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.

    Points check? 47 with Jimenez KDB Rashford to go giving me a small green arrow, which I’ll take after those fails from Vardy(c) and Pulisic, plus Mane over Mo!

      70 with KDB and Rash to go

      15 of the previous 16 GW's before this, I've had a 7 digit GW rank. Safe to say I'll take it with both hands

      42 after hit with Son Rash and KdB - feel robbed that Maddison was outscored by Pulisic!

    What to do with Pope?

    A) keep
    B) sell

    1. FPLGeezer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A) for 2/3 weeks deal with other issues first

      1. Pino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        have no other issues and even the next 2 games are not easy

      No point trying to swap budget keepers to catch CS
      He'll be in top 5 scoring keepers come season end so you get your 4.5 worth

    With norwich injuries clearing up is it crazy to consider pukki again?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      Get him in

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Au contraire, it's the smart move to fund Rashford

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Why would it be crazy to consider someone who keeps scoring?

    2. mrtapio
      • 8 Years

  14. Mo Salah No Mane

    4 years, 3 months ago

    So confused
    Looking at all of the awful gw 18 fixtures.
    Wouldn't it be better to wildcard in gw 18 with a few punts (maybe 3)... Or is gameweek 20 better?
    Just looks like gameweek 18 could be a nice week to get 1 over the rest with all of the big teams playing each other and no Liverpool. Otherwise if I wait till 20 I'll at least do a minus 8.

    Help please
    Thoughts?
