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.

    Havertz is this type of FPL asset that you know if you sell him he will score the next gw so I'm keeping atm

    1. Christina.
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Like Werner?

    2. Pep Roulette
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Surely keeping!

    3. Zimo
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Good good. Keep him. Good

  2. JohnnyCroat
    6 years, 28 days ago

    13+Taylor from today... Three players. Can't see too many Chelsea holders having hauled so that's something.

  3. Cok3y5murf
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner captainers overlooked the fact that WBA looked very decent last week until the red card. Not a plum fixture to target.

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No serious FPL players would even consider putting the armband near Werner.

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Lol you sure?

        1. Christina.
          6 years, 28 days ago

          poor Mark

      2. Collie01

        Has a player who has never scored in the PL ever been so highly captained?

        1. Qaiss
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Ibrahimovic May have been

      3. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 28 days ago

        The guy who had the highest captaincy score out of everyone last year capped him.

        He sounds pretty serious

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I think we mostly overlooked how bad Chelsea looked.

    3. MagicMessi
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Werner is a casual captain pick anyways that's the upside that so many captained him

    4. BoleynWin
      6 years, 28 days ago

      WBA are odds on to be relegated, have conceded heavily in their last two fixtures regardless of circumstances in those games. Chelsea have paid big money for a proven goal scorer that’s one of Europe’s hottest prospects. It was a great fixture on paper to cap.

      Hindsight is a wonderful thing, he looked very poor today and it’s frustrating but we’ve got to roll with it.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        6 years, 28 days ago

        What do you mean regardless of circumstances? Of course circumstances matter. Any team would struggle to avoid conceding after a red card. I agree that their GW1 performance was awful, but they actually looked improved in GW2. Their only weakness seemed to be crosses. And not exactly hindsight from me because I didn't captain Werner.

        1. BoleynWin
          6 years, 28 days ago

          WBA had 11 men all game today and still let in 3, totalling 13 conceded in 4 games inclusive of the cup game. You’re looking too hard at a sending off, they are just generally poor. If you’d like a wager on them being relegated & having the Prems worst goal aggregate when they do I’m game....

          You’re now looking back with information that we didn’t have at the time, very easy to point fingers at incorrect calls when you know the outcome in the end. So yes, it is hindsight.
          If you’re going to pay 9.5mill for a striker, in a top 6 club, that has historically scored freely, then you should be looking at capping them. There will always be fails such as today, like I said we’ve just got to roll with them.

    5. MrZ
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Werner played POO to accommodate tammy.

      Why oh why frank didn't want to play 2 strikers formation when he has only 1 winger & playing wba?...

  4. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Was Werner even half decent today? At all close to returns??

    1. yash
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No

    2. Christina.
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Zero

    3. fr3d
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Kneejerk him out asap

    4. antis0cial
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No, didn’t look great.

    5. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No he was awful, hit the bar in the first half but that's it

    6. ELTACTICO
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Performance wise I thought he was fine but aside from hitting bar never got close to scoring

    7. Free Hat
      6 years, 28 days ago

      No. Plain awful.

    8. Dr. Rog
      6 years, 28 days ago

      on pens, right?

    9. Groot the Leveller
      6 years, 28 days ago

      So alternatives.... Kane, really?
      Martial...? I just sold him on a knee jerk last week.....
      Richarlinson.... Really?

  5. Firminooooo
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Another GW from hell..........

    1. Party time
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Absolutely

    2. MagicMessi
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Captain Werner?

      1. Firminooooo
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Close, but went KdB. Hope he can save me.

  6. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 28 days ago

    I guess James is enough from Chelsea. Attacking points more random for this team

    1. F4L
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Just waiting for the American to come back

  7. Ian J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner (captain failure) & Martial (just a big failure) need to go!
    What does 18.5 M buy you these days? (I have DCL)
    Any suggestions, please
    Don't mind taking a hit

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Jimenez to start with

    2. Khalico
      6 years, 28 days ago

      jimenez for one of them

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Jimenez Ings plum fixtures?

    4. Ian J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Jimi, the ever reliable it shall be.
      Thanks.
      keep one, Werner or Martial or a hit for another striker?

  8. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner (and possibly all other Chelsea players) to expensive at the moment for a player in a team that seem a bit too confused.

    Will surely get better over time, but that might take a few weeks or even months.

    1. Qaiss
      6 years, 28 days ago

      2 more game weeks, then out

  9. ELTACTICO
    6 years, 28 days ago

    The smart people captained Sterling or De Bruyne!

    1. Qaiss
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I went Bruno

      1. Amey
        6 years, 28 days ago

        😀
        Nice

    2. Hairy Potter
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I went Jimi

    3. sunzip14
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Kane

    4. Groot the Leveller
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yay, I went sterling...

    5. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Models had Salah at the top. Good enough for me

    6. puhd
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Or Salah

  10. FC
    6 years, 28 days ago

    If Tarkowski is fit next gw, who is he likely to replace? Dunne or long?

    1. Free Hat
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Dunne

      1. FC
        6 years, 28 days ago

  12. MrZ

    Kepa : 2 goals conceded vs Pool
    Caballero : 3 goals conceded vs wba

    Welcome Mendy...

  13. Christina.
    6 years, 28 days ago

    how was that not a haverz handball?

    1. Rainer
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Goal came from the next phase.

      1. jason_ni
        6 years, 28 days ago

        the next phase where the ball bounced from havertz to mount?

        Ridiculous rule, I dont think it was a handball regardless of the phase, his arms.by his side, no movement toward the ball!

    2. Ask Yourself
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Romanticism

    3. FPL ElasticO
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Yeah VAR not applicable for Big teams....

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Rules on attacking handball were changed, his hand was close enough to the body. Correct decision.

    5. Fpl_Juggernaut
      6 years, 28 days ago

      New handball rule.. Please get educated first

      1. Livinginapool
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 28 days ago

        They're significantly changed every year. It's ridiculous. You can't criticise anyone for not keeping up.

        Sometimes I think the IFAB just change rules to keep themselves relevant.

        1. Zimo
          6 years, 28 days ago

          What are the new rules? Is it different for attacking players than defenders?

          1. Livinginapool
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 28 days ago

            I have no idea. Apparently it now matters if it's accidental for forwards, which it didn't last year.

            1. Zimo
              6 years, 28 days ago

              Thanks. Very weird ruling that is. Should be same for defenders

      2. Christina.

                  6 years, 28 days ago

                  Stopped the record, that's the main thing. How did you do on this today. I done Sheeite. Need Harry Kane to go Radio Rental tomorrow and KDB to have PTSD to have any hope of not taking a big drop

                  1. Gnu

                    KdB captain and have DCL, Fernandes & Digne so ok ish.....

  14. Rainer
    6 years, 28 days ago

    James could get a few 15+ hauls this season if Chelsea ever keep a CS again.

    1. Flair
      6 years, 28 days ago

      The entire attack went through him, I'm keeping but I'm not sure if he'll start

    2. Ask Yourself
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Problem is he is part of the defensive problem

    3. fr3d
      6 years, 28 days ago

      It's almost as if he's already had a 14 pointer

  15. Pep Roulette
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Is tonight the night when Adams rewards it's owners?

    1. F4L
      6 years, 28 days ago

      looking at Burnley's centre half pairing I'd say there's a good chance.

      1. Pep Roulette
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Amen

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I have a feeling Saints will look good tonight in a 3-0 type performance.

      1. Pep Roulette
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Would love a 3-0! Have McCarthy as well!

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 28 days ago

          I just think Burnley look in a pretty bad place. No disrespect to him as he's a good pro, but when Dale Stephens is signed and comes straight into midfield, it's not a great sign. Mee and Tarkowski out too.

    3. ivantys
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Next week he surely will

  16. FPL ElasticO
    6 years, 28 days ago

    What are you guys doing with Werner?
    I'm thinking of getting Jimenez instead of Werner..... Any suggestions??

    1. Flair
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Already have Jimi, Werner stays.

      1. FPL ElasticO
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Ok.... Still have the faith good to see...

      2. stat sifter 888888
        6 years, 28 days ago

        How was the "experienced, world class CB" against West Brom? Great stuff. If you want to know how good Silva is then ask this guy.^^

    2. One for All
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Ings or Dcl, I already have Jimenez

    3. Das Boot
      6 years, 28 days ago

      They both have decent fixtures ahead. It's hard to say this early on but surely Chelsea won't be as bad as this again.

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Only just got him in. Keep him for next 2 home games against poor sides. Far too much knee-jerking going on here.

      1. Das Boot
        6 years, 28 days ago

        I agree

  17. jason_ni
    6 years, 28 days ago

    So far wc seems to be working, martial and werner out for dcl and havertz in.

    Dunne up next, heres hoping for a dogged Burnley cs!!

  18. Rash
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner to DCL on the cards now after that.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Did it after week one. Worked out a treat.

    2. FPL ElasticO
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I'm thinking of getting Jimenez for Werner.... Chelsea has not settled as a team.... & they are missing Pulisic flair & Ziyech creativity....

  19. ☈☾
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Mark with another terrible GW with Werner cap?

    Play your own moves and don't copy 😛

    1. Hairy Potter
      6 years, 28 days ago

      I used Mark's captain reasoning from FPL Black Box, but went Jimi instead. Will see if it actually pays off.

      1. Mo Mané No Problems
        6 years, 28 days ago

        GW1 I changed from Auba to Salah captain after listening to Mark's argument on BlackBox. Decided not to do that with Werner over KDB this week. Almost went with the same logic thinking the experts know better but shows that not always.

    2. Flair
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Damn, that's unfortunate

      1. stat sifter 888888
        6 years, 28 days ago

        Like your opinion on Thiago Silva? Great stuff.

        1. stat sifter 888888
          6 years, 28 days ago

          Letting Callum Robinson of WBA score against him twice lololol, keep up the football manager and completely useless player ratings.

        2. Flair
          6 years, 28 days ago

          One mistake? Lmao, rubbish.

  20. Strchld
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Season over, everyone who has scored a goal for me: Hamez and Salah

  21. DA Minnion (Former great)
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Have 3 playing in this game. McCarthy Ings and Taylor. Nil nil best or Ings to go mental.

  22. Kodap
    6 years, 28 days ago

    Werner is coming straight out my team now, absolutely shocking.. so annoying that I went for him over Son 🙁

    Who to move him out for? Already own DCL & Jimmy up top.

    When Werner scores 1, he’ll go on a run. Selling before 2 home plum fixtures is stupid. But go ahead!

    1. fr3d
      6 years, 28 days ago

      Selling before Whipping Boys Albion is just stupid.

        He’s 35% owned because of Palace and Southampton at home coming up. Wait and see.

          Southampton and Palace are polar opposites.

      Not with him not being CF.

      Chelsea need their first team fit and to find a formation and a position for Werner that works and stick to it. It will come, probably, but could be two weeks or two months.

    Werner & Foden > Maupay & Son? Possible options...

      Why ship Foden

        My point is Werner --> Maupay is a downgrade and Forden --> Son is not a big upgrade

        But if it's for the money then sure

          After today, Werner to Maupay can be seen as an upgrade lol
