Gameweek 32+ continues to move at a glacial pace, with just one Premier League fixture taking place on Sunday.

Southampton are the visitors to Watford, with kick-off at Vicarage Road at 16:30 BST.

Danny Ings (£7.2m) makes Ralph Hasenhuttl’s starting XI for the third straight match, quelling fears that he may have been rested amid the fixture congestion.

The Southampton manager has made changes to his starting XI elsewhere, however, with Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m), Yan Valery (£4.6m) and Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) all dropping to the bench.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.8m) misses out with an ankle injury.

Oriel Romeu (£4.3m), Will Smallbone (£4.5m), Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.4m) and Shane Long (£4.7m) are the players replacing them.

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m) fills in for the suspended Jack Stephens (£4.4m) at centre-half, meanwhile, but Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) keeps his place after his high-profile error in the defeat to Arsenal.

Nigel Pearson has made three changes to his starting XI from the side that lost 1-0 at Burnley.

Craig Cathcart (£4.3m) replaces Christian Kabasele (£4.3m) at centre-half, while Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m), both of whom were rested in midweek, return to the side.

Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) and Tom Cleverley (£4.8m), as well as Kabasele, are all among the substitutes after their run-outs against the Clarets.

Three of Watford’s fringe players, Andre Gray (£5.5m), Nathaniel Chalobah (£4.4m) and Domingos Quina (£4.3m), have all been omitted from the matchday squad amid rumours of a “lockdown party” hosted by Gray.

Ings has been transferred in by approximately 260,000 FPL managers since his double-digit haul in Gameweek 30+.

The striker is by some distance the most-owned player on show in today’s fixture and has been handed the armband by just over 75,000 Fantasy bosses.

Over one in five of the top 10,000 FPL managers own Ings, too.

The forward and Ismaila Sarr (£6.3m) were both on target in the reverse fixture back in November, with Hasenhuttl’s troops running out 2-1 winners.


Watford XI: Foster, Femenía, Cathcart, Dawson, Masina, Hughes, Capoue, Sarr, Doucoure, Pereyra, Deeney.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Smallbone, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Long, Ings.

    Thanks

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      yeah probably

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think he might be. Got him on my WC this week.

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. As long as you can accept he will be benched sometimes.

      Was just gonna say, looks good for next few, got 2 ft so could shift it around a bit.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I have 2 ft and lots of cash....

        Looking at maybe bringing in foden, kane and pulisic (although he may have just come off injured)

  2. Right In The Stanchion

    Looks like we’ll have next season of no fans. Does anyone know if there’s a date set for the start?

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      *with no fans

    2. Ron_Swanson

      11/9

  3. Fred54

    Long looked liked he was running for a bus.

  4. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    teams don't hoof it enough for my liking, Leicester look happy to end the game here

  5. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Foden & Nketiah are my “makeweights”

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

      Reply fail to Flynny

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking the same.

  6. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Blockhampton.

  7. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Will Hughes is a liability.

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Lee Hughes is a murderer.

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

    Leicester have been clueless since December

  9. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Chilwell laughing with Barkley just after the final whistle. That is such a pet peeve of mine. Your team have just went out of the cup and look to be struggling. Doesn't show a good attitude. You see a lot of players doing that these days.

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He is joining Chelsea though

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea would be stupid to buy him for 50/60m

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The Leicester players feel they have already over performed so there's no point giving it a 100% now.

    4. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Goal came from Chilwell's side after he put his hands up - donut guy

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Absolutely. Good enough reason to be benched, it just shows no respect for the club and the fans, and worst of all, a lack of winning mentality.

  10. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Smallbone pulled off by the gaffer 🙂

  11. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Smallbone withdrawn

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Is that what you call yours? 😉

    Wish could get Giroud in for West Ham game now.....

    1. The Senate
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      one of my ML rivals has Giroud, another has Tammy. At least one of them will always be in pain!

  13. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That 9-0 seems ages ago.

  14. Mini Mahouse
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    First Watford game I watch - Should maybe have watched 1 or 2 before I got Sarr in, this is dreadful - Can't believe I own a player from them

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yhe Liverpool game shows what he's capable of

    2. The Senate
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      quite lucky for them there's (at least) three worse teams in the league right now - it'd be a travesty if Bournemouth or Villa escape relegation at Watford's expense

  15. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Danny Ings will get a big move this summer. To who though? Everton? Spurs? Hmmmm????

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Hope he stays at Southampton, would be a real shame if he went to Spurs to be 2nd fiddle behind Kane

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not many clubs will have cash to spend.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs is a good move. Kane is often injured. And Ings might have had an injury free season but he may not be so fortunate next season.

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Liverpool could do worse than bring him back. If he does move it'll probably to a team with top 6 ambitions - the likes of Everton or Arsenal I imagine.

  16. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Simpson & Sarr to Aurier & Foden (2FT’s) hmmmm

  17. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Q: What is Smallbone's special move called?

  18. fusen
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Sarr is walking about, making token efforts to track back without actually getting to the ball.

    He'll surely be subbed soon.

  19. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Not really a fan of Nigel Pearson's Sierra Cosworth Owners Club look...

  20. BNMC
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    The man with the small bones subbed off, the man with the strong arms subbed on. Perfect.

  21. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings G

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Foster A. Clown.

  22. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ohhhhh noooooooooooo

  23. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Holy crap, Ings

  24. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ingsyyyyyyyyyy

    Love it 🙂

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ffs Danny Bloody Ings

  26. Ron_Swanson
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings again!

  27. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings goal, Foster helped. Might get dropped.

  28. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Going Foster over Pope wasn't my best move this season

    1. beric
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Same. Might switch back this week

  29. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Foster you plum.

    Ruining my rank.

  30. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings could finish top scorer.
