Ings the most-owned FPL asset as Southampton take on Watford

The bottom two clubs in the Premier League face one another at St. Mary’s in the evening kick-off, as Southampton entertain Watford.

Kick-off on the south coast is at 17:30 GMT.

Ralph Hasenhuttl makes one enforced change to the Southampton side that drew 2-2 with Arsenal last weekend.

Moussa Djenepo is promoted to the starting XI in place of Stuart Armstrong, who is ruled out with a hamstring problem.

Sofiane Boufal makes the bench, having stubbed his toe in midweek.

Quique Sanchez Flores has made two changes to the Watford team that lost 3-0 at home to Burnley.

Left-back Adam Masina looks like he is filling in at centre-half as he replaces the injured Craig Dawson in defence, while Ismaila Sarr comes in for striker Andre Gray up top.

Roberto Pereyra has overcome a thigh strain but is only among the substitutes, as is Troy Deeney.

Not a single player on show this evening can boast a double-digit ownership.

Danny Ings is the most-owned player involved in tonight’s game, sitting in 6.5% of Fantasy Premier League squads.

Ings has scored five goals in the last seven Gameweeks, picking up nine bonus points along the way.

The Saints haven’t won since September, however.

Watford have kept clean sheets in three of the last six Gameweeks, meanwhile.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Cedric, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Redmond, Obafemi, Ings.

Watford XI: Foster, Femenia, Mariappa, Masina, Cathcart, Holebas, Doucoure, Capoue, Hughes, Deulofeu, Sarr.

    If the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland qualify what groups will they be in?

    1. diesel001

      I think Ireland and Northern Ireland play each other in the same playoff (if they make it through the semis).

      But if one of them makes it they would be with Spain, Sweden and Poland

        Oh yeah?

        I thought it was just the one game and then who ever wins that goes through but i could be wrong.

        Not the worst group then and if either make it they might have a chance of getting out of the group.

      Its or not and between them.

      Spanish group.

    3. Piggs Boson

      Spain
      Sweden

  2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    I'm trying to figure out how Kane didn't get any attacking returns earlier, bizarre!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He was defending.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      He wasnt that impressive today

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Same for Salah and Mane too actually!

    4. NABIL - FPL otai

      I watched the game he played like a CAM

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

    Hassenhuttl has to be the next manager to be fired, right?

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      It’s not like someone else would be better with that team

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Even Hughes did better

    2. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'm thinking Silva.

      1. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yea forgot about him

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

      I don't think so. It's a terrible terrible team. Really don't think he is doing that badly considering

  4. ragonian
    • 10 Years

    Ings trap confirmed

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years

      Sell now before price drop!

  5. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Can't believe I got Ings over Sarr. Every 50/50 calls goes wrong

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You bought a Southampton player? And even worse, attacker?!?

  6. Hazz

    Tammy back midweek after all the forward replacements blank?

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I held. Could have done Tammy to Jimenez but would be totally side was plus for a hit...

    4. AndyCook
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ings, Rashford and Jiménez to play yet

      • OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        big news for holders then

    5. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Soy, Martial, Maddison, Jimenez

      There's basically 0% any of those being rested isn't there?

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Highly unlikely.

        Who's on your bench?

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Cresswell ;(

    6. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Countless blanks, lucky to get 10 points and has the cheek to say this...

      More points needed!

      https://twitter.com/trentaa98/status/1200833889360601088

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        72 points from 7.2m?

        That's pretty much 200 point form.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          I want 225 😉

      2. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ah it's 62 isn't it. Still absolutely fine!

    7. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      I'll be rooting for Scotland in the play-offs. I want us to batter them at the Euros 👿

      Only 1 more Saints left manager till Christmas!

    9. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Please spare a thought for this idiot (me), who went KDB>Salah(c) for a -4, instead of leaving Son as captain. 18 point swing 🙂

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Vodka time!

      2. THFC4LIFE

        You spent too much time here probably

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

          Yeah. I've done quite alright (in relative terms of course) since I stopped over analysing and reading comments and asking questions... Had to 2FTs this round, hung out here last night and BOOM took a 4 point hit 🙁

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Yep i knew it 😉

      4. clempro
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Also lost KDB to double up on Mane/Salah... keep faith, might pay up over the next few weeks!!

    10. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Who was on free kicks and corners for Spurs?

      1. badgerboy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Looked like a bit of a free for all on corners. Saw Son taking one and Aurier taking one.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Erik must be fuming

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Only ever hits the 1st man anyway

        2. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Mmmm...yeah...They have Harry for direct free kicks but for the rest of the time I can’t see a set piece taker of much note.

      2. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/matches/1059840/#player-tabs-6

        Set piece tab - interesting leader for Spurs corners.

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years

          Mmmm....

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

        Honestly don't recall them getting a FK

      4. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Ndombele took corners. Cant remember having any free kicks.

        Would have been kane for shooting attempts.

      5. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        NDombele took 3. Son took 1.

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Corners*

            4 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah...saw above...Not really convinced either are long term set piece takers. Maybe Jose isn’t sure either yet.

        They happen every 24 hours, at 2:10 am UK time.

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Around 1:20ish am now after clocks changed.

        2. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          It is actually around 1:10/1:15 GMT not that the clocks have changed.

          1. badgerboy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Yep. Spot on.

    12. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Ralphy Rabbithutch could be another manager looking for a job, if Saints lose this.

    13. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      1. Dendonker + Abraham to Mosset + Zaha for a hit (benching headaches)
      2. Pope to Henderson for free

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        3. Abraham to Mosset

    14. Fernando Torres
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Jimenez or Pulisic?

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Puli might get a rest now

        1. Fernando Torres
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Why? Do they not want to win

      2. AndyCook
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Pulisic could have scored today but would want to see Jiménez again

      3. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Now who to sell for Zaha?

        A. Salah
        B. Maddy
        C. Martial

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Neither.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Not an option given

            You do exams?

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Why Maddy?

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Because zaha is cheap and on fire

            Vardy enough lei attack perhaps?

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              Not for their run.

      4. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        What a shocker!

        Panicked before deadline and stupidly switched Tammy > Ings for free.

        Salah captain. No Spurs or MCI.
        22pts with Ings (lol), Vardy, Jimi, Maddison, Soy and Lunds to play.

        Willems 7 points firmly first on bench

        What a rollercoaster this game is.
        Red arrow to become dark crimson tomorrow when all the Vardy cappers have their time.

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

          Ah, don't sweat it. I did Sterling, Tammy and McGinn to Son, Pulisic and Ings for -4.

          (Still have KdB and Vardy captain, so could break even... but doubt it)

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Vardy cap will be great

      5. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Any reason not to do Mount -> Son/Alli for free?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          You know the obvious ones.

        2. The 12th Man
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Non if no other issues.

          I have Tammy so might downgrade him then Mount > Alli next weekend. Avoiding United away.

      6. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Pope, Button
        TAA, Robbo, Lunds, Aurier, Rico
        KDB, Mane, Tielemans, Mount, Cantwell
        Vardy, Jimenez, Tammy

        1) Pope > Hendo
        2) Tammy > Ings
        3) Robbo, Mount > Kelly, Son/Alli (-4)
        4) Tammy, Mount > Ings, Alli (-4)

      7. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I have owned Djenepo for a few weeks. First time watching him.

        Utter mistake, he is awful.

      8. Pedersen
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Cant decide:
        1.9m ITB - 1FT

        Pope - Button
        TAA - Robertson - Soy - Lund - Rico
        Mane - KDB - Maddison - Pulisic - Mount
        Vardy - Abraham - Greenwood

        A) Greenwood -> Mousset
        B) Mount + Rico -> Alli + Reid (-4)
        C) ??

      9. Rhodes your boat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Bit boring but

        A) button to Martin (play over pope)
        B) rico to kelly (for good upcoming fixtures)

          A. Rico is 3rd bench and if you got him at 4.0 is a good keep especially since he takes corners and you store the value.

        Wow. Southampton are so poor it's hard to believe. Immediately regret bringing in Ings – he's not getting any service is he. Just had to stop watching this game
