Southampton make one change for trip to injury-stricken Burnley

Ralph Hasenhüttl has made just one change to his Southampton side as they travel to Burnley in Gameweek 3.

The Saints were opened up time and time again in a 5-2 home defeat to Spurs last Sunday but, despite that poor result, Jack Stephens (£5.0m) is the only player to lose his place.

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m) comes into the back-four as Stephens drops to the bench, while key Fantasy assets Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.5m) retain their starting berths in defence.

It is also an unchanged attacking setup for Southampton as Moussa Djenepo (£5.5m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) provide the width for Danny Ings (£8.4m) and Che Adams (£5.9m).

Meanwhile, Burnley are painfully short of key players once again, especially in defence. Sean Dyche is forced into pairing Jimmy Dunne (£4.0m) with Kevin Long (£4.5m) at centre-back.

Dale Stephens (£4.5m) makes his debut in central midfield, while a shortage of wider options pushes Josh Brownhill (£5.0m) onto the right.

Chris Wood (£6.5m) leads the line, as per usual, but injuries to his team-mates means a first Premier League start of the season for Matej Vydra (£5.0m).

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Dunne, K Long, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, D Stephens, Brownhill; Vydra, Wood.

Southampton XI (4-4-2): A McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Walker-Peters; Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Armstrong; Adams, Ings.

    Any thoughts on Chelsea´s 3rd kit today? Apparently it's called 'Ember Glow' ...and I thought the grey/orange combo we had last season was bad enough.

    I think my car is black, but Nissan tell me it's 'midnight sapphire'.

    I wish I worked in marketing.

      I just think lockdown has caused a lot of people to lose the plot

    2. El Presidente

      GTR?

    3. Differentiator
      • 8 Years

      looked dreadful

    4. BenDavies

      I'm a Chelsea fan and I think it's an absolute eyesore. Why are we wearing the Palace kit? Keep it simple colours for away and third kits.

      I've seen many worse. City's white one is hideous. Wasn't all that bad imo. Each to their own.

      i like it

    7. Piggs Boson

      I would have called it "Decaying Salmon"

      1. JohnnyRev7
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ha! You obviously work in marketing. 😀
        (Not quite sure your clients would appreciate 'decaying' though. But worth a try.)

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Quite the opposite!

          Engineer & programmer.

      Looked like illegitimate love child of a Crystal Palace and Barcelona shirt.

    Saints CS as expected

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not over

    2. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years

      Don’t be bitter and try to jinx it for us McCarthy owners please

    3. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Was hoping for a 0-0!

  3. Stupendous

    Holding to Lamptey for free is a no brainer right?

    No other issues unless something happens tomorrow.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Team must be in great shape if that’s your move! Might be worth saving as arsenal with decent chance of a cleanie

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Can't wait for next week mate. Double pool def, Justin, Son, James, KDB Podence, Werner DCL Ings nucleus

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Arsenal play Sheff Utd next, don't they? Why selling for that game?

  4. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Just a general question .
    Why do people post " x goal incoming " stuff based on f all ?
    A bit mystified.

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      To speak it into existence

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      They are most likely bored watching the game and just post some shyt to pass the time.. I know I'm a victim of it

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I would never regard you as a victim.

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I love you too slouchy 🙂

  5. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Tick tock Adams owners...

    1. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      West Bromwich next

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Good chance for Obafemi to get a start

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is this an example of your post above?

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Absolutely 😀

  6. Champions League Varane

    Can’t believe I wildcarded..

    Double Sou defense
    Bruno..

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Same, with Digne and Ings.

      This season is throwing me for a loop.

      1. Doctor Evil
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yawn

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What's your WC team Tony?

    3. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Considering price changes don't happen till 2.30 am that would have to be a strange call.

    4. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      😀

      You're not alone. Ings too here. But got DCL Jim in exchange so not all lost and who knows KdB might be an ok call and wouldn't have played double defence in any case.

    5. Doctor Evil
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yawn

  7. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone as bad as Vydra at timing his jumps to head a ball.

    He is shocking.

  8. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bardsley goal incoming

  9. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What's the scoop with Werner? My patience is almost gone.

    Jimenez looks like an easy move.

    1. mr messi
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’m very tempted to lose him for Jimmy but I know if I do he will start scoring. Confused!

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on Ziyech and Pulisic for me.

  10. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    "No brainer" often stands for the sort of rubbish transfer you'd do if you had no brain

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I thought it meant that it's so obvious, no thinking is required.

    2. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No it doesn’t

    3. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If I had no brain I would be dead

    This is classic FPL. What a horendous start to the WC. Cheers Mccarthy you bell

    1. Muchentuchel

      what are you talkin about?

  12. Fred54

    Incoming Slouch87....

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      I might just go to bed instead.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Have a beer....crack one off ....and you'll be right as rain.

      Slouch loves a pissed up saturday night rant at the trolls

  13. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thanks god Ben Davies doesn't drops tonight. Love to be able to see how Wolves are lining up for tomorrow and how Saiss performs

  14. 2OLEgend
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone know how many gameweeks Dunne will start?

    I'm 0.5m short of doing Mitro - > Jimenez. Looking at Ayling - > Dunne to fund it.
    Rest of defence is TAA, Saiss, Taylor, Mitchell.

    Have to pull it of before price-rises

  15. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I would like to get rid of Martial for the next GW and in the long run either go with Bruno or the budget version Greenwood. Who is the perfect replacement for Martial?I even consider cheap options, I feel I won't need premium players this year. Who should I get?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years

      Ighalo

  16. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Current 8 with 1FT and 0.5itb:
    Salah, KDB, Son, Podence, Soucek
    Werner, Ings, Davis

    1) Just Werner out
    2) Take a hit to upgrade Davis or Soucek (set to drop in price)

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Werner to Jiminez

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Pretty much what I'm thinking. Maybe DCL -- ML rivals WC'd into him this week.

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’m looking at Jimenez and foden in for Werner and foden

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Oops foden in for Soucek I obviously meant!

      2. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not bad. Not bad at all.

  17. BIG TONES
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Richarlison or DCL?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      either, genuinely. DCL should be in the right spot for big chances, while Richarlison will have shots from further out plus penalties.

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Neither especially essential judging on today. Southampton offered as much and possibly more in attack at Palace than Everton.

  18. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    McCarthy is awful. Surprised Forster doesn’t get another chance

    1. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He will in time

  19. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Absolutely no chance of Burnley scoring here.

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rip

    2. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      no chance that McCarthy will have CS here

  20. No_Mo_Salah?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Werner - Stick or twist (to Jiminez on ft?).

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Jimenez time

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Jimenez definitely.

    3. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Stick with him. He'll hit form soon enough.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Chelsea look all over the place. Werner is all over the place also.
        I think i'd rather have a proven Jimenez, for less money, playing in a much better team.

        1. AIRMILES
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          It won't be long till they come together. I've got Jimi, Mitro and Ings, but Werner will very likely feature very soon.

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years

    Iiiiiiiiiiiings, can only get better, can only get better....

  22. adstomko

    McCarthy / KWP owners, count yourselves very lucky.
    VAR is blocked at Turf Moor...

    1. Baps hunter

      Sold on WC...

  23. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Lol why does Ings get such ridiculous baps..

  24. Muchentuchel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    this game is fixed af

  25. owenread
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    what do I do with martial?

    I have Jimenez and DCL alongside him and 0.5itb

    1. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Exactly the same situ. Leaning towards Ings, but also considering Maupay, Wood or Mitro so I can get Son in midfield. Tough one.

      Martinez Steer
      TAA Saiss Taylor KWP Lamp
      Salah KDB Grealish Podence Biss
      DCL Martial Jimi

      1. Muchentuchel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Rodrigo could be THE cheap solution but then there's Bamford blocking his position.

  26. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    come om Mccarthy one more save and get that 2 baps

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      This

  27. YuvalFPL
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Not one to make hits but can only make the move tonight due to transfer moves...

    Martial, Bissouma & Watkins out for Jimenez, Foden & Brewster.

    Any thoughts?

    1. YuvalFPL
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      due to price moves* not transfer moves.

    2. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It'd be nice to see if Foden even starts tomorrow. He might start 50% of games at best. It's a high risk gamble considering there are lots of interesting options around.

  28. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Adams owners! Keeping?

    1. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. West Bromwich next and doing Werner -> Jimenez

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years

        Cheers mate

  29. MSTRKRFTSMN
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    McCarthy slips out of the baps. Upgraded if it finishes 1-0?

  30. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bertrand and Vestergaard are the real winners
