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.

    Jimenez massively owned by 35% will be a red arrow for many if he does well today.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      No, IMO. He is still attacking. Sheffield Utd have some easier home games coming up. That is where they keep their CS.

    Steve Bruce. Newcastle fans should actually apologise, and admit he's doing quite well.

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years

      if the season was only 16 games you'd have a good point

      Saaaaaame

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

      A Mane cameo would've been so good.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        SO so good.

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It is annoying but had Mane started I think he probably comes close to that score.

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      Yeah i never seem to see cameo captains

    5. Woy_is_back

      Yup

  17. Hotdogs for Tea

    65 all out ... need a sofa for the rest of the game week

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

      What for. To see and relax with your sunglasses on.

      1. Hotdogs for Tea

        two games without a player ... could kill me

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    All differential advantage of Salah / Son / Kane captaincy wiped away (and Mané too, for different reasons). Seems to be a hallmark of this season...

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

    Jonjo Shelvey an option as a 5th midfielder?

  20. Red Rock
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Is this worth a -4?

    Connolly, Zaha, Tomori -> Ings, Cantwell, Aurier

    TAA Lundstram Soyuncu Rico Tomori
    KDB Mane Grealish Pulisic Zaha
    Vardy Kane Connolly

  21. ChelseaGuy

    So Sheffield have lost their defensive stability?

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Take the profit and run

  22. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years

    72 all out

    if Danny boys gets triple Baps (like Total Recall)

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

    Shelvy 3
    Ings 2
    Fernandez

    It’s 26,25,24 though so could go any way, close!

    Ryan and Jimmy in this one. Probably a clean sheet for Brighton the best option for rank.

      Screw it, I want a Jimi hattrick given he's coming off the bench for Mané

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

        Benching Jimmy in the first place was rather bold

          It was him or Pulisic - chose wrong. The high class problem of a strong front 8.
