Trippier could punish impatient sellers as Ings starts for Southampton

Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) could punish the 163,000+ managers who sold him for Gameweek 2 as he was handed his first start of the season against Fulham.

He remains the most popular Fantasy Premier League defender, with 22.2 percent ownership, even after missing out on Gameweek 1.

There is a full debut for Southampton’s Danny Ings (£5.5m) at Goodison Park, after he impressed in his cameo appearance at the end of Gameweek 1.

Hosts Everton went with Mason Holgate (£4.5m) at centre-back in the place of the suspended Phil Jagielka (£4.5m), while Leighton Baines (£5.5m) started at left-back once again.

Jonny Evans (£5.0m) is to make his bow in Leicester City colours today coming back from injury to replace Wes Morgan (£4.5m) in the starting line-up alongside Harry Maguire (£5.5m). Not surprisingly, Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) starts up front.

Ruben Neves (£5.1m) is Saturday’s most transferred in player with 388,000+ new owners, and he starts for Wolves at the King Power Stadium.

Bournemouth have named an unchanged XI for their trip to West Ham while Javier Hernandez (£6.5m) starts up front next to Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m).

EVERTON XI: Pickford; Baines, Holgate, Keane, Coleman; Schneiderlin, Gueye; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Tosun

SOUTHAMPTON XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Hoedt, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Lemina, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Austin, Ings

LEICESTER XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Maguire, Evans, Pereira; Mendy, Ndidi; Gray, Maddison, Albrighton; Vardy

WOLVES XI: Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; Jota, Jimenez, Costa

SPURS XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Eriksen, Lucas, Dele, Kane

FULHAM XI: Fabri, Fosu-Mensah, Chambers, Le Marchand, Bryan, Seri, Anguissa, Cairney, Kamara, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

WEST HAM: Fabianski; Masuaku, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Zabaleta; Anderson, Noble, Wilshere, Snodgrass; Arnautovic, Chicharito.

BOURNEMOUTH: Begovic; Daniels, Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Fraser, Surman, Gosling, Brooks; King, Wilson

    Those looking to get Kane, he's playing at OT next, I'd probably hold on for a week & check how aubameyang will do
    I'd rather go aubameyang & trippier
    As he's now on set pieces too
    King to mitrovic or ings

      I’m leaving for a bit. 1 goal, who cares.

    Tosun and King owners. What’s your move?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Selling for Auba

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wildcard, they suck

    3. Mic
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Wildcard

    4. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years

      waiting for next game, than assesment

    5. No Totti No Party
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      King -> Ings and give 1 more chance to Tosun

    6. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Keeping Tosun for now, selling King for Auba

  3. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Worrying thing for Eriksen is the go to change seems to be Dier to an attacking player and drop Eriksen deep

    1. thunder_mike
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah he is playing very deep and Trippier is going to get some more set pieces now. Alli looks better option or Moura who is basically a second striker.

  4. BrockLanders

    FPL dead

  5. Mic
    • 7 Years

    Austin owners. Whats the plan?

  6. Woy_is_back

    Anyone else wildcarding?

  7. twoplustwo

    Has Sánchez not travelled?!!

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Fk off

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      What?

      1. twoplustwo
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Sánchez not in the United squad apparently

    3. Duderino
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Would love that. Have Cook coming in from the bench

    4. clodhopper

      Dont

    5. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years

      Load of tosh

  8. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Deserved win for Bournemouth. Brooks (£5.0) was very active, don't know if he can keep his place on the starting eleven, but if he does, he can be an option as your 4th or 5th midfielder. Wilson (£6.0) much more in form than King (£6.5), if I'd own Joshua, I'd be concern. Fraser essential to his team, a bargain at £5.5.

    1. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Brooks looked miles better than Fraser tbh. Agree about Wilson being better than King who had little impact on the game

      1. tafrère
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Different style of player. Brooks is a proper winger, Fraser goes more inside. I think Fraser still made amazing runs and he's on set-pieces.

  9. Rust Cohle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    A bit surprised to see Hazard on the bench, but I guess Sarri thinks he’s more valuable against tired legs.

  10. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    So lucky so far, have Pereira, Richarlison and Mitro

    1. CaTriEm
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Exact same here.

        Great stuff

  11. Marvin of all he surveys
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Holy trinity of Patricio, Jota and King is my conundrum. Any ideas?

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hennessey, Cook, Ings?

      1. Marvin of all he surveys
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks for the reply. But they don't sound terribly enticing.

    2. ljuta zena
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      jota and king owner. jota out for neves, and cash 1.4

    3. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I still like the Bournemouth fixtures, so King -> Wilson on FT - release 0.5 and Wilson is going up 0.1 tonight...

    4. MTPockets
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Same. Probably fix Jota or wc.

    5. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Hazza still on the bench. Wow.

      1. MTPockets
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Stuff like that makes wc decision difficult.

      2. potatoace

        Maddison up front next week?

          Gutted he’s 2nd on my bench.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            That's unfortunate. He doesn't score many obviously so simply no telling when / if he will. I didn't have any better defensive options on my bench.

        2. De Gea Van Dijk. 10
          • 5 Years

          Has he ever out done this Gw.

        How did I avoid every single point so far lol , so many good options scoring today will drop from 300k to 3mil with my 2pts today. Atleast there is no way tmrw can be worse (hopefully)

      7. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Trippier way more offensive and involved, and on corners and set pieces. Bye bye Ben

              • 6 Years
              5 years, 8 months ago

              Davies would have assisted if Kane wasn't bent

        2. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          lol, Davies should have had 3 assists and had 3 shots in good positions too.

        Alonso and Kante/Jorginho or Luiz and Pereyra?

        Loads of people will be asking, but is it too soon for a Wildcard? Team just feels wrong! I want rid of both keepers, Jota, Tosun and maybe Mahrez depending on tomorrow.

        Patricio

        Mendy Shaw Robertson

        Mahrez Jota Salah Pogba

        Aguero Tosun Mitro

        Fabianski Kabasele Wan-Bissaka Billings
