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.

    And Danny Ings has ended my season. Jimi(c) fail, Saiss 6 on bench on top of it. Goodbye inside 2k, and my hard work all season. 🙁

      You serious? One guy gets double digits that you don’t have and your captain fails and that’s it your seasons over?

  3. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years

    Ings should be going to Euros without a doubt

    1. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1 year left for euros

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He deserves it over Tammy, and that's coming from a Chelsea fan.

      Picture could be different in a years time however.

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Most definitely. Wilson dried up since the last squad was selected. Hopefully can keep him fit

  4. The Frenchie
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is anyone know what’s happening with the private league ranking? I mean is there any update ranking soon? Is all this automatically draw will disappear?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      private classic leagues running as normal

      Head to head I think have finished

  5. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Just know that if I somehow shoehorn Ings back in he’ll get injured or benched ffs

    Surely can’t drop Jim/Rashford for him? And would need to downgrade Son (probably) to do DCL to Ings

    1. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mahrez and Ings in for DCL and Son off the top of my head

      DCL always a meh pick. He was good for the Norwich punt but meh

    2. Reg83
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth getting now with 3 very tough fixtures coming

    3. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Points chasing if you get him in now. Saints are safe. Might bring him in for their last 3 games which are easier

  6. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    DCL Sarr > Foden Ings feels enticing now regardless SOT fixtures?

  7. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which City mid would you go for if chasing

    A Mahrez
    B Foden

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years

      A.

    3. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A. Zero doubt.

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

        But foden is 3m cheaper...depends what you can do with that.

        Foden SHOULD get a lot of minutes.

        That 3m could be the key to me getting kane...

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Good point. Kane with Foden as 5th mid?

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

            Yes...but in a 3 5 2

            Foden or nketiah would need to start each game

    4. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years

  8. diesel001

    Shows how poor the standard outside the big teams in the PL is with Ings scoring 18 goals.

    He'll be in the England Euros squad and will flop. He is a finisher, but at the highest level you need more than just finishing ability. You got to have something special (pace / acceleration, a powerful leap, high levels of technique, insane movement etc).

    Doesn't help though when so many GKs are trying to be like Ederson with their distribution. Foster been done like this before - remember the goal Arsenal (Auba) scored when Foster was dallying on the ball. Foster isn't good enough now - age has caught up with him.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’s quick and has the movement and finishing ability a bit like Vardy.

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

        Vardy has serious acceleration. Ings ain't anywhere near Vardy in that department. Ings is the same or a better finisher.

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He works hard.
      He isn't only a finisher IMO.

      I'd say most inform out N out #9 in PL atm.

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

        Hard work isn't enough to get you goals in the top teams / top nations. He is a hard worker and an excellent finisher.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah. Maybe. We haven't seen him play in a better team for long time though so I'd give him the benifit of the doubt 🙂

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Define "big teams"

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

        Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs, Man Utd, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich etc.

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Your comment said "in the PL"

    4. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      hell be a super sub

      coming on last 10-15 vs tired legs harassing the cbs hell get some goals

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. That's what Vardy was supposed to do though ...

  9. michaelington
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    That’s it, DCL to Ings. Can’t keep ignoring this guy.

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Watch DCL haul then. Ings next 3 are really tough

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

        Form > fixtures.
        Ings going for golden boot. Everton nothing to play for.
        Plus the two chasing me in my ML have Ings.

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Your strategy is to cover your ML rivals?
          What if they switch from Ings to DCL/Jesus or other, due to SOU tough fixtures?

  10. Dreaming of glory

    2. beric

      1. Dreaming of glory
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        U wouldnt sell him if u had him but wouldnt take him in just now either

  11. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years

    I first bought Ings in for the dreadful game where they got hammered 9-0 by Leicester & I made my first "newbie" post thinking it was a smart move . Since then he's only once left my team for the re-start where I could only afford Pukki .He must be the bargain of the season & 9 million next season

    1. Reg83
