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

    Salah should be sent into space for that goal.

      • 16 Years

      Why?

      1. Marvin.

    3. Four Hit Wonder

      • mrwinner
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Salah is a horrible, horrible man. He should not have allowed the referee to award his offside goal

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

      • Win'dian
        • 9 Years

      • Garlana
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Surely you would prefer Robertson to keep CS get max bonus and attacking returns?

      Liverpool aint keeping a clean sheet here

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years

    7. WVA
      • 9 Years

      I'm still selling Salah for Mane next week so I can upgrade Hojbjerg to Mahrez!

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Mahrez is a trap, don’t buy him, I bought him and he didn’t start all 4 of the games I owned him.

    8. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Im still confident my Robertson/Salah/Arnie to Mina/Sterling/Auba this week for a -8 will pay off in long term

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        U think?

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nah.

      3. HNI
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Just dont panic buy salah before Jan 2 and then only will pay off. Only 1 match were salah can score bucket loads. newC home. Sterling has 3 in which he can score many in that time period

      4. Win'dian
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Won't mind if it doesn't pay off this week

      5. TerryVenables
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Selling Salah and Robertson in a -8 lolll

      Dodged a bullet there!

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I took the bullet right to the face

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Lucky procrastination

    10. HNI
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Current world number should slide fast. His tranfer was moura to torreira! Hope his luck runs out soon as such a brash number 1. Used his tc chip as well so there is hope

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ignore no1 this time of the year

        1. HNI
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          But his lead is mammoth! So it helps crazy hopefuls like me who have a 1/1000 chance lol

      2. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years

        that's what happens when you play in fear

      Liked the way that mascot covered its face as if he was skiving off work but would somehow get recognised wearing a full body jigsaw peice and mask.

    13. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It's as if some people have never seen an offside goal before.

    14. Rainer

      The next Lfc goal will be huge for me as a Salah Bobby owner

      1. Typo
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Why not this goal?

        1. Vamos Los Celeste
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not enough

    16. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fabinho and Firmino playing is really confusing the pronunciation of the radio 5 commentators

    17. Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What are the chances of TAA coming in?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Very slim.

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

        Decent chance.

        Klopp will want Milner for Tuesday so maybe a late rest for him.

        1. Mysterion
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Hendo on and Fabinho to RB 😉

      3. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ok I'll go with 50/50 to give you the full list of options.

      What a header from Alisson,

    20. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The King has fallen!

        Check mate? That you Magnus Carlsen?

    21. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      God VAR will be the object of so much vitriol on here next year. I can already see it.

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I don't see the point of postponing it

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Administratively it makes sense I guess? Plus everyone and their dog will be complaining about how unfair it is to implement it halfway through the season when they've already lost points due to dodgy calls. As it is, I think I remember reading that they're testing VAR this season, just not actually using it, so when they bring it in next season it will work better. That was their excuse anyway...

    22. J T
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why didn’t Salah tell hold his hands up and say he was offside?
      #SterlingGate

      1. XabiAlonso
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Still suffering with that shoulder injury. Blame Ramos

        1. J T
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Fair comment

    23. JustPark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This offside goal isn't fun.
      How the heck a league with such magnitude doesn't implement VAR?

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Oh this again.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        It will next season.

      3. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        You think it will get better with VAR? Not sure these same refs can be helped with slow-mo.

        1. Regin
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Watch the Bundesliga games. See how it is implemented.

        2. JustPark
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I can imagine the ref going "hold up let me get my glasses on"

      So keepers have different set of rules when it comes to fouls? Ffs, he was flying into the player knees first...

      1. SirStevieG
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He won the ball fair and square.

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

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He won the header, as everyone on the pitch agreed.

      3. Four Hit Wonder
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, a bit different. But he was the first on the ball.

        Forwards beware.

        Salah and Liverpool have done nothing except score that offside goal.

          Turn it on in the second half just as with Burnley.

            First time without since start of last season. Liverpool fan. Mixed emotions.
