Wilson back in Bournemouth squad as Hanley starts for Norwich

Callum Wilson (£7.4m) returns to the Bournemouth matchday squad ahead of a Gameweek 18 meeting with Burnley.

After missing out against Chelsea, the centre-forward is named on the bench this afternoon.

Joshua King (£6.1m) leads the line in the starting line-up though, supported by a five-man midfield with Lewis Cook (£5.0m) and Ryan Fraser (£6.9m) on the flanks.

Meanwhile, Charlie Taylor (£4.2m) has shaken off his hamstring problem to start for Burnley, while Chris Wood (£6.2m) is good to start despite a knock to his Achilles tendon reported by Sean Dyche on Thursday.

Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder has made two changes for the trip to Brighton, one enforced, the other a tactical switch.

Luke Freeman (£5.1m) comes in for the suspended John Fleck (£4.9m) while Lys Mousset (£5.1m) finds himself benched for Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) to start alongside David McGoldrick (£5.4m).

Brighton line-up exactly as predicted in our team news section, as do Wolves who travel to Norwich.

The Canaries are forced to bring Grant Hanley (£4.0m) back into the side sooner than Daniel Farke would have wanted.

The centre-back has been named in the starting XI alongside Christoph Zimmermann (£4.4m) following the recent long-term injury to Ben Godfrey (£4.4m).

Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) starts on the left flank of attacking midfield while Teemu Pukki (£6.6m) has recovered from him his toe problem to lead the 4-2-3-1 formation as the lone centre-forward.

Jack Grealish (£6.2m) leads the Aston Villa attack from the left of the front-three again while Wesley (£5.7m) retains his starting berth through the middle.

A strong performance against Liverpool’s youth side in the EFL Cup midweek has not been enough for Dean Smith to consider bringing Jonathan Kodjia (£5.4m) in for Wesley.

For the second match in a row, it’s Matt Targett (£4.4m) and Frédéric Guilbert (£4.4m) named in the full-back positions.

Villa host a Southampton side still lined up in a 4-4-2 formation under Ralph Hasenhüttl.

An injury for Moussa Djenepo (£5.2m) sees Stuart Armstrong (£5.3m) come into the team on the right flank, which means James Ward-Prowse (£5.9m) can retain his central midfield role.

Danny Ings (£6.4m) and Shane Long (£4.6m) are the preferred centre-forward pairing for the fourth match in a row.

Crystal Palace welcome back Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m) to the left-back. berth as their injuries mounted over the last week, while Martin Kelly (£4.4m) starts for the fifth consecutive match.

The Eagles travel to face a Newcastle side that has somewhat recovered from their most recent bout of absences as Jonjo Shelvey (£5.1m) and Miguel Almirón (£5.8m) make much-needed returns to midfield.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton; Targett, Engels, Hause, Guilbert; McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Hourihane; Grealish, Wesley, El Ghazi.

      Your balls must be hard to carry around. Fair play.

        As good an option as any this week, to be fair.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          There are a lot of dumb choices going around on here. Ings made statistical sense but anyone brave enough to go for a 6m striker deserves plaudits

            • 13 Years

    Ings is so annoying to own, has never scored a hat-trick for me

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ings has no chance of getting a hatty. None.

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years

      Will be his first double figure score if the season

    What a beast Danny Ings actually is
    Well played, dear owners!
    He is going to knock me out of the cup at this point

    Abraham to Ings when Tammy was injured was such a good transfer.

    FPL may favour Abraham and manipulate his price, but then can't make Abraham score goals.

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep.

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Tammy was going to punish sellers to Ings.

    1. have you seen cyan

      I sold him for Rashford last week, then realised my mistake and reversed the transfer last night, just wish I’d captained him

  24. Differentiator

    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Hahahaha FPL is sh1t.

    Last week I did KDB + Ings > Dele + Rashford.

    My team, my transfers, made perfect sense and everyone was saying to do it.

    Now I’ve missed both massive hauls, can’t wait for Dele and Rashford to blank again 🙂

  27. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Of course ML rival got Ings

  28. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Got Ings in GW 14 and since then he has scored 9, 9, 8, 2 and whatever he finishes on today. All for £6.1m...great value

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      GW11 here and 2,7,6 scores extra

  29. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Surely keep Ings now? Him vs dodgy Chelsea defence.

  30. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Can nobody else score for Southampton?! Jesus sick of Ings

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Um. No-one since their previous goal.
