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.

    McGinn dive, no pen

    1. Agger
      • 8 Years

      Isn't he on a yellow though?

    Newcastle defenders love scoring goals

  3. Maddi Son

    So happy I chose Willems over Fernandez this week.

    Doh Ings bps in danger

  5. Rainer

    McGinn streetwise

    Goal by defender again NEW

    There's still quite a few in the community who don't have Vardy.. That's just mental

    1. The Mandalorian

      Mark for starters

      1. Agger
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        He's too stubborn to get him in as he's playing catch up, I'd probably do the same!

    2. Cok3y5murf

      Some are doing very well without him.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        That should read, "Doing well in SPITE of not owning him"...that's increased luck - and will run out. I hope they remain stubborn.

          Rashford, Tammy, Jimenez, Ings are 4 other forwards that have been consistent. A lot of Kane owners captained him this week. Pick any 3. Not a huge loss.

            11 goals, 3 assists, and 14 bonus points. He's by FAR the best player in the game over the past 8 weeks, it doesn't matter if others have been doing well, he's doing the best. Hence, "in spite".

      There will be a moment to leave the Vardy party and timing it right will be critical.

      I'm just not sure when it's likely to be.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        When he turns 36 maybe.

        In which case I win as both Salah and vardy owner

        My rivals only have mane and vardy

      5. schwing
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Kane cappers

    • Gaddafi
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ings is the most in-form player right now aside from Vardy.

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Grealish just jumping on the ground at this stage.

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

        pretty much sums it up. hoping he doesn't get carded

    • Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      The great thing about ings is if he scores he gets 3bps

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

        Yep, nobody else to compete.

      2. nerd_is_the_werd
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Not on this occasion...

        1. Postman Ty
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

        Be nice to those who meet on your way up, mate, you might met us again on the way down 😉

    • Hotdogs for Tea

      Ings off

    • diesel001
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Leicester, understandably, have dropped their intensity the last 10 mins.

    • iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      After great Saturday here comes chaotic Sunday. Fpl at its best.

    • Silecro
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      How do I buy Rashford here?

      Gazza
      TAA, Soy, Lund
      Mane, KDB, Son, Maddison
      Vardy, Tammy, Jimenez

      Bench: button, Kelly, Rico, Hayden

      2 free transfers, 0.3 itb

      1. rubberdignerapids
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Kdb + Jiménez -> rash + alli

      2. El Magico5
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Same with .6 in the bank. Thinking KDB to someone but who? My differing players are guaita, heaton, willems and dunk and ings. What you thinking?

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

      Average 10K 54 and 5 points substituted in ... that high man

    • Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Fourth attacking return from Fernandez in 7 matches. Might have to take a closer look at him

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

      Jimenez hattrick would be phenomenal

    • Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pathetic from Grealish

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        The last few minutes he's lost his head with a few dirty afters.

    • Zilla
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Would be nice if Jiminez do a farewell gift.

    • FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ings, Guaita, Jimmy, Vardy, son buys have to be my most brilliant fpl moves in the last 5 weeks. Went up by 1 million.

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

        Yeah Guita has been sweet. Kelly too.

      2. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        OR went up by 1M

      3. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I've had Ings for 6 weeks, intentionally benched for the first in which he blanked and have played the 5 since for 5 goals. Most satisfying move I've ever made I think. Makes up for all the failed ones.

    • PogChamp
      • 12 Years

      Newcastle doing great but there is no FPL value. I've got Willems but only because he's cheap.
