All eyes on Ings as Southampton host poor West Ham defence

865 Comments

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.

      always been a weakness for him. 2 seasons ago he got a lot of games up front and kept missing sitters?

        You still hold him? Suspect I’m ahead of you - got rid for a hit this week.

        Grealish is where I went - benched this week - for 18/9 anyway.

            Tricky then.

            JWP? Or do you have Ings too? Rich? Think that would be my punt

              No JWP has tough fixtures coming up ... Rich is an option but needs hit which I would not take for GW18. So yes, bench Pulisic for another week ... or play him and he may surprise with farewell points 😀

                Ings is on my chopping block I think - done brilliantly for me for last 4 but no sentiment allowed

    Best way to solve gw 18 ? Team looks pretty bad imo. 2FT

    Pope

    Targett - Soyuncu - Lundstram - Kelly

    Sterling - KDB - Pulisic - Mount

    Vardy - Ings

    Button - Mane - TAA - Wickham

    A : Pulisic & Mount > Zaha & Grealish

    B : Mane, Ings & Pulisic > Son, Rashford & Zaha/Grealish -4

    Ouch. Could be going out of the cup already. Trailing 20 points and require Ings to net at least once to be in with a shot. I would be confident that my 3 remaining players would outscore the opp's 2 by more than a few.

    All because Salah showed up for once.
