Ings absent and Bailey starts as Smith reverts to back four system

Sunday’s Premier League action continues in Birmingham as Aston Villa host West Ham United.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith makes four changes from Gameweek 9, with Kortney Hause (£4.4m), Marvelous Nakamba (£4.5m), Jacob Ramsey (£4.5m) and Leon Bailey (£6.4m) coming in for Tyrone Mings (£5.0m) and Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m), who drop to the bench, plus Douglas Luiz (£4.6m) and Danny Ings (£7.8m), both of whom are missing from the matchday squad.

As a result, it looks like a 4-3-3 system for Villa, with Bailey and Emiliano Buendia (£6.3m) flanking Ollie Watkins (£7.3m) up front.

Meanwhile, David Moyes names an unchanged XI from their Gameweek 9 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

GAMEWEEK 10 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Hause, Targett, McGinn, Nakamba, J Ramsey, Buendia, Bailey, Watkins

Subs: Steer, Mings, Tuanzebe, Young, El Ghazi, Chukwuemeka, Archer, Davis, A Ramsey

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Benrahma, Fornals, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Coufal, Yarmolenko, Lanzini, Vlasic, Dawson, Noble, Diop, Masuaku

        Don't really agree with this things. If he goes off, then non-owners tend knee-jerk him in allowing owners to make gains on other transfers.

                    He's saying it a bit oddly but he isn't wrong. ESR is a better fpl player on current form. 8 more points in one extra match. Let's give Raphinha an extra 8 for the match he missed. Still ESR is 1m cheaper and playing in the better team. Who would u rather have right now?

      Yeah, people calling those horrow shows would've probably had a cardiac arrest if they had a 150k->1.1m rank fall like I did last week.

    If the scoreline of this game stays the same, 8/10 games this GW were won by the away team!

    With Antonio not really firing and some tricky games ahead. Any stand outs for the upcoming fixtures?

    8.6 in the bank.

    Looks like early dull transfer imminent. Dias to Trent because of exact money. I can afford both Raphinha and Antonio to drop in price once. Should perhaps play points over pounds, but Raphinha to Mbeuomo or Gallagher could easily backfire. Lei def has not been solid and no obvious fwd to get.

      Gallagher is a very decent set forget.

      Milivojevic was also benched so good news for the youngster.

      Yes! I started a league at work with players across three continents and it has helped bring all our offices together - I even write a weekly review for the company with awards and my own stats spreadsheet attached!
