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

    With yet to get a transfer decision completely right, I'm at the point where FPL isn't fun anymore. Actually considering quitting the season and trying again next season.

      Bye

    2. Ghost Gooner

      Stick it out and learn from mistakes then come back stronger next season

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Hope I can. It's just one of those seasons where every decision either turns out a mistake or mediocre.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Auba I think

    2. Weilong7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      think is auba

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

      Laca better %

  9. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Non-Salah owners dropped about 500k places in OR

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Live OR*

  10. Differential C (Mark)

    Full time at Dean Court. Two players, 32 points.
    Get in.

    When your live rank shows you haven't changed positions, you know you're in trouble

  12. makaveli123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Begovic to grab all bps

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Well he missed all the goals

  13. McDog
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else got an Auba and Laca double up ?

    1. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Here! Only chance of getting something from this GW is a massive haul from both.

      1. McDog
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah hoping Arsenal run riot

        1. TAT
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          It's now they need to. Decent fixtures ahead, EL where they've won the group etc.

    2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      My ML Rival! I've gone Laca (C) but no Auba, he's got both and Auba (C)

  14. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    47 from 2

    I’ll take that

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      53 incl bps. That's a lot of points to make up...

  15. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Finally! Phew..

  16. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Scintillating

  17. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Pay premium for Robbo over TAA and get rewarded.

    I’ve gone Laca over Auba.

    Hopefully the theory of paying premium doesn’t hold true.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      It will. Auba is explosive.

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Bournemouth players queuing up to shake Salah's hand.

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      think it'll be Hazard to Salah

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Surely not

  20. HD7

    Fab
    Digne Robbo Alonso Bellerin
    Salah Richa FAnderson Camarasa
    Kane Arnie

    Subs: Button, WanB, Kenedy, Success,

    Need a forward like Mitrovic next GW to play 4-3-3 in the mext GWs

    A)Salah Success to Sterling Mitro (-4)
    B) Alonso Success to Laporte Mitro (-4)
    C) Save and Play Success

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why sell Salah?

    2. clodhopper
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Dont you think Sterling scores more in next 4-5 GWs?

  21. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Only a Kola hat-trick and assist will save my GW

  22. weaver93
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Sold Salah for Sterling this week..
    Will monitor Alonso, might swap him for Kola,
    then Barkley back to Salah...

  23. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Planned on Salah to Sterling for next weekend but that’s not happening now. Hopefully no injuries and I can finally save a transfer this GW.

    1. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Same, very worried that Everton's defence has been good vs Top 6

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Exactly the same plans for me

    3. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      And me can't do it now

  24. Doolittle
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Fallen from 20k to 50k within 90 minutes of playing my WC. God I hate this game sometimes.

  25. bialk
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    From 2k to 7k after 1 game played.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

  26. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Someone asked me who they should capt, I said Salah. They called me a clown. I am laughing so maybe I does make me a clown after all 🙂

  27. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Nothing to worry about for non Salah owners.

    Only approx. 750k captained him. 🙂

    Declaring the replies to this comment as a safe space for all of those like myself who have had Salah all season but sold prior to this gameweek.

    1. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Gosh darn it.
