Ings the most-owned FPL asset as Southampton take on Watford

The bottom two clubs in the Premier League face one another at St. Mary’s in the evening kick-off, as Southampton entertain Watford.

Kick-off on the south coast is at 17:30 GMT.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes one enforced change to the Southampton side that drew 2-2 with Arsenal last weekend.

Moussa Djenepo is promoted to the starting XI in place of Stuart Armstrong, who is ruled out with a hamstring problem.

Sofiane Boufal makes the bench, having stubbed his toe in midweek.

Quique Sanchez Flores has made two changes to the Watford team that lost 3-0 at home to Burnley.

Left-back Adam Masina looks like he is filling in at centre-half as he replaces the injured Craig Dawson in defence, while Ismaila Sarr comes in for striker Andre Gray up top.

Roberto Pereyra has overcome a thigh strain but is only among the substitutes, as is Troy Deeney.

Not a single player on show this evening can boast a double-digit ownership.

Danny Ings is the most-owned player involved in tonight’s game, sitting in 6.5% of Fantasy Premier League squads.

Ings has scored five goals in the last seven Gameweeks, picking up nine bonus points along the way.

The Saints haven’t won since September, however.

Watford have kept clean sheets in three of the last six Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Redmond, Obafemi, Ings.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Masina, Cathcart, Holebas, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Deulofeu, Sarr.

    Is pulisic gonna get benched against villa?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      yes he looked tired

    2. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Touch and go but you have to play him

    3. Shineonme
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He did look knackered..seeing the next game is on tue I'd say yes he'll be rested.

      1. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        He will come of the bench perhaps, right now he is their most dangerous player.

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I would be very surprised if he was especially if Abraham is still out. Giroud ineffective and unlikely to start now .

  2. BrutalLogiC

    This captaincy malarkey is highly frustrating.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Ive just left it on Vardy for the time being, seems to be working.

    Southampton are so bad, I can feel a pukki party midweek

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He won't have recovered from tomorrow's party

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

      Bald Pukki never stops partying!

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Hassenhuttl will be gone soon.

  4. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Probably bad timing but who would be the best to keep for the forseeable?
    A. Martial.
    B. Pulisic.
    C. Both (blocks spurs mid or Abraham if fit)

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      B. Martial probably getting another injury soon, he always does.
      Also, Chelsea a better team and Pulisic has higher a ceiling. Maybe higher risk of rotation though.

  5. Atimis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Have 2 FTs, wanna do Pope to Henderson with one and should I keep another one?
    Been thinking about KDB to Spurs mid but probably should keep for Burnley, the only other option would be tragic Auba performance this week.

    Pope*
    TAA/Soy/Lund
    Mane/KDB/Pulisic/Maddison
    Auba/Vardy/Jim

    Button/Tomori/Rico/Hayden

  6. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Would you swap Mount to Zaha for free? Have Pulisic too.

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

    2. NABIL - FPL otai

    4 years, 5 months ago

    Which?

    A) lowton to sheff. Def., 433 bench mount
    B) mount to puli/tiele/madds/zaha, 343 bench lowton
    C) roll ft, 343 mount start lowton bench

  8. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Surely Alli won't rise tonight? Just want to make sure Vardy gets through ok Sunday.

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

      103.7 now, will go very close at least.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

    4. SEXY SON
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Why do people do transfers so quickly. Annoying

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        To catch price rises

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Its not annoying but rather baffling.

        1. SEXY SON
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Thatbtoo

      3. Brosstan

        FOMO

      4. Yank Revolution

        Short week -- games on Tues!

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      He will rise for sure.

    6. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks gents I'll pull the trigger. Still have my wildcard anyways.

  9. jg7u
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    How did Mount play? Worth holding for Villa?

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      no

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years

      https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/1059833/

      Should start unless dropped.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Lol

      2. jg7u
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        I have seen the stats. More interested in the eye test.

  10. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Pope. Keep or time to jump on Guaita for the lovely run?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Im taking a hit. Probably ill advised but I have other things I want to do as well and I can see it working out over the next 6+ gameweeks

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking about the same

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I'm getting rid I think, deciding between Hendo and Guaita.

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Palace played very well today and Burnley were awful so probably time to bin Pope

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Everyone will advocate jumping ship, but I dont have the funds to make that 'upgrade'

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

      definitely keep, he's been reliable and nailed. first. choice

    6. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I plan to swap for Henderson.

  11. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    If i get Zaha, i'm all set for CRY triple up lol

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      What other cpl players you have? It will work out provided you patiently hold for nextv7

  12. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    England get Croatia

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Bogey team, ugh.

    2. Rainer

      Pleasant memories.

      1. CRO KLOPP

        Oh no, it's Cro

  13. SH1M1
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha worth a punt for Mount? Palace have a good run of fixtures coming up, only unsure based on how inconsistent he has been this year fpl wise

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely worth a punt, especially atvthat price.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Zaha probably has the best fixturerun of all midpriced midfielders.

  14. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    dont think I want to watch this, zero quality anywhere on the pitch

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

    Anyone know when Matip is due back ? Can only hold on to both Pool FB ' s for so long whilst the worlds greatest defender is starting every week.

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Last I heard was hes out until after new years. Was just someone on here though so might be bollocks

    Best striker to replace Abraham - 7.3 budget?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I wud change the formation and go with an extra mid at that price

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe ings

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'd to for Mousset. If not him then Ings.

  20. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Man, Hendo has a nice 5 game run after tomorrow.

    NEW, nor, AVL, bha, WAT

    1. Atimis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      My Pope replacement

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Might get instead of Guaita actually (need the cash)

        1. Atimis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah don’t have 5.0 for GK

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Guaita not bad too

      1. Atimis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        5.0 is much harder to find

      2. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        More expensive tho (5.0 v 4.7)

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Ah didnt realised that

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Was initially set on Guaita but didnt realize he was 5.0 so I'll go for Hendo instead most likely. Taking a hit as Pope looked bad and fixtures are terrivle short and long term

  21. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Tammy (early) owners, what are your plans?

    Thinking of selling but the options a re not great within a budget of 8.2mil

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      I got in Ings

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, that was my first thought as well, but I dont know... it does not feel right. Maybe take a hit a change formation for a 5 th mid or getting Rashford in...

    2. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe take a hit and get Rashford?

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Plan is to keep. Got benching headaches if he is fit and have value tied up in him.

    4. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping until more information, don't really fancy anyone else around his price range and already got a little money in the bank so no need to downgrade, him being out solves a defensive benching headache anyway.

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Already sold Friday as part of a -8 hit (Son, Jimenez, Kelly in)

      1. El Presidente

        I got all of those 3 already

    6. Bobby Digital

        • 7 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        I have Abrahams and I don't think he's back for tue sadly. I'm looking to transfer out tonight for Jesus or even do a -4 and get Jesus for Abrahams and pope for hendo ? What do you guys think

    9. jia you
      • 7 Years

      Double Palace in for a hit...why not!
      Mount + Janmaat to Zaha + Kelly

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Kelly n ayew here.. will probably triple up now

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

          why not, great fixtures and Woy still has it!

      2. Party time
          4 years, 5 months ago

          I like it. Zaha looks like a bargain tbh

          1. Party time
              4 years, 5 months ago

              I am also likely to bring in Kelly

            • jia you
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              yeah, fixtures are great and Zaha loves to perform as the Jan transfer window approaches

                My thoughts exactly. He spends more time in the shop window than a TK Maxx mannequin.

        • The 12th Man

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Probably gonna keep KDB and Auba, get Spurs after midweek

            • 6 Years

            United are a shambles but they might have a point to prove against Jose.

            Should be feisty

          A Pompey fan watching a Saints team devoid of any quality and praying for 90 minutes that nobody breathes on Danny Ings is the kind of thing that real FF managers go through for their cause. It's the wet, windy, Wednesday away night in stoke of FF.

          Desolation

            Ings has made it to 90mins twice this season. He'll get subbed at some point to give you some bonus time to do something else.

              One goal in off his arse crack and a 65 minute sub is a result

          Anyone know why Pieters came on? Injury or tactical? Obviously wasn't to protect a lead...

            Injury I believe

            Taylor came off in the first half.

            Thanks. Bad injury? Pieters likely to start next few?
