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.

    What do you think of this?
    Vardy, Bowen & Creswell -> Rodrigo, Salah & Lewis (-4)

    It would be a part of a FH GW18 and TC GW19 plan without a need to WC early on after GW19

    Martínez
    Robertson - Chilwell - Lamptey
    Salah - KDB - Fernandes - Son - Grealish
    Bamford - Rodrigo

    (Farrell, Lewis, Brewster, Mitchell)

        My TC DGW team would look something like:

        Fabianski
        Robertson - Chilwell - Coufal
        Salah - KDB - Fernandes - Son - JWP
        Bamford - Rodrigo

        Can't really hold on to Bowen any longer just because he has some nice DGW fixtures.
        To be honest I would rather play KDB and/or Son even though they only got 1 fixture
