Fantasy Premier League’s third most-owned player features in the penultimate match of Gameweek 13 this evening.

Jack Grealish (£7.8m) is owned by 43.6% of FPL managers heading into tonight’s clash between Aston Villa and Burnley, with kick-off in the West Midlands at 18:00 GMT.

Grealish is also among the top ten most-captained assets of Gameweek 13, with 182,447 Fantasy bosses handing him the armband.

The Villa talisman is unsurprisingly part of Dean Smith’s starting XI this evening but there are some notable omissions from what has been one of the most settled sides in the division this season.

Smith has made four changes to his line-up, three of which are enforced.

Douglas Luiz (£4.9m) and Matty Cash (£5.0m) are both suspended, with Marvelous Nakamba (£4.3m) and Ahmed Elmohamady (£4.3m) coming into the side to replace them.

Anwar El Ghazi (£5.7m) is recalled for the benched Jacob Ramsey (£4.5m), while Kortney Hause (£4.4m) is in for the ill Ezri Konsa (£4.8m).

Ross Barkley (£5.9m) has failed to recover in time and isn’t even among the substitutes.

The Burnley team news is straightforward, with Sean Dyche sticking with the same XI that started the 1-0 win at Arsenal last Sunday.

The Clarets have kept clean sheets in three of their last four away matches, although did ship five at Manchester City in Gameweek 10.

Nick Pope (£5.4m) has the same points-per-match average as Emiliano Martinez (£4.8m) this season (5.3), with no other regular starting goalkeeper able to beat that mean.


Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Elmohamady, Hause, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Nakamba, Grealish, Traore, Watkins, El Ghazi.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brady, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Wood, Rodriguez.

    2. Werder Bremner
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fine tonight but had issues before

      Lost the Pool/ Spurs game completely last night (other two games were fine)

  9. CRO KLOPP
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    If this ends 0-0, it would be 5 th CS for Burnley,Pope has in these 5 games 3,3,2,3,3 bonus points

  10. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Imagine Son is in the position of El Ghazi. It's probably 6-0 already, with 6 assists by Jack

  11. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    El ghazis selfishness will cost villa the game. Watkins finds open spots and just not getting passes

  12. Fudgy
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    PLEASE TAKE EL GHAZI OFF

    1. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      As someone who doesnt have Villa attack I like El Gazi -)

    Which defender scores most?

    Taylor
    (WOL, SHU, FUL, whm+liv)

    Bednarek
    (MCI, WHM, LIV, lei+lee)

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Either

  14. Stryder05
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    If you’re chasing then what would you pick? Already got Bruno, Son & Salah. It’s not been my best FPL this year!

    Mahrez & Werner to -

    A) Kane & Soucek
    B) Sterling/KDB & 5.7m forward

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A by miles

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER

        great to chat!

  15. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    As strange as it sounds Grealish is far to loyal, if he was selfish, and hogged pennos and FK’s and took far more shots he’d probs be worth 8-9M

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Facts

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      its almost like he doesnt care about fpl

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

        🙂

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Imagine how lethal a Grealish with the attitude of Salah would be.

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

        A selfish greedy Grealish probably hits 13G 13A x

  16. dogtanion
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Farewell Watkins..I'll never forget those 4 points in 4 weeks

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

      Replacement?

      1. dogtanion
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Literally anyone else..!

  17. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Hopefully El Ghazi doesn't ever start again so normalcy can resume

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

    Fgs.... come on Villa ..... and Burnley

  19. Runaway
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    I am wondering if they win a pen, will El Ghazi take it again after all those terrible misses

  20. FPL DONKEY
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    El Ghazi was made for the goals imminent table

  21. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Jeez this Villa attach is terrible. Easy saves for Pope

  22. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    El Ghazi has ruined all FPL prospects in this match.

    1. Esalman
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Except Burnley defenders.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Davis getting minutes juuuhuuuu. Better than Brewster definitely

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      For sure. Better value for money!

  24. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Grealish blank would actually be good. Almost everyone owns him, some even captain, many will sell if he blanks.

  25. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    There comes my 4.3!

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      it's beautiful isn't it 😉 :*

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years

        Love it!

  26. All The Aces
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    If they take Watkins off I swear........

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

    Traore giving away a useless foul, Burnley goal incoming

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Watkins is never going to get any service with these two.

  29. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    El Gahzi not subbed 🙁
