Gameweek 27 gets underway this evening as Southampton play host to Norwich City at St Mary’s Stadium.

Kick-off is at 20:00 GMT.

Ralph Hasenhuttl sticks with the same starting XI that beat Everton 2-0 in Gameweek 26.

That means Tino Livramento gets another start at full-back, with Romain Perraud – who missed that match after testing positive for Covid-19 – named as a substitute.

Further forward, Armando Broja is paired with Che Adams up front, with Stuart Armstrong and Mohamed Elyounoussi deployed in behind in Hasenhuttl’s 4-2-2-2 formation.

Alex McCarthy (hamstring), Lyanco (hamstring) and Nathan Tella (groin) remain out.

Opponents Norwich are also unchanged, with Josh Sargent and Milot Rashica flanking Teemu Pukki in Dean Smith’s 4-3-3 system.

Goalkeeper Tim Krul, meanwhile, has recovered from a shoulder injury and is named on the bench, which means Adam Idah (ankle/knee) and Andrew Omobamidele (back) are the only injured players, and will remain out for some time.


GAMEWEEK 27 LINE-UPS

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

Subs: Lewis, Stephens, Long, A Armstrong, Perraud, Djenepo, Diallo, Walcott, Valery

Norwich City XI: Gunn, Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Williams, Normann, Gilmour, McLean, Sargent, Rashica, Pukki

Subs: Krul, Byram, Zimmermann, Rupp, Dowell, Placheta, Lees-Melou, Giannoulis, Rowe

    Dunk Dennis Weghurst

    Next week is difficult - I have no one to sell to bring in DGWers.

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Robertson, Cancelo, Laporte, Ait Nouri²
    Salah, Mahrez, Son
    Dennis², Broja²
    (Foster², Gallagher, Bowen, JRod)

    1. Salan
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would sell Laporte, Mahrez, Bowen.....

      So many options.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sell City assets before a derby while they are fighting for the title and the opponent is crippled? Nah, that would be foolish.

        Bowen, I think is a good sale but then there's no place for the replacement on the pitch.

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think it will be the same for many teams. A few DGWers should be fine I reckon

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Laporte, Mahrez, Bowen can all go.

      If you're replacing them with double gameweek assets it'll be worth.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        See above. Do you think its a good move to sell City assets before a derby, especially since Man United has been poor lately and Liverpool is closing up the point gap and leading the goal difference?

    Weghorst 150% EO
    Broja 90% EO

  4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON

    Didn't use my FH. Still at 76% template. Not that ugly!

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      48% here. Bum is chewing my seat

    2. james 101

      Same. 2 left.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Huge advantage I think. I have 2 too. Might not need it in 30 too if West Ham beat Southampton in the FA game.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Template rating of 77% and no FH. Interesting

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not bad

  5. Ask Yourself

    Can’t believe I’ll be hiding behind the sofa from Burnley defenders this week

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years

      I captained Pope lmao

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 9 Years

        Sad thing is that’s probably genius

        1. have you seen cyan

      1. NorCal Villan

        I seriously need that to happen, guy chasing me in ML has Pope & Mee.

  6. Rainer

    Bowen at ~50% EO.

    Huge player for determining this GW for many!

      Would love a parting gift

    2. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My entire GW depends on how City perform. Both my ML rivals are heavy on City. One has captained Mahrez. The other KDB.

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For me, I am banking on my Manchester City assets. Going all in with Mahrez (C), Cancelo and Laporte.

    4. Miniboss

      Time for last brace before Coutinho comes in

            Nearly every post is a brag or rank mention 😆

        Why jealous, you two? 😛

  12. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it just me, or does this Weghorst hype stir some ptsd from that time when everyone captained Dennis…?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Dennis' nightmare is repeated then the game is rigged 😛

    2. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Difference is, Dennis had the underlying numbers to justify the armband. Weghorst doesn't.

      So, Weghorst will succeed. 😉

      1. Miniboss
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I see the logic here, and in fpl it makes perfect sense.

      2. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Well, King was the xG man, not Dennis.

  13. Boberella

    I didn’t hear any news on Guaita and he is no longer flagged. Is he ok?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years

      Toothache

  14. pundit of punts

    FH ACTIVATED

    Sa
    TAA - Saiss - Coady
    Salah - Coutinho - Raphinha - JWP
    Ings - Broja - ASM

    Ramsdale - Mane - Digne - Alonso

    Gotta spend the money somewhere. Put it on my bench. 😀

    9 DGWers + Salah + TAA

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. Mata of opinion
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm doing the same thing but going all in! Got sarr+cash instead of TAA and salah. Have about 12 million itb

    2. the axolotl
      • 14 Years

      such a douche

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Don’t describe yourself like this here

        1. the axolotl
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          a tiny bit of class and humility might go a long way. seems alien to you

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Posting FH teams screams lack of class and humility to you?

            You need help

      2. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Calling someone here douche isn’t quite classy though, let’s face it

  15. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I took a hit and still didn't get a single Burnley player in. Lord have mercy on me

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same here!

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Should be fine!

      Who did you go for instead?

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I am banking on the opposite. All template FH teams brought 3 Burnley players including captains. I am expecting them to score a combined 12 points, and I believe I will get a major rank boost simply by not having any of them and a goal from my captain.

      (disclaimer, I have JRod of all Burnley players, if it counts).

    4. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A guy in my ML did FH and didn’t bring in any Burnley players! I have no idea why

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        because they are burnley players?

        1. Boberella
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe he did it by accident. He’s got Dennis and Ronaldo up top.

  16. Shark Team
    • 8 Years

    I think Norwich fans should be happy
    Watching 1 season of good football and 1 season of PL football and repeat

    3. Gunneryank

      No! 🙂

  18. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve not watched any SOU or BUR games, but from the articles and analysis and comments, I feel like Broja and Weggy play similar roles? Almost typical #9s? Which, like Firmino, is great for their team and great football - but hampers FPL prospects?

    Ooooor chatting rubbish?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Weggy is definitely more of a goal scorer than provider

  19. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Terrible defending by Bednarek

  20. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1 from 1 any good?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Matching the average per player

    2. BECKS TO THE FUTURE

    Anyone considering the Wildcard tonight?

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No way, just realised I’ve overloaded with good players. Perils of Liv and Ars players coming off the bench

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yea actually to get some players before price rises

    3. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Keep a FH back for g/w 30 F A Cup Quarter Finals

    4. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I you're planning on a GW28 wildcard then it doesn't really matter when you do it. Tonight is as good a time as any. Especially if a few players you want are set for a price rise.

    Why do I keep seeing stuff about GW30 being a dead duck?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Chance it's only Wolves/Leeds, Villa/Arsenal & Leicester/Brentford.

      Most likely 4th game would be Burnley vs Southampton, but that should be it.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years

        Ah okay thanks, cup games I guess
