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

    United isn't a good fixture for Mo despite their dreadfullness. Jose always parks the bus and Mo will have just played 180 mins leading up to it. The massive Napoli tie will be draining.

          I believe Jose has only conceded once in 4 games v Klopp while at United.

          5 days after Napoli yes but 180 mins in 8 days impossible to be fresh.

      The nice thing about FPL now is there isn't a clear template at the moment
      Last year a Salah hattrick would have been kind of pointless as nearly everyone owned and captained him
      42 points from 1 but I am nervous not owning Laca and Auba who could also score hattricks I guess!

      Dear Kane,

      You might have seen what Salah has done to us non owners. It would be great if you too could get a hat trick (and even more if you please) today!

      Worried non Salah but Kane captained!
