Cantwell benched as Mousset returns to Sheff Utd starting line-up

Todd Cantwell (£4.7m) finds himself on the Norwich City bench as Gameweek 16’s Sunday matches get underway.

Daniel Farke has chosen to start Onel Hernández (£5.3m) and Emi Buendía (£6.0m) on the flanks of attacking midfield, despite Cantwell finding the net in each of his last two Premier League matches.

With a smattering of no-shows in Saturday’s matches, most notably Sadio Mané (£12.3m), more Fantasy managers than usual were relying on Cantwell but as things stand they will have to wait for him to enter the fray.

However, there was better news in the Sheffield United camp as Lys Mousset (£5.1m) returned to the starting line-up following a midweek benching, which coincided with a poor 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United.

David McGoldrick (£5.4m) also returns to the two-man front-line after registering just 18 minutes against the Magpies.

The rest of the Sheffield United team remains as usual, with FPL darling John Lundstram (£5.2m) keeping his place in central midfield.

Leicester City manager usually tries to keep his teams largely the same from one match to the next but he has made three alterations for the trip to Aston Villa today.

Ben Chilwell (£5.9m) returns from injury to displace Christian Fuchs (£4.3m) at left-back while Kelechi Iheanacho (£5.7m) and Dennis Praet (£5.3m) come in for Harvey Barnes (£5.9m) and Ayoze Pérez (£6.2m).

Most of the Aston Villa Fantasy assets are in place with Jack Grealish (£6.0m) still deployed on the left flank of the front-three and John McGinn (£5.8m) in central midfield.

However, Frédéric Guilbert (£4.4m) is on the bench with Ahmed El Mohamady (£4.2m) starting a second match in a row.

Finally, Danny Ings (£6.3m) has come through whatever Ralph Hasenhüttl was worried about midweek to start once again.

The Southampton manager hinted that he might have had some issues against Norwich although it was likely just a suffering of cramp.

“I was a little bit afraid because he had a little bit of a problem with his hamstring after the Norwich game, a little bit of cramp. With his history, it’s always dangerous for him.” – Ralph Hasenhüttl

Newcastle make just one change from the win over Sheffield United, Joelinton (£5.7m) restored to the side in the place of Andy Carroll (£5.4m).

Aston Villa XI: Heaton; Targett, Mings, Konsa, Elmohamady; McGinn, D Luiz, Nakamba; Grealish, Wesley, El Ghazi.

Leicester XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Söyüncü, Evans, R Pereira; Ndidi; Maddison, Tielemans, Praet; Iheanacho, Vardy.

Norwich City XI: Krul; Byram, Godfrey, Zimmermann, Aarons; Tettey, Vrancic; O Hernández, McLean, Buendía; Pukki.

Sheff Utd XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; Mousset, McGoldrick.

Newcastle XI: Dúbravka; Willems, Dummett, Fernández, Clark, Manquillo; Saint-Maximin, Hayden, Shelvey, Almirón; Joelinton.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Cédric; Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Djenepo; Ings, Long.

    Can you get Big Chance Missed and Big Chance Created at the same time? Like Soy there?

      Not sure if a rebound counts as a big chance created

      Soy touch will be registered as a pass not shot.

    I can't believe Tielemans is playing. 10 minutes in the game and he looks tired already, can't stand on his feet 😀

    We'll be lucky to get a goal out of Vardy. :/

      14 minutes in.....

      1. Gaddafi
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        It's still unlikely he will score.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          And yet it’s not ya troll

          1. Gaddafi
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Then bet on it. The odds on him scoring have drifted out loads, that's what my statement is based on.

            Get a life instead of antagonizing me.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet

              Lmfao! You can’t even hear yourself lol!
              Get a life for your trolling? Yeah that makes sense, my life literally urinates all over yours, trust. Over and out troll.

      Why ? The game looks really open in the first 12 minutes...

      1. Gaddafi
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        How can you be certain he will score?

        We will be lucky if he does score, cause more than likely he won't. It's 50/50 really.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years

          Oh dear, genius here lads, absolute genius trolling lol

        2. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          If it's 50/50 how's it more likely he won't? Surely it's evens...

          1. Railwayman
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Vardy 1-0, I told you...

            1. Gaddafi
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Great, I'm glad I captained him now. I was getting worried!

          I think he has more than 50% to socre against Villa.

        4. Railwayman
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Vardy 1-0

      Why? Like wtf, saying this just to annoy people

      1. Gaddafi
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        WTF?! You think he's actually going to score? Have you even checked the bookmakers odds? Vardy has gone out loads!

        COMPLETE nonsense response, what is wrong with you honestly.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Lmao! You heard yourself? Seriously, bookmakers odds? Really? Lol take your trolling elsewhere

          1. Gaddafi
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            You don't think bookmakers odds are a valid metric system? If you are so certain that he's going to score then you can bet on it and you'll be rich. Stop living in fantasy land.

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years

          You commented on my post the other day saying City "definitely" won't concede against utd because the bookmaker odds said they will keep a clean sheet LOL. Didn't take into consideration that city have been poor defensively all season

            • 4 Years

            You should have shorted it and put $100 on it then and you would have $300 now. Not so smart eh?

      1. Gaddafi

        You should have bet on him to score, it was 3/1. You'd be rich now!
