Cantwell benched as Mousset returns to Sheff Utd starting line-up

Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) finds himself on the Norwich City bench as Gameweek 16’s Sunday matches get underway.

Daniel Farke has chosen to start Onel Hernández (£5.3m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m) on the flanks of attacking midfield, despite Cantwell finding the net in each of his last two Premier League matches.

With a smattering of no-shows in Saturday’s matches, most notably Sadio Mané (£12.3m), more Fantasy managers than usual were relying on Cantwell but as things stand they will have to wait for him to enter the fray.

However, there was better news in the Sheffield United camp as Lys Mousset (£5.1m) returned to the starting line-up following a midweek benching, which coincided with a poor 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

David McGoldrick (£5.4m) also returns to the two-man front-line after registering just 18 minutes against the Magpies.

The rest of the Sheffield United team remains as usual, with FPL darling John Lundstram (£5.2m) keeping his place in central midfield.

Leicester City manager usually tries to keep his teams largely the same from one match to the next but he has made three alterations for the trip to Aston Villa today.

Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) returns from injury to displace Christian Fuchs (£4.3m) at left-back while Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) and Dennis Praet (£5.3m) come in for Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.2m).

Most of the Aston Villa Fantasy assets are in place with Jack Grealish (£6.0m) still deployed on the left flank of the front-three and John McGinn (£5.8m) in central midfield.

However, Frédéric Guilbert (£4.4m) is on the bench with Ahmed El Mohamady (£4.2m) starting a second match in a row.

Finally, Danny Ings (£6.3m) has come through whatever Ralph Hasenhüttl was worried about midweek to start once again.

The Southampton manager hinted that he might have had some issues against Norwich although it was likely just a suffering of cramp.

“I was a little bit afraid because he had a little bit of a problem with his hamstring after the Norwich game, a little bit of cramp. With his history, it’s always dangerous for him.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

Newcastle make just one change from the win over Sheffield United, Joelinton (£5.7m) restored to the side in the place of Andy Carroll (£5.4m).

Aston Villa XI: Heaton; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Elmohamady; McGinn, D Luiz, Nakamba; Grealish, Wesley, El Ghazi.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; Maddison, Tielemans, Praet; Iheanacho, Vardy.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Byram, Godfrey, Zimmermann, Aarons; Tettey, Vrancic; O Hernández, McLean, Buendía; Pukki.

Sheff Utd XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Mousset, McGoldrick.

Newcastle XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Dummett, Fernández, Clark, Manquillo; Saint-Maximin, Hayden, Shelvey, Almirón; Joelinton.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Cédric; Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Djenepo; Ings, Long.

    Guaita Ryan
    Robbo Soy Lundy Rico Mings*
    Mane KDB Son Tielemans Cantwell
    Vardy Tammy Mousset

    I already have 2 transfers penciled in. First Tielemans > Grealish for GW17, then Mings > another defender for GW18. I'll have 5.1 to spend, who's the best candidate?
    A. Willems (my personal favorite)
    B. Aurier (not a fan)
    C. Kelly (giving me money to do Mousset > Ings - but SOU's good fixtures will be over by then)
    D. Someone else

    Maybe I should just focus on improving my bench. Twice in the last 3weeks I’ve needed an autosub and both times I’ve gotten 1pointers. Cantwell and Saiss. Earlier in the season was the same with terrible subs coming in.

      Matheus Pereira would be a good shout. 1goal and 4assists today 😉

    I was kinda hoping Lundy would get his 5th yellow today. Don't want him to get it in GW17 then get suspended for GW18...

    Zaha to Maddison worth a hit? I guess the answer is no...

      The amount of people in earlier comments asking who they should change Maddison to *shakes head*

        You read it wrong? I'm thinking of bringing Maddison IN.
