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.

    If the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland qualify what groups will they be in?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I think Ireland and Northern Ireland play each other in the same playoff (if they make it through the semis).

      But if one of them makes it they would be with Spain, Sweden and Poland

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Oh yeah?

        I thought it was just the one game and then who ever wins that goes through but i could be wrong.

        Not the worst group then and if either make it they might have a chance of getting out of the group.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Its or not and between them.

      Spanish group.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Spain
      Sweden
      Poland

        Tough group that

  2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I'm trying to figure out how Kane didn't get any attacking returns earlier, bizarre!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He was defending.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He wasnt that impressive today

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Same for Salah and Mane too actually!

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      kane is no didier nor diego

    5. The Mandalorian
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I watched the game he played like a CAM

  3. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hassenhuttl has to be the next manager to be fired, right?

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It’s not like someone else would be better with that team

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Even Hughes did better

    2. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm thinking Silva.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yea forgot about him

    3. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I don't think so. It's a terrible terrible team. Really don't think he is doing that badly considering

  4. ragonian
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ings trap confirmed

    1. AuFeld
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Sell now before price drop!

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Can't believe I got Ings over Sarr. Every 50/50 calls goes wrong

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You bought a Southampton player? And even worse, attacker?!?

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Tammy back midweek after all the forward replacements blank?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      OMG

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nah my boy ings will score

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I held. Could have done Tammy to Jimenez but would be totally side was plus for a hit...

    4. AndyCook
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ings, Rashford and Jiménez to play yet

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

      big news for holders then

  7. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Soy, Martial, Maddison, Jimenez

    There's basically 0% any of those being rested isn't there?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Highly unlikely.

      Who's on your bench?

      1. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Cresswell ;(

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Given I'm a Chelsea fan... no condolences for you.

  8. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Countless blanks, lucky to get 10 points and has the cheek to say this...

    More points needed!

    https://twitter.com/trentaa98/status/1200833889360601088

    1. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      72 points from 7.2m?

      That's pretty much 200 point form.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I want 225 😉

    2. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ah it's 62 isn't it. Still absolutely fine!

  9. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I'll be rooting for Scotland in the play-offs. I want us to batter them at the Euros 👿

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Only 1 more Saints left manager till Christmas!

  11. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Please spare a thought for this idiot (me), who went KDB>Salah(c) for a -4, instead of leaving Son as captain. 18 point swing 🙂

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Vodka time!

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lay off the vodka

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You spent too much time here probably

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah. I've done quite alright (in relative terms of course) since I stopped over analysing and reading comments and asking questions... Had to 2FTs this round, hung out here last night and BOOM took a 4 point hit 🙁

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yep i knew it 😉

          Gl

    4. clempro
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Also lost KDB to double up on Mane/Salah... keep faith, might pay up over the next few weeks!!

  12. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Who was on free kicks and corners for Spurs?

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Looked like a bit of a free for all on corners. Saw Son taking one and Aurier taking one.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Erik must be fuming

        1. THFC4LIFE
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Only ever hits the 1st man anyway

      2. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Mmmm...yeah...They have Harry for direct free kicks but for the rest of the time I can’t see a set piece taker of much note.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/1059840/#player-tabs-6

      Set piece tab - interesting leader for Spurs corners.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Mmmm....

    3. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Honestly don't recall them getting a FK

    4. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ndombele took corners. Cant remember having any free kicks.

      Would have been kane for shooting attempts.

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      NDombele took 3. Son took 1.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Corners*

        1. Dr Dream
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah...saw above...Not really convinced either are long term set piece takers. Maybe Jose isn’t sure either yet.

  13. Deadly97
    • 10 Years

    When will price changes occur , after the game week finishes ?

    1. Team Cruel

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          The current time.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Every day in 7 and a bit hours.

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      They happen every 24 hours, at 2:10 am UK time.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Around 1:20ish am now after clocks changed.

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yep. Spot on.

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It is actually around 1:10/1:15 GMT not that the clocks have changed.

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yep. Spot on.

  14. Monkey Hanger
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ralphy Rabbithutch could be another manager looking for a job, if Saints lose this.

  15. OverTinker
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    1. Dendonker + Abraham to Mosset + Zaha for a hit (benching headaches)
    2. Pope to Henderson for free

    1. OverTinker
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      3. Abraham to Mosset

  16. Fernando Torres
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Jimenez or Pulisic?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Puli might get a rest now

      1. Fernando Torres
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Why? Do they not want to win

    2. AndyCook
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Pulisic could have scored today but would want to see Jiménez again

  17. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Now who to sell for Zaha?

    A. Salah
    B. Maddy
    C. Martial

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Neither.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Not an option given

        You do exams?

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Why Maddy?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Because zaha is cheap and on fire

        Vardy enough lei attack perhaps?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Not for their run.

  18. Don Kloppeone
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What a shocker!

    Panicked before deadline and stupidly switched Tammy > Ings for free.

    Salah captain. No Spurs or MCI.
    22pts with Ings (lol), Vardy, Jimi, Maddison, Soy and Lunds to play.

    Willems 7 points firmly first on bench

    What a rollercoaster this game is.
    Red arrow to become dark crimson tomorrow when all the Vardy cappers have their time.

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ah, don't sweat it. I did Sterling, Tammy and McGinn to Son, Pulisic and Ings for -4.

      (Still have KdB and Vardy captain, so could break even... but doubt it)

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy cap will be great

  19. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any reason not to do Mount -> Son/Alli for free?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You know the obvious ones.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Non if no other issues.

      I have Tammy so might downgrade him then Mount > Alli next weekend. Avoiding United away.

  20. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Pope, Button
    TAA, Robbo, Lunds, Aurier, Rico
    KDB, Mane, Tielemans, Mount, Cantwell
    Vardy, Jimenez, Tammy

    1) Pope > Hendo
    2) Tammy > Ings
    3) Robbo, Mount > Kelly, Son/Alli (-4)
    4) Tammy, Mount > Ings, Alli (-4)

  21. Ginkapo FPL
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I have owned Djenepo for a few weeks. First time watching him.

    Utter mistake, he is awful.

  22. Pedersen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Cant decide:
    1.9m ITB - 1FT

    Pope - Button
    TAA - Robertson - Soy - Lund - Rico
    Mane - KDB - Maddison - Pulisic - Mount
    Vardy - Abraham - Greenwood

    A) Greenwood -> Mousset
    B) Mount + Rico -> Alli + Reid (-4)
    C) ??

  23. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Bit boring but

    A) button to Martin (play over pope)
    B) rico to kelly (for good upcoming fixtures)

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      B easy

      1. Rhodes your boat
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks nabil

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Np

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A. Rico is 3rd bench and if you got him at 4.0 is a good keep especially since he takes corners and you store the value.

  24. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    S'ton fans booing.

    1. thomashl
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      no wonder

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      At least it wont be 9.

    3. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Is that not what they do

  25. thomashl
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wow. Southampton are so poor it's hard to believe. Immediately regret bringing in Ings – he's not getting any service is he. Just had to stop watching this game

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Might get Abraham back next GW if ready.

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Hell yes

    2. Monkey Hanger
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Never does, but still manages to keep scoring.

      1. thomashl
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It's quite impressive.

        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

    1. HNI
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago
