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

    Let me ask this question. Was TAA a bigger risk in terms of benching than Robertson or is it sheer unluckiness here. Like Laporte?

    1. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      TAA was a bigger risk in terms of benching, yes.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      TAA is a bigger benching risk. Klopp thinks he is physically and mentally weak and can't handle playing loads of games.

    BTW can all the new Auba owners remember Arsenal don't start playing until the 2nd half so let's not have a million fail posts during the 1st half 🙂

      Low chance. No CS point and one point less for each goal

    How fitting that salah gets his first brace of the season when many of us finally sell on a WC aftern owning all season. For most I think it wasn’t a case of not wanting salah but more because Kane was expected to outscore in the next few weeks
