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.

    What do you think of this team for a 4pt hit?
    I've not confirmed, yet.

    By swapping TAA for VVD, it allows me to do Pulisic to Grealish and allows me to bank 5m, for a possible Connolly to Rashford move, next week.

    Ryan
    VVD Lundstram Soyuncu
    Mane Alli Maddison Son Grealish
    Abraham Vardy

    Button Kelly Rico Connolly

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years

      Keep TAA

      1. C'mon the Fylde
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Then I'm stuck with Pulisic..

        1. NWA
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          grealish looks in better form than pulisic lately

  2. The Mantis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Should I take Mount or Teilemans out for Grealish? Or dont bother

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Neither this week.

      Do Tielemans to Grealish for GW18

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Both need to go. Maybe keep them for this week as they have good fixtures.

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

      Either in 18 or Mount this week if you don’t think he starts.

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mount. He is awful.

    5. fgdu
      • 10 Years

  4. GreennRed

    Very quick quiz!

    Vardy has now scored in 8 consecutive Premier League games.

    What is the record number of consecutive Premier League games one player has scored in and who is the player?

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

      11 man himself.

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy with 11

    3. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's eleven, it's heaven for Jamie Vardy!

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Additional quiz question:

      What is 1 + 1?

    5. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Vardy and rvn ?

    6. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I think it’s 10 and it’s held by the man chasing it

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

    8. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

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

      Extremely very quick quiz! Fair play lads. What chance he'll go 4 more games?

    10. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Too easy!

    11. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's.... Jamie Vardy

    12. fantasyfog
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      just lost a whole lot of respect for this site

  5. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Would you do Pulisic to Grealish this week despite Chelsea’s BOU fixture (with BOU injuries...)?

    Can do that, Pulisic to Alli for a tough Wolves away fixture, or hold Pulisic another week...

    Already done Laca to Rashforr, got 1FT 1.3 ITB

    1. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Laca to Rashford

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Done already...

  6. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Got 2 ft but triple pool.
    This week thinking
    Tomori and Stephens to
    Kelly and Traore.
    I could then hold all 3 pool players on bench for 18.
    Better ideas? currently .5 ITB

    Guaita

    Robbo TAA Lundstram

    Mane KDB Son Tielmans

    Vardy Abraham Ings

    McGovern Soy Tomori Stephens

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering Kane?

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

      Bit too much

    2. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli & Son are better

      1. fantasyfog
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        kane and son are betterer

    3. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Better cheaper options

    4. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I considered him as a Tammy replacement 3 GW ago but haven’t since.

      Was he outstandingly better than Alli/Son yesterday?

    5. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes depends on Tomori

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

      Have him. Not as convinced by him as by Son.

    7. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No

    8. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Now having many forward options in Vardy, Rashford, Tammy and Ings who are cheaper and can get the same returns.. I'd rather double up on Spurs mid.

  8. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on Tielemans & Jimenez to Grealish & Rashford for (-4) this week?

  9. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lundstram points seems to work only when coming of my bench.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Time to cash in

  10. All For One
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Patricio to who? (Already have Lundstram)

    5.3 Mil ITB was thinking Henderson but their form doesn't seem great. lost against Newcastle and conceded against Norwich

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ryan or Guaita

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cool thanks

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

      Guaita all the way. Good run of fixtures, I may worry about their defence absentees but they managed Bou game playing with a red card. So good to go.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yeh thanks I've gone for Guaita I also have Kelly

  11. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I will never get fooled into picking several players from a newly promoted team again. GTFO of my team Sheffield duds

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Who do you have? Lund and?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Henderson and Mousset

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

      That’s a casual, amateur mistake.

      You learn from it at least.

      1. Jafoole_88
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Brosstan reeks of casual.. such a casual.

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I know, mistake is spending too much time on here listening. Loads of casual advice clouding my better judgment

    3. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same. Henderson out. Lundy stays as I bought him for 4m

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
