Southampton v Man Utd team news: Ronaldo and Casemiro subs

Gameweek 4 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with the clash between Southampton and Manchester United.

Kick-off at St Mary’s is at 12:30 BST.

These are two teams who largely struggled in the opening two Gameweeks before getting their first wins of the season last weekend.

Partly as a result of those victories, there is only one change to the starting XIs across the two sides.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has made it and it’s a predictable one, with Che Adams – scorer of four goals in league and cup over the last week – in for Sekou Mara.

Erik ten Hag’s decision to go with an unchanged line-up means that it’s another benching for Cristiano Ronaldo, with the United boss again opting for a front three of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga.

Anthony Martial, as reported yesterday, misses out due to injury, while new signing Casemiro is on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: Bazunu, Djenepo, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Lavia, Ward-Prowse, A Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Aribo, Adams.

Subs: McCarthy, Lyanco, Bednarek, Valery, Romeu, S Armstrong, Diallo, Perraud, Mara.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Malacia, Martinez, Varane, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen, Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga, Rashford.

Subs: Heaton, Maguire, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Casemiro, Van de Beek, Ronaldo, Garnacho.

    Maybe Salah C was mistake if they couldn't beat this trash

      Mo scored points GW3.

      It is not about which team wins, it is about your assets returning whether their team loses or not.

    United picks look poor again, they wont play Liverpool everyweek

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      can't make the final pass.

      Not able to watch it. So is it the old United that’s playing today then?

  3. Jafooli

    The Hag should bring on Rashford...

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      doesn't do much played as a striker apart from score if he gets a chance

  4. Random Name

    atrocious miss

  5. The Knights Template

    Bella Ketchup superior to Heinz Ketchup

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

              I generously reinterpreted it 🙂

    Unable to watch the matches, are Southampton the better team?

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      At the moment definitely but United had some big chances earlier.

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      50/50 IMO

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      It's a typical back and forth midtable clash so far.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        😀

  9. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Salah remains FPL King.

  10. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Sancho Rashford Elanga is such a crappy front 3.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Really, really, really missing Martial!

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Wouldn't go that far.

        Missing players like Benzema, Salah, Mane, Vinicius Jr, Mbappe. Quality.

    2. jammie26
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Can't argue with this.

    3. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Been working ok with Martial. Strange they seem to only be doing well when he’s in the squad this season.

    4. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Sancho is pretty good IMO

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        good for Championship level

  11. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    United used up all their intensity for the year against Liverpool it seems

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      United attackers always look good when they have space to run into. Sit deep and they're clueless.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        And Ten Hag knew that. Its why Frenkie was his number 1 target.

  12. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Bring on Ronnie & Maguire for the lolz....

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Ten Gag and Ronaldo will be holding hands when he is subbed on.

  14. FantasyTony
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    United on the beach having beaten Liverpool in the relegation 6 pointer

  15. Random Name
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    no premier league centre back should ever be beaten by a pass like that

  16. Who let Udogie out?
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 9 months ago

    New week, same old United. Maybe they should have protests before every match.

  17. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    That ball along the ground went over Martinez head....

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      LOL

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      is he taller than SWP?

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      lol!

  18. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Wasted FT on Rashford. Should've just got Harrison for future fixtures

    1. FantasyTony
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Same

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Why not Rodrigo?

    3. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years

      Still time mate.

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Double Leicester GKs and Rashford. May as well wildcard.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      the double Leicester keepers was the perfect trap because almost everyone did it to squeeze an extra 0.5 into the squad.

      leaving nowhere to go.

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years

    Ole MK2 at the wheel

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Thought you were not watching?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I am listening to a watchalong on youtobe.

        My eyes are to busy elswhere. My ears are open though.

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          we are not playing great but we are nothing like Ole's set up - you're listening to other people's bias - can't pass judgment unless you see it with your own eyes

          1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            he's clueless

          2. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            I am listening to a UTD youtuber saying Ronaldo and Cas need to come on hahahahaha

            And saying Rashford is in the graveyard shift LOL

            1. Mambino
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              1 year, 9 months ago

              exactly - you're listening to someone else's opinion so you can't have your own can you

              1. FOO FIGHTER
                • 4 Years
                1 year, 9 months ago

                UTD supporters

                Always blame anyone but themselves.

                1. Mambino
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 10 Years
                  1 year, 9 months ago

                  not blaming anyone for anything just pointing out that you're a bit of a joker making comments about a game you're not even watching

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Ten Hag bent Klopp over a table last week.

      It's just a lack of quality. Quality attacking players needed.

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        this

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Why is Saliba in the scout picks? But but Mitro's xg

  21. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    this Lavia kid is good..

    1. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      They’re all really good at shielding the ball

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Eriksen and McTominay are too slow.

    3. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Anderlecht's academy have been producing superb players for years.

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Man City will definitely want him back someday.

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Problem for Southampton is he'll Lavia but he'll leave ya

    5. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Bella kotchap, putting rashford and sancho in his back pocket

    6. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I'm not sure playing Eriksen and Bruno together helps United.

      1. Puntillimon
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Time to bring on Casemiro, cr7

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Casemiro in double pivot and Eriksen in hole will help

          1. Mambino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            yep

        2. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          I feel Eriksen should be given a free role like KDB and Fred and Casemiro should play the double pivot. Bruno bench.

      2. tokara
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Bruno is shitez after giving him new contract

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          What position is he playing in?

      3. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Don't think that's the problem. Very different roles.

        Eriksen is controlling the play from deep, progressing the ball. That kind of player is needed.

        The front 3 just can't do much in tight areas. Saints defending deeper than Pool.

      4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Casemiro and Fred plus one of Bruno or Eriksen should be best, probably Bruno since he can do the work of an 8 so Fred can be left to actually play as a CM finally

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Yes

    7. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      early kick off = low key!

      1. FantasyTony
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Really gives off that brunch vibe

    8. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      can't believe I got him Rashford again...

      2. Old Man

        It's tiring work - this Premier League football lark.

    10. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      This is hard watching as a saints fan. Should probably be 1-0 up but overall pretty even.

      Got to be putting the easier home games away if we want to avoid a relegation dog fight. Especially with the promoted teams looking good this year

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Agree pretty even but should probably be 1-1 not 1-0

      2. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Should probably be 1-1

    11. tokara

      Sancho for 90m is a joke

      Not even half of what Maximin can do

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yeah shouldn't play 90m let alone start

      2. fantasyfog
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Well yeah maximum 100 mil Sancho half of maximum 50 mil?

      3. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        They'll have Antony for 95m soon.

    12. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I only saw 25 mins of utd vs pool last week.
      But I'm beginning to think that it wasn't that Utd were good, it's maybe that Liverpool really are that bad.

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Glazers out!

      2. g40steve

        Double defender owners in the mud already

      3. Rainer

    13. Where dahoud at
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      What is going on? United like a different team, thank god I didn't go with rashford Fernandes been awful, why's he taken the free kick, erikson lookd are best player in that half, he shuda took the free kick

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Bruno need a goal more than Erik to gain some confidence

        1. Where dahoud at
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          I get that, I do, but united need a goal and Erikson been are best player this game he was well up for it,

        2. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          United need a goal to gain a win tho

      2. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        It's easy to up for a big game after being humiliated the week before. Now they are back to planet Earth

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Different team from when?

        Don't judge off vs Liverpool, that's an anomaly game...

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          True. Liverpool are relegation candidates. Can't compare.

      4. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        raised their game against Liverpool.

        ran loads.
