Wilson injured and Alexander-Arnold benched for Gameweek 16 opener

2,732 Comments

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

    I don’t want to be ‘that guy’.. but I mentioned it a few times before the dearline.. Bournemouth let up 68% possession to Huddersfield and 23 shots, with the majority in the box. Their defensive stats are currently worse than Burnley and Southampton. Salah (c) was as obvious as it gets

        I'm a Salah capper and Robbo owner but I agree. You may have said it but you clearly weren't as loud about it as now. Posting stridently in hindsight is easy, why not be brave and make these bold statements pre-deadline? Both or neither IMO.

        That said - well done on the rank!
