Wilson and King reward owners’ patience as Bournemouth beat Villa

Goals: Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) | Harry Wilson (£6.0m) Josh King (£6.5m)

Assists: Jack Grealish (£6.0m) | Callum Wilson (£8.0m)

Bonus Points: El Mohamady x 3 Luiz x 2 H.Wilson/Grealish x 1

Bournemouth battled to a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon, leaving their hosts still winless on their return to the Premier League. 

An early penalty was converted by Josh King (£6.5m) after Tom Heaton (£4.5m) had fouled Callum Wilson (£8.0m) in the box to put the Cherries 1-0 up, before Bournemouth debutant Harry Wilson (£6.0m) doubled their lead with an outstanding strike.

The Wilson and King combination is a well-known and lethal duo to Fantasy managers, and the two strikers did not disappoint on Saturday. For Wilson, the assist for King’s converted penalty means the striker has now recorded attacking returns in two consecutive matches.

And for King, his well-taken penalty will inevitably add to his confidence as Bournemouth bid to build on their unbeaten start to the 2019/20 campaign with promising fixtures from Gamweeks 4 to 7, though first, they must face reigning Champions Manchester City at Dean Court in Gameweek 3. 

Harry Wilson scored his first goal for Bournemouth on Saturday

Eddie Howe’s side were buoyant and energetic in attack, yet this enthusiasm was poorly managed by central midfielder Philip Billing (£5.0m) who was lucky to remain on the pitch after a number of poor challenges and was consequently substituted by Howe at half-time. 

For Villa, this was a disappointing result after their promising performance against Spurs last week.

Manager Dean Smith will be understandably frustrated that his side were able to deliver such a strong first-half performance in the capital but fall so short of the required standards in the opening 45 minutes at Villa Park. 

There are a number of assets in Villa’s squad who have the potential to offer value in 2019/20, yet investing in a team who are yet to prove themselves in the top-flight and who remain winless is a difficult decision to justify even if there is a wealth of potential value-for-money options in midfield and defence.

It was a mixed afternoon for Douglas Luiz who was sloppy in possession in the first half but scored a wonder-goal in the second

Tyrone Mings (£4.5m) delivered another commanding performance at the heart of the host’s defence alongside Bjorn Engels (£4.5m), whilst a wonder strike from Douglas Luiz (£4.5m) was the highlight of Villa’s afternoon, a superb effort from outside the box to drag Smith’s side back into contention for a tense final 15 minutes in front of a boisterous home crowd. 

An assist for Jack Grealish (£6.0m) will be pleasing returns for the 6% of managers who backed the Villa captain, and with a crucial run of fixtures on the horizon to ensure relegation does not become an immediate concern for the club, he is likely to feature prominently and could deliver further attacking returns.

John McGinn (£5.6m) was relentless in the middle of the park for Villa, but the Scotsman was unable to deliver successive attacking returns to build on his goal away at Spurs in Gameweek 1.

The abilities of McGinn and Grealish are certainly documented, yet whether either of these players can be considered a viable and reliable asset for Fantasy managers given Villa’s volatility in the opening Gamweeks of 2019/20 is a question that remains unanswered.

Grealish got his first attacking returns of the 2019/20 season

Villa’s club-record signing Wesley (£6.0m) had a difficult afternoon against Bournemouth, failing to fulfil his role as a capable target-man to hold up the ball and unleash Villa’s faster attacking options such as Anwar El Ghazi (£5.5m) and Trezeguet (£5.5m). 

It is too early to make a firm judgement on Wesley after just two matches, but from the perspective of early impressions, the Brazilian is unlikely to be a player that is featuring prominently for Fantasy managers, especially given the value that could lie in Villa’s defence alongside the early attacking returns from Grealish and McGinn in midfield. 

Villa’s next three games – Everton (home), Crystal Palace (away) and West Ham (home) – are of huge importance in their bid to have a successful season and prevent getting dragged into a relegation dogfight, and these will be games that are closely monitored by Fantasy managers in assessing whether Smith’s side represent a squad worthy of investment for the early stages of 2019/20. 

Meanwhile, Bournemouth and Howe remain unbeaten and will look to build on their early successes and continue the integration of players such as Harry Wilson who could yet become a differential pick in Bournemouth’s already impressive attacking armoury. 

Reflecting on the game for us, The Villa View’s Dan Bardell said:

A game where neither team really impressed defensively, meaning budget defenders from both sides came away with low scores.

We need to cut out the errors, goalscorer Luiz at £4.5m obviously bagged but I wouldn’t expect him to be scoring too many, he’s a pure a defensive midfielder.

McGinn and Trezeguet looked our liveliest players. McGinn is going to get somewhere between 7-10 goals this season in my opinion. He will play every week and he just suits the Premier League.

For Bournemouth, Harry Wilson looks a shout, especially with Brooks out. Scored from range yesterday and will probably take his share of dead balls. Fraser looked good as well but his price increase puts me off him.

Billing as a budget midfielder doesn’t look advisable, could have easily been sent off yesterday. Good player, but not for Fantasy football.

    Wilson, Perez, Moura > Pukki, KDB, Ceballos/McGinn for -4?

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looking at same moves and willing to pull the trigger tonight

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just considering Son over KDB

    3. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      idk Newcastle are whipping boys atm. Moura out without spurs coverage..

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        But will he play?

        1. wernerhedgehog
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          he did score and wasn't too bad. tempted to just hold on for this one game. he's consistent so far, and is the explosvie hattricky type

      2. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        if Moura didn't start with Son out. surely he's even less likely to start this week?

        1. wernerhedgehog
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          i think it's hard to drop a consistent player. i've been wrong ofc but too many are underrating Moura.

  2. EgyptianKing

    Mates, which trio?

    1) Bissaka, KDB, Jota

    2) Emerson, Martial, Rash

    2. VougieDipond
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      otamendi is 5.4 and stones is injured. anything up to 5 weeks which should be confirmed midweek

  4. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    After 2 average GW's..

    Pope Heaton
    VvD Digne Diop Zinchenko Robertson
    Zaha KdB Salah Sigurdsson Stephens
    Jimenez Wilson Greenwood

    2 FT, 0 ITB
    Robertson + Zaha-> Soyuncu + Son

    Can you suggest a better use of the FT's?

    1. rowdog24
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Are Digne and Zinc fit?

      1. Slitherene
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not that they are out for long.
        I have a decent enough bench to cover these 2 for a week.

      2. Squib
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Mate this is my exact concern. I have to get rid of 2 from my team and neither of those are the ones I intended to lose.

  5. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kane or KdB more essential?

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kane IMO, especially if you already have sterling

      But there’s 1.5m difference

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah. I can fit Kane into my team.

        Guilbert Perez Vardy - - > Soyuncu Cantwell Kane

        Yay or nay?

      2. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        having Sterling is irrelevant in my opinion. KDB is tearing out up

                Wilson to Kane

                Or

                Perez to KDB/Son?

                  I want to get Son in too but just don't trust Poch that he will start with Son. City away to Bou should be a high scoring one for City. Therefore prefer Perez to KDB.

                Perez and Sigurdsson owners - keeping another week?

                I’m thinking I may, especially if I do Wilson to Pukki just - cos then I don’t have enough ITB for KDB/Son without further moves, yet.

                  1. PogChamp
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Most people seem to prefer Kane. Have captained Auba for the first 2 GW's so will probably keep.

                    1. EMBOLOFAN
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 7 months ago

                      thats not a good reason to keep someone

                      1. PogChamp
                        • 12 Years
                        4 years, 7 months ago

                        Maybe. Sometimes loyalty pays.

                          4 years, 7 months ago

                          I’m not convinced he’s aware of the loyalty you’ve shown him

                  2. KGFC
                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Both Pool and Spurs game could be high scoring given how suspect both teams are at the back atm. Auba has a good chance to get attacking returns

                2. Alan Watts
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Auba to Kane looks good, chance of a brace / ht this week

                    Yes. As I said, continued with one transfer today, everything looked fine

                          It clearly stated Wildcard played in that box up on the left side.

                  You need Sterling

                4 years, 7 months ago

                as much as I wanna pull the trigger on Moura and Perez out for KDB etc. Is it worth waiting to see how Martial looks first?!

                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  What would he need to do to be picked?

                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    I think if UTD in general look good again and score a few it might change my transfer thoughts of
                    Salah and Moura to Mane and KDB or
                    Perez and Moura to Cebellos and KDB.

                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    I'm really undecided TM! it would be for a hit either way

                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  I'm more worried that Moura will be dropped for Son.

                  At least martial is nailed.

                Someone help a brother out I have no clue what to do

                Adrian - Button
                Maguire - Gomez - Zinchenko - Rico - Kelly
                Salah - Sterling - Martial - Pérez - Bilva

                Does anyone know if Fraser is dropping in price tonight? If he is, I sm forced to make my early transfers :

                Robertson and Fraser out
                Laporte and Martial In

                Can see Lampard getting the sack then taking the Celtic job, after Lennon gets the sack.

                Is Emerson worht getting ?
                Considering rejig of my LFC heavy defense, atleast until Alisson gets back and they dont have to play kitman in the goal.

                Anyone seen Ayoze Perez play today? How did he do? Will likely give him 2 more weeks but he's been fairly disappointing so far.

                  i think albrighton looked better than perez coming on.

                  Maddison, Vardy & Tielemans looked better, in that order.

                Lots of Deadwood to remove here. Which one of the players should be removed first?

                Pope
                TAA Robertson Ake
                Salah KDB Barkley Fraser
                Auba Wood Jota

                Button lundstram dendo Balbuena

                2fts,0 itb

                Thinking of getting rid of Barkley &Fraser with two fts

                Barkley+ fraser-> mcginn+ upto 8 mid(martial or siggy)?

                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Use the 0.5 to upgrade Ake.

                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    Martial looked good? I haven't seen him in gw1.
                    Any Everton mids catch your eye? Fixtures look decent

                  Do you think McGinn over Ceballos? I thinking of shifting Barkley and Fraser too.

                  1. Aftermath
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 7 months ago

                    I'm not too keen on ceballos yet but he looked good , lots of setpieces too. Keeping an eye on him

                • 13 Years

                    Leicester defender for a 4.5 not too bad. Just expecting cleansheets really.

                what to do for a -4?

                a) Robbo+Frazer => AWB+KDB

                c) Salah+Frazer =>Mane, KDB

                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Don’t see the merit in a -4 just to save on price personally

                2. Carefree Crew
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Personally as we take 100% of the losses & only get 50% of profit, I actually think it's more important to focus on not losing value. Obviously to make £100k back you need a player to go up by £200k and want to sell at that point. Which is often not the case, if gone up by £200k probably scoring points and not want to sell. Minus 4 points a few times early in the season isn't a disaster. So that's my 2 penny worth. Hope it helps!

                2. -4 hit to ship him tonight

                2FT entirely dependant on tomorrow night's game, especially the United defence (AWB), Martial & Rashford. Any early opinions based on GW1 regarding the Martial vs. Rashford debate?

                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Martial playing upfront, but listed as a midfielder, and 1 million cheaper.

                2. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Rashford looked way better player in gw 1.
                  But Martial playing OOP

                3. Carefree Crew
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 7 months ago

                  Martial ppm is higher I think from memory, like him OOP, would be my choice FWIW!
