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

    Non-Salah owners gameweek over already. Cruel really, but that's how it is. Auba/Laca/Kane/Sterling aren't saving any of us. Stop being deluded.

      Agree. Salah wins this GW. But Kane won last GW. Auba the GW before. Sterling the GW before that. Choosing the right big hitters to (c) is the key at the moment.

      It's not over until it's over. Auba could HT, Kane the same. Not too likely, I admit, but let's see.

    I sold Salah for Sane a few weeks back and have had very good returns and an extra decent player on team so can’t really complain. In fairness in hindsight I may have been better off keeping salah but may not even have captained today

    This is now going to turn interesting... Lets see the panic set in now... All those non salah owners have probably spent the last 30 mins figuring out how to get him back in with 2 moves....

      Nope. I am happy with Auba, Kane and Sterling over the long haul. Salah is a good player, but you can't have every good player.

      City's fixtures are about to get good. They have played most of the Big 6 away from home now too. I would rather have Sterling.

    Trying to put a positive spin on this. It's impossible to own all of Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Kane, Aubameyang, Aguero (without the rest of your team majorly suffering). These are all players capable of massive hauls, like Salah today, so it's inevitable that you will always miss out on some of them. Sterling, Hazard, Kane, Auba might not do anything this gameweek but maybe Salah blanks next week and they all do well.

      It's not necessarily a positive spin its just how the cookie crumbles with fpl. I ditched Salah a few weeks ago and enjoyed Sterling and Kane captain hauls and a rise in rank. I'll be stung today unless my replacements can counteract a bit. You simply can't have them all. The worst part is the muppets who claim every haul was obvious, simply cos they're an owner, when you simply can only own 50% of those capable
