Trippier could punish impatient sellers as Ings starts for Southampton

Kieran Trippier (£6.0m) could punish the 163,000+ managers who sold him for Gameweek 2 as he was handed his first start of the season against Fulham.

He remains the most popular Fantasy Premier League defender, with 22.2 percent ownership, even after missing out on Gameweek 1.

There is a full debut for Southampton’s Danny Ings (£5.5m) at Goodison Park, after he impressed in his cameo appearance at the end of Gameweek 1.

Hosts Everton went with Mason Holgate (£4.5m) at centre-back in the place of the suspended Phil Jagielka (£4.5m), while Leighton Baines (£5.5m) started at left-back once again.

Jonny Evans (£5.0m) is to make his bow in Leicester City colours today coming back from injury to replace Wes Morgan (£4.5m) in the starting line-up alongside Harry Maguire (£5.5m). Not surprisingly, Jamie Vardy (£9.0m) starts up front.

Ruben Neves (£5.1m) is Saturday’s most transferred in player with 388,000+ new owners, and he starts for Wolves at the King Power Stadium.

Bournemouth have named an unchanged XI for their trip to West Ham while Javier Hernandez (£6.5m) starts up front next to Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m).

EVERTON XI: Pickford; Baines, Holgate, Keane, Coleman; Schneiderlin, Gueye; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Walcott; Tosun

SOUTHAMPTON XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Hoedt, Stephens, Bertrand, Romeu, Lemina, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Austin, Ings

LEICESTER XI: Schmeichel; Chilwell, Maguire, Evans, Pereira; Mendy, Ndidi; Gray, Maddison, Albrighton; Vardy

WOLVES XI: Patricio; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Doherty; Jota, Jimenez, Costa

SPURS XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Eriksen, Lucas, Dele, Kane

FULHAM XI: Fabri, Fosu-Mensah, Chambers, Le Marchand, Bryan, Seri, Anguissa, Cairney, Kamara, Sessegnon, Mitrovic.

WEST HAM: Fabianski; Masuaku, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Zabaleta; Anderson, Noble, Wilshere, Snodgrass; Arnautovic, Chicharito.

BOURNEMOUTH: Begovic; Daniels, Aké, S Cook, A Smith; Fraser, Surman, Gosling, Brooks; King, Wilson

    This game can be so cruel: bought Peltier knowing I’d need him for this week...only to have a no show.:..no worries right?? Doherty first sub:(

        It’s brutal. So much luck involved...and I have none.

        1. rivercityransom

          luck comes around

      Ouch. Commiserations.

      It's rough. But karma is a bitch. You'll get your week in the sun.

    King off and never coming near that trash pick again, lol.

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      Subbed?!

      1. ToyBlader

        From my team i meant

      2. Regin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        No!

  3. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Tosun and Stephens => Kamara and Rich?

    Own Pick/Stek so have to sell someone from Eve

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      2FTs

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Why the heck would you sell Tosun?

      Dump any of your other strikers instead.

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I have 3 Everton already, as stated

    3. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I would. But don’t expect Kam to be starting every week.

  4. DeathoftheParty

    5 years, 8 months ago

    Moura!!! Is this what vindication feels like...

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not as much vindication with all the other options scoring too

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Walcott... Kill me dead

  5. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Does Austin have any goal threat at all?

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Do Southampton?

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        I had such high hopes for Soton. But this is embarrassing.

        1. Count of Monte Hristo
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 8 months ago

          No idea where the high hopes came from...

          Their squad is continually weakening and they have Mark Hughes as manager.

  6. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    That wasn't an ericksen assist. Not today, not in a lifetime.

    1. sambyy
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I agree and I'm Eriksen owner, but it wasn't Sanchez assist either in GW1 😉

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Penos are different

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Has Erik been credited?

  7. V K
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Eriksen to Maddison?

  8. boc610
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    has there been any dodgy decisions in the everton game? because hughes will need someone to blame other than himself

  9. StoichkovFPL
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    It has to be Jota > Maddison, right?

    1. Bambi
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      yep, that's my thoughts, but i may have more pressing transfers (sanchez, peltier)

      1. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        peltier is 5th def. you will meke it right at WC

    2. vartshk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Has he looked better than rich?

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Just a bit sad he scored this week because this was the only transfer I was considering.

  10. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    For how long is Son expected to be in asian games? I guess Moura pretty much nailed for that period

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not worried about Lamela?

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Lamela could also get some game time you're right. Forgot him xD

  11. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    I watched him last game and now in 1st half: Pereira is Mendy on the right!

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      🙂

    2. Penang Sandman
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      he played on the wing last game

  12. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Just saw that Chambers hoofed the ball to Lucas.
    Any chance Chambers is awarded the assist XD.
    Seriously, was hoping for the slim chances of a Fulham CS.

  13. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    King & Stephens > Kamara Maddison

    Means 3-5-2

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      I want to do the similar for Richarlison

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Let’s go for it

    A joke that some Eriksen owners are claiming an assist here. Is this your first fantasy season?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not bad, that

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      As much of an assist as Sanchez that's all

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

        Peno

  15. Regin
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    i am absoultely gutted to not have richarlison. I really wanted him from gw1, but there is no space to accomodate him. The only way i can get him in is if i remove b silva which right now i dont want to. Or i have to remove ddg & put 2 4.5 Gk to rotate. That will cost me -4 next week. Let's see if DDG will keep a CS this week.

  16. Halftime
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 8 months ago

    Is former fantasy favorite Siggy no longer a good option? Have him in my draft team.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

      Not with Richarlison being 0.9m cheaper.

    2. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Hasn’t been for 2 seasons

    • 7 Years

    Bloody glad I started with richarlison over Sigurdsson this season.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 8 months ago

            • 6 Years
            5 years, 8 months ago

            Ah, ok. Subbed him for Richarlison this week - but that -2 for Doherty coming in for Peltier weights up that luck.

      2. Wild Rover
