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.

    Werner to Ings or Jimenez?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years

      Jimenez

    2. Babelcopter

    DCL. I took Ings out for DCL last weekend haha

  5. Rainer

    Saints keeping a CS here.

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

      Nah, need a McCarthy howler.

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Taylor screamer incoming

    3. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hopeful but not confident ......

  6. Ragabolly
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Why was Ings so bad at Liverpool?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      his hamstrings fell off

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        And Liverpool were pretty Sh!t in those days.

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bad luck. A lot of injuries.

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He was injured all the time

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

      Injuries meant he never got going under Klopp. Firmino came & the system was set.

    5. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He only played a dozen or so games. By the time he came back they didn't need him.

    6. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all, it's a shame he didn't get the full chance then, such a natural goalscorer

  7. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ings, Jimi and DCL is a pretty damn effective and cheap front line.

    1. Chucky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      😛 that's what I m getting on my WC

    2. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m wildcarding and thinking that works. Annoying thing is it would have been a pretty sensible call pre gw1

  8. Lucackadoodledoo
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Certainly stings not having Ings

  9. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ings,Jimmy and DCL combo good enough on WC?

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

      Sshhhh

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      One week delay but still good

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Aye but in order to get the midfield I want I can only go Jiminez and Dcl

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Same

  10. Jeremy Corbyn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry, bottomed.

    A) Werner to Jimenez
    B) Davies to James
    C) both for -4
    D) none

    1. abhirup780
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A or none

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

  11. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Jimmy or richarlsion????

    Already have dcl and podence

  12. Planet Jo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I have a slightly trickier decision to make than most:

    Wilson > Jimenez? (have Mitro, Ings as other forwards)

  13. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    0.4m itb available for richarlison to Ings, written in the stars

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Honestly might rather have R-word

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

      No rush to sell Richarlison, especially with pens.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you lose Richarlison?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Have triple everton attack and west brom is a potential ings captaincy, probably won't go through with it though, Rich has 4 returns in his last 3.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          plus pens and James supplying

  14. Arsenal97
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner Rashford => Jimenez Fernandes

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford -> Fernandes is pointless

  15. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking Werner to Martial, is that insane?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      martial looked terrible, check out MOTD

      1. Leonard hatred
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        but if you do, maybe wait to see if martial drops before werner? save some cash.

        1. Dacra
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah was thinking that.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m dropping both on wc

    3. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      lol

  16. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner to Ings surely the move to make?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Or Jimenez

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

        Already got him 🙂

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Then yes Ings it is

  17. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Ings to save my GW!

  18. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Benched McCarthy and Bertrand. I know it’s early days in the match but I just know it was the wrong decision.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Against a depleted Burnley? No sympathy!

  19. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    a) TAA-Mitro
    b) Saiss-Ings.

    Which one?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

  20. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    So DCL, Ings or Jimenez ?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      All 3

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  21. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Commentator: Wood rising well....

    1. Check out my Umtiti's
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Don't get me started. I've still got Tete and Areola to play

  22. Strchld
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I know, transferred 2 weeks ago Ings to Martial. This week on WC Adams and MCcarthy out. CS locked.

  23. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner owners, selling or still keeping faith??

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

      Definitely selling for me.

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Reading the comments tonight then seems overwhelmingly no. I'm getting Jimi in for him.

  24. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I did WC this GW and kept KWP, mental?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      rotates perfectly with Lamptey so no, not that you'd play KWP over Lamptey anyways unless vs City or Pool

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I did start him this week ahead of Lamptey too.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I thought about it, but I have Wood and thought Lamptey can get an attacking return or two. More liekly than Saints CS anyways, lets see 😀

          1. ivantys
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            KWP made a key pass so if they somehow managed to keep a clean sheet he would be getting BPs.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No one of better picks attacking fb

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        No 4.5s could be trusted with clean sheets anyway so I went with him.

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

    Burnley might get that pen later on.

  26. Alex_thekid
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I new going with unproven PL players like Werner Kai was a very risky move its total different ballgame the PL, even the best well known players just dont fit in addapt aclam etc quick enough ir not at all. But yet i went with both from gw1 big mistake follow your gut and head not the sheep

    1. Planet Jo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Often those two things are one and the same.

      I would say go with tried and trusted for the first few GWs.

    2. Budweiser
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Salah exploded first season. I think everyone had Werner

      1. Bram
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Werner ownership was massive - I admit I was swayed by fear.

    3. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Confirmation bias. James Rodriguez has had no problem.

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

        he actually played in a good league tho

  27. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Dyche is such an annoying hypocrite, if an opposition player went down in his box like that he'd 100% call it a dive

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

        He knows he has to play the game.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 6 months ago

            He's barmy, I've seen him complain about dives in a match that literally contained nothing near a dive

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Richarlison or DCL?

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

          Richarlison on pens does complicate things a little, but I still think it's DCL. He lives in the 6 yard box, and players like Rodriguez and Digne will keep him fed.

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

        Kai to Ings for 2 transfers? Exact price and aware of price changes

      4. Pedram
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ings punishing sellers

        1. Check out my Umtiti's
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          @nally punishing?
