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

    Looking forward to VAR next year. Big boys won't get as many easy goals and small fish will get more

    Even Salah was looking for the offside flag

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 6 Years

  28. Four Hit Wonder

    Offside.

    This is getting ridiculous. Not even VAR can help English refs at this point IMHO. They're just so poor overall.

  29. The Train Driver

    3d offside missed by the ref already...

    Transferred in Wilson for Arnie but Salah captain. People who sold him for a hit are crazy.
