Scouting the Doubles – Southampton
Filed under: Scouting The Doubles - Posted by: Paul
A 5-1 home defeat at the hands of Chelsea in last weekend’s FA Cup Third Round fixtures was hardly morale-boosting for Southampton but the result afforded Fantasy managers their first double Gameweek of the New Year. The Saints now travel to Villa Park this Saturday before rolling up to the Bridge the following Wednesday as Nigel Adkins plots revenge for their St Mary’s humiliation:
The Prospects
While their form on the road has hardly impressed, with just a single victory on their travels, Southampton’s recent away displays will perhaps give potential investors cause for optimism. Having tasted defeat in each of their first five outside of St Mary’s, Adkins’ side have lost just one of the subsequent four, with a win and a couple of draws also thrown in. They hit three past QPR at Loftus Road and also scored three times at Stoke in their last away game – a hugely impressive display, given that the Potters had shipped just four in the previous nine at the Britannia.
The trip to Villa clearly holds the most promise. Paul Lambert’s erratic side have shipped 17 goals in their last four matches, with seven goals conceded in their last two home fixtures, though the midweek match with Chelsea could prove problematic – the Blues have been particularly miserly since the arrival of Rafa Benitez, with a single goal against in four matches at the Bridge under the new manager. Bearing in mind that strike was in their previous home match, in a 1-0 defeat at the hands of QPR, Adkins’ side will travel to London with hopes of producing another upset.
Jack Cork ‘s return to action in Gameweek 11 has been significant to an upturn in resilience – the Saints have conceded more than a single goal just once since Cork’s installation in central midfield, though it’s worth noting that they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any away game thus far. Cork has also been deployed at right-back in recent matches, with Nathaniel Clyne troubled by injury. That’s seen Steven Davis drafted into midfield areas but, should Clyne be available for the forthcoming matches, it could see Adkins revert Cork back to the engine room role.
The Likely Lads
Rickie Lambert is the obvious option. Adkins’ first-choice pick in the Saints’ 4-2-3-1 formation, Lambert has started all but two of his side’s league games this term and has featured in the first XI from Gameweek 9 onwards. The 6.2 priced forward has picked up more new owners than any Southampton player heading into the double – almost 70,000 Fantasy managers have clambered aboard the bandwagon for the best value forward in the game so far. Up to sixth in the forward standings in FPL, with 95 points accrued, Lambert has scored in three of his last four away games and with two assists and eight bonus points also accrued, has racked up 34 points over that quartet of fixtures.
With Adam Lallana remaining on the sidelines, Adkins will require strong displays from his attacking midfield regulars. Gaston Ramirez missed the weekend cup defeat due to a dead leg but is expected to recover in time for the Villa game – the Uruguayan brings a touch of real class to the Saints’ offensive forays and has produced a goal, an assist and five bonus points over his last couple of league appearances. Coming in at 5.6, he remains firmly under the radar with an ownership of less than 1% and could be a real differential.
Jason Puncheon has picked up over 50,000 new owners this week, with his cut-price appeal proving irresistible for many. The right winger has scored or assisted in seven of his 17 starts for the Saints this term, with a couple of goals and six assists to his name thus far – five of those have come at home, however, with his last set of attacking returns on the road back in Gameweek 12 at QPR. At 4.9, though, Puncheon is a relatively risk-free option and offers the option of a budget fifth midfielder for our squads beyond the double.
At the back, faith is understandably tempered in light of Southampton’s above-mentioned away defensive record. Fantasy managers will be scouring the back-four for potential but with doubts over their highest scoring defenders, Jose Fonte and Nathaniel Clyne, it’s hard to justify any other options. Danny Fox is the only other Saints defender to score or assist this season but lost his first-team spot to Luke Shaw back in Gameweek 11. Shaw has started the last ten league games and, at just 4.0, is earning interest in the light of doubts surrounding Fonte and Clyne.
Cheeky Punt
For those willing to take a risk, Artur Boruc may appeal. The stopper started the previous league game and was also selected for the weekend cup clash against Chelsea, suggesting he may have edged ahead of the likes of Kelvin Davis and Paulo Gazzaniga in the pecking order once again. Coming in at 4.4 in FPL, he’ll likely benefit from save points should clean sheets fail to materialise and, as our recent Wildcard Goalkeepers article suggests, Southampton rotate well with Villa over the next few, allowing us to hold beyond the double – unlike Chelsea’s Ross Turnbull, whose game time is threatened by the impending return of Petr Cech.

Its always the tendency to go for a cheaper defence on a WC. Not necessarily correct though. I do have a penchant for expensive defenders though.
January 9 at 4:10 pm

But every time I go for an expensive defence I end up downgrading and am left with one..Ive gone with 2 then 3 then 2 and now 1 on my WC.

I wonder if we might see Jermain Defoe get another rest against QPR? With Adebayor leaving for the ACON Defoe will be required to play every game for an, if they’re unlucky, rather long period of time. Could we see a Dempsey behind Adebayor front two perhaps, or am I just talking myself into Demba Ba when I don’t need to?
January 9 at 4:12 pm

Wont Ade be off before the weekend?

No, he’s unfortunately staying for the QPR game before he leaves.

drakesdrum says:
Henriquez is an intriguing prospect. I’ve seen him a lot for Universidad de Chile and he was exceptional. The system they play was incredibly attacking and fluid and Henriquez benefited by having a lot of chances created for him and a lot of La U’s play was camped in the opponents’ half. His off the ball play is great, so he creates space himself, but there’s no way he’ll see as much action for Wigan as he did for La U. He’s great in the box but Wigan aren’t a team to camp the opposition in those areas. Kone is good for Wigan in that he has the physique to boulder through and suck up the ball to help Wigan progress up the pitch.
Besides all of that though, I’m not sure how many minutes he’ll get in any case myself. However, if 5 strong midfielders is your strategy then he’s certainly a better choice than Pog imo.
January 9 at 4:17 pm
rdpx says:
If he does start banging them in then 4.5 is going to be an astonishing bargain.

So the reasoning goes
1. Torres is fanously rubbish
2. Ba is 3rd highest FPL scorer from playing at Newcastle
3. Newcastle are rubbish
4. Chelsea are good
THEREFORE:
Ba at Chelsea is going to be scoring 25 points every week.

He was only poor early on on the game. He got better. Though you’d have to be nuts to select him.
January 9 at 4:34 pm
Jester1987 says:
I suppose he is their first choice keeper at the moment since Davis simply seems to lack EPL quality and Gazzaniga is still too young and inexpereinced. However i think Soton would be well advised to ship out both Boruc and Davis and get in a quality goalkeeper with Gazzaniga as his understudy.

January 9 at 4:38 pm
Never Ever Bench Michu !! says:
yeah exactly Rvp ! bit too expensive for me jus now but ! will bring in fellaini definitely !!
January 9 at 4:40 pm
rvp786 says:
yeh bring in felliani if u can – his next 4 fixtures are perfect for him to inflict damage. his price will shoot up

Afternoon all,
How is this line-up looking? Am I mad starting harte and Martin ahead of ShawX and Gibbs? Better fixtures…
Bunn (Begovic)
Harte, Martin R, Ivanovic (Gibbs, Shawcross )
Michu,Walcott,Mata (c), Fellaini (Marveaux )
Suarez,Van Persie,Lambert

rvp786 says:
good enough. although i would play one of bego/shawz
January 9 at 4:28 pm
ctrim says:
Cabaye back soon – swap Marveaux
Play shawcross over Martin – don’t be surprised if stoke suffocate Chelsea

Roonani says:
Better option for this week ?
1) A. cole + Berba
2) Sagna and Ba
January 9 at 4:29 pm
rvp786 says:
this week only – 1
January 9 at 4:29 pm
Kostja says:
A for me
January 9 at 4:29 pm

1
January 9 at 4:44 pm
Roonani says:
Abit worries for Ba exploding. Thinking of doing 1 and then bring in Gibbs for A cole for Arsenal’s double.
