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.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, Stephens, Cedric; Redmond, Hojbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; Long, Ings.

Sheffield United XI: Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Freeman, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

Newcastle XI: Dúbravka; Dummett, Fernández, Lejeune, Schär, Manquillo; Almirón, Hayden, Shelvey; Joelinton, Carroll.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; van Aanholt, Tomkins, Kouyaté, M Kelly; McCarthy, McArthur, Milivojevic; Zaha, Benteke, Ayew.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Byram, Zimmermann, Hanley, Aarons; Tettey, Trybull; Cantwell, McLean, Buendía; Pukki.

    Beautiful from Cantwell but surely everyone has him this week?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      Why would everyone have him?

      15% EO too 10k

        That’s surprising. Been bench fodder for me all year and though he’d be more popular as cheap scoring midfielder

    Cantwell is my biggest unlucky downswing of this season. Kept for appearances and immediately after that 3 goals in 4-5 games. Would have played him for these games as well.

    Anyone sell a Liverpool player so they didn’t have to play THE Todd?

  21. HurriKane

    Sold Mane. Cantwell 1st sub. I could just have jplayed Cantwell and kept Mane no?

    Lund close to YC. Should be booked

  23. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I took a hit and benched Cantwell. Probably would have been better off just playing him

  24. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Odds of C Palace scoring 4 goals today with a Zaha hattie and assist ?

  27. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    I can imagine a whole load of teams will be having Cantwell coming in for Mane. Many of those will be casuals too.
