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.

    Would love another McCarthy save please

      If you saw him last week you’d be praying he doesn’t have to face another shot

      1. Niho992
        6 years, 27 days ago

        this

  2. Salah’s Sonnet

    People are shocked to have an awful start to this season. I’m used to it from lasr season, worst start ever, and the whole season stayed that way. Guess the same may happen this season, seriously depressing this fol lark lol

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Fpl*

    2. BenDavies
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Just as well I beat you to first post, would have been a depressing start

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Huh? I don’t get it

        1. BenDavies
          6 years, 27 days ago

          I'm the post above you!

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            6 years, 27 days ago

            Ahhhhh of course, ah well top post or not, game is depressing lol

    3. AIRMILES
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Totally. There was a time when I'd be depressed if I wasn't in the top 100k overall. Now I'd be chuffed to be in the top million. In fairness, I don't spend nearly as much time on this as I used to.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Exactly, it’s become zero fun, and all progression with the game gets spoilt within minutes

  3. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Werner to Jimi before he rises ?

    1. JollyGoodYellows
      6 years, 27 days ago

      That's what I'm thinking. Always risky before Jimmy plays though.

    2. People in Preston
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Solid transfer.

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    6 years, 27 days ago

    this could be the season burnley finally get relegated and I am all for it

    1. AIRMILES
      6 years, 27 days ago

      I agree. They've never provided an interesting moment of football in all the matches I've watched.

      1. AIRMILES
        6 years, 27 days ago

        That said, there's a place of managers like Sean Dyche. He might play championship football but it's nice for PL clubs to have to play against it.

      2. ELTACTICO
        6 years, 27 days ago

        maybe not for you they havent

  5. Lucky Z
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Bardsley is such a legend.

    Played for ManUtd in 2003/04 season together with Solskjaer, Barthez, Forlan, C.Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Keane and others.

    1. Bartowski
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Oh cool, next United manager then.

  6. puhd
    6 years, 27 days ago

    McCarthy
    TAA Vinagre Justin Taylor Mitchel
    Son Sterling Salah Rodriguez Soucek
    Jimmy Mitro Brewster

    A: upgrade Soucek to Foden
    B: -4 Upgrade Brewster to a DCL, By downgrading Soucek

  7. JollyGoodYellows
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Werner to one of Jimenez/DCL tonight?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 27 days ago

      For sure

    2. El Presidente
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Hold

    3. AIRMILES
      6 years, 27 days ago

      If I had him, I'd keep him for now, unless I needed to free up funds

  8. Zimo
    6 years, 27 days ago

    How are burnley in control in this boring match? What's happening

    1. Piggs Boson
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Southampton have changed. They're sitting back...

      I guess they learnt their lesson last week.

      1. Zimo
        6 years, 27 days ago

        I wish they had learned it a match later

  9. Kodap
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Take McCarthy out, inevitable clean sheet... LOL

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Gotta laugh haven’t ya, in for a world of hurt again this season

    2. Del Griffith
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Yep these are the rules

  10. Henning
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Inga or Jimenez in for Werner?
    Learning towards Jimenez.

    1. Henning
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Ings or Jimenez : )

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Jimenez I think but both good

  11. Saka White Rice
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Would you add Ings on a WC?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Ings Jimenez and DCL strikeforce looks good

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Yes but southampton look poor all over so just be careful

    3. XabiAlonso
      6 years, 27 days ago

      I did last week

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    6 years, 27 days ago

    people actually got chris wood in 😆 i'd rather quit playing fpl than bring in a Burnley striker

    1. FFSbet.com
      6 years, 27 days ago

      True,dullards

    2. Piggs Boson
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Boring as hell but he gives you good value. 14 goals and strong underlying data last season.

      If Jimenez wasn't such a strong option I'd probably have him.

      1. MrZ
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Plus good fixtures ahead.
        It's between him or bamford on wc, went with the latter.

    3. George Sillett
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Which people ?

    4. Del Griffith
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Bit harsh, it's points that matter in fpl

  13. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Worth a wildcard? Or -4 to do werner and Soucek to Jimenez and foden

    McCarthy steer
    Taa vinagre Taylor Justin Mitchell
    Salah kdb rashford HRod Soucek
    Werner Mitrovic Brewster

    Would likely only keep salah and kdb from front 8

    1. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Yep - WC

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Cheers easy

  14. Niho992
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Burnley goal incoming unfortunately.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Please.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Hope so. The scrappiest of scrappy goals please

  15. Twisted Saltergater

    6 years, 27 days ago

    Southampton have learnt to drop off now, then. What were they thinking vs Spurs?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      That’s was painful! Especially after selling son

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 27 days ago

        It was a horror show. I genuinely worried about some people's mental state given Son dropped 0.1m going into that game.

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 27 days ago

          Looks daft in hindsight but spurs were just so bad vs Everton and Man U got over hyped!

    2. Ser Davos
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Looks like Stephen took the brunt for that

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Ah, hadn't noticed Stephens isn't playing.

  16. Big_Bear
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Knew I'd be busy this weekend so I did my transfer midweek and bought Jesus in. Logged in to see what had happened in football in last 48 hours and did a face palm.

    Now I've just transfered Jesus out for Jimi.
    I could have had Jimi and FT if I'd have known!

    I've got Mccarthy, KWP and JWP in this game. Hope they can come good.

    Queue Burnley goal...

    1. ivantys
      6 years, 27 days ago

      I was forced to WC thanks to that stupid random injury to Jesus, I'm so pissed at him will never get him in again.

      1. Big_Bear
        6 years, 27 days ago

        I've burned my FT already. With B.Davies I wanted it to get to a Wolvea defender. Im on the backfoot to injuries now.
        Hope my team all remain fit!

        1. ivantys
          6 years, 27 days ago

          Worst thing is he happened to get injured on a Friday. High chance I would score better this week though thanks to him.

    2. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      cue

  17. FFSbet.com
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Someone congratulate McCarthy and KWP owners

  18. Pedram
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Soton breaking the no cleansheet streak, who would've thunk that.

    1. Check out my Umtiti's
      6 years, 27 days ago

      I bet my left nutsack they let in a goal

      1. Pedram
        6 years, 27 days ago

        I will hold you to that

      2. Bartowski
        6 years, 27 days ago

        What condition is this left nutsack in? Is the right one up for grabs as well?

  19. adstomko
    6 years, 27 days ago

    'Premier League has been full of goals since the restart.'

    Yet Burnley vs Southampton has been the worst game of football known to man.

  20. Shultan
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Got rid of Mccarthy Adams ings on WC, so of course they all return

    1. BenDavies
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Getting rid of Ings is 100% your fault

  21. Jdpz
    6 years, 27 days ago

    How many saves has McCarthy?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Needs one more for save point and probably 2bonus

  22. EmreCan Hustle
    6 years, 27 days ago

    JWP is useless.

    1. Big_Bear
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Agreed! Other issues with my team so I can see him clogging it up for a while!

    2. ivantys
      6 years, 27 days ago

      He is just a 4.5 now without penalties

  23. Ser Davos
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Didn't there used to be a rule when points were taken away for concedinf penalties?

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      yeah, -2 I think

      1. Ser Davos
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Odd. Wonder when they scrapped it

  24. Differentiator
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Charlie Taylor looks a great FPL pick

    1. BenDavies
      6 years, 27 days ago

      This. He's whipping in crosses at alarming rates and has a good shot on him. If Burnley can shore up their defence a bit, he could be essential.

  25. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Ings or DCL? Replacing Adams

  26. Niho992
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Rest McCarthy now Ralph !

  27. owenread
    6 years, 27 days ago

    what do I do with martial?

    Martinez
    TAA, Digne, Saiss
    Podence, KDB, B Fernandes, J Rodriguez
    Martial, Jimenez, DCL

    Bench: Steer, Justin, Mitchell, Bissouma

    0.5itb

  28. manu4life99
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Get jiminez in before price rise or wait?

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 27 days ago

      why would you want to wait if you'd like to have him?

      1. manu4life99
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Most players are yet to play including jimi, so injury risk etc

  29. Babelcopter
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Adams useless again.. Only staying because of Werner.

  30. Royal5
    6 years, 27 days ago

    Che Adams owners: time to ship?

    1. Babelcopter
      6 years, 27 days ago

      Werner out first.

      1. Royal5
        6 years, 27 days ago

        Understandable

    2. ELTACTICO
      6 years, 27 days ago

      cant be bothered with these subs, he's out
