Richarlison fit to start but Fraser drops to the bench

Following West Ham United’s 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the early kick-off, four more Premier League matches get underway at 15:00 BST.

Crystal Palace host Everton, Fulham entertain Cardiff City, Southampton take on Bournemouth, and Watford play Wolverhampton Wanderers in a rematch of their FA Cup semi-final.

Richarlison is fit to start at Selhurst Park, despite being described as a “major doubt” by his manager on Friday.

Lucas Digne has recovered from his own minor injury as Marco Silva names the same starting XI that beat Manchester United last Sunday.

Patrick van Aanholt returns at the expense of Joel Ward in Roy Hodgson’s only change.

Despite slight concerns for owners of Wolves assets over possible rotation, Nuno Espirito Santo keeps faith with the same 11 players that beat Arsenal in midweek.

Javi Gracia has made three changes to his defence, however, with Adrian Mariappa, Kiko Femenia and Jose Holebas replacing Christian Kabasele, Daryl Janmaat and Adam Masina.

Ralph Hasenhuttl looks to have changed shape this afternoon and has reverted to a back four.

Danny Ings and Yan Valery come in for Stuart Armstrong and the ill Maya Yoshida but Shane Long and Ryan Bertrand are fit to start.

Scott Parker and Neil Warnock have made one change apiece for their meeting at Craven Cottage this afternoon.

Tom Cairney returns at the expense of Jean Michael Seri for the Cottagers, while Leandro Bacuna replaces the injured Joe Ralls for Cardiff.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, van Aanholt, Dann, Kelly, Wan-Bissaka, Meyer, Kouyate, McArthur, Milivojevic, Benteke, Zaha.

Subs: Ward, Townsend, Hennessey, Ayew, Batshuayi, Sako, Riedewald.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gueye, Schneiderlin, Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin.

Subs: Jagielka, Walcott, Tosun, McCarthy, Stekelenburg, Lookman, Baines.

Fulham XI: Rico, Odoi, Ream, Le Marchand, Bryan, Anguissa, Chambers, Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

Subs: Kebano, Ayite, Christie, Seri, Mawson, Ramirez, Elliott.

Cardiff City XI: Etheridge, Peltier, Morrison, Manga, Bennett, Bacuna, Gunnarsson, Mendez-Laing, Camarasa, Hoilett, Niasse.

Subs: Richards, Ward, Reid, Cunningham, Harris, Brian Murphy, Healey.

Southampton XI: Gunn, Valery, Bednarek, Stephens, Bertrand, Hojbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Ings, Long.

Subs: Austin, Armstrong, Lemina, Targett, Sims, Forster, Ramsay.

Bournemouth XI: Boruc, Aké, Cook, Simpson, Clyne, Gosling, Mepham, Lerma, Brooks, King, Wilson.

Subs: Mousset, Ibe, Hyndman, Fraser, Begovic, Solanke, Surridge.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Cathcart, Mariappa, Holebas, Hughes, Doucoure, Capoue, Pereyra, Gray, Deulofeu.

Subs: Gomes, Janmaat, Success, Masina, Sema, Chalobah, Kabasele.

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Jimenez, Jota.

Subs: Ruddy, Cavaleiro, Costa, Gibbs-White, Saiss, Vinagre, Traore.

    2. Teror
      • 9 Years

      I did Eriksen + Aguero > Salah(TC) + Wilson for a hit. Glad I did.

    WILSON YESSSS

      • 12 Years

      No

      Just here for the "Callum Wilson is a troll" posts. Whenever he's benched he scores. Whenever in starting XI does nothing.

      Probably need to make a rule where I don't have any Bournemouth players at all next season as they're one of the most unpredictable, erratic teams I've ever seen.

      What a troll.

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Had him for many weeks last season and this and NEVER does anything. A beast whenever I don't own, hate him

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        The league's worst Jerkyll and Hyde team.

      3. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Got one of my few returns from Wilson today, but because of Vertonghen I also have double SOU def…

      4. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        So irritating. I'd never bench him, but I owned GW31 and 33 this season - absolute zilch, from two good fixtures. Sacrificed Jimenez for him too!

        Then sell on WC34 as many others did and he starts scoring freely.

        Enjoyed owning Fraser for the first 15 or so weeks though I must say!

      5. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        this game just confirms the opinions on bournemouth being erratic.

        Fraser is subbed on and automatically they decide "Okay, let's actually start playing."

        Only reason I still have brooks and wilson is because I've spent less time with fpl after having a shocking season. go figure

        Bou are as schizophrenic as they come

    • Cantona's Kung Fu Kick

      more Wilson.....less Fraser!

    • _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 days ago

      Kun and Kane are the only strikers with a higher ppg than Wilson.. Why would you bench him?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        😀

      2. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 days ago

        Surprised anyone benched him tbh. Annoying having sold on WC though. Jimenez took his place back in my side, done nada since while Wilson is hauling!

      3. Sif
        • 11 Years

        Why would you sell him?!

          5 years, 8 days ago

          Players come and go from fpl teams. If you own him you gotta start him.. Which i do... And did.

      • 8 Years

      Actually bought Wilson when his team at the time(not BOU, can't recall) promoted to PL. Good form in championship. For the price, he still is.

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years

        That was Bournemouth

        Yes we are playing, being rough housed in midfield by Everton players who are not allowed yellow cards for repeated offences.
