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.

      Only due to fpl would I settle down to watch Burnley Southampton on a Saturday night and hoping for a 0-0

    Werner, stick or move to Ings?

    Already have Jimmy & DCL.

      Move. I've just done it and can then set and forget and focus on my mid/def.

      * I still have Havertz for Chelsea 'coverage' though.

    McCarthy owners, would you rather have no shots against him for the rest of the match and keep a clean sheet for 6 points OR have another shot at him for a 70-30% chance of 8 points/3 points?

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

      6 rather

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

      6

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      the former for sure

      After 2 pts and zero points 6 would be gold

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

      I'll take the 6 points.
