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.

      Must be the worst transfer fee to FPL price ratio ever excl. defenders

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He's the worst, by a distance. Including Maguire even!

      2. have you seen cyan

  17. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How did it end up a 2v2 on the counter? That's a big no no at this level.

    One of the CBs must have wandered forward...

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Tough one to take for those who Wildcarded Watkins out.

  19. FCSB
    • 9 Years

    Everton relegation confirmed

  20. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Ings is a great striker. Wish he was used efficiently more often

    1. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He's always one sprint away from a hammy tweak

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He’s have to be available more often to be used more often.

  21. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Everton are falling apart, quite literally.

    No chance they stay up this season..

    1. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Buendia nice sub to have.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don't understand why they're not playing Buendia over him

    Why is Bailey not playing?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Because he’s benched

      1. Fat Frank
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Bit strange - was their best player last week

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gerrard made a decision

    3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 4 Years

      He’s not very good
