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.

      Stick it on KDB or Salah and forget about. So much less stress.

    Werner to ings? Seems sensible...

    1. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    3. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years

      Easy.. Ings

  19. sunzip14

    Ings to Martial GW2 still punishing

  20. Sgt Frank Drebin
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I just wonder if Lampard will stick to 4-2-2 after today's display, but I have serious doubts. Reece James would be such a steal for 5.0m playing so high and providing width.

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

      Nah.

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      4-2-2-2 of course.

  21. Gobigorgohome

    3 years, 7 months ago

    Adams already more points than Werner LOL

  22. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Really wanted to include Ings in my WC, but Werner was difficult to overlook. 10 points so far from 4 on WC. Awful.

    1. Neevesy
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Don't worry mate, I'm on WC and got 5 points from 4 lol

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

        This game can be trash at times, but lets see how it goes til the end of the gw.

  23. Forever In Our Shadow

    Danny boy

  24. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    13 points from 6 players so far...

    Werner > Jiminez (FT)?

    Tempted to also take a -4 to get Saiss for James:

    McCarthy (4.0)
    James, TAA, Justin (Taylor, Mitchell)
    KDB, Salah, Son, Podence (Biss)
    Werner, Richarlison, Mitro

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

      I just did Werner to Jimmy so yes.

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

    Imagine going without ings on wildcard. Some people even picked Werner LMAO

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

      I did, Westbrom was too difficult to ignore. Hindsight.

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 7 months ago

        No need to be a k**b about it

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

          Sorry mate it's my MO 🙂

      • Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I don't mind your ribbing sometimes, but when all you do is that same thing it is incredibly boring. Do something more beneficial for yourself.

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

          At least I also call out when I make awful picks myself like going without DCL

      • Patson Dabaka
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Aren't you the same guy crying that you didn't pick DCL couple hours back? Have a word with yourself (Ings owner)

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

          Yes where's the conflict though. If all my strikers score it turns out all right.

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ings DCL Jim frontline gang

        Will admit it was very hard this week not to go Werner over Jim but stuck to my guns

      • Brehmeren
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        So selling Ings to Martial after gw1 really wasn't my smartest decision

        1. FPL_Devil
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          amen

      • vandebeek
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        So, Podence doesn't play? Ready to take Adams score

      • pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Interested in the seemingly mass move off Chelsea to Everton.

        Everton effectively shut up shop second half and created very little and looked to hold a one goal advantage based on fluke pen. Simply based on today it doesn't look like an attack that is going to be very prolific. Poor fixture perhaps. Was the DCL shot even that good? I'd have that as a goalkeeping error.

        Chelsea were appalling first half of course but were clearly good for 3 goals by the end. Better value at Everton but I'd prefer to be on Havertz I think than Rodriguez. There will be plenty of goals in that team surely.

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

          Put another way I suspect Southampton created more week 1 than Everton did. Differences

          no silly handball pen
          Guaita bad day snd good day
          first goal to away side not Palace

        Hate Ings
