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.

    Dear Che save my GW! I’m on my knees!!!

    I love how everyone bashing Werner cappers and saying how he was a casual pick blah blah never seem to link their team...hmmm

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He wasn't a casual pick but he was being massively overrated on here

      • Alexis Nonsense
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Never thought he was a casual pick, rather the opposite

        Casuals usually go for a safer pick which has done well already I think

      • DazF90
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I kept him on a WC and captained. Oh well, not my first bad captain pick and I’m sure it won’t be my last!

      How long is Marcal's injury?

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      How is Bruno now as a pick? Still not advisable.

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        With the amount of pens being given so far this season he’s still a good pick. Man Utd haven’t looked great though.

        Poor fixtures and they're looking sluggish, but I'd be very happy to have him in my team.

      3. Alexis Nonsense
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        If he relies on pens, it's 10ish goals for a 10.5m mid...that's not good at all

        So I would say he's a keeper, but wouldn't get him in until they start playing better

      Werner: 4 attempts, 3 in the box, 1 big chance.

      Not *that* bad statistically.

      A lot depends on Ziyech and Pulisic coming back.

      1. Paulie Walnuts
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hopefully 9m by then!

        Needs to put the ball in the net, sigh.

        His positions were not promising ... if only he's playing no 9

      4. BigBillyBass
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You should triple captain him next week

      5. MrZ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        A Lot depending on how frank utilize him.
        Playing wing formation & 1 striker with only 1 recognizable winger (benched) & lots of strikers is just...

      6. yakirh

        Ziyech is the one to have, just need to wait a couple of gameweeks.

            • Pukki Party

              3 years, 6 months ago

              Jimenez or KDB for me

              I think Sterling would be best option

            Why do I get the feeling Everton can do a 'Leicester?'

              • 13 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Need a good defender to play alongside Keane and a goalkeeper to challenge Pickford at the very least.

          11. R.C
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            CHO, Mount and Tammy proving that they're still better than the newboys!

            Should boycott this club tbh as they will be sitting out most of the time

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Abraham is not better than Werner, been proven on many occasions last season. He’s just not good.

            2. Piggs Boson
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I thought Tammy was pretty poor.

              CHO and Mount I agree though, good players.

            Seeing lots of love for Ings as a replacement for Werner... Why not Jimenez with those fixtures ahead?

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Ings plays two of the worst defences in a row next.

              1. Paulie Walnuts
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                That theory worked out well for Werner against West Brom

                1. Cok3y5murf
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Ings is twice the FPL asset Werner is

            2. Hairy Potter
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Already got him?

              • 11 Years

              I plan on both.

            4. antis0cial
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Many already have Jime.

            Lampard throwing Alonso under the bus for 1st & 3rd goal.

            Finito!

            • 10 Years

            Is Vardy a better replacement for Werner than Jiminez?

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Next 3 toe to toe I think, I have gone Castagne for LEI so Werner>Jimmy

            2. FPL Theorist

            Puli down to 8.3 I see - he's going to be choice at that price. The outrage when he was originally 8.0

            1. R.C
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Jokes on FPL!! he will be 8 when he starts

            Just removed McCarthy and KWP from my team on WC. Will they now get the CS?

              Yes

            Best defender to get in GW4? Budget no issue! No Liverpool though, have TAA & Robbo already! Semedo?

                Naah! Everton not likely to keep many CS! Also James has taken over most of his set piece duties!

              Semedo

                • 6 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                That's what I'm thinking!

                  • 3 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  I would love to go Marcal+Semedo if the former wasn't injured

            3. pingissimus
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Digne is possible but Saiss or Lamptey is perhaps where the value is.

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

                Lamptey looks so good when he plays! He's going to be amazing value! No doubt!

            4. Tcheco
              • 6 Years

              Castagne for points at both ends of the pitch

                • 6 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Good punt! Ndidi out is a big turn off though.

            Paul Pogba failed to create a chance, produce a shot, make a tackle or interception during his time on the pitch against Brighton and had the lowest pass accuracy of any Man Utd player (71%).

                a trap well avoided

            Werner out

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years

              Wenger?

              • 13 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I think he'll do fine once Puli/Ziyech are in and he can play CF rather than on the wing

              1. Keep Calm and Play On
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Agreed but for now he’s gone and by that time Pulisic May be the pick anyway

            Werner & Mitro to Jimenez & DCL for a hit stupid move?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years

              No. Good move

                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  No. You’re selling your own teams players before home to Palace and Southampton. Bruno isn’t a bad pick.

                  1. FPL Daniel

                • 14 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Want to sell Chelsea duo and Bruno. A lot of cash to be spread around..

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

                  Just sell Werner! Werner to Jimmy/DCL

                  1. FPL Daniel
                    • 14 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Werner looks like has to go unfortunately

                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Why do you want to sell Bruno and Havertz, Havertz looked ok and Bruno will get pens

                  1. FPL Daniel
                    • 14 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    Because United looked poor the fixtures are getting worse I want Sterling and Foden and Barnes and DCL and Richarlison

                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Keep Havertz and why Bruno?

                  1. FPL Daniel
                    • 14 Years

                    I want Sterling instead

                  Depends on who you bring in. You can take a -8 as well.

                  1. FPL Daniel
                    • 14 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    -8 is kind of too much when I have the WC in hand. -4 is max I would do if I have the WC intact

            3. Paulie Walnuts
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              No, just a couple of transfers

                Tina, what's your WC team?

                Stick with the cheap defence?

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              No, just Werner out

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Werner is gone surely for Jimmy, but I also want Richarlison and DCL and Barnes and City attack

                1. Magic Zico
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 5 Years

                  Well, the team look fine but if you want overhaul ...

                    • 14 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    I want overhaul. But so many lads are saying to save it. Hmmm...

                      • 8 Years
                      3 years, 6 months ago

                      You could literally do Havertz > Foden and Mitro > Jimi for a -4 and then it looks fine. I don't see why you wanna WC but eh.

              Do you have 4+ players you feel you need to get rid of? Depending on the rest of the GW, you might just want to ship Werner and/or Havertz.

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Werner Bruno Havertz McCarthy for sure. Mitro too

              Midfield and defence looks fine to me. Werner to Jim perhaps.

              Not sure Everton were all that today really. Tough fixture but they created little enough. I'd wait to the other side of the Liverpool match before going overboard.

              1. FPL Daniel
                • 14 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Sound reasoning. I might follow.

              I think Ziyech will offer the most value down the line

                Doesn't make sense when you want Ings straight back in for WBA next week

            Pick one to do after the inevitable Che Adams blank:

            Werner + Adams -> Jiminez + DCL (-4)
            Martial -> Jiminez/DCL (FT)
            Werner -> Jiminez/DCL (FT)
