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.

      but he's injury prone etc.
      Think he's played a role in every game this season.
      Happy for others to ignore him

    why does this villa leicester game feel like a derby?

  3. Lovren an elevator

    Anyone considering Maddison vs norwich (former club) worth a leftfield captain punt?

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

      Ahead of Vardy & Mane.

      Don’t think it’s the GW for captain punts.

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

      Nah

    2. Crystal Alice
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

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

      Rashford have higher ceiling.. Especialy when Pogba back

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

        Pogba isn't coming back

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

          He will. Hopefully before new year

    4. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Hard to have all of them at the moment...I have Vardy, Abraham and Ings. Yesterday Rashford was killing me. Too many good choices not even spots

  9. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Lundstram goal ruled out by offside btw lads

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

      Nooooo

  10. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ricardo giving away so many fouls. He is close to a RC IMO.

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

      Hopefully and given that OG.

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

    Was the second Sheffield goal ruled out or not? My Live Updates are saying both at the same time

  12. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Where Lundy's assist?

  13. Alnair
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is Tielemans even still alive?

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

      Protecting the back 4 well.

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      i don't know why many think he's a solid pick. I'd rather the whole back four for Lei, even schmeichel at that price (besides maddi, and vardy)

  14. Stoic
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Grab a hattrick Hendo !

  15. diesel001

  17. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Tiele owners could save around 1.5m and just get his DM partner, Ndidi, for 5 mill.

  18. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    McGinn yellow

  19. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Going with Pulisic over Maddisson was a huge mistake

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

      Plenty of weeks left. Gonna ship Pulisic too.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I'm priced out rn

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

      Yep may transfer out Pulisic if he doesn't get a goal or assist against Bournemouth

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

    Vardy won’t score again

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years

    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    And what is up with Ings? Scoring like a 11m+ striker arm. Crazy stuff.

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

      This. My best buy of the season.
