Barkley fails to recover as ill Konsa misses out on Aston Villa’s clash with Burnley

Fantasy Premier League’s third most-owned player features in the penultimate match of Gameweek 13 this evening.

Jack Grealish (£7.8m) is owned by 43.6% of FPL managers heading into tonight’s clash between Aston Villa and Burnley, with kick-off in the West Midlands at 18:00 GMT.

Grealish is also among the top ten most-captained assets of Gameweek 13, with 182,447 Fantasy bosses handing him the armband.

The Villa talisman is unsurprisingly part of Dean Smith’s starting XI this evening but there are some notable omissions from what has been one of the most settled sides in the division this season.

Smith has made four changes to his line-up, three of which are enforced.

Douglas Luiz (£4.9m) and Matty Cash (£5.0m) are both suspended, with Marvelous Nakamba (£4.3m) and Ahmed Elmohamady (£4.3m) coming into the side to replace them.

Anwar El Ghazi (£5.7m) is recalled for the benched Jacob Ramsey (£4.5m), while Kortney Hause (£4.4m) is in for the ill Ezri Konsa (£4.8m).

Ross Barkley (£5.9m) has failed to recover in time and isn’t even among the substitutes.

The Burnley team news is straightforward, with Sean Dyche sticking with the same XI that started the 1-0 win at Arsenal last Sunday.

The Clarets have kept clean sheets in three of their last four away matches, although did ship five at Manchester City in Gameweek 10.

Nick Pope (£5.4m) has the same points-per-match average as Emiliano Martinez (£4.8m) this season (5.3), with no other regular starting goalkeeper able to beat that mean.

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Elmohamady, Hause, Mings, Targett, McGinn, Nakamba, Grealish, Traore, Watkins, El Ghazi.

Burnley XI: Pope, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Brady, Westwood, Brownhill, McNeil, Wood, Rodriguez.

    I hate Ollie Watkins. What a disaster he has been.

      That postponed Villa-Newcastle game was a blessing, moved Watkins to Adams. Never getting that clown back in again.

      Bruno been massively overhyped. Prepare to be disappointed. First away blank since he joined the PL.

        "First away blank since he joined the PL" makes a bit of hype kinda reasonable against a team currently threatening Derby County's PL record surely!

        Overhyped in the context of this game week. Let it be noted I think he is an excellent FPL option.

      Have 2FTs. Looking to fund Son. Thoughts on this plan?

      gw14 - Chilwell > Reece & save FT
      gw15 - Grealish, Wilson > Son, Dec-Reid (and switch to 352)

      McCarthy, Forster
      Chilwell, Lamptey, Targett, KWP, Kilman

            Will probably keep both Grealish and Watkins for favourable fixtures in next 2 GW's, but really stuck with the keeper...
