Aston Villa v Everton team news: Bailey out, Watkins in

Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at Villa Park, where Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard square off for the first time as managers.

Kick-off between Aston Villa and Everton is at 12:30 BST.

One of the most-selected players in this fixture, the 17%-owned Leon Bailey, drops to the bench this lunchtime as Gerrard recalls Ollie Watkins to play in a front two with Danny Ings.

“Ollie Watkins is ready, he has had his strongest week since we have been back. Last week we were a bit toothless, so going two up there I am hoping we get more success.” – Steven Gerrard

The Villa manager’s other change comes at centre-half as deposed captain Tyrone Mings returns to the starting XI at the expense of Ezri Konsa.

There are also two alterations made by Lampard, both of which are enforced due to serious injuries sustained by Yerry Mina and Ben Godfrey last week.

New signing Conor Coady and Mason Holgate come in at centre-half as the Everton boss persists with the striker-less set-up of Gameweek 1 despite Salomon Rondon‘s availability.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Diego Carlos, Mings, Digne, Ramsey, Kamara, McGinn, Watkins, Ings, Coutinho.

Subs: Konsa, Douglas Luiz, Buendia, Chambers, Augustinsson, Young, Olsen, Bailey, Archer.

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Holgate, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, McNeil, Doucoure, Iwobi, Gray, Gordon.

Subs: Keane, Onana, Begovic, Alli, Coleman, Davies, Ruben Vinagre, Rondon, Mills.

                Take Bailey out imo, he’s going to drop like a stone. Nice forwards planning though, makes a change from all the rage transfers going about after that Villa game.

    So...

    Jurgen Klopp and others argue the case (and get it) for 5 substitutes to ease the load on his premier league stars..

    And Steven Gerrard uses three of his five to play out and waste time. (94, 94 and 95 minutes)

    Think again Jurgen, you've not really helped the game here have we...

    Ridiculous..

      I mean, both of those can be true. It’s not like there weren’t time-wasting substitutes made when there were only three, and managers still only have three slots during play they can make subs, so they can’t break the game up five times.

            No of course not, just that he could have made a time-wasting substitution at the same time when there were only three subs as well (as he’d only made two subs before then), so the only difference is maybe an extra minute because three players were coming on instead of just one. Not a massive difference, and a price worth paying to give managers the ability to reduce minutes for all their players, especially talismans like Kane, Salah, De Bruyne etc., and especially in a season with a World Cup dropped in the middle of it.

                I mean if you want a game where some players (Coady at Wolves, Kane, Ward-Prowse) regularly go over 3000 minutes in a league season, plus pre-season, cups, and (for some) a World Cup, then go for it. Won’t be especially helpful for anyone though. And if you’re so disgusted with the financial state of football, maybe give FPL, the game where you literally buy and sell real players for (virtual) millions based only on how they can reward you in points, a miss?

                Oh, and it’s not if *they* want, it’s if they get injured or if the manager thinks the set-up needs changing, or someone’s having a stinker. No professional footballer, especially at this level, doesn’t want to play football.
