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.

    Bye Bye Bailey ..

      • 14 Years

      Finally the hills are without eyes
      They are tired of painting a dead man's face red
      With their own blood

  2. The Final Boss

    Guys I can't see the number of transfers made by my rivals. Is it not visible anymore?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      GW history

  3. lonecomander

    Typical of Gerard tbh talk up Bailey and then bench him. I have so little faith in what he says as a manager.

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      It's his seesin

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      He will come on at 75 minutes for one point. There will be a lot of that, now, with 5 subs, which is a daft initiative

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      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.

    4. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      If you talk a player *down* and then bench 'em, they might not be motivated when needed

      The Pep way

    5. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Agree - have in my starting line up - hope comes on second half - scores or does not come on - stays bench for replacement

  4. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    I really struggled on that last articles topic. I have a bit of a spitch impediment.

  5. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Alvarez haul this GW

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Was thinking this earlier. Can see it happening

    2. fish&chips
      • 16 Years

      Mahrez*

    3. Gross Blank Point
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      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

  6. dekikide
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    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.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Ings can only get better.

  7. DLLM
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Best replacement for bailey? 0.5 in bank.

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Aaronson or is he too much?

    2. Bushido
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      I'm looking for one as well. He's going before the next game week.

        • 15 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Swapped pre deadline.

        Bailey - Da Silva and Williams to Saliba. -4 May just break even now?

        1. Pino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Good moves

    4. Bluetiger1
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Ditto - alternative for Bailey now

  8. Kevin Twine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Anyone else able to change their team after the deadline? Letting me do it on chrome lol

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      You need to refresh the page entirely rather than just click on 'My Team' etc. Your current GW2 team won't change.

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah I did. I’ve closed tabs and reloaded now - back to the old stinker with Bailey in 🙁

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 9 days ago

          Join the club :mrgreen:

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      It happens every week lately for about 2 minutes after it comes on. I moved a VC once, just to see if it stayed. Once it did, once it did not.

  9. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Watkins and Anthony over 1.5 SOT 20/1

    Was too good to turn down

  10. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Tom Gordon oop striker. £5.5m.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Until the get a striker

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        I have Rondon on my bench for that reason.

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Is that Anthony Gordon’s brother?

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Sorry, I was thinking of the old red six closing pitcher, Tom 'Flash' Gordon.

        1. Nomar
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 9 days ago

          **Red Sox**

  11. PartyTime
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Coutinho is probably the next victim

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Been outstaying his welcome in that starting XI for half a season or so.

  12. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    I wish I had Saka in my team but it was either him or Cancelo so I went Martinelli.

    Whichever way, I guess it will be fine.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Keep swinging

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Maybe my instinct of going Cancelo will solve the matter.

  13. Cruyff's Eleven
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    In fairness, Villa without Bailey play like prime Barcelona.

  14. Santi sensei
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Bailey likely to drop in price now. I dont want to waste a FT on him so taking it on the chin

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      You could just sit him entirely on Jimmy Hill’s chin, until you want to get rid of him.

    2. Drexl Spivey
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Only 17% owned - no like-for-likes to jump on, bar fodder. Doubt he'll move.

      1. Bushido
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Podence if you have 0.5 million in the bank

        1. Drexl Spivey
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 days ago

          Maybe on a WC. Not something I'd waste an FT over.

  15. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Leon has Baileyed out of the train.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      So bad it’s good but then bad again.

  16. Nomar
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Need a Cash haul today.

    1. Red Red Robins
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      You spelt Digne wrong

      1. Nomar
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        No, I don't believe I did. Definitely meant Cash.

        1. Red Red Robins
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 9 days ago

          haha

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Put £20 on a Haaland hatty

      1. Kane Toads
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        🙂

      2. devoncop
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Odds on Pep subs Haaland off after he scores his second by the tenth minute

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Put 10 pounds on a Salah hatty.

  17. Superflymonk
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    They should have a chip that allows you to change your starting 11 after the 1st deadline is gone but before the 1st game of the gameweek starts. Can be used when you're really unsure who to play in gw.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Seems kinda silly given you only typically get lineup news for 1 match.

      1. Superflymonk
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Perhaps, but feel if you're allowed to substitute any benched points in for your non-scoring starters it would be an overpowered chip.

  18. dshv

    What we are expecting from 5.0 mil mid anyway ???

    1. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Cantwell was 4.5...

    2. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Him to start

  19. Mozumbus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Best 4.5m who is not Andreas?
    Thanks

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Dasilva has the most upside, but Reed is probably the most secure.

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Da silva

    3. Santi sensei
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Da Silva

    4. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Dasilva

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Ah on BT

    2. TheTinman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      One that always gets me is the stat they always reel off to begin with.

      "These teams have met 28 times previously..."

      Who cares? The teams are totally different.

  21. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    So happy I wildcarded bailey out

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Mow much did you get from the BB?

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        no idea. lol
        71 pts in total
        Allison, Watkins and kane massive fails

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 9 days ago

          Decent score!

          Hopefully the WC works out well for you.

    2. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Swapped pre deadline.

      Bailey to DaSilva and Williams to Saliba. -4, May just break even now?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Only if Arsenal get a clean sheet

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    One positive with the Bailey benching is that I'm less inclined to watch Villa v Everton.

  23. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Cash falls

  24. Red Red Robins

    Scenes when Bailey scores

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      The drama

  25. FOO FIGHTER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Damn, as I posted that I had brought in Saka at the expense of Cancelo, I logged back on to confirm the transfers...

    The clock struck and maybe just maybe the game closing for updates was a good sign?

  26. Clintymints
    • 17 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Have to laugh. Bailey always gona be a flop. Get a 4.5 mid and upgrade your Leicester combo keepers

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      🙂

  27. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    1st blood to the WCers

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      I had to wait and see which way Haaland, Kane and Darwin went.

      I don't think Gabriel Jesus matters now.

  28. TheTinman
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    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.

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Coutinho and Ings often in line for early subs. Always a chance he gets the mins.

  29. tangtastic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    As a Cash owner I can confirm that was definitely a penalty

  30. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    This seems a great game for Digne & Cash owners!

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Lots of space out wide in both systems...
