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

    Why is Salah not celebrating? Unhappy at Liverpool?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      That away kit is gash, I wouldn't be happy scoring in it either.

  10. BON

    Robertson punishing all the sellers. That's why he's £1.0 better than TAA.

    1. Goat
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      1. Zladan

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    3 - Salah (47)
    2 - Robertson, Firmino (26)

    Salah WILL get BAPs.

    Fraser looking like doing anything at all?

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      nothing

  15. Alnair
    • 7 Years

  16. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Salah has 52% EO in the top 10k, so still great for owners but non captainers.

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Points are great for captianers

      1. IRBOX ⚽

  17. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    I want clean sheets points for Milner.

    Seems unfair.

  18. Football Heaven

    5 years, 4 months ago

    Let’s face it Salah sellers. It’s like we wanted to sell him. If we could have him we would but Auba, Kane, sterling, sane whoever aren’t justifying his price tag. I don’t think any of us got rid because we didn’t want him, we got rid because we wanted someone else

    1. Football Heaven
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      *not like

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Can't have them all

  19. Ozzy smith
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Think it's going to boil down to Salah+Sane or Sterling+Mane going forward for me. May as well flip a coin.

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mane in for Salah, likely.

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I'll take Salahs 32pts

  21. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Mane getting ready for customary 1 pter

  22. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years

  26. Richd
