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

    KWP and Broja in playing 11 while livra on bench... hopefully one of my players (preferably Laporte) dont play tomorrow so i am not about to cry about my 7p on bench T.T

    1. Norco
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I was going to have Livra on my bench too but the word he might be rested I went bloody Schar instead eww

      1. K4pril
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        SAME HERE!
        i heard he might be rested and have competition back from injury... so took him as a punt for 4.3 on FH and put 1st on bench

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same. Got triple city so Pep can do his worst lol.

      1. K4pril
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Laporte, Mahrez, Sterling

        Laporte has been my big doubt as i couldnt afford Cancello
        Decided to field him and now hope hes the one not playing...
        But who knows whats in Pep mind, Grealish and Jesus back so might be all 3 are off T.T

  5. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Forster and Broja… I’ll take it, just

    1. Will Kane
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Bedna and Broja for me, I'm happy enough to be honest.

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

        Bigger opportunities to come hopefully mate

  6. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Livramento to Tierney last week has only cost 22 points then. Not too bad.

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He would have been last on your bench last week though?

  7. Norco
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Yikes, I'm the only one with KWP in our 30 man league. I'll take that.

  8. Critical Observer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I have managed to bench all but one of Livramento's returns since owning him from GW3. Consistent.

  9. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    You’re not the broja I used to know

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      He's saving it for DGW28

    2. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If he starts 3 of the next 4 then he'll be lucky.

  10. Salarrivederci
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Good to go for next GW? Ronaldo + Pogba -> Jiménez + Salah (-4)

    Foster*
    TAA - Cancelo - Bednarek*
    Salah - Maddison - JWP* - Ramsey*
    Kane - Jiménez* - Adams*

    (Sanchez, Royal, Bowen, Varane)

  11. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    JWP & Broja. Hurt.

  12. Gunneryank
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Livramento you absolute effing legend.

    1. Will Kane
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah well done to Livra owners, I switched to Bednarek at the last minute for safety but I'm happy enough with a clean sheet

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Started Shaw over him :/

      Thought tbf Watford have been very toothless of late so hopefully clean sheet minimum or else Livra off the bench if benched/rested

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        *Though

      2. Gunneryank
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Not a bad plan mate. Watford don't like to score goals. I had to start him vs Norwich as I'm not on a FH....and the man is still in my side after all this time! Wishing you luck!

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Haha cheers you too!

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    -4 from 0. A good start.

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The only way is up

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Debatable.

  14. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Well done to you Romeu punters! I know you’re out there, somewhere….

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Talk to the wind? 😛

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I actually had Romeu…..4 seasons ago

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I probably had him too 4.5 fodder. Can't recall the year ...

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Back when JWP was a great super cheap fpl prospect but was never nailed

  15. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Does Livramento get an assist for the Che Adams goal?

    1. Will Kane
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No, and you should take your (our) Livramento points and run lol. Legend.

  16. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Just about ok as a non free hitter. Long week though

    1. Gunneryank
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same. We huddle behind the sofa. It's fine, as i cleaned behind it.

  17. GE
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Went Bednarek over Livramento for safety.
    I know it’s just 2 points difference, but frustrating anyway 🙂

    1. Will Kane
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I did the same, no problem with the decision I made. We obviously both felt the need for the security, if we'd gone Livra and he came on for a 1 point cameo it would have been worse

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

        Indeed, it’s like an car insurance 🙂

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Same mate although I went Bednarek over KWP bit annoyed with myself now as I said at work today he was the sexy pick!! But I went slow and steady to add Coady in my team

  18. N00B
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    GW28 wildcarders: have you already pressed the button or are you waiting for the FA Cup matches to be played?

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

      I'm probably gonna activate it now and let the tinkering begin.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Waiting thats half the point

    3. mdm
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

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

        activated

    4. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Want to take advantage of price rises etc tonight. Let’s just covid doesn’t come back…

    5. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Waiting

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

      Depends what you could afford elsewhere

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        True, it enabled Sterling so we’ll see!

        1. Gandalf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Hopefully for you he's not benched

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yup

    2. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On FH it was Kane in for Ronaldo for most

  19. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Kwp . Excellent
    Jwp Reasonable
    Broja Disappointing

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

      Yep

      Feel a bit disappointed with "only' 9 for KWP.

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Livramento got back to fitness at just the right time.

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

    Game week from hell

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

      I got 27 points including a negative captain score in GW23. This has got a long way to being the gameweek from hell

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It is when not on FH. Damage limitation take the blows

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

        This. Choices made. I hope to make points back in the doubles and blanks. Just got to suck this week up

    3. Subzero (-4)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Link your team. You spend a lot of time on here whinging. Let everyone actually see the situation

      1. Percy Johnstone
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Exactly,how can it be gameweek from hell after 1 game.

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Triple Norwich defense?

          1. Percy Johnstone
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            And 3 unused Saints players with no bench,

            1. Scapegoat Salah
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 3 months ago

              Mystery solved, well done

    4. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Indeed

    5. Subzero (-4)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Tool

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

        Lol, it’s literally a joke, obviously it can’t be game week from hell after 1 game but seeing people like you get wound up about my comment is pretty funny, you must have had a rubbish week

        1. Subzero (-4)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          No mate, going nicely, KWP 9 pointer starting me off well. You just need to stop posting dross on this forum. I know you may feel like you have to live up to your username but seriously some of your posts are childish nonsense

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

            Only some at least, have a good weekend

  22. davidfromkent
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I find it hilarious that they talk of the survival hopes of Norwich when commentating, Norwich have to be one of the most inept teams in history in the PL and have absolutely zero chance of avoiding relegation along with Watford. It is likely that Brentford will join them in my opinion.

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

      Let's go Bruno(c)(WAT)

      1. davidfromkent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Yes I also have him as captain this week.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They come & go. That’s what Norwich is all about

      1. davidfromkent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        The yoyo team

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

      I think you’re right about bottom 3 and I think it’s really sad when 3 who’ve come up go straight down.

      1. davidfromkent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This is true

  23. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Turning my attention to WC for next week how does this look?
    Starting position for wk28 indicated with *for dgw players.

    Sa*
    TAA Livra* Digne*
    Raphinha* Son Salah Ramsey*
    Dennis* Adams* Kane

    Foster Matip Cancelo Gordon

    Son, Kane, Gordon and 3 Pool players all with dgw 29.

    Wood in for Borja or Adams? Wolves double defence with Coady rather than Matip or find an extra 0.5 to get in Jiminez? Let me know what you think.

    1. Karhumies
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      FH30 or no chip 30? Southampton & Burnley have 50% not to blank on 30. That would make Broja & JWP very attractive.

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        FH30 most likely. BB is an issue wildcarding early but hoping to cover that with transfers later in the season

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

        Gone off JWP after tonight, good player but not the reliable fantasy asset you want who has shots. Prefer Raphinha or Coutinho in that spot.

        1. Karhumies
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Figured the same thing last night. Broja good value but don't fancy attacking double up. Coutinho C28 or Chelsea mid C28 good in that slot, where Chelsea mid could transfer out to Saka for 29. Or just take Raph there and C someone else for 28 and get a bit of extra budget, e.g. for Jimenez to Lacazette.

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

      Tinkering WC at present looking for plenty of 28 & 29 DGW players with the thought of BB 29, GW30 have enough with 3 transfers -4.

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Sounds good. Sadly I forgot to activate TC on Salah last week so need to 29 now. Lol

  24. Karhumies
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    On WC, looking for bench fodder that plays on BGW30. How nailed is Dewsbury-Hall (4.4) for the rest of the season? Will someone returning to fitness take his place? Leicester have 3 matches to be rescheduled, and we know what happened with Brownhill the 4.4 bench fodder on DGW26...

    1. Tinmen
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I think he look assured atm.
      What’s you wildcard atm ?

      1. Karhumies
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        WC28 - 6 DGW
        +Foster (Ramsdale)
        +Coady, +Bednarek, +Burn (TAA, Holgate)
        Salah, Son, +Coutinho, Saka (D-H)
        Kane, Lacazette, +Broja

        29 - 9 DGW
        +Ramsdale (Foster)
        +TAA, +Burn, +Holgate (Coady, Bednarek)
        +Salah, +Son, +Saka, Coutinho (Dewsbury-Hall)
        +Kane, +Lacazette, Broja

        30: Burn to Amartey
        30: 8+2? Players:

        Ramsdale (Foster)
        Coady, Holgate, [Amartey], Bednarek? (TAA)
        Coutinho, Saka, Dewsbury-Hall, (Salah, Son)
        Lacazette, Broja? (Kane)

        31: 2x FT to get 2x Chelsea in

  25. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hoping Cancelo(C) starts tomorrow otherwise I will get Broja.... not looking good.

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      What's wrong with cancelo?

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        nothing I hope, just people saying he might get rested. But I guess it is just speculation.

        1. NorCal Villan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          People say a lot of things

  26. noquarternt
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Don’t suppose anyone knows if ASM is gonna be back for the double next week or not?

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      No-one knows yet mate. Seems unlikely he'll be back for this GW though. Think we just have to wait for more news - I'm eyeing him up to replace Weghorst or maybe even Dennis though.

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

      Hoping looking at WC options

  27. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    First hit paid off... VVD -> KWP

    Let's see if I can pull off the great escape with my -12 this week

  28. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Broja was really disappointing tonight... Soton played well, dominated and created a lot but Broja seem to be always distant from that...

  29. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Tough call whether to bring in Broja or Adams next GW when not on FH , then
