A match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Southampton looks like a fairly low-key end to Gameweek 11 on paper but there is still plenty of interest in this fixture from a Fantasy perspective.

The second most-popular goalkeeper in Fantasy Premier League, Alex McCarthy (£4.6m), starts between the posts for the visitors, while five other players with double-digit FPL ownerships also feature in tonight’s clash on the south coast.

Kick-off at the Amex is at 20:00 GMT.

The team news is fairly straightforward, with only one change between the two clubs from the line-ups we saw in Gameweek 10.

Tariq Lamptey (£4.8m) is back from a one-match ban and replaces forward Neal Maupay (£6.2m), who has recovered from a minor injury but finds himself among the substitutes.

It’s hardly a like-for-like swap and it’ll necessitate a reshuffle from Graham Potter, with Joel Veltman (£4.3m) moving to centre-half and Ben White (£4.4m) pushed into midfield.

Despite tasting defeat against Manchester United last weekend, Ralph Hasenhuttl sticks with the same Southampton side that began that 3-2 loss at St Mary’s.

There are a few notable returnees among the Saints substitutes, with Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) and Mohamed Salisu (£4.3m) available after fitness issues and making the matchday squad.

The headline news is the inclusion of Danny Ings (£8.3m) on the visitors’ bench, with the England international making a playing comeback after a month on the sidelines.

Hasenhuttl said of Ings ahead of kick-off:

Definitely [could get minutes], yes. Could also be a possibility from the beginning but I don’t like to start with players when I know I have to sub them, it limits me in the options I have.

He can always jump in and help us, it’s always good when you have players like him and Reddy on the bench.


Brighton and Hove Albion XI: Ryan, Veltman, Dunk, Webster, Lamptey, White, Bissouma, March, Groß, Connolly, Welbeck.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Vestergaard, Bednarek, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Djenepo, Walcott, Adams.

    DCL > Ings is looking quite a nice switch at some point. I have other priorities but in a few weeks I can see that move happening.

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Was just thinking the same. Always enjoyed owning Ingsy

    2. Party time
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, same but DCL is so consistent & highly owned. We’ll have to wait & see if he will drop form

      Bruno mahrez kdb ziyech
      Dcl vardy bam

      Subs steer cresswell asm lamptey

      1 ft
      Thinking of ziyech and bruno to salah and jwp for -4
      I know everyone will tell me not to sell bruno but i just feel it is wrong to sell vardy against brighton to get the funds for salah, so the only route is sell bruno

      I know after that bruno fixtures are easy like sheffield for eg but maybe after that then see how to get him back?

      1. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        In a similar situation. Don't think I can sell Vardy now and Bruno is the next best option. But even then it's -4 now and -4 to get him back at some point. I'll probably just risk it and go without.

        1. Letsgo!
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Nope i really need salah so i am gonna risk it for this -4

        2. Letsgo!
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Its really about give and take.

    4. Applecore
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      107 (-4) all out - one of the most bizarre game weeks I’ve ever had.

      I really wasn’t happy with my team, I didn’t want Zaha or Son, and wasn’t convinced Salah would score. Only KDB filled me with confidence. Ridiculous seeing every game my players each get 1-2 goals and assists.

      1. Cookie Kid
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Shame about the hit then

          Hopefully you can see that? I just focused on players I thought would start (too many covid cases and injuries at the moment).

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 8 Years

            Well done mate. Awesome score!

      Evening!

      Got 1FT and a mil in the bank. How do I get to Salah, or hold off? Hide behind sofa...

      Martinez
      Chillwell - Lamptey - KWP
      Fernandes - Grealish - KDB - Son
      DCL - Bamford - Kane
      Bench: Kilman - Coufal - Stephens

      1. MARVELLUS
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Don't think you can, which big player would you sacrifice?

    6. MARVELLUS
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A) Forget Salah
      B) Robbo/Jota/DCL out for CTaylor/Salah/Watkins for - 4?

      Liking the look of B, would give me the big four....

      McCarthy
      Robbo Lamptey Dallas Masuaku Chilwell
      KDB Bruno Grealish Jota Anguissa
      DCL Bamford Kane

      1. thepirates
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        B could go the other way to, dont know if I had the nerves to do that!

        1. MARVELLUS
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I know, but Robbo has got 2pts four of the last six. Jota could be benched again if starts CL.
          I agree not easy, don't like losing DCL, but think i will do it tonight, fingers crossed!

      2. Fit_to_drop
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I’ll tell you what you already know. You can’t get Salah in. Without destroying your team. Hope Jota plays and shares the spoils.

        1. MARVELLUS
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Maybe, but does it destroy my team you think?

          Robbo not going mental, Jota a benching headache, DCL maybe drying up a bit, tough fixtures?

          All views appreciated, maybe it is the wrong move, could hold....

          1. Fit_to_drop
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Right now DCL and Robbo give you no reason to drop them. Jota perhaps but if you can’t own Salah - and Jota plays - you have a relatively cheap appeasement in him.

            1. MARVELLUS
              • 16 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Cheers for the advice.
              Think I might pull the trigger, Eve have tough fixtures and aren't looking great. Liv have great fixtures so think Jota to Salah should see a lot of benefit. Robbo has got me a lot of 2pters recently, so has given reason to lose him IMO. Tough one, but might do it for fun, wish me luck!

    7. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I've got up to £8.1M to spend on a Ziyech replacement (and already have Grealish and Jota). Any recommendations (Zaha, Greenwood etc)?

      1. Marcin the Pole
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn't fancy either of those atm really. You're very heavy in the mid-price mids department?

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, good point. Having three mids in that price range isn't ideal.

      2. Dimitris Kavrasoglou
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        What about a cheap midfielder, in order to save 'nough money?

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I could go Ziyech to Bruno, but it would mean downgrading Kane to Wilson or Bamford.

    8. HaffNanner
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A. Ziyech, Vardy > Salah, Wilson

      B. Robertson, Ziyech, Vardy > Dias/James, Salah, Ings (-4)

      Martinez
      Chilwell Robertson Dallas (Masuaku Mitchell)
      KDB Fernandes Ziyech Grealish (Stephens)
      Vardy DCL Bamford

        A

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

      After tonight, how does this look:

      Ziyech > Salah and Vardy > Ings for -4

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Approve

    10. Arteta

      5 years, 4 months ago

      Steer to Kelleher went well. Getting the highest GK scorer of gameweek for free genuinely feels so good. Because I pulled the trigger quite fast I also didn't think about hit(s) which could possibly involve selling Spurs players if I went into the full biased fan mode. Good decision but it took my 3rd Liverpool place for two weeks.

      Hopefully he plays against Fulham and Alisson isn't risked yet. Another clean sheet would be awesome and then it's Martinez time again!

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I went Johnstone. Terrible decision by myself.

        Can’t get them all right, but 99% will have to do.

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Went Johnstone too, didn't even realise Kelleher was an option this week

          1. Right In The Stanchion
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Think I’m selling as soon as I have a spare FT.

            1. matiakez
              • 15 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              It wasnt a bad move. That's only the second time in since game week 3 Johnstone didn't get a save point.

    11. Nespinha

      Mccarthy
      Bellerin, James, Robbo
      Grealish, KDB, Bruno, Son, Podence
      DCL, werner

      Subs: KWP + fodder

      A) Robbo Son - - - Dallas Salah
      B) Bellerin Son DCL - - - Dallas Salah Adams - 4
      C) Robbo Grealish DCL - - - Dallas Salah Bamford - 4

      1. MARVELLUS
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Keep Son. Out of those C but not a massive fan of it because you lose Grealish. I am planning similar above but losing Jota.

        1. Nespinha
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Don't know if getting Salah is worth it, I'm actually happy with my team. Just wanted to get Dallas in

    12. Gabbiadini
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Even more so as a Saints fan I wish I had transferred in Vestergaard over Coufal a few weeks back when they were both 4.5.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        So does everyone atm

        1. Gabbiadini
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          At least I can admirer as a supporter.

    13. cjk17
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Ziyech and Kane > Salah and C. Wilson. Or Bamford?

      Any advice appreciated...

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Selling Kane would be suicide now. Could easily put score Salah this GW

    14. Vazza
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Dear Mr Bissouma,

      Following your recent display against Southampton, I regret to inform you that your services are surplus to requirements and you will be removed from my squad with immediate effect.

      All the best for your future endeavours.

      Kind regards
      Vazza

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I thought he played very well tonight, not a great fpl asset but still easily the pick of the 4.5s

        1. Vazza
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Completely agree but that midfield spot will now be accommodated by mighty Salah

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Makes sense, midfield is where the points are at as always!

    15. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      KDB to Salah done for FT, needed to be done to beat the price rise.
      Fingers crossed no other issues before deadline!

      1. Vazza
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I was originally going to apply the Hokey Cokey strategy but realised that we actually need both simultaneously

        1. Pompel
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Will get KDB back, seeing it as postponing the hit that I'd otherwise would need to take anyway. And someone will always get injured or catch the Covid so new opportunities arise....

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Good luck

        Do absolutely nothing is what i would do.

    17. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Thoughts on this front 8?

      KDB, Bruno, Salah, Mahrez, Grealish
      Wilson, Bamford, Watkins

      Do I need Son or Kane and is that too light up top?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Son in for Mahrez?

        1. Obi Wan Elokobi
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Literally nothing in the bank. Only way I could is Grealish to Jota and Mahrez to Son possibly

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            But.. Do you really need all 8 when you are going to have to bench one of them?

      2. FPL_Motty
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Not really sure i understand.. sure looks great, but you have an attacking 8..? As in, you're just wasting 2/3m sat on your bench on any given week. Downgrade someone? Son is easily miles better than mahrez..

        1. Obi Wan Elokobi
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Yep with Christmas fixtures and fed up of getting done over by injuries and Covid I’m getting a strong bench

        2. JBG
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          This. Play 352 with Son or Kane.

      3. WVA
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        It's great, rumours that Newcastle won't play again this weekend though!

      4. Bram
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Wilson or Watkins to Brewster as permabench gives you Mahrez to Son - think at least 1 of Kane/Son is needed (certainly over a benching headache).

    18. gonzalocampos
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have 0.2 ITB to get Salah, Do I wait and lose that money or make the change now?

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Just lose the money if you don’t need it

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Do it now and remember me next time when you will be able just to afford a transfer.

        My rule is if I am happy with the first on the bench I do it early

      3. FPL_Crisis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Depending on the moves why are you waiting?
        I don’t expect him to feature in champs league this week as they’ve topped the group

    19. balint84
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A) Mane to Salah
      Or
      B) JRod to Jota

      1. Party time
          5 years, 4 months ago

          For this gw, I think B.

          Long term, A

          B

      2. Jdpz
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        a) forget Salah
        b) Kane+Taylor > Ings+Robertson
        c) Son+Kane > Salah+Watkins/Adams
        d) Bruno+Kane > Salah+Werner/Ings
        e) Tierney to James
        f) another option

        Can't understand how Gross gets the 2 BPS over Vestergaard when getting also a yellow card! Vestergaard did not put one foot wrong and was man of the match !

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years

          Groß is a real BAPs magnet, I’ll never forget him getting 3 in a 0-0 away draw at Old Trafford!

              Thankyou. Currently Robbo and Adams over Ings and Lamptey but next week it'll be Ingsy.

                An obscene team value. I can't get close to that

                      I made value on players in between weeks and sold on profit too. So i got extra money from there as well. Players like Justin, cancelo, ziyech, mahrez, vardy etc. And Kane, DCL, Hamez the big ones. Have a 0.1 profit each on robbo and adams too. Maybe there were more but i can't remember them.

                        I'm usually always high team value but not this year

                          Me too but I've gotten extra high this year. Really early too. That's how i can thankfully afford this team.

                          You're still ahead of me by like 40 something points though.

            Meslier (button)
            Chilwell, Zouma, Dallas (Justin, Kilman)
            Salah, KDB, Fernandes, Son, Grealish

          Friedman legendary book the Power of Choice comes to my mind with all this Salah conundrums

            Salah might not even play. Due a rest according to Klopp.

                He’s been complaining about fatigue and resting players. Blaming TV companies for his early Saturday games.

                Keep up son, I’ll have to start charging soon.

              Why would there be scenes? Not sure mane is very highly owned, wouldnt really be much of an issue

            Che Adams averages 2.4ppg when I have him. Still, he's an improvement on Mitro.

            Robertson or TAA?

            1. FPL Daniel

              5 years, 4 months ago

              Trent

            2. Zimo
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Im going without. Thinking of just sticking with my front 7 and using extra 2.5 to do Adams to Ings by downgrading Robbo to a rotating 4.5 depending on who plays Burnley, Sheffield, or WestBrom. That could probably match or outscore Robertson over the season with enough 6 pointers.

            • 9 Years

            76(-4) and barely got a green arrow.

            Sigh, sickening eyes.

            Thoughts on the penalty claim against your opponent?
            - yes, clear penalty

            Thoughts on the penalty claim against your team?
            - to be honest, i didnt see it

            Every manager

            1. Party time
                5 years, 4 months ago

                No, I am a very honest manager.

                -To be honest, that’s not a penalty but I’ll take the points & run
