All eyes on Ings as Southampton host poor West Ham defence

The Fantasy Premier League community turns to Danny Ings (£6.4m) as Southampton host West Ham United in the final game of Saturday afternoon.

The centre-forward has scored in each of his last five matches and has amassed 12.4% ownership for Gameweek 17.

That is considerably more than any other player at St. Mary’s for the 17:30 game.

After him, the most popular asset in the match is West Ham defender Winston Reid (£3.9m) who sits in 4.5% of teams, with those managers simply looking to save money more than anything else.

The New Zealand international is absent from the matchday squad once again and is yet to register any Premier League minutes this season.

There may be some eyes on James Ward-Prowse (£5.9m) for this fixture after he registered three attacking returns in his last five outings.

His set-piece delivery could prove important today considering West Ham’s problems defending dead-ball situations this season, which earned him a place in the Gameweek 17 Scout Picks.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Cédric; Redmond, Ward-Prowse, Højbjerg, Djenepo; Ings, S Long.

West Ham United XI: Martin; Cresswell, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Fredericks; Noble, Rice; Antonio, Fornals, Snodgrass; Haller.

    TAA and Pulisic to Aurier and Son with 2 FTs?

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Those are my transfers except Alli in for Pulisic because I already have Son.

    Oh dear Palace in big trouble now. First Sakho sent off, now PVA pulled his hammy

    Erm, fpl stats showing salah as rising in price..

    1. Prison Mike

      BUY BUY BUY

      Get him in whilst he's cheap 😉

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

        Was hoping for a price drop with the blank due!

  6. Prison Mike

    So which one to ditch first... Pulisic or Mount?

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

      P

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

        Scratch that, Mount

    2. Give Me the Mane
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Puli

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

      Doubt Mount starts GW18.

    4. LE CHARO
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pulisic since he's more expensive

    5. Railwayman
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Pulisic

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

    Henderson hasn’t been given his save points yet as Grealish might be retaking the pen.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      🙂

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

    Biggest winners so far are the Salah cappers

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Really? Wasn’t aware of that? Thought it was Zouma cappers?

      Guy too my mini league did mane -> Salah and then (c) both weeks.

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

        Great foresight

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

      Had him capt.. barber talked me out of it at about 10.20 and switched for vardy.
      did capt him last week and got no gain.

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

        Such things happen. Experience says better not listen to experts

  9. antis0cial
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Early thoughts, TAA Zaha Tammy to 4.8 def maybe villa, Grealish, Kane for -4? Spurs have got some great fixtures coming up so too have Villa

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

      Prefer Son and Alli to Kane

      1. antis0cial
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        I have Son and Ali, below is current attacking lineup

        Zaha KDB Son Ali Mane
        Tammy Vardy Mous

  10. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Exact money to do KDB and Jimmy to Alli and Rashford. Should I pull the trigger?

    1. DannyD
      • 10 Years

      Yes

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]

    3. DantheManinaPan

    Pope
    Soy lund kelly .. baldock rico

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

      Personally would swap Mount. Maybe Grealish tho he’s on 4 yellows

  12. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Tammy Pulisic TAA to Salah Ings Dunk?

  13. JustPark

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

      Son

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Yes.

      1. JustPark
        • 8 Years

        Precisely!

    3. NABIL - FPL otai

    2 FTs - Pulisic and Abraham to Greilish and Rashford?

    1. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wait until after the cup games on Monday pal just in case Grealish plays and gets booked

      1. Another Hoops
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        next week* not Monday

  15. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Sorry guys, for breaking Vardy. Every time I've captained him he gets exactly 5 pts. I captained him for Watford and now Norwich. When I vice cap him he gets double-digit scores like last week and against Brighton and Newcastle.

  16. TiAgoFPL
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pulisic out
    Richarlison Martial Grealish Zaha are the options
    Any help ?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Wait and see what emerges this GW. Richarlison or Madisson at this time.

      1. TiAgoFPL
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Yes I 'm going to wait but I've Lost my pacience with Pulisic . Can't do Madison , have 3 Leicester already

  17. Jamie_GAWA
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Any help appreciated. RMWCT.

    Pope - 4.0
    Robertson - Aurier - Maguire- Lund- Soy
    Salah - KDB - Alli - Grealish - Dendoncker
    Vardy - Rashford - Pukki

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Do you have Salah ir just getting him in WC?

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

        I have him

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good- I think though I would rather Son over Alli, Guaita over Pope and Robertson to cheaper defender to pay for it.

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

        Yea, like that. Thanks

  18. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    This is set up for next week- no bench. Would you WC?

    Henderson
    Soyünücü Lundstram Rico
    Pulisic Zaha KDB Cantwell
    Abraham Vardy Rashford

    McGovern Mané TAA Diop

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

      No need to WC really but only got 1 more week to use it so you may aswell make the most of it.

      More beneficial to use gw18 than 19 imo.

      Any help for mine above would be appreciated mate

    2. DannyD
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No

  19. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Cup opponent benched Lundstram but of course he gets subbed on for Grealish...

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

      Sarcasm?

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      errr

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      What?

    4. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      This will be a nice surprise for you when you wake up on Tuesday morning 😉

  20. Tommy J
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Saw the Liverpool line up 5 minutes before deadline and swapped Sterling to Salah(c)- happy days...

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You thought Salah was getting benched?

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Probably saw he was playing striker where he scored a lot of goals start of last season

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          is any of that statement true? 😀

          1. Ask Yourself
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 4 months ago

            Why is it not?

            1. SADIO SANÉ
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 4 months ago

              I only watched the second half but he wasn't 'striker' when I was watching, no more than any other game anyway

      2. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        ‘to’ Salah

  21. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Ings hasn't had a single double-digit point all season 😮

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn’t need one

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

    Chelsea haven't looked the same since Kante came in for Kovacic/Jorginho.

    They look so much better in possession with both Kovacic and Jorginho playing.

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

      Frank needs to sack off his love child Mount and let Kovacic & Kante attack.

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      i dunno what to do about che assets, was going to get tammy, but not sure

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      You think its Kante's fault? I think teams have figured out us we are not surprise anymore. Sanco will save us

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

        I wouldn't call it Kante's fault, just that he doesn't suit a possession style of football. He's probably the best midfielder in the world for a counter-attacking style, like Leicester were, but when Chelsea have the majority of the ball his usefulness is limited.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Tammy has 3 away in next 4. Hmmm..... Considering options

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Tammy is better away from home.

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        that's incorrect. Other than his hatrick against Wolves away. His home vs away stats are even.

  24. KINGS
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone intend to let go Vardy or Maddy ahead of double tough fixtures?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison

    2. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Certainly not.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      No way

  25. zotter
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Got Salah in last week. And also have Mane

    Was always planning on selling Salah for gw18. Not so sure now?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      That shows how important captain is

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 4 months ago

        Still sell Salah?

  26. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    From 1.7 M to 500 K in 2 GWs thanks to Kane(C) last GW and Salah(C) this GW.

  27. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    My blue players doing badly but red ones smashing it. Good news for Ings and United owners, bad for KDB owners sorry everyone.

    1. Marvin Moon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      In cities which have both a red and a blue team, the red team is always more successful. Fact.

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

        Arsenal?

        1. Marvin Moon
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 4 months ago

          Erm, yes.

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

      But Kev is red...

  28. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Could easily roll this but mega temptation to do KdB to Alli. Thoughts?

    Hendo
    Lund Rico Guilbert
    KdB Son Maddison Grealish
    Vardy Rashford Ings

    Button Soy TAA Mane

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

      TAA to a cheapie

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

        Considered that but that’s two cs on the bounce. He’s earned a stay of execution. Either he or KdB is on their way probs to upgrade Hendo by 20 to Guaita.

        Think Alli more likely to make a difference in 18 than any cheapie.

  29. gryffsonofarthur
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    2 fts.

    TAA / Jiminez

    to

    Aurier / Rashford

    Good move?

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Yes imo ..

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 4 months ago

      Bad move.

      Jiménez is probably the best captain option this week.

  30. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 4 months ago

    Pukki 3 goals in the last four games.
    Might buy him for Christmas.
