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.

      True of most managers tbh. Seen it with Pep a number of times. It is to keep the player happy while that player is sitting on the bench.

      If you have Haaland I actually think he's a better option than any of the mid price City midfielders. I'd rather him with 20 mins every game than someone playing 90mins every 2nd game

    How healthy is Danny Ings at this moment?
    To bad he isn't priced 0.5 lower, he would be much more attractive pick.
    We need more of those unless we want a situation like this where 90% of the teams look nearly identical.

    Bailey can still easily come off the bench and score. I know the against tired legs cliche is over used on here, but as a pacey player who relies on acceleration it genuinely does help him a bit.

    Hopefully he gets 30mins plus though.
