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
      • 13 Years

      Jimenez

    2. Babelcopter

    3. Volley127

    DCL. I took Ings out for DCL last weekend haha

  5. Rainer

    Saints keeping a CS here.

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

      Nah, need a McCarthy howler.

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

      Taylor screamer incoming

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

      Hopeful but not confident ......

  6. Ragabolly
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Why was Ings so bad at Liverpool?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      his hamstrings fell off

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

        And Liverpool were pretty Sh!t in those days.

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

      Bad luck. A lot of injuries.

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

      He was injured all the time

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

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

    5. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      5 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
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

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

  7. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      😛 that's what I m getting on my WC

    2. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 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
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Certainly stings not having Ings

  9. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ings,Jimmy and DCL combo good enough on WC?

    1. fantasyfog
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Sshhhh

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      One week delay but still good

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

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

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

        Same

  10. Jeremy Corbyn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry, bottomed.

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

    1. abhirup780
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A or none

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      A

  11. Nightcrawler
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Jimmy or richarlsion????

    Already have dcl and podence

  12. Planet Jo
    • 13 Years
    5 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
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Honestly might rather have R-word

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No rush to sell Richarlison, especially with pens.

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you lose Richarlison?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        5 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
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          plus pens and James supplying

  14. Arsenal97
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Werner Rashford => Jimenez Fernandes

    1. DantheManinaPan
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Rashford -> Fernandes is pointless

  15. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking Werner to Martial, is that insane?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      martial looked terrible, check out MOTD

      1. Leonard hatred
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Dacra
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah was thinking that.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’m dropping both on wc

    3. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      lol

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

    Werner to Ings surely the move to make?

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

      Or Jimenez

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

        Already got him 🙂

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

          Then yes Ings it is

  17. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Ings to save my GW!

  18. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 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…
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Against a depleted Burnley? No sympathy!

  19. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    a) TAA-Mitro
    b) Saiss-Ings.

    Which one?

  20. Kryptonite666
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    So DCL, Ings or Jimenez ?

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

      All 3

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

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

    Commentator: Wood rising well....

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

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

  22. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    5 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
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Werner owners, selling or still keeping faith??

    1. shiraz
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Definitely selling for me.

    2. Bram
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

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

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

    I did WC this GW and kept KWP, mental?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      5 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
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I did start him this week ahead of Lamptey too.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          5 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
            • 5 Years
            5 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…
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No one of better picks attacking fb

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

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

  25. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Burnley might get that pen later on.

  26. Alex_thekid
    • 8 Years
    5 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
      • 13 Years
      5 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
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Salah exploded first season. I think everyone had Werner

      1. Bram
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Confirmation bias. James Rodriguez has had no problem.

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        he actually played in a good league tho

  27. @persecuted_by_mods
      5 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
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        He knows he has to play the game.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            5 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★⚔
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Richarlison or DCL?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          5 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
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

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

      4. Pedram
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Ings punishing sellers

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

          @nally punishing?
