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

    First bench: how predictable.

    Adam Armstrong owner 🙂

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years

      Only the successful ones can afford the odd luxuries 😉

      Well done, just reward for being brave enough to play him over Livra. I tend to go for security of starts over upside and it's gone against me here. I actually sold Armstrong for Broja just to save a bit of money and avoid burning a transfer

  3. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Can’t belive I have benched Livra 🙁

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He didn't get anything??

    2. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He's not a bench player any more. I'm on 5 at the back this week just to fit him in lol

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

      A villa goal will be huge

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

    I love how every time Villa get a corner or free their new “set piece coach” is mentioned

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

    Feck you Ralph. Needed this weeks ago!

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

      Needs to get sacked asap 😉

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

    Had to keep the faith, especially with Norwich next. Yes Armstrong

  7. ZimZalabim
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    any assist ?

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No.

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

      Own Assist, almost like OG

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

      No.

      JWP lofted through ball, think it hit Cash then Armstrongs hit was on the money!

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

    When is Avl going to score?

  9. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Brought in Armstrong on gw8 wc, lost patience with him last week. Troll king.

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Me too....I may get him back for gw12!!

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

      You're not alone

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why selling him for this fixture though ?

      1. Volley127
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        To be fair with Broja back there was a doubt over whether he’d start

  10. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    First week in my 8-year FPL history that I am willingly playing a back 5:

    Sanchez
    TAA - Cancelo - Chilwell - Rüdiger - Livramento
    Salah - Raphinha - Saka
    Ronaldo - Vardy

    (Steele - Gray - McArthur - Scarlett)

    All hail lord Livramento.

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

      It's really that kind of a season.

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Lot patience with jota and Armstrong and both have punished me

    Next season, more patience

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

      Same

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Why not this season?

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

      Annoying thing for me is I hadn't lost patience - only really sold him because it felt weird to burn a transfer. So my lesson is that it's ok to burn a transfer when I'm happy with my team!

      1. Fish up a tree
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Who did you bring in for him & was he only going to be on your bench anyhow?

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Toney, no I would have played him but not if broja was fit which he was, no worries eh

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

          I brought in Broja and Armstrong would have been on my bench purely because with the rest of my mids/forwards being pretty much certain starters I didn't think I could risk playing him. In theory my thinking was that Armstrong and Broja long term would get similar game time and I could get a bit of extra cash in the bank

      2. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        You were hardly happy when Armstrong was benched for Broja?

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

          Well no, not at the time, but after last week I thought Armstrong looked good and I think that maybe Che Adams and Broja are kind of similar so maybe they won't play as a pair. It's just not a transfer I'd have made if I didn't feel like I 'had' to

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Fair enough, but he looked like he was dropped and still may have been, had it not been for the Broja injury. It was a good move. Let's see what Toney can produce

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I hate patience in this quick volatile game 🙂

    5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      As a Kane owner I disagree

    6. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I have owned Raphinha for 5 games this season. 0 goals. That's impressive, right?

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

    My man Hasenhüttl is looking dapper this evening.

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years

      The low fade is tight

  13. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Think i'm gonna hit the WC tonight what with so many likey price changes and with the ITB to think things over. Currently thinking triple Pool & triple Spurs to optimise the fixtures and to step away from the current template a bit. Thoughts on this lot? Thanks :

    Sanchez
    TAA / Cancelo / Chilwell / Reguilon
    Salah / Son / Jota / Gallagher
    Kane / Toney

    Foster, Livramento, Brownhill, Davies

    0ITB

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would want Antonio as somehow.

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Would want antonio somehow*

      2. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Lol, I've had him since the start of the season and honestly believe it's time to ditch now what with the fixtures? I see better value elsewhere. LIverpool, Wolves, Man City, Brighton, Chelsea...can't see him doing too well next 5 or so tbh? 5 of the best defences in the league?

        1. Krafty Werks
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          *obvs Pool this GW but then Burnley, Arsenal after too.

    2. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      3 too many Spurs

  14. Flair
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Armstrong owners deserve that for their patience, all five of them.

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

      Could've been six if I didn't sell him last week. Sigh.

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Brought him in 2 gws ago happy to own him as 1 of the 6

  15. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Benched Mount for Armstrong. And I'm feeling...goooooood

  16. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Elyounoussi Looks like Lamela’s long lost brother

  17. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What on earth has happened to Martinez?

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

      Playing behind a dysfunctional team. Could happen to anyone

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

      Got ridiculously lucky at some stages last season.

      Sky said his save % is down 10% this season...

    3. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      IMO its The JT effect. He left

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

        Yip. Had that defence ticking nicely. Losing Grealish who could get them on the front foot more often hasn't helped either.

  18. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    My transfers lately

    Jota to Mbuemo
    Raphinha to Foden
    Armstrong to Toney

    F--- this game

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Armstrong to toney was the only one that really made sense

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

        Selling Jota made sense before Wednesday night.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What’s wrong with Toney?

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

        Hasn't played yet

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Oh sorry just realised Armstrong has scored

    3. TyroneGAA
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Easily made those decisions

    4. Fish up a tree
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mbeumo & Toney could feast tomorrow so chill a bit

    5. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      This is on you. Didn't need to make those transfers.

  19. 420king
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    AA was a decent purchase on my WC after all: 6,1,5,5+

  20. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Time to target Villa 🙂

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

      So you're saying I should get Maupay...

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

    Would i be called immature if I sell Toney next week if he can't score against Norwich? No disrespect, but Norwich are Derby 2007/08 territory this season.

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

      Newcastle aren't much better.

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

        Defensively.

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

        Howe can you say that?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I agree with you, but I reckon he’ll light Norwich up

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hold for the next couple

    4. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, very childish

  22. A Fat Spanish Waiter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Villa have no pace. Shocking how bad they are on both ends of the pitch.

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Villa still in with chance..

  23. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    El red

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ghazi walking a fine line should be another yellow

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

    El Ghazi should be off.

  25. KGJ United
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Long time member and fpl player (lurker by nature).
    I have a question.
    When you say: "I set up my bus team", what does the "bus" word mean?
    I know what it "means" (setting your temporary, not final team), but what does the word bus mean? Is it an acronym for something?

    Asking for a friend 😉

    Thanks

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think it’s if you get hit by a bus this is your team

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It means setup early in case you get run over by a bus

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Set team up for next week in case you forget the deadline

    4. A Fat Spanish Waiter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If you get hit by a “bus” and cant set your team. Seriously.

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

      Setting your team up in case you get hit by a bus pre-deadline.

      So most of it will be in place.

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

        Your team in place, you mightn't be after such an incident.

    6. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      in case you get run over by a bus

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

      Good question. Allegedly the team you pick early in the week in case you're hit by a bus.

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

      If a bus, through tremendous bad luck, hit you, this is the team that goes out that weekend. Or sth similar the twitter cool guys told me.

    9. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bus hits you

    10. KGJ United
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hahaha
      Cheers all 🙂

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

      Didn’t know this either. Surely if a bus hits us we’ve got bigger problems?

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Is there an argument that we should be making early transfers in case we’re hit by buses too?

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

        Definitely. Especially if you wanted to catch the bus before it caught you.

  26. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who’s paying for the pizzas 🙂

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

      Jesse Pinkman

  27. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I am considering Son(c) against Leeds

    I fell terribly from 30k to 1.2M

    I need a huge differential to climb back

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

      You need to stop taking so many hits first.

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

      Strong disagree with that last line there. It's still early days. Don't make the situation worse.

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah good advice

        Probably a punt here or there but mostly playig it safe, Like captaining Salah every week.

        But I can see Leeds conceding more than Arsenal, though

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That's a large fall. Over what period?

      1. Boomerang V
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Last 5 Gws

        I took many hits, got Kdb in and captain him in the last 2 games, got 4 points total 🙁

        1. Pep bites Kun
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Ooh rough! It's a long season though. Aim for a steady climb, less hits; more forward planning, rather than the 'huge' differential'.

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed, fell from 800k to 1.8m OR the week I didn’t caprain a Salah, have had to take hits to steady the ship but at that rank I can, inwards & upwards 🙂

  28. tangtastic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone here not captain Salah this gw?

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Aubamayang here.

    2. lordkippe
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      yeah. Bought a ticket for the Aubameyang lottery

    3. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, gambling with Chillwell
      Pools playing away at 4th in the league...surely can't be another Man United shocker

  29. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So who’s going to be the new Villa manager?

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

      Paulo Fonseca.

    2. lordkippe
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      nuno

  30. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Gw9 a killer for you
