Barkley fails to recover as ill Konsa misses out on Aston Villa’s clash with Burnley

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.

    Grealish is disappointing. I got him as part of a hit to get rid of Salah for KDB. Need a goal to make it worth the switch.

            Isn't it just like the financial markets? Prices go up and down. You should only put in what you can afford to lose. Four months is absolutely nothing in the financial markets, where patience almost always beats chopping and changing.

              The front page of the site at the very top says "This is a betting platform and should not be viewed as an investment vehicle."

              Comparing it to financial markets is giving it too much credit for what it is.

            Exactly same thing happened to me and plenty of others I know of as well , personally I think the sight is a complete scam and the folks in charge fix the prices . They have also changed how you sell players now in order to make it more difficult to actually sell them & make any money .
            I am selling mine bit by bit when they are in profit or near to what I paid for them then I am ditching it , I would advise you do the same.

          Those were golden days of premier league matches Saturday night matches 8:30 pm in India with 4-5 fixtures there were just goals and goals or match was interesting to watch

          Too drastic to get Son? Have 2FTs right now, but Grealish, Wilson have good fixtures.

          All of it now: Chilwell, Grealish, Wilson > Reece, Son, Dec-Reid (-4)
          -- or --
          Chilwell > James ahead of gw14
          Grealish, Wilson > Son, Dec-Reid ahead of gw15

          Current team:
          McCarthy, Forster
          Chilwell, Lamptey, Targett, KWP, Kilman
          Salah, KDB, Bruno, Grealish, Soucek
          DCL, Wilson, Bamford

              They look good colour coded but he has this after SHU:

              WHU, ARS, WOL, MCI, LEE

              Don't see him keeping a CS in any of them. Will be a bench player for me. Lewis also but at 0.3 lesser.
