Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at Villa Park, where Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard square off for the first time as managers.

Kick-off between Aston Villa and Everton is at 12:30 BST.

One of the most-selected players in this fixture, the 17%-owned Leon Bailey, drops to the bench this lunchtime as Gerrard recalls Ollie Watkins to play in a front two with Danny Ings.

“Ollie Watkins is ready, he has had his strongest week since we have been back. Last week we were a bit toothless, so going two up there I am hoping we get more success.” – Steven Gerrard

The Villa manager’s other change comes at centre-half as deposed captain Tyrone Mings returns to the starting XI at the expense of Ezri Konsa.

There are also two alterations made by Lampard, both of which are enforced due to serious injuries sustained by Yerry Mina and Ben Godfrey last week.

New signing Conor Coady and Mason Holgate come in at centre-half as the Everton boss persists with the striker-less set-up of Gameweek 1 despite Salomon Rondon‘s availability.


GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Diego Carlos, Mings, Digne, Ramsey, Kamara, McGinn, Watkins, Ings, Coutinho.

Subs: Konsa, Douglas Luiz, Buendia, Chambers, Augustinsson, Young, Olsen, Bailey, Archer.

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Holgate, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, McNeil, Doucoure, Iwobi, Gray, Gordon.

Subs: Keane, Onana, Begovic, Alli, Coleman, Davies, Ruben Vinagre, Rondon, Mills.

          Someone says something that upsets you. Do you:

          B. Try to make everyone around you only say things you like hearing
          C. Develop your mental strength to handle hearing things you don't like

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

  7. Rainer

  8. Stranger Mings

    Bailey got 11 mins plus stoppage time

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

    2. Berkshire Hafaway-Line
      • 5 Years

    Digne playing any good ?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bit of promise from him & Cash but it's most due to Everton being awful.

    2. Retired
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      5 points so far, another yellow card though!

  12. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Alli to the rescue

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      This.

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Deli Alli is washed up at the age of 26 lol

  14. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Coady -> Alli is good for Bailey...

  15. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Here's Alli

  16. JIMMY TUGGINS

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        100% nailed to start that imo.

  17. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Deli Alli is still to this day one of the most naturally talented players in the Premier League, his career is a tragedy.

    1. Fat Frank
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Still time for him to turn it around

  18. Bored Ape Jota Club
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
