After Alexis Sanchez ended Double Gameweek 37 with a season-high 27 points, Wednesday night’s meeting at St Mary’s has a lot to live up to.

Southampton entertain Manchester United in the penultimate showdown of a seven-day round of fixtures, and it’s fair to say that Claude Puel and Jose Mourinho both owe us a favour after their recent penchant for rotation scuppered many best-laid wildcard plans.

The Saints’ boss reinstalls a number of regulars after the 2-1 win at Middlesbrough on Saturday. Snapped up by 40,000+ and 27,000+ respectively for their second successive Double Gameweek, Jack Stephens and Manolo Gabbiadini return to the first XI along with the likes of Dusan Tadic, Nathan Redmond and Cedric Soares.

Despite mustering just a single assist in his last six league outings, Gabbiadini is his side’s most captained player, with 15,000+ handing him the armband for the Double.

Fantasy faith in United is at a low as Mourinho looks to keep his main men fresh with one eye on next week’s Europa League final against Ajax.

Marcus Rashford continues to be used sparingly on the domestic stage and is handed a third successive appearance on the bench, though Wayne Rooney is named in the first XI for the fourth successive league outing.

Having found the net in three of his last four Gameweek appearances, the Red Devils’ skipper is the most captained FPL asset among Mourinho’s starting line-up, with almost 28,000 affording him the armband.

    3 players on the pitch, already down to one point after 5 mins. You have to laugh...

    I've been planning Gabbiadini>Giroud for GW 38. Essentially taking out a donkey for another one...

    1. Toothless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      At least Giroud is a donkey that sometimes bundles it in to the goal.

    2. FP El Wonky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud is a fabulous donkey

  13. NATSTER

    Was it a bad penalty or a good save ?

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      See above

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both

    3. Berbalove
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      To be fair, it was not the worst penalty - it even hit the target.

  14. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So far -8 for gabbi to vardy looks worth it 😉

    I clearly missed the Gabbiadini wagon. Absolutely zero return from him so far.

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I was one the first one, the fun one and unfortunately this one too

  17. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Fu*king Gabbiadini...

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    FWIW it would of been a Cedric assist

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not even a pen though

    2. BRFC1883
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      worthless

  19. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Romero is a great penalty stopper though, saved us against Netherlands

  20. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who would like to slap Gabbiadini?
    O/

    Gabbi = numpty.

  22. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Someone tell me why I thought Gabbi was ever a good option since he came back from injury lol

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      cheap and DGW perhaps?

  23. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    To be honest it's not a bad pen

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      most penalty saves are bad penalties!

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's true.

    2. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If it's not in it ain't good that's for sure

    3. ralfb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not for all non gabbi owners , indeed

    On a bright side, Gabbi by just starting has blocked 10pts from Stanislas in my ML leader's team and 19 of Coutinho of another rival below me.

  25. twoplustwo

    Gabbi is a metaphor for my season

  26. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hm.

    Gabbi & Hazard ---> Vardy & Fabs?

  27. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    This has 0-0 written all over it

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For a brief moment it had 1-0

  28. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    -3 pts for Gabbi(TC)..For a DGWer, what a disappointment 😀

  29. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    SIMS to rise from the dead and lol at us all

  30. Berbalove

    9 years, 1 month ago

    With Anichebe and Gabbiadini in my team, I'd rather have the chip "park the bus" than AOA.
