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.

    Hendo over Guaita is disgusting.

      Ryan yet to play 😉

      Hardly given fixtures and the fact they have third best defensive record in the league...

      1. The Ejiptian King

        You wouldn't rather have Guaita?

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

          At the time, no (as per comments below - same post) but now in hindsight, of course. Let's see what the next couple of fixtures bring though.

        Given fixtures and current defensive form I'd much rather have Guaita.

        1. Zenith UK

          I made my change for GW15. Palace had kept two clean sheets in their last 10. Sheffield had kept four in their last 10. Twice as many. Plus the additional funds for Guaita, I wasn't feeling it.

    Leicester fans must be celebrating so much for selling Maguire and replacing him with Soyuncu

    Tettey was a good player in his prime. Shame he never got the England cap he deserved

  12. Differentiator

      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Top 10k average is 38 right now. With over half of three games, and 2 full games left... probably not.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years

    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He hasn't.

  18. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If he stays on 4 yellows to GW20 is the threshold for a ban then 10 yellow cards?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yes.

        5 —> 10 games after the players team has played 19 league games.

        Will after GW20 for Pool & Hammers.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers. Wilder won't rest him before GW20 so. No point in resting him if could get yellow the next game and miss game after that.

  20. OverTinker

    Lundy party ended 2 weeks ago

    Thinking Lundy to aurier

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lundstram is my 4th defender, behind Aurier.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Lund just fine sitting on the bench

  22. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Results are going the worst possible way for me so far today. Double Sheffield defence, Vardy owner non caller, Cantwell autosubs for Manè. Please stay on the bench Cantwell please.

  23. Regin
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Time to sell lundstram?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No. Unless you paid 5.0 for me.

      For 4.0 he is season keeper

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        For him**

    2. Skalla
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah if bought at 4m no point to sell just bench him if you want.

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just joking. He is in my team since gw1. Won't sell.

  24. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    We need Vardy to blank one game so the Kasuals take him out
