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.

    2. Gaddafi

      Yeah, so happy I captained Vardy.

      Kicking myself I didn't bet on him to score first goal, would have got it at 4/1.

    That would've been quite hilarious. If Mings went off, I would've had Engels coming on just before that goal.

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

      Might get him yet.
