The key Fantasy Premier League assets are in place for the Gameweek 26 clash between Southampton and Burnley.

Danny Ings (£7.0m) is the most popular player for the lunch-time kick-off, starting the match with ownership of 29.9%.

Behind him in second place is Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope (£4.7m), who has recently made a swift return to the Fantasy good-books.

Ings has three goals in his last three outings while Pope has averaged 9.3 points per game since Gameweek 23 – so it will be interesting to see which of them comes out on top this afternoon.

There was encouragement for Ings owners with the creative option James Ward-Prowse (£5.8m) back in the side following an injury, while Kyle Walker-Peters‘ (£4.4m) debut at right-back means a return to midfield for the former.

However, Southampton will be without Nathan Redmond (£6.2m) who misses the game through injury.

“Prowsey’s cut was ok, so he could train yesterday and finally he made it. The not so good thing is the injury for Redmond. A muscle injury. It’s hard to saw how long it will take, but for today he is out.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

Meanwhile, Burnley have received boosts of their own in defence as Charlie Taylor (£4.2m) is cleared to play left-back respectively, while Matt Lowton (£4.2m) misses out on the other side.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Vestergaard, J Stephens, Walker-Peters; Boufal, Hojbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; S Long, Ings.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; Rodriguez, Wood.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bednarek cameo to help defend Burnley late onslaught?

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

        Ah ah ah

    2. Party time

      Disgusting.

    Southampton triple up, this can only end badly

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Same here

    2. Deeney-is-a-god

      Got to believe, got two myself

    3. the dom 1

      How did I end up with triple Southampton ??? lol

  4. Piggs Boson

    6 years, 5 months ago

    DCL owners, what are you doing?

    Great form, 54% involvement in Everton goals since Ancelotti, only ~6m, but has 4 tough fixtures. Do we keep?

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

      Keep

    2. clodhopper
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep fixtures not that tough

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping.

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Arsenal, Chelsea and United aren't awful fixtures, and he has a good chance of playing in GWs 28 and 31. Keep for now IMO.

    5. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Arsenal and United are not tough. And for a striker form comes first.

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

        Is there data to support strikers are more fixture-proof?

        It makes sense, because they can hit on the counter against top teams, but just wondered if it was supported.

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Just depends I imagine.

          Vardy dip has complex roots probably (really good post earlier by MBP) but contrary fixtures surely a factor.

          Kun 15 goals against bottom feeders, one against top 6 this season

          Wood at the other end of the scale has 5.7 ppm against bottom 10 and 3.5 against top 10

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

            Interesting, thanks.

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

            I forgot the comparison tool can now filter by teams played...

    6. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm keeping for one more then DCL > Vardy in GW28.

      Still have faith in the wkd blue maestro

    7. Hasselbaink Forever
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Was considering DCL > Jimi, keeping him at least another week

  5. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Come on KWP and Ings, make me proud

    1. DMP
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Planning to buy KWP, accessing him today.

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Hopefully he looks good in attack, for 4.4 he doesnt have to do too much to be good quality

        1. DMP
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Either him or Bertrand for the Lord or Cathcart.

  6. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 9 Years

    Pope masterclass incoming...again

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Early ings goal to settle the nerves. My nerves that is.

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

      Ings will surely score! Fingers crossed 🙂

  8. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Best Burnley def?

    A. Mee 5.0
    B. Tarkowski 5.1

      • 6 Years

      Hum....

  11. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Redmond absent means Soyuncu comes on! Get in! 🙂

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years

      So much jam

  12. HashAttack
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Ings ... I bought him in to stop the flow of points my rival was getting (since gw10) - results so far have been 2,1,2
    Rival has now sold him for Matinelli, so time for Ings to start shining against

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

      Let's hope Ings is not a Vardy 2.0

  13. seewhyaxe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ings goal from a McCarthy assist anyone?

    1. HashAttack
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Stephens assist

  14. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ings looking lively? Asking for someone who only has 7pts 😛

    1. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Thanks for asking on my behalf 😉

  15. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Let's hope Vardy to Ings was a great transfer.

  16. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    How's the weather in Norwich?

  17. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Can't wait for

    GOAL - Pope
    ASSIST - Storm Denis

    Bound to happen with my luck.

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

      That windy, uh?

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Forecast says it starts at about 1 and gets worse from there.

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any chance the Liverpool games gets postponed? Or to late now to cancel now?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      It’s never too late, the c@n call it off during the game

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        *they can

  19. HashAttack
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Seems well dodgy that people were rushing in to buy Mane last night before his price drop (not going down now)

    What would be the point when they have two matches before next week's fixtures and if those people had just waited until after the Norwich match they could have probably got him 100k cheaper, and with less risk of missing gw27

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      most people don't know/care how it works - they want him they get him

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        They may not know about prices but they should care about the 2 matches and week gap before gw27

        Let's just say it was predictable that there would be some inexplicable reason for his price not to drop

  20. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who is on pens for Saints?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years

  21. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    442 vs 442, the way it should be

  22. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    a fat sloppy dirty 0-0 with pope making 20 saves would be lovely here

  23. Marvin.
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Doesn't look like a great turn out for Southampton today.

  24. bialk
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have Pope and Ings from this game. Don't know what to expect.

  29. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Would you keep Rico, Kabasele or both if you weren't using your FH in GW31? It's tough because I obviously want to field as many players as poss... but the likelihood of them scoring more than 2pts seems low.

  30. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Ings OG?
