Henderson returns for the Blades as Wolves hand start to £4.0m FPL defender

There are four Premier League matches taking place today, with the first double-header kicking off at 14:00 GMT.

Fresh from their win over Everton, Norwich City take on an Arsenal side who are under the stewardship of Freddie Ljungberg for the first time.

Meanwhile, at Molineux, sixth hosts seventh as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Sheffield United.

The Blades welcome back Dean Henderson (£4.7m) and John Egan (£4.5m) for this encounter, with the pair returning from ineligibility and injury respectively.

Understudies Simon Moore (£4.4m) and Phil Jagielka (£4.2m) make way, while there is another run-out up front for the in-form Lys Mousset (£5.1m).

Wolves have made only one change and it is an enforced one, at that: budget Fantasy Premier League defender Max Kilman (£4.0m) gets his first start at centre-half as Romain Saiss (£4.4m) is suspended.

Raul Jimenez (£7.7m), the most-bought player of Gameweek 14, starts again in attack.

Interim Arsenal boss Ljungberg has made four changes from Unai Emery’s final Premier League line-up.

Having made his return from exile in the Europa League on Thursday night, Granit Xhaka (£5.2m) is back in a Premier League starting XI for the first time since that ill-fated draw with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 10.

Having impressed against Eintracht Frankfurt, Shkodran Mustafi (£5.2m) makes his first league start of 2019/20.

Joe Willock (£4.9m) and Sead Kolasinac (£5.3m) are also recalled as Kieran Tierney (£5.4m), Lucas Torreira (£4.7m) and Sokratis Papastathopoulos (£5.0m) are named on the bench, along with Nicolas Pepe (£9.1m).

Hector Bellerin (£5.4m) misses out through injury.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m) and Alexandre Lacazette (£9.3m) will again lead the line.

Norwich’s team news is far more straightforward, with Ibrahim Amadou (£4.5m) replacing Alex Tettey (£4.5m) in midfield.

Jamal Lewis (£4.5m) returns from injury but is only among the substitutes, while Todd Cantwell (£4.6m) has shaken off an ankle injury to start.


Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Godfrey, Zimmermann, Byram, Amadou, Trybull, Hernandez, Cantwell, McLean, Pukki.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Chambers, Mustafi, David Luiz, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Willock, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette.

Wolves XI: Patricio, Dendoncker, Coady, Kilman, Doherty, Neves, Moutinho, Jonny, Adama, Jimenez, Jota.

Sheffield United XI: Henderson, Stevens, O’Connell, Egan, Basham, Baldock, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Mousset, McGoldrick.

    Cantwell Dunk Kelly on my bench

    Would you have started any of them ?

    Pope 4.0

    Mane KDB Pulisic Tielemens

      No.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      no, just shows this game is about luck

    3. SHOOTER MCGINN
      • 8 Years

      No, statistically the correct decision. I was just thinking how my gut feeling was that Cantwell could do well, but there was no way I would ever play him over my other front 7.

      I'm not fussed when my bench players do well, but it's annoying when people get autosubs with Cantwell coming in for their poor choices!

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Im well set for Christmas period though

        They are all good options to come off the bench when a big hitter get surprise rest 😉

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 5 Years

      No, you did evertying logical so no need to look back. It is only pain.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years

        Cheers mate

  2. Camzy

    Sigh Cantwell. I didn't want to get rid but I switched to playing 5 in midfield so got rid for Pulisic.

    It's fine. I'm fine. I swear.

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

      Glad you’re fine

    2. Ze_Austin

      *hugs*

  3. Over Midwicket

    Lys Mousset getting harder to ignore. He's basically Lundstram but a striker. Ridiculously cheap and amazing fixtures.. Enables a "power 5".

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Enables severe bench headaches too

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, I have both him and Lundstram on my bench

      2. pablo discobar
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        No such thing in December

      3. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        However, there's this

      4. F4L
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        that's a good thing!

      5. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Not if you use him as a 7th attacker as you should

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Got him for Tammy but benched him for Lundstram

      Standard

      1. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Why not just hold Tammy then lol

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      5 goals in 70 for Bournemouth.

      Would be a big punt to be a starter.

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Seriously considering ditching Lacazette straight back out the door for Mousset after this.

      As you say, would allow me Mane KDB Son/Alli and 2 from Pulisic Maddison Mount or people at that price

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

      We can already afford a power 5

  4. bench boost for every gamew…
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Always play the attacker is a sayin around here. Had Cantwell first bench until emeey sacked. Awful to sit next 45 hoping for a Sheffield cs

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

    Auba owner. Inconsistency re encroachment ridiculous. Vergonghen last season, anyone?

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

      Stated before this season that the rule would be enforced more this season.

  6. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hoping for a Vardy blank

  7. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Kelly, Lund and Cantwell on my bench 🙁

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

      He’ll likely concede but really never bench Lund

  8. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years

    So who is thinking of getting Tammy straight back in if fit for midweek- at least I have 2 transfers to get him ( swap back from Lacazette) and Son

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

      Do we have news? Flagged has gone down from 50 to 25% chance of playing!?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Nothing confirmed yet

      2. Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        bunch of clowns control the flags, wouldn't take what they do seriously.

  10. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    just need a Leicester 0-0 which won't happen.

  11. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I just saw the penalty situation with Auba. I know a few players entered the box before the shot, but was Aarons one of them ? It looked like his feet were out of the box or on the line. Maybe the penalty was taken again because some of the other players ?

    1. gaurava1216
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      yes aarons was and cleared the ball... hence re take.

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

      "VAR protocol does not allow an encroachment check for players on edge of area unless they directly impact on the outcome, as the defender does here to clear the ball. VAR can then check this and in this case correctly award a retake.

      Had goal been scored VAR would not have"

      Bobby Madley on Twitter.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Body also counts.

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      yes, he was the second furthest into the box, and he was the one who cleared the ball. Right decision.

    5. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks lads.

  12. gaurava1216
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mount out for Zaha?

    1. Baked baines
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ssssssssssh, he's quietly going under the radar.

    2. zdrojo187
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Not yet,after Villa...

      1. gaurava1216
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Lamps may go back to 4-3-3 which mean Mount misses out?

    3. AFBS_1991
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think the same... But a 6.6 mid from a big6 team is hard to find.

  13. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    How come Auba has deducted points for this penalty?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Refresh your page?

      1. Atimis

        Thanks 😉

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He doesn't?

  14. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Arsenal's defence.
    Kolasinac - Bundesliga wing back who can't go back towards his own goal
    Mustafi - Meme
    David Luiz - Defence liability who was shielded in back 3's
    Chambers - Twice relegated

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Protected by Xhaka. A complete idiot.

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

      Tierney - can actually defend... snug on the bench.

  15. sandman58

    Can all casuals please sell Salah so he will drop .1
    Thanks

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Don’t think Salah owners are active anymore.

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Too good a player to be quiet for too long
        Form temporary
        Class permanent

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years

          Form temporary

        2. Pukki Blinders

          2 season wonder

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      If all casuals sell him, he'll have 0% ownership

      1. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Major differential then

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone here old enough to remember when Salah was good ?

      1. Naby K8a
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He's playing through an injury.

  16. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    Lundstram is going to get booked in GW17 to screw everyone with Liverpool & West Ham players isn’t he

    1. Rainer

      Would you expect anything else in FPL? 😀

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years

      Got a strong bench, so I hope so!

    3. gaurava1216

      1. Rainer

        He’s the ex-Fulham lamppost, right?

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

          Yea, pretty good pundit, harsh on lazyness and poor defending and speaks very straight all the time.

    2. TAT

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

      Tomori, Villa should dominate attacking set pieces.

    2. gaurava1216

      Mount

    A B or C?

    A) Mount out Zaha in

    come on Lunds do your thing

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Calma. Clean sheet is enough. At that price you dont need to score or assist every game

  28. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Why the hell did Arsenal even bother getting a class defender like Tierney if they aren't going to effing play him over Kolasinac?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Is he class? He's signed from a league the equivalent of English League 1.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hes not looked class so far, looks like he fits right into an Arsenal defense.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Tierney is not ready imo. Needs time to get used to the league. Gave the pen away last weekend.

  29. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Patricio and Henderson best keepers in the league?

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Alisson Plays cricket?

      1. have you seen cyan

        basketball I think, looked like it yesterday

  30. Top Lad Dakes.

    Lacazette and Jimenez blanks confirmed then.

    🙂
