Southampton v Brentford team news: Mbeumo returns, Broja leads line

Double Gameweek 21 continues at St Mary’s Stadium this evening, with Southampton hosting Brentford at 19:45 GMT.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes five changes from Gameweek 20, in a system that could be a 3-4-3 or 4-2-2-2, with centre-backs Lyanco, Jan Bednarek and Mohammed Salisu all named in the starting XI.

Further forward, Armando Broja – owned by 6.5% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers – leads the line, with Nathan Redmond and Nathan Tella the other attacking options to feature.

Che Adams returns as a substitute following a positive Covid test, though the Saints are without the likes of Moussa Djenepo, Tino Livramento, Alex McCarthy, Yan Valery and Kyle Walker-Peters

“This season it’s been a much better performance at home. We are stronger here and want to keep that going. We need every point and to get something against every team is tough for us, but we are prepared for it. Although we have a few injured, suspended or with Covid, we still have a strong side and will do everything for a win” – Ralph Hasenhuttl on tonight’s match

As for Brentford, they make four changes from their 2-1 win over Aston Villa, with Kristoffer Ajer, Vitaly Janelt, Shandon Baptiste and Bryan Mbeumo replacing Mads Bech Sorensen, Mathias Jensen, Frank Onyeka and Yoane Wissa.

    I HATE FERNANDEZ!

    No way I'm playing this idiot next week, he will lose his spot anyway. Playing Martinez over this useless idiot.

      Come on, tell us how you really feel about him?

      I brought him in for a hit this week. Feeling a little hard done by, would have been perfectly happy with 5 points

    Broja down. Looks bad

      Watching the game tonight I'm inclined to agree!

    Is Toney actually a bit rubbish?

    1. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years

        1. Hooky
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah he's not looked good since then.

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He looked quite good at the beginning of the season - ticked over nicely. He seems to have regressed ..... cue a goal.

    Thinking of opting for a couple of long hold set and forget options with my next few transfers… those postponed games have to be played at some point….

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Jay Rodriguez?

      1. Marty McFly
        • 11 Years

        Hahaha

    2. Revival

      Spurs and Leicester players are good holds, would avoid any Burnley players

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

        Depends if Leicester want to play or not this GW..

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

      Wish we could actually plan in FPL again, think you just have to attack each GW individually atm as who knows what tomorrow will bring with testing...

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Couldn't agree with this more

  6. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years

    Toney YC

  7. Yordan Letchkov
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Diego Costa is a free agent. Would love to see him play in the PL again. 🙂

    1. OLD Rafiki
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      this

    2. sandman58
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Burnley will do him with Wood gone

  8. schlupptheweek
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I punted on a WC and got Fernandez and have DCL (C) and Gray. It's so bad it's funny!

  9. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Toney on course for a 2 pointer in a DGW. Was being overated by FFS at the beginning of the season.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thanks mate, can you let me know tonight’s lottery numbers in the morning as well?

    2. rokonto
      • 8 Years

      Innit

  10. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Got DCL, Gray, Keane, Jansson and Toney in FH - probably most worst decision ever in FPL..

    1. EL tridente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      My*

  11. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    DCL, Toney, Jansson (idk why…) this FH gets better and better ffs

  12. Drumandbaines123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Toney if you don't return in the next 45 I am rage transferring you out. Total penalty merchant, no idea why I still have you in my team.

    1. Fintroy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He's a total waste of space - unless you want 1 or 2 points per game

      1. AARON-1
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Ivan Phoney struggling to have any impact on the game yet again.

  13. nico05

    Slipping down my mates league any suggestions welcome and much appreciated! 1 FT & 1 transfer
    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Dalot Dawson
    Bowen KDB Jota
    Laca Kane Antonio
    Foster-Ramsey-Livra-Bissouma
    Thanks guys

  14. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Son to Maddison and maybe Ramsdale to Sa for 4ph? (Sa better option that DDG?) Or anything else? 1ft 1.3ib

    Ramsdale -- Cancelo - Dalot - TAA
    Son - Mount - Bilva - Bowen - Jota
    Dennis - Antonio - Ronaldo
    Gunnarson - Son - White - Diop

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Id go with DDG over SA myself. Dalot is great value (I have him) but he's a less secure starter than I would like. Son - Maddison definitely a great move but id hold ramsdale rather than take a hit tbh

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks Nico. Will take your advice.

  15. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Wyd here if this is your shambles of a team? Salah Watkins to Moura Ronaldo(-4), anything else? 1FT 0 ITB…

    Foster* (Ramsdale)
    TAA* Cancelo Reguilon (James** Livramento*)
    Salah** Foden* Jota Gallagher (ESR*)
    Dennis* DCL Watkins*

    Can’t use FH

    1. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      WC

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I don't think your team looks so bad. What you suggested looks good. A different suggestion wuld maybe be Salah-Maddison & Watkins to Ronaldo? ESR more long term is an issue that may need addressing as I don't see him constantly being able to haul points from the bench as he has been doing.

    3. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm in a similar state but I am going to keep Salah. Only going to have to get him back in a couple of weeks. Also Watkins for me is a keep. Villa playing well and going to get better with nice fixtures.
      Could easily beat United at the weekend.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        To be fair watkins is good value just Ronaldo could haul big next GW with 2 fixtures

    4. SINGH
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Teams looks OK but why take out Watkins? Shift Gallagher or ESR instead

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        To get Ronaldo

  16. Devos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you pick on FH?

    a) TAA + Lukaku
    b) Robertson + Ronaldo

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      Don't risk with Kaku yet. He hasnt been on form.

  17. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Did Broja go off injured?

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

      No, sore ankle before the break but came back on.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think he's still on.

  18. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Got Fernandez on my WC.

    Jeez I am doomed

  19. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Brojaaaaaaaaaa GOAL

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes! p.s. This is the quietest I've seen this place on a matchday!

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed.

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Very quiet! Luckily he makes up for my 6 Alonso points on bench

      3. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Everyone lost interest! Totally dead on here recently

  20. FOMFF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this -4 DGW team:

    Sanchez,
    Rudiger, Cancelo, TAA/Dawson
    Maddison, Jota, Bowen, Bilva
    Antonio, Watkins, Dennis

    Bench: TAA/Dawson, Salah, Livra, Button

  21. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    I thought Brentford were good defensively?

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Not any more. Liverpool away next too!

      1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Not anymore since I got their defense lol

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

    That defending 😮

  23. LE CHARO
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Brojaaaaaa !
    That pass from Salisu to Romeu to launch the attack was absolutely brilliant

  24. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Crap.

  25. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    That should be red for Toney. Wow the ref is a wuss

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

    Lucky Toney

  27. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Broja first on my bench, annoying

    1. Kodap
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Knew I should have played him over dennis

  28. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    The FH wasn’t the best move now 🙂 Broja rubbing it in now

  29. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Wrong post lol

    Which UTD mid is tempting for you? It is easer for me to get their mid than Ronaldo (have to get rid Antonio or Dennis in that case).

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      None, really… Bruno if any

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

      Would go Bruno, nice Salah placeholder too.

    3. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Fred

    4. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Fernandes but Id probably look elsewhere

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Penandes presumably back on pens if Ronaldo is out

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Ronaldo out? Why?

  30. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Will LEI even play both their games in DGW22 at this point?
