Wilson injured and Alexander-Arnold benched for Gameweek 16 opener

Callum Wilson (£7.0m) has been left out of Bournemouth’s starting XI as Liverpool come to the Vitaliy Stadium for the lunch-time kick-off.

The striker has picked up an injury that was not revealed by Eddie Howe in his most recent press conference.

It is a big story for the Fantasy community as Wilson was looked at as a replacement for the recently injured Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m).

Meanwhile, Junior Stanislas (£6.0m) comes in for Wilson and it’s currently unclear whether it’s him or David Brooks (£5.2m) up front alongside Josh King (£6.3m).

Equally, there was Fantasy disappointment in the Liverpool camp with Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.4m) benched. It is currently unclear whether it’s Fabinho (£5.5m) or James Milner (£5.6m) is playing at right-back.

Xherdan Shaqiri (£7.0m) keeps his place in the team and looks to be joining Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£9.2m) in the front three.

Bournemouth XI: Begovic; Daniels, Ake, S Cook, Francis; Stanislas, Lerma, Surman, Fraser; Brooks; King.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Fabinho, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson; Milner, Wijnaldum, Keita; Shaqiri, Mohamed Salah, Firmino

      Yeah, thats why I really wanted to wild card for next week and not this, but there was just too many price changes.

    My wife is wearing a pair of marigolds and is donning a thick fake tan. She looks like she's slipped when cleaning out the septic tank.

    Shame PL isn't like NFL where every team has to publish and keep updated an Injured Reserve list.

      Prefer the mystery.

      Adds to the drama. Americans seem to suck all the fun out of sports.

        Totally.

          Our footballers also play with broken bones so we never have to worry about them missing games

      A lot of denial in the responses to this post. Liverpool leaked lineups a good example of not wanting the mystery of not knowing.

    Decent start from the Dunfermilinian Djemba-Djemba.

    Salah going to go for the record of dispossessions this game I think

    1. Weilong7
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      no idea why is he playing striker role when firmino more suitable..
      although his current position has more chances to score though... but salah look out of place
