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

    Never thought Steve Cook would end up being the biggest sickener for me. On 3 bonus too... ugh

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

      I have him on the bench. Ffffff

      1. Rotation's Alter Ego

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

    I'd imagine people will be selling one of Aguero or Salah to fit Kane in, no way people can afford all 3 and have a decent team

    1. threeputt
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      no way selling aguero with his fixtures

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

      why? just bcoz kane got 1 goal at home vs a promoted team?they play the next 4 out of 5 away, next one against ManU.

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years

  4. windowview
    • 8 Years

    I really don't want to regret captaining Salah over Mendy

  5. Regin
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

      1. M'arvin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

  7. schwing
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Did Tosun contribute to anything today (besides my disappointment)

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Very good

    2. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Picked Jota and Tosun over Richalison and Zaha. Worked really well.

  8. TAT
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Crazy thinking about that wildcard already. No Mendy, no Mitro, no Maddison; have King, Doherty and Peltier.

    1. Texas Pete
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      How many free transfers?

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years

        lol brutal

  14. jia you
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    King + Eriksen to Ings + Hazard for free is tempting!

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

      Do it

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        think I will after this eve's game!

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

      Thinking same. But Hazza on the bench again I don’t like

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

      nah

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Why? Eriksen losing set pieces to Trippier is a game changer at his price!

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          i mean i wouldnt get hazard

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years

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

    Tosun, Jota, Mina >> Wilson, Richarlison, Trippier + 0.4 ITB looks like a good move right? Upgrades all round?

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Maybe but Trippier has mun, wat, LIV

    2. Sarriball
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Just to clarify, seeing a lot of 'casuals gw' 'casuals mopping up the pts' etc

      Is Kane, the nominal top goalscorer in the league, a casual pick? Howling

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

        Casual
