Broja benched as Hasenhuttl opts for Adams and Armstrong up front

Gameweek 11 gets underway at St Mary’s Stadium tonight as Southampton play host to Aston Villa.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Southampton, who have taken seven points from their last three matches, make just the one change as Stuart Armstrong (£5.8m) replaces Nathan Redmond (£5.9m), who missed training this week and is isolating.

That means Che Adams (£6.8m) and Adam Armstrong (£5.9m) lead the line again, with popular budget forward Armando Broja (£5.0m) a substitute after overcoming an ankle injury.

As for Villa, Dean Smith makes three changes from the side that lost 4-1 to West Ham United in Gameweek 10, as captain Tyrone Mings (£4.9m), Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m) and Anwar El Ghazi (£5.7m) come in for Kortney Hause (£4.4m) and Jacob Ramsey (£4.5m), who both drop to the bench, plus the suspended Ezri Konsa (£4.9m).


GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Livramento, Bednarek, Salisu, Walker-Peters, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Elyounoussi, S Armstrong, Adams, A Armstrong

Subs: Forster, Lyanco, Long, Perraud, Broja, Djenepo, Tella, Diallo, Walcott

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Tuanzebe, Mings, Targett, Nakamba, McGinn, Bailey, Buendia, El Ghazi, Watkins

Subs: Steer, Young, Hause, Philogene-Bidace, Chukwuemeka, Archer, Davis, A Ramsey, J Ramsey

    Setting my bus team and realizing that I have 2 weeks to agonize over the bench again...

    Ridiculous that Livra has to sit vs Norwich but I can't get him in the team atm.

      lol same. ive tinkered with dropping Raph or Toney but feels wrong

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He's a point scorer but lacks psychology impact.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I benched R James for him 😉 Somebody will be injured anyway or Raphinha comes late...

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah there's no way that can backfire. Absolutely no way...

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Well... Perhaps I set my bus team again pretty fast 😉

          1. Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            It's done now. 5-2-3 formation with Raph, Saka and ESR benched 🙂 Thx for warning 😉

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Livra vs Nor just can't be benched only because he is so cheap. 12-15 pts haul is too likely.

  2. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Can anyone tell me what OR number 4 is up to?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      4th

    2. Wheyyyy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Did it last week too, look at his auto subs

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Benchwankery is fine but buying Ings this GW... 😆

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Netflix and chill.

    4. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

  3. Tango74

    2 years, 5 months ago

    So many managers have triple Chelsea defence !!

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mendy FC will start conceding soon

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Flavour of the month. If Che and Manc both concede 2 weeks, funds are moved back to attack

    3. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It’s caused a bunch of price rises hasn’t it. Is ten games enough to decide on whether Tuchel rotation is a thing?

  4. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Easy benching question: bench one of

    A. Raphinha (have Son starting)
    B. ESR (have Ramsdale and White on the bench already)

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That is very easy

    2. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      for which GW?

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wai 13 days and ask again?

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

      No brainer.

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Easy B. Son and Raph may both brace 😉

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

  6. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I feel like I am in a situation where on should always be in fpl, from the start I mean. Team looks like benching headache and no need to take hits. Well, this is probably going to last till tomorrow 😉

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years

  7. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Soton due their now annual 9-0 defeat, could be tonight.

    1. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      isn't it often on a Friday as well?

      1. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Good omens - they love it on a Friday night under floodlights.

      2. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

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

    Heart over head.

    Started Adams, Livra and McCarthy. We’re creating the chances to batter a team by 4 or 5 goals and Villa are dreadful so fancy a big win tonight

  12. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Matty Cash now Polish like that Lewandowski fella!

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      Mateusz Kashowski

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Fair play to him.

    3. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cash has more PL goals. Make of that what you will.

  13. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you WC this?

    Guaita
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger
    Salah Jota Grealish Raphinha Mbeumo
    Jesus Antonio

    Foster Cresswell Lowton Davis

    Would mainly be used to get in a Chelsea wingback and get Spurs assets over ManCity ones.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You will need WC more later.

    ADAM ARMSTRONG MY BOY

  20. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Armstrong getting regular starts again just as I've sold him for Toney. Still feels like I've made the right move tho, atleast on paper.

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, that. Proper FPL lol

  21. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What a hit, son. What. A. Hit.

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Big goal. First at St Mary's.

    Villa will struggle to get back into this game.

  23. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Last min decision for Adam
    Armstrong vindicated

    We want 5

  24. Will Kane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Should have burnt the transfer and kept Armstrong. Stupid to make a move I didn't really want to just for the sake of using a transfer

  25. Ligdon
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Benched him of course !!

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Worse. Sold him.

      1. Will Kane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Same, but would have benched him anyway because couldn't be 100% sure he would start
