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

    Last question before I call it a night, how did Siggy look? Another blank and am tempted at ditching him, don't know who for though. He might have been unlucky though, didn't see the game.

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      It's 5 in the afternoon

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Some of us are in other parts of the world ya know. It's morning here for me..

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

        Its 2am in Sydney

        1. El Lobito 10
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          Ah ok. Carry on then.

  2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Cleaning up the Sanchez & King messes look good uses of 2 FT's this week.

    Poor form, save at least 0.2 in price drops, and maybe catch 0.1 or 0.2 of price rises

    1. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      To whom?

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

    How has Kane got Bonus and not Mitrovic ?!

    1. Spurred_On
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Amount of shots really, Kane could've had 3 or 4

      1. Spurred_On
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Also was much more involved in the game, had some great hold up play and passes

      2. Bill Haverchuck
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        No BPs for shots. Kane missed what I would consider two big chances as well so should've been docked BPs for that

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

      24 BPS needed for a BAP.

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

      he did stuff, mitrovic fell over and then scored a header while on his knees

    4. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Kane always gets bonuses and seems to do do FA

  4. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Which of these combos would be better to own moving forward?

    1. Fraser, Ings. (rotating as 5th mid + 3rd striker).
    2. Maddison, Kamara (prob going with Maddison 99% with Kamara a sub).

    Mane, Salah, Rich, Bilva, ______
    Mitrovic, Aguero, ______

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

      2

    2. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      1

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

      2

    4. Fabtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      My exact lineup (except Zaha for Mitro), so I'm facing the exact same conundrum. I'm favouring 1 at the moment, but will compare Maddison and Fraser's stats from the first two games before deciding. Ings could be a great enabler at 5.5 but will Southampton generate enough chances? That's my worry

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

    Wildcarders unite

  6. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Kane sneaking a BAP.

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      1 or 2

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

        1.

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

      Not 1 but 2
      Kane doesn't deserve a 8 pointer for that performance

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

        You'll be happy so.

  7. stachman
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Keep Tosun? How did he perform?

  8. amol
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Might use my 2 FTs:
    King > Ings
    Jota > Maddison

    Yay or nay?

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

      Could be my exact moves but Patricio with City next is frightening.

      1. Tired and weary
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Christ

    2. stachman
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I think I'll go Jota to Fraser... He looked really impressive today

    3. Shearer & Sutton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Yay

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

      Sorry King to Wilson is what I am thinking.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Or free up a Mill with Ings?

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

      wilson better option.

    6. Tired and weary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Considering exact same moves

  9. TheTinman

    5 years, 8 months ago

    Oh so Arnie on pens. Nice.

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

      Was unexpected with Noble on the pitch but a welcome surprise

  10. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    What happened to Peltier today.. No show? Not even on the bench?

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

      knock

  11. The Head-Ake
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Bilva or Maddison?

    1. The Road Dogg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Depends on your budget. Silva better option but depends what you do with the 1

  12. The Baby-faced Assassin
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Unanswered a few pages back.

    Would appreciate any feedback on this. Would you do -

    A) Jota > Maddison
    B) Jota > Fraser + 1 ITB

    (3-5-2)

    Or

    Jota > 4.5 and Kamara >

    C) Wilson + 0.5 ITB
    D) Mitrovic
    E) Ings + 1 ITB

    (3-4-3)

  13. TheTinman
    • 8 Years

    Oh my god. That Wilson goal. How bad are Hammers!!!!!!

  14. ZeBestee

    Ho did Jota perform? Worth keeping?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sell him. Didn't last 50 minutes

    2. Alex_thekid

  15. Maddi Son

    Need Sterling (c) to bail me out of this GW. Worst I can remember so far.

    1. El Lobito 10

      He will.

  16. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsey and Lacazette to Richarlison and Firmino? Not right now obviously.

    who should I ditch first?

    only watched the everton match and Tosun looks pretty invisible

    1. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years

      Really? I didn't watch but Sky Sports pundit said he was brilliant. Can't remember who.

    Why didn't mourinho tell anything about sanchez?

    1. M'arvin

    2. El Lobito 10

      He has Mané in his fantasy team.

    3. Crouching Tiger

      Might still be playing, just didn't travel with the squad. We don't know yet.

  20. Alex_thekid

    Best replacement for Jota
    1 Maddison
    2 Walcott
    3 Fraser
    4 Pedro
    5 some else
    Have 2 ft and probably will get rid of Doherty went off injured could downgrade to a 4m Bennett or Peltier and then I could get
    6 Richarlason
    Please help

    1. Carlton_Goal

      1

  21. Robman

    After a bad start last week, is 24(-4) for three any good?

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

      of course

    2. Touré De Force
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Solid but won't have any deals sense until City and Pool play, people will be hauling in 50+ from those games

  22. SneakyPete
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Any chance for Wilson to get 3 bonus and Is Theo Walcott safe for 3 bonus @TM

  23. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years

    Chilwell 38 bonus with only a clean sheet

  24. jimmy12
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    for anyone who plays Dream Team, right now would Tomkins to Tarkowski be a good move?

    Can see palace conceding a few and Burnley have upcoming:

    Tomorrow v Watford
    23/08 - Olympiakos v Burnley
    25/08 - Burnley v Fulham
    30/08 - Burnley v Olympiakos

    what am I missing?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      His studs connecting with Dohertys knee?

  26. El Lobito 10
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Kicked out Sanchez for a hit to bring in and captain Sterling. Unless Sterling is benched, it could be the luckiest hit I've ever taken.

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

    Pretty sure it's going to be king, Jota, Boly.

    to

    Ings, Maddison, 5.5.

    Just a matter of that 5.5 really

  28. windowview
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    My team as it stands. 95 points in the first week, 14 so far, 2 transfers to make:

    De Gea

    Robertson - Mendy - Tomkins
    Salah - Sane - B Silva - Richarlison
    Aubameyang - Arnie - King

    Subs: Hamer, Peltier, WB

    I'm not going to make any rash decisions yet, but if I start thinking of shipping out King, who should I be looking at?

    1. T.Henry14
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Sane&King --> Mahrez&Zaha

  29. Jules Rimet

    Anywhere i can find all gameweek deadline times? Gonna put them into my calendar. Feel like the 1 hour pre notification on the app is a too short window for me.

      It's always an hour before the first kick off.

  30. So Troublesome
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Maddison and Pereira produced the goods for me today, but King is testing my patience a bit. Hope he can get something in the next game.

    Anyone watched Bournemouth today?

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

      Get rid before its too late

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

      yeah king not so involved. I am also contemplating doing a sideways transfer to wilson & get the 0.5 in the bank. have 2 ft for next week.

    3. stachman
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Completely not involved... I'm selling

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

      Watched Bournemouth, King was very average but Wilson was very dangerous, could have scored more. Brooks looked very good too

      1. stachman
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        So was Fraser, imo... Second game 90 on pitch and only 5.5... I think he will replace Jota in my team

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

          Imo don't think Fraser did that much apart from the freekick assist, but points are what count in FPL

    5. So Troublesome
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Might to a swap for Wilson too, now. Thanks
