
    Fraser
    Salah
    Robbo
    Milivojevic
    Hazard

  28. Hotdogs for Tea

    Sellers being punished ..

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years

      So Alonso will get returns....

  29. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Auba + Laca start

  30. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    God damn Robertson 🙁
