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

    Adams is so gash. Literally misses two sitters and scores after the ball rebounds into his lap 1cm from goal.

    No assist. That is correct.

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No it's not. I haven't seen it but I am sure it is an assist

    Can we cancel FH?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Only if you're 2k rank or worse.

    Adams well worth the extra premium. TV essential

  5. keefy59

    Adams now with 3 goals & an assist in his last 4 games inclueding this one

      Twice as many points as Broja over the last four games

    Remember when Broja was essential?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Another Shane Long goal off the bench tonight and it's curtains for Broja.

    3. keefy59

      Antonio & Dennis were essential once !

      Yeah he is, poundland Cancelo lol

      too deep for me
      theres always pens though

      1. Free Hat

        I think you misread for JWP ;p

  9. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Broja lol

  10. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Still surprised so many on FH wanted Broja over Adams. I have Broja and have for weeks but Adams is the one in form right now (even if a lucky goal) so I expected on a one week punt most would have gone with him

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Money I'd imagine

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      But MotD say Broja is good player

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The price difference would have affected peoples FH pick

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I get that but moreso if it's a longterm pick, if on FH though surely the most in-form option is worth the higher price point?

    Broja close to knocking a light out.

    Broja has been poor

  14. how now brown cow

    Thanks all experts on youtube pick Broja

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's not even half time yet

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        It is now! Broja is fine for me. Good player with a stack of good games coming up (including second half of this game)

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      As others have said, it’s not just todays game but the next 5 or 6 including next weeks double so don’t be too hard just yet.

    3. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      You don’t have to do what they say haha

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Pick was longer term than just tonight ( which we are only half way through) but took account of great double next week, Watford 29 and good chance of Burnley fixture in 30.

    Who plays GW30 & any news on Chelsea additional match?

    1. Magic Zico

      ARS AVL LEE LEI BRE WOL for sure ... the rest not known yet

      1. g40steve

        Cheers tinkering with WC

  20. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    HT Tinkering... Planning to sell a GK & Bowen for Sa & Coutinho, then FH29

    But how to line the team up in GW28?

    SA
    DIGNE, SAISS(v), COADY
    JWP, (C)OUTINHO, RAMSEY, Son, Saka
    DENNIS, KING

    Sanchez/Pope | Tierney, Cancelo, Weghorst

    1. Boberella
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That looks about right. I’ll be getting Sa and benching Tierney and Bowen.
      Benching Cancelo always looks scary but other options probably better.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        It's gone wrong for me before, and it will probably go wrong again this season 😀

        1. Boberella
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Coutinho Cap is a brave but good shout (he’s been inconsistent and Villa not looking too sharp last few games). I’m considering it though. Him or JWP.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Looking good. What's your plan for blank GW30?

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Looks like I could have 9 players without hits, and 10+ million to use on hits if they are worth it. Consider using a hit or two to delay a WC to GW 31/2/3

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Actually I'll have 10 after a GW30 FT (for Lacazette possibly)

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No Newcastle

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You haven't have them all

        1. Deulofail
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          can't

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            True

  21. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Hold broja!

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    0.1 off bruno straight back to mo and only 3 dgw players next week

    Looks like a few hits may be required

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      What dgw players do you want?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Don’t even know, a saints and wolves defender I guess? Hardly the most amazing line up is it

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I'd rather focus on the week after. Better teams with a dgw. Actually considering saving my ft.

  23. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Let's go Broja and JWP! Do something!

  24. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    At the pub on mobile so can’t skim through replies can someone explain why that’s not an assist as the touch from opposition didn’t “significantly alter the intended target destination”

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Two defensive touches.

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If that was a shot by Livra it could have been an assist as Gunn would have saved it.

      Since it was a cross and ball changed direction significantly it's not an assist.

  25. Drumandbaines123
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Very satisfying first half as a non-Soton owner. Just need a Norwich goal second half to round the evening off nicely.

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Priceless

  26. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Its going to be really tough to not BB next week. Keen to hold until DGW36 but I have no idea who to bench.

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A good time to do it then!

      1. TomSaints
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Plus 36 is a bit of a minefield anyway as form goes out the window late in the season

  27. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pre season I had this circled as a relegation 6 pointer.

    Very pleasantly surprised with how this season has gone. Still a bit of a chip on my shoulder that Ings went to Villa. But finishing ahead of them would be a nice tonic

  28. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    .1 short of Bowen and Antonio to Coutinho and Jiminez

  29. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Planning to BB in 28 but planning a few hits to enable it. Thoughts?

    Eduoard, Bruno, Bowen, Gray + Cancelo to Adams/Broja, Raph, Ward Prowse, Coutinho + Semedo/Saiss -16pts?

    Giving me

    Ramsdale
    SAISS DIGNE LIVRA Tierney Trent
    RAPH JWP COUTINHO Salah Saka
    DENNIS BROJA WATKINS

  30. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How many dead teams in FPL?

    Salah still most Cap player!
