All eyes on Ings as Southampton host poor West Ham defence

The Fantasy Premier League community turns to Danny Ings (£6.4m) as Southampton host West Ham United in the final game of Saturday afternoon.

The centre-forward has scored in each of his last five matches and has amassed 12.4% ownership for Gameweek 17.

That is considerably more than any other player at St. Mary’s for the 17:30 game.

After him, the most popular asset in the match is West Ham defender Winston Reid (£3.9m) who sits in 4.5% of teams, with those managers simply looking to save money more than anything else.

The New Zealand international is absent from the matchday squad once again and is yet to register any Premier League minutes this season.

There may be some eyes on James Ward-Prowse (£5.9m) for this fixture after he registered three attacking returns in his last five outings.

His set-piece delivery could prove important today considering West Ham’s problems defending dead-ball situations this season, which earned him a place in the Gameweek 17 Scout Picks.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Cédric; Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Djenepo; Ings, S Long.

West Ham United XI: Martin; Cresswell, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Fredericks; Noble, Rice; Antonio, Fornals, Snodgrass; Haller.

    Tottenham triple up? Kane Alli and Son together for BHA(H) NOR(A) SOU(A) ?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I've done it on wildcard. The Chelsea game should be high scoring as well

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Two’s plenty

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Son and Alli for me Kane is the provider now

    4. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      My brother is certainly planning that. He has Alli and Kane snd ditched Aurier. AlliSon is enough for me.

    5. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On son and Ali but tempted to get Kane too

  5. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Alli or Grealish?

    Have Son

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Alli

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I have the same decision to make. Grealish I think.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Why?

  6. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lol just seen my FPL cup opponent capped Salah. Of course he did. Fml

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Unlucky

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He has no Spurs tho so here’s hoping Alli goes wild

    2. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mine with free hit and triple Sheffield def

      1. Don Kloppeone

        Oof!!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Wow, could have been so much worse with the penalty!

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Consider yourself luck Mine captained Salah, played fleck and had Lustrom and Baldock.

      1. CRO KLOPP
        • 6 Years

        1. CRO KLOPP
          • 6 Years

          That is so typical for fpl cup

          1. Silecro
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Mine used triple captain on Vardy. Im still hanging there though, 37-38

    4. Amey
      • 5 Years

      Ooof

  7. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ings, Cedric and Bertrand have been poor for Southampton so far.

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

      West Ham have been good

  8. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    40 pts, 0.5 more than the average and a small red.

    Others ?

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

      More

    2. sweglet
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      42 with 2 left, got to love robbo coming off the bench for 1 point

    3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A bit more, Son and de Bruyne left

    4. clempro
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      63 with Ings and Rashford to go. Big green from 17 to 4k !!

    5. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      31pts.

    6. LSK
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      52 so far. 4 to play. Should hopefully get a green as I am ranked over 1 million.

    7. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      57 with 3 to play so probably 63 all out.

    8. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      59 + 5 to play

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        One of the 5 is Martin

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

      46 with KDB son rashford & 45 minutes from Ings to go

    10. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      57, 5 left, JWP, Doherty, Auba, Rash, Zaha, finally a good week.

    11. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      67 woohoo with Cahill, Jesus and Rashford to go

    12. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      42 after hit with Ings Rash Son KdB to come - gutted about Maddison

  9. sweglet
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    mane, maddison and mousset -> rashford grealish and son for a -4?

    sitting at 50k, moves too risky?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd want Maddison right back for the West Ham game tbh

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      good moves

  10. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How does this sound?

    Pulisic and Tammy -> Alli and Ings (-4)

  11. LSK
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is Mount to Grealish a good move for next week? Mings (injured) to Rico as well?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah

  12. james 101

        I'm keeping him, lamps will settle on the correct team again, Alonso back in, kova jorg midfield

        1. Pipermaru
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Alonso! We believe!

        2. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Mount?

    2. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      2 FT : GW18
      WC : GW20

      Pope
      Baldock Kelly (1)
      Zaha KdB (2)(3)
      Rashford Vardy Ings

      ITB : 25.1

      (1) Maguire, Lundstram, Cahill
      (2)(3) Sterling, Son, Alli, Martial, Grealish

      Choose 3 players from the pool, for the next 2?

    3. Cruz88
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How did Tammy play today, did anyone watch?

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        They were poor as a team, couldn't crack the defense

      What a dire game of football

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Similar feeling.
        Hate to see Ings so isolated. Southampton needs to put them in early i guess

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Undecided how to deal with ings. Not sure whether to take an 'if he's fit just play him' or 'get shot the moment the blanks appear' approach

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I'm keeping faith till next GW.

          2. pingissimus
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Pondering move to Mousset to free up funds for Guaita but giving him 18 I think.

            More likely to move KdB on for Alli as the more immediate likely gain in 18

    6. ralfb
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mane to who for next gw ? Have Alli son Maddison - might swap gw after mane replacement to salah then

      1. LSK
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        If you're only keeping for one week then see how Sterling does against Arsenal (and see if he gets booked). He will get plenty of space with Ricardo bombing forward, could be a good differential for you.

      Henderson

        Surely Robbo has to go but for who?

    8. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years

      Southampton looked woeful in the first half. Can see a WHam win here.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thats how they play. Gear change after 60-70mins of the game.

    9. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Why has JWP not scored yet?

      1. Holmes

    14. Atimis
      • 7 Years

      Kelly or Targett ??
      Will be getting Guaita after GW19

        Kelly

    15. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mount -> Grealish for free is a no brainer right?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years

        See how Martial and rich do, tomz

    16. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looking at their coming fixtures, when do you play to captain Liverpool players? There isn't one game that jumps out at me.

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        plan*

      2. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        So high ownership fears me tbh. Can see myself going without Taa though.

      3. TheDragon
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe GW20 (Vardy & Spurs other options) but agree only really seems essential from GW25 onwards.

        I’m considering Mane -> Son this week for the Liverpool blank and then not get Mane back until 25

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I'll probably cap a Spurs player that week. It obviously feels crazy to get rid of Salah after today but I still might, don't have Mane. it'll lead to big rank jumps if that kinda move comes off.
