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

    For those not watching the game, that goal shows Salah is now bang on form and looking electric.

    What an absolute bell.

    Doesn't score more than 1 the whole season, then goes and gets a hattie.

      Yep. Really classless behaviour from Salah considering the patience many of us sellers have shown him through the past 4 months. Those idiot Bournemouth CBs just as bad.

    Switching to Salah captaining last minute and feeling really smug. Then noticing you haven't actually saved the selection *slow clap* hope rest on Kane

    When Auba and Laca play together, what's the positioning like?

    Presumably Auba isn't wide like say Fraser or Sane, but more like a pool forward. Haven't watched arsenal since an early gw.
