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.

    Feel it would be best to roll over the FT for midweek. God knows what sort of rotation we'll see at City and Chelsea. Spurs face United away, Pool have a derby and Arsenal... yeah they are still Arsenal.

    Zaha or Maddy?

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Zaha because of fixtures.

    To those who've been playing FPL for a long while... is this season unusually difficult than normal or nah? It's only my 3rd season playing FPL but I can't recall making so many wrong decisions in succession before. It's actually getting laughable now, I might start doing the exact opposite of what I think.

    I've had a 6k finish and a 33k finish so I'm not totally clueless. This season I can't break 600k and spent most of it above 1M.

    Dear Diary.

      This season hasn't been for Punts i guess. So Play safe in captain selections and transfers I guess

      No noting really unusual about this season only the glut of bargain players to chose from.

      Just keep making moves and try and get some enjoyment from the game and i am sure your form will pick up in time.

      This season has been brilliant so far because other than Lundstram there has been no real template.

      Look at the front 3 - Kane, Vardy, Rashford, Ings, Jimenez, Laca, Tammy, Kun etc

      So many different options, it’s been so refreshing everybody having different teams but made it so much harder as well.

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years

        this

      Yea... season of the casual for sure.

    6. Arn De Gothia

      i think so, prices makes it harder. my 9:th season i think, top 130 once 🙂

    3. AndyCook

        If Vardy gets 10 points then not good..

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Already done Mount to Alli?

      Points chasing?

      1. iL PiStOlErO

        Not neceserilly

        Nah

      3. antis0cial

        Nah good move

      4. EMBOLOFAN

        if youve already done it why does it matter

        He could (maybe should) have had a mega-haul today.

        Sound.

      6. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        No great move

    5. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Is this worthy of a WC?

      Current team 2.2 itb
      Pope McGovern
      TAA Soy Lund Tomori Rico
      Mane Kdb Son Tielemans Pulisic
      Vardy Tammy Connolly

      WC Team .4 itb
      Hendo Martin
      TAA Soy Lund Aurier Kelly
      Mane KDB Son Ali Zaha
      Vardy Tammy Mousset

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        If you have WC why not utilize for GW 18 blank? Move out pool assets in GW 18 and then buy them back in GW 19 WC

        1. antis0cial
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Not sure it’s worth waiting to shift 2 players

          1. OverTinker
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            I said that because you don't really need it with current players

            1. antis0cial
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah it’s a decent plan, it just feels like I could get a more solid squad using now. I’m quite happy with my team, but I’m still seeing red arrows!

              1. OverTinker
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 4 months ago

                Might be because of wrong captain selections which could so easily happen after WC

                1. OverTinker
                  • 5 Years
                  4 years, 4 months ago

                  But just checked and pool have 3 red fixtures just after blank so might not be a good idea.

    6. Atimis
      • 7 Years

      Have 2 FTs, wanna do Pope to Henderson with one and would you keep the other one?

      Been thinking about KDB to Spurs mid but probably should keep for Burnley, the only other option would be Auba out but hope he performs tomorrow...

    7. Wally banter
      • 11 Years

      25 with usual suspects [soy, jim, lund, maddi, vardy c] and laca left, is it too much to expect a green arrow? Below avg score atm

    8. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Kane -> Vardy is a no Brainer ?
