Ings blanks in first Double Gameweek 25 fixture amid Chelsea penalty latest

SOUTHAMPTON 1-1 CHELSEA

  • Goals: Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) | Mason Mount (£6.8m)
  • Assists: Nathan Redmond (£6.4m)
  • Bonus: Mount x3, Minamino x2, Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m) x1, Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.7m) x1

INGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER

Ings takes Mount down inside the penalty area

It was an inauspicious start to Double Gameweek 25 for Danny Ings (£8.5m), who recorded a two-point score at home to Chelsea.

The forward failed to create a chance in the match and had just one shot – a 71st-minute rebound which was well off target, after Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m) had hit the crossbar with a header.

Ings’ biggest contribution in the match was for the opposing team, as he gave away a penalty early in the second half by fouling Mason Mount (£6.8m) in the box.

“Tackling in the box is always dangerous and Ingsy knows this. He thought it was a cross coming in, wanted to block the cross.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

With Jorginho (£4.7m) on the substitutes’ bench, Mount stepped up to level from the spot and confirm himself as Chelsea’s second-choice penalty taker.

Ings owners, meanwhile, will be hoping Tuesday’s clash away to Leeds will prove much more fruitful after a possession-hungry Chelsea starved Southampton of chances on Saturday.

While Southampton appeared to flit between a back-four and a back-three early in the tie, Ralph Hasenhuttl’s men effectively reverted to his tried-and-tested 4-2-2-2 system – though number 12 Moussa Djenepo (£5.4m) was far more withdrawn than we are used to seeing.

However, lack of possession was the real cause of Ings’ shot-shy performance rather than formation.

TAKI ON ME

Southampton loanee Minamino nets the opener at home to Chelsea

Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) scored in the first half with Southampton’s only open-play goal attempt of the entire match.

Nathan Redmond (£6.4m) managed to find space behind the Chelsea midfield before sliding a ball through to Minamino on 33 minutes.

The on-loan Liverpool forward sold dummies to both Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.7m) and Edouard Mendy (£5.1m) before finishing with the outside of his boot.

Minamino’s goal is the first Chelsea have conceded to an opposition player since Tuchel took over as manager ahead of Gameweek 20. That run consisted of league ties against Wolves, Burnley, Spurs, Sheffield United and Newcastle.

“We played the maximum what we can at the moment. Tactically, against such a strong side with their possession stats, it’s important that you are committed against the ball. We defended quite well. The draw is, for us, like a win today. A first step back to our old behaviours, I think. With the ball, he (Minamino) is definitely a win for us. Against the ball, he still has to do a little bit more. But he learns this; it’s not something you learn from one day to the next, it takes a little bit of time.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

TUCHY SUBJECT

Abraham battles with Mohammed Salisu

Despite holding an ice pack to an ankle which had already taken a whack in Gameweek 24, Tammy Abraham‘s (£7.2m) half-time substitution was a tactical change. Thomas Tuchel explained:

“I’m not concerned about him. It [his substitution] was not from injury. It was hard for him to show his quality. Tammy could not put his stamp on this game so we changed, a little bit, the formation.” – Thomas Tuchel

Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.7m) was Abraham’s replacement but lasted just 30 minutes before being hooked by the German.

“We brought in Hudson but with Hudson, I was not happy with the energy and with the attitude in counter-pressing. So we decided to take him off again because we demand a lot. We demand one hundred per cent. I had the feeling that he is not right in this shape. So it’s a decision for today. A hard decision, I know, for the players to come on and off but tomorrow, it’s forgotten. He has all possibilities to start again against Atletico [Madrid].” – Thomas Tuchel

Chelsea’s lack of cutting edge in the final third was the real bee in Tuchel’s bonnet following the 1-1 draw. Such a display, against team a team riddled with defensive personnel problems perhaps does not bode too well for a Double Gameweek 26 schedule which pits the Blues against Manchester United (home) and Liverpool (away).

“Sometimes it’s like this in football; you concede one chance and they score. We were very, very good in the first 80 metres of the pitch but in the last 20, I was not happy. We were not decisive enough, we were not aggressive enough. We were not clinical enough; to be ahead, to create more chances, to create more big chances. Decision making was not good today. For me, frustrating was the last 20 metres. We had so many opportunities – half-chances – and I had the feeling we end our own attack, ourselves.” – Thomas Tuchel


Southampton XI (4-2-2-2): McCarthy; Bertrand, Salisu, Vestergaard, Bednarek; Romeu, Ward-Prowse; Minamino (Tella 74′), Djenepo; Ings (Adams 85′), Redmond (N’Lundulu 90+3).

Chelsea XI (3-4-2-1): Mendy; Rudiger, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Alonso, Kante, Kovacic (Jorginho 75′), Reece James; Werner, Mount; Abraham (Hudson-Odoi 46′, Ziyech 75′).

Elsewhere in Double Gameweek 25…

Burnley collected their ninth clean sheet of the season as they drew 0-0 with West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon.

However, owners of their defensive assets can probably consider themselves a little fortunate to benefit from the shut-out.

It looked, at first, that a red card for Semi Ajayi (£4.8m) in the opening period would severely dent the Baggies’ ability to trouble Nick Pope (£5.6m) but the exact opposite happened.

West Brom were comfortably the more attacking of the two outfits in the second half at Turf Moor and really should have found the net on multiple occasions.

Mbaye Diagne (£6.0m) had a close-range effort cleared onto the crossbar while Matheus Pereira (£5.4m) fluffed a golden chance in front of a largely unguarded goal after a square-ball.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (£4.6m) really should have blasted the loose ball home, instead playing a sideways pass back to Pereira whose second effort was cleared off the line by James Tarkowski (£5.3m).

The centre-back is currently on for maximum bonus while Pope, who made two saves, is projected to receive two. Matt Lowton (£4.5m) is on one bonus despite a late yellow card.

Everton finally won their first Premier League match at Anfield for the first time since 1999 and there was involvement for some key Fantasy assets.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m) was named on the bench but still managed to get himself an assist after he came on and was fouled by Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.4m).

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) netted the resulting penalty, his second goal in his last three away matches.

Richarlison (£7.9m) also extended his recent form when he opened the scoring in the first few minutes of the encounter.

He has now scored in each of his last two matches, James Rodríguez (£7.7m) laying on the assist this time around. The Colombian has now registered an attacking return in two of his last three starts too.

Everton’s first clean sheet since Gameweek 15 came at the expense of a Liverpool attack that, once again, offered little going forward at home.

They have found the net just twice in their last six Premier League outings at Anfield.

      It was a well taken goal. Cool finish. Redmond's through ball was pinpoint too. Beautiful.

    This season has thrown the "well it can't get any worse" line of thinking out the window. Because with each passing GW, it is infact getting much worse.

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      It's going to get worse too, before it gets worse!

    Just realised I'm the only one who has DCL in our 24 man mini league... How is that possible.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Majority played WC this week and avoided him?

      1. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah this. I suspect many will get him back this week

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      either everyone WC or you're in a terrible league.

  6. BERGKOP
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Richarlison or DCL for 26?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison for now.

      1. BERGKOP
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

    2. Buzzy

      Like it.

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nice differential. But with Ajayi possibly out for 3 games can you rely on cs?

      1. Weilong7
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Think ajayi is out for 1?

        1. Weeb Kakashi
          • 8 Years

          Direct red it was?

            • 14 Years

            Not violent.

          2. Weilong7
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Yeah but like TM said. Not violent conduct hence only 1 game

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        They somehow managed to keep a CS with 10 men, so I'm hopeful. (Burnley were poor tbf)

        Just a season end punt I guess, overall team is looking very template.

        1. Weilong7
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Should have won it in fact.. yeah Burnley was poor even with 11.. lucky cs tbf.. had Pope and heart in mouth at times esp the one against the cross bar and tark goal line clearance haha

    3. Buzzy
      • 6 Years

      can't see more than 1 return across those fixtures ( cpl )

      1. Buzzy

        my bad - meant against NEW

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah

        Probably going to take the risk anyway, can't find a better pick in that range. Aina or Holgate can work but their fixtures...

    Best combination for next 3 gameweeks 16.5m

    A DCL + Grealish
    B Watkins + Son
    C Vardy + JWP

    A+B for -4, C for free

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years

      A. But Grealish apparently injured.

    Thoughts on this FH Team?

    Ederson
    Digne Cancelo Reguilon
    Salah Son Grealish Barnes
    Kane DCL Watkins

    Depends on Grealish' fitness. If he is out then its Vardy El-Ghazi and Castagne instead of Watkins Grealish and Barnes.

    Thoughts Appreciated.

    1. Buzzy
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Reguilon injured ? like the rest of the team

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why no any City attackers? Would fancy Gundo/Foden etc to outscore most DGW players even if they play one game.

      1. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Fancy 2 games over 1. Barnes and Grealish with 2 games work better for me over Foden or Gundo.

  10. Helpmepls
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bamford and Son > Kane and Maddison/Barnes?

    1. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would you be surprised if Son outscores Kane in 26?

      1. zøphar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would of course not advocate selling Son but I would be surprised yes if he outscores Kane in 26, given the bus parking nature of the opposition

        1. Rolls-Royce
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Don't think Fulham will park the bus. Even more so because it's a derby.

      2. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        No. Son is explosive and has a track record of going on some insane goal-soring run.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      selling Son ?

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

    4. Helpmepls
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Son stays! Sterling will be sold to free up funds for Kane

  11. Bounce
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    1 FT & £0.7 ITB (WC2, BB, TC)

    Pope, McCarthy
    Cancelo, Dias, Dallas, Coufal, Lowton
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Gündo, Raphinha
    Ings, DCL, Bamford

    DGW25: 5 players
    DGW26: 9 players
    DGW27: 5 players
    BGW29: 5 players
    ______________________________

    Trying to figure out how to get Kane in my team to minimise the damage next week.

    Son & Ings > Barnes & Kane (-4)?

    The problem I have is that I bought Salah, Bruno and Son all at their base prices, which makes me quite reluctant to sell them. But I don't see any other way to find the money for Kane. What do you guys think?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would you be willing to take a -8 if it means keeping Son?

      Pope, McCarthy, Ings to Areola, 3.9, Kane

      1. Bounce
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        McCarthy is the same price as Areola, so that would be the same as doing Pope & Ings > 3.9 & Kane.

        I'd be 0.4 short of doing that move unfortunately, but thanks for looking though.

        1. Buzzy
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Pope,Coufal, Ings to Areola,Burn,Kane... does that work ?

          1. Bounce
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            0.6 off, thanks for your help though, appreciate it.

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ummm... Can work but I'm not sure you are making any major changes.

      What's the plan for GW29 since you are getting rid of triple Leeds?

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That’s my risk with only 7 at the moment....could that be enough?

  13. Arctic monkeys
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Losing one of Bruno and Salah in WC is driving me nuts.

    Can't afford anymore fu**ups this seasn.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have gone GWs without Salah. And although he scored in some of them and is scary not to own, I feel the decision was right.
      I feel Bruno delivers more often than Salah even if United aren't great.
      But there's also the option of swapping between them depending on fixtures.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      They are best assets in the game. Unnecessary risk IMO

  14. Arctic monkeys
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Also I think Pereira Digne Kane Watkins Dias and Gundo and maybe Barnes are the most nailed for me in WC. Any other options you'd think are very important in DGW26 ?

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL

  15. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with this team?

    Martinez
    CANCELO STONES DIER Digne
    Fernandes Son Grealish Gundogan
    Bamford Watkins
    --------------------------------------------------
    Pope - Ings - Raphinha - Dallas
    1FT, 6M itb.

    Bamford to Kane (FT) is the plan(unless Kane is a doubt).

    The players capitalized are unlikely to start both.
    Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    1. Jebiga
      • 11 Years

      Hm, no Salah and Grealish potential injury could hurt

  16. Jebiga

    1. Bamford and Rapinha to Jorginho and Kane for -4 hit
    2. DCL to Kane for free

        Bench fodder and thinking of bb. But then bb will be shete :

    Anyone else watch less PL football since seriously playing fpl? Too much to annoyed about

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      be*

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I only watch football when their is fantasy involvement 😮

      Can't be bothered to watch a game with no output. It's FPL because of which I watch. Fwiw, I have never seen Messi or Ronaldo play live for their clubs 😀

      1. JJeyy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Im the opposite, I only watch CL games and some of the big PL games. If I watch for FPL it just gets frustrating personally

    3. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kills the enjoyment surely

    4. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Watch more because of it

    5. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Nope.
      Of course a fantasy lover but separated feelings.

      I'll check my team once the results are over. Enjoy the game of football for the game of football.

    6. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’d do watch less I’d say actually.

    7. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Watching a lot more because of the coverage switch ; but the quality has been largely dire because of the insanity of the schedule. Worst Prem season in a very, very long time.

  19. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years

    Can Liverpool finish in top 4 this season?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Its between Chelsea and Liverpool imo

    2. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      of course they "can"

      Like United last year it’ll take everyone around them falling apart. I don’t think we have the squad. United and Chelsea are in, Leicester are the only hope to stumble like they did in 19/20.

        3 years, 1 month ago

        And honestly the way games are going at the moment top six would be hard.

    In your opinion who is the Best 8m DGW26 ST to have that is not Watkins or DCL (already got them)

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      richarlson?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison or Diagne

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think the best option is Kane, Watkins & Everton ... not much else below £8 mill with a double worth looking at unless you want to get into punt territory

      Cavani(if fit)

  21. Von Lipwig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench boost this lot and have done with it?
    (Pope Lowton Raphinha Dallas)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, maybe change Dallas if you have a spare FT

      1. Von Lipwig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        but not for a -4 right? (especially with BGW29 coming)

        1. Holmes
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, -4 to Villa defender could be worth it.

        and thanks btw 🙂

    Would you lose Salah if it allows you to get BOTH Kane and Son??

    1. JJeyy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      would rather lose bruno considering fixtures

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m losing Bruno due to fixtures, can easily get him back,

  23. StopItHarold
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on my DGW 26 team? Got 9 currently on 2 fixtures

    Martinez
    Mee Cancelo Digne
    Sterling Fernandes Son M.Pereira
    Ings Bamford DCL

    Im thinking Targett + Watkins in for Mee + Bamford (-4 hit)

    Planning on TC for Son...

  24. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Willing to take a hit, what to do?

    Martinez ¦ Forster
    Maguire Cancelo Lowton
    Bruno Rashford Grealish Gundogan
    Jesus Ings Bamford
    ¦ Saka Holding Coufal

    2 FT, 5.0 ITB

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus Ings Bam Grealish out - Kane, Son, Richa & Watkins in

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn't trade any of those 4.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          8 games v 3 in GW26, flip back to Ings in 27 😉

    2. StopItHarold
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Kane Waktins KDB >> Jesus Bamford Rashford

  25. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is Ings, Bamford, Dallas -> DCL, Richarlison/Diagne, Digne worth a -8? Will be BBing next GW.

    1. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Effectively it's only a -4 since I'm getting the extra games.

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        But ings plays twice the following week so that’s a -4, not -2?

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Great moves imho ...

    3. Ruud000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you’ve got FH left.
      Otherwise it’s -4’s as you lose out on gw29.

    4. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would drop Bam -> Rich move and only take -4.

    5. Easy Cheesy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Do you have fh for 29?

  26. UnitednationsXI

    Morning dzzz, best moves here with a view to BB26 (WC31/FH33).1ft 0m

    Martinez -- Forster
    Stones Cancelo Digne Lowton -- Dallas
    Bruno Son Gundog Grealish(inj.) -- Raphinha
    Dcl Kane -- Bamford

    A: Forster + Grealish >> Areola + Barnes/Maddison (-4) and BB with 12 doublers + 3 Leeds (AVL)

    B: Forster + Grealish + Dallas >> Areola + Barnes + Shaw (-8) to BB with 13 doublers. means one less player (or extra hit) for bgw29. Could look to FH29 if required too

    C: Forster + Grealish + Dallas >> Areola + Barnes + Konsa/Davies (-8)..means i still keep a player for gw29

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is Grealish out?

      1. UnitednationsXI
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yip pretty much

  27. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one:

    A) Raphinha + Maja
    B) Bamford + Jorginho

    Also should I WC with Struijk, Vestergaard and one of those Leeds boys? Have 12 other DGWers including 2 playing keepers.

  28. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender to get for dgw?
    Digne or Pereira (Leo)?
    Have Stone Cancelo already

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      (Leicester)

    2. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs, Leicester or Everton def

  29. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    These moves worth a hit? Using BB

    Ings (eve) + Coufal (mci) -> DCL (SOU, wba) + Davies (BUR, ful)

  30. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Going forward with Man City .... are we best with ...

    2 x MID and 1 x DEF
    1 x MID and 2 x DEF

    Thanks

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      possibly 1 mid and 2 def

      does kdb returning effect gundo's output?

        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That’s a big question.
