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

    13m player hauled for the 2nd time in 16 matches - Whoop dee doo !

        7 years, 4 months ago

        Hahahahaha

      • IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Is he not the highest point scorer in the game? Reliability for captaincy is invaluable

        1. el polako
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Might not be after GW is finished.

      • JohnnyMagrinho
          7 years, 4 months ago

          On course to get 250+ points this season. Definitely not worth it, no.

          1. el polako
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            So is Sterling for 2m less

            1. JohnnyMagrinho
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Didn't say he wasn't... that's completely immaterial. It's just ridiculous people are saying Salah isn't performing and isn't worth the money.

                Of course he was going to be that expensive and quite rightly so. If he keeps up how he's performing he'll only be 50 odd points behind his total score for last season. All that means is he's a couple of hauls away from matching his RIDICULOUS performance from last season.

                Bizarre we're even having this conversation. And yes, I have Sterling and not Salah.

          2. El-Kloppico
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Were you asleep during the 1st 15matches? He is joint best scorer if you don't know.
            What do you expect more?

            1. el polako
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              For 13m I would expect him to be way ahead of everyone else when it comes to points and he isnt.

              I

            Can get Salah for a hit. Yay or nay?

            1. Peter Ouch
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              No way

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                It sounds stupid, but sure is tempting.

            Salah just balancing the books for his 13m price. FPL towers know.

            • 14 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Any chance of a Laca hat trick to balance off the Salah horror show?

            1. Peter Ouch
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I hope so!

              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              This shouldn't be a question

            4. El-Kloppico
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              You mispell Auba there.

            5. Midlands Saint73
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Slim, hoping for goal and assist at least though.

            6. NWA
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              if only he could score 1 + 1 assist that would be enough. him blanking and that will be almost impossible to catch my ML rivals.

          8. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            There she is: 4-5-1

            Ryan
            Alonso | TAA | Doherty | AWB
            Salah | Sterling | Mane | Richarlison | Fraser
            Kane

            Button | Bennett | Success | Kamara

            1. Ghost Gooner
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Mane to Sane

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Next round of the FFS cup was this GW wasn't it?

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

              Yes, they skipped the midweek GW.

          10. Exeter Gently
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Anyone know the single highest gw score from a player? Suarez? RVP? Ivanovic? Baines? Lampard?

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

              Aguero vs Newcastle?

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

                Defoe scored 5 vs Wigan. That was good times

            2. Chucky
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Lamps against derby

            3. COLLIN QUANER
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Either Lampard or Salah

            4. bialk
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Walcott against Newcastle. 4 goals and an assist.

              1. Champ
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                I captained him. Happy night

            5. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Suarez vs Norwich I think. 4 goals and 2 assists?

            6. Peter Ouch
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Salah last year vs Watford.
              28 I think

            7. Goat
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Salah last year 29 points

            8. IRBOX ⚽
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Salah: 4 goals, 1 assist, clean sheet, 60+ mins, 3 bonus = 29 points

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

              I think last year Salah vs Watford 29 points. Captained him just like everyone else in that reduced gw and got 58 pts .

            10. Exeter Gently
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              The answer is Salah,

              29: Mo Salah - Liverpool 5-0 Watford, 4 goals and an assist, 18/03/2018

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

            My plan was to wildcard this week, but would have lost 1.0 mil team value. So I decided to wildcard in Friday. Of course I lost Robo and Salah...

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

            Hopefully this is the revenge of the fallen expensive assets.

            Your turn now Hazard...

              This!
              Last 5 PL hattricks have now come from Aguero, Salah, Aguero, Hazard, Salah and one of those is injured 😉

            3. Jindaljain
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Hazard will give 1 goal and assist I think so

          13. Boomerang V
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Bad day for a Salah seller like me.

            I guess all this Kane/Auba hype blinded us

          14. Whats the Huth
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            55 with 9 to go.

            1. IRBOX ⚽
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              *53 with 9, or 55 points with 8

            2. bialk
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              0 from 11 (including Kane's and La(c)a's hattricks)

            3. All de Gea no iDier
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Not what your linked team shows.

          15. JamieC180
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I know this may not be the time, but does anyone know how many points you receive for a goal from a keeper?

            Asking for a friend.

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

              6

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

              6 I think.

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

              10

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

              6, same as defender.

            5. HuttonDressedasLahm
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Not enough really
              Same points for a pen save, which in essence is just one save

            6. bigwig
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Should be 10

            7. Exeter Gently
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              One million

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              A free wildcard I heard

          16. MikeBravo
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Salah still needs to get a lot more points to get anywhere near last year's total, and at 13m, he's still not as good ppm/m as a lot of others.
            Let's hope for Liverpool that he had enough rest last week to cope with Napoli and United next week.

            1. Hotdogs for Tea
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              It’s the captaincy that kills you not owning such players

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Yep Mo's captaincy isn't that high this week.

          17. seewhyaxe
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            this is a strange game.

            i'm 0 of 0 yet i feel suicidal

          18. ClassiX
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            For -4, I can get the following team:
            Fab, Hamer
            Digne, TAA, Doherty, AWB, Peltier
            Salah, Sterling, Fraser, Richarli, Gunnarson
            Kane, Auba, Jimenez

            Worth it?

          19. HuttonDressedasLahm
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Must haves....
            Kane
            Salah
            Sterling (or Sané)
            Aubemeyamg (or Lacazette)

            4 captain options every week

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

              You missed Robertson

              1. HuttonDressedasLahm
                • 16 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Downgraded him to get Lacazette this week

              • 16 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Can’t have them all.

              I currently have 3 of them but no way I can afford Kane too.

                I have 4. My defence though, is awful

                  No need for expensive defence anyway. Looking at this defence if I WC today:

                  Doherty, Robertson, AWB, Kolasinac, Schindler

                  I’d be happy with that lot too.

                  Won’t get me Kane but I can do Richarlison to Son with that lot.

              Will Hazard Kane Auba and Sterling Do?

              In fairness, I was planning to WC today and was all set to get rid of Salah, as he hasn’t lived up to his price tag.

              Until this afternoon.

              Not only did he look like last season’s Salah, but Liverpool looked like the team we saw ripping teams a new one most of last season too.

              This has kind of changed things in a seismic way!

            Can't believe Robbo was at risk of dropping in price 😯 silly sellers

            People on WC what are you doing with Salah ? Can't gert rid now surely....

              Um.

              Keeping.

              Not sure I’m even wildcarding today now after all either.

              Was planning to get rid on wildcard this week and keep Hazard. Now I might have to ditch Hazard and find a way of squeezing Kane, Salah, Laca and Sterling into my team. Not sure if it'll be possible tbh

            Really hope Kane gets minimal brace as Salah non capper.
