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.

    Just had a feeling he’d do that. So good

  15. JONALDINHO

    Just realised I haven’t taken a hit since GW8. It’s worked well this year. Recommend people do the same instead of constantly switching their players

    1. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I rarely do hits but sometimes they pay off..

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Can cut both ways. I’ve been way more bold this year. About 40 points in hits and sitting just in top 10k for first time

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

      Hits at the start of the season

      Chill the beans with hits at the end of season

      That’s my jam

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

      Congrats that it’s worked for you, but that does not mean hits are bad in absolute terms.
      Just last week I took a -12 to shift DGW players for double United and double Spurs. Net points swing of +16 after the deductions.

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

        Kenny Rodgers school of thought

    How did watford beat liverpool

    Dreadful team

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

      Passion
      Counter attack
      Pool were slightly arrogant in their approach

      Probably they will survive due to those 3 points 😀

      1. Legendary!
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Gonna be tight - On paper, WHam have more potentially winnable fixtures and then they face each other as well - the famous relegation 6pointer.

  18. Amey

    Dead ball specialist they said ..

    Son DCL to Mahrez Ings could be a brilliant move soon

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

      or a disaster

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This

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

        Why? Neither DCL nor Son looking great. Opposite for the other 2

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

      Those ings fixtures tho...

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

        That Ings form though

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

          Against piss poor Watford though

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

      I feel like if you have Ings keep, if not the fixtures not the best time to get him in. However lots of folk have 2ft and he’s in golden boot territory

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

      Will have Son, Mahrez,Ings on WC.

      Richarlison for Everton cover

      Perks of WCing late

      1. Lucy2019
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Apologies, what are the perks of WCing late?

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

          That I could fit them all in

          1. Lucy2019
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            What has that got to do with a late WC LOL

        2. Rover
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Having an extra two GWs (plus FA Cups) worth of form and rotation as information

          I’m assuming that the conversation here is about WCing in 31+ vs 33+

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

    On WC

    A. Taylor + Kiko

    Or

    B. Holgate + Lowton

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

      B

      Cheers all

    Do we think Watford could be dragged into the relegation battle, or are the teams below them just much worse...

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

      Being 1 point ahead means they are in it.

  23. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy legend

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

    Watford are having a bad time

  25. Babit1967
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Ings is one of those players I stay away from, anytime he’s in my team he doesn’t get any points, when not in my team he scores big

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      EXACTLY this, owned him 2 or 3 times this season and he always blanks or no shows for me

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think (like DCL) you need to keep him for the long run. Can’t predict where the returns will come but over the season they’re both incredible value

      1. Babit1967
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Deffo, for his price he’s amazing don’t get me wrong, but just doesn’t do it when I have him, but like gabbiadini back in the day lol

  26. Wirtzle Gummidge
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A. Ings and Origi

    B. Nketiah and Jiminez

  27. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pleased to see Lundstram only has a yellow flag 🙂

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

      That injury looked a lot more serious than just a yellow IMO

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah weird how only a yellow flag been added!

        1. Goonsquad245
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          It’s because the damage isn’t confirmed - they always do it until they’re ruled out.

  28. teneighty
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So the answer was Ings all along. Ledge!

  29. The Suspended One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Don’t care how many goals he scores vs Watford and Norwich; not regretting ditching ings with 3 games in a week followed by three terrible fixtures. Shite happens

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

      Had him before the lockdown and sold in the wc in the first week of the return

      No Ragrets

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Had him all year really; never plays midweek games; fair play to Ralph for prioritizing the easy ones, surprised he played v arsenal though

  30. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Only silver lining is ings has tough fixtures at least.
