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.

    Rondon jogging into the box there on the counter is everything that is wrong with Everton

    1. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      That's as fast he goes

    2. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      And Rondon, to be fair…

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

      Madness that he is out only striker

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Calling him a striker is also pushing it…

        1. TyroneGAA

          Hahaha

    5. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years

      Feck, why did Gerrard not take off Cash before Everton score. A bad gw1 just continues.

    I have Haalland but captained Salah (C)

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

      Me too, every single team I've seen has Haaland (c) so fingers crossed!

  5. Royal5

    Too many subs. PL should go back to 3 subs

    1. Tcheco
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      This. Rules keep changing game is getting worse each season

      1. Royal5
        • 15 Years

        1. Zimo
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 9 days ago

          I think they still have the same amount of slots available to do those substitutions.

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

      Need Dyche and Burnley back to have blocked that.

  12. Dušan Citizen
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      And it's only the beginning, 1pt for Bailey feels like a success for now

  15. ☈☾

    0.43 (-1.44) = -1.01

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Don't break Matty, I want to sell you at my leisure before your price drops.

  18. Andy_Social
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    So, for Bailey haters, a new 5.0 mid option.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Willock

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        not new

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

      Keeping a close eye on KDH

      1. Old Bull
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        This and the Brentford boy.

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

          Yeh will see who looks good today / tomorrow then move

    3. 15men1cup
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Thinking Dewsbury-Hall or Almirón maybe

    4. Zalk
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Get a defender

    5. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      KDH seems to be the only option I see unless you can squeeze another .5 and get damsgard

  19. Feanor

    What’s the temperature at this game?

    Digne is an FPL legend, maybe for the wrong reasons but he is!

    1. Leao ball
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      Team looking great so far -1 pts

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 9 days ago

        Yeah that's on you for bad selection. Those of us who took Bailey as well got ourselves to a much more respectable 0.

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years

      I miss Baines

    I don't think a WC is going to be anyones friend this GW.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      It's not like you weren't told.

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

        No, I mean playingit this GW

        1. FOO FIGHTER

          For GW3

  22. GENERATION X

    At some point football has to go the rugby way and treat players on the pitch and let game go on. We all know why they are falling over like ninepins

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

    Turned into a cracking game in the end

  24. Kun Tozser

    Digne the Donkey

  25. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    Villa don't want this game to end

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

    I was wondering how Everton would score today until I saw Digné

  27. fantasyfog
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    So far this season is teaching me this

    No-one on here has a clue what they're on about

    Amateurs

    1. GENERATION X

      Just this season?

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

        Slow learner

  28. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    So much for Cash being a machine

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 9 days ago

      ATM

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

      Should have been subbed when he got the tweak. Poor management

  29. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 9 days ago

    For Digne it's not enough to screw over his owners, he feels compelled to screw over Cash owners too. Biggest troll ever.
