The Kane injury latest as Ings continues his fine run of form against sorry Spurs

Southampton 1-0 Tottenham Hotspur

  • Goal: Danny Ings (£6.7m)
  • Assist: Jack Stephens (£4.3m)
  • Bonus: Ings x3, Jack Stephens (£4.3m) x2, Alex McCarthy (£4.3m) x1

Danny Ings (£6.7m) continued his superb goalscoring run as Southampton saw off a lacklustre Tottenham Hotspur at St Mary’s Stadium.

The striker made it nine goals from his last nine starts to round off an excellent festive run for the Saints, who have taken 10 points from 12 over Christmas.

The contrast with the lot of Spurs forward Harry Kane (£11.0m) could not have been more stark, the England captain limping off with a hamstring issue that could well prompt a flurry of sales among his 20.4% Fantasy Premier League (FPL) ownership.

The injury came as he stretched to prod home what looked like an equaliser for the visitors, only for his effort to be correctly ruled out for offside.

It would have been an undeserved strike either way as Southampton out-fought, and for the most part outplayed, a one-paced Spurs side for the majority of the match.

Chances were at a premium throughout – no player had more than three attempts – but Ings took the best of his two with aplomb.

The 17.2%-owned forward latched onto a ball over the top by Jack Stephens (£4.3m) before flicking it past the flat-footed Toby Alderweireld (£5.4m) and finishing smartly on his left foot.

The lack of goalmouth action made for dreary viewing, although the select few with Southampton defenders in their Fantasy sides won’t have cared as they banked clean sheet points for the second time in three Gameweeks.

Alex McCarthy (£4.3m) was the busier of the two keepers, but none of his five saves were any more than regulation ones as Tottenham lacked purpose and cohesion in the final third.

The potential loss of Kane for any length of time will not help remedy that, with Jose Mourinho’s initial assessment understandably guarded.

It is negative, hamstring is always negative. Is it a tear? Is it a small thing? At this moment I cannot say.

The Spurs coach was rather more forthright about midfielder Tanguy Ndombele (£5.8m), who had to be taken off in the first half after taking a knock to the knee.

He’s always injured. He’s injured, he’s not injured, he plays one match. This is the same since the beginning of the season.

Mourinho claimed to be a changed man following the bitter end to his time at Manchester United, but publicly singling out a player for criticism has been a long, and generally divisive, tactic of his. How Ndombele and his team-mates respond to it will be worth keeping an eye on.

For now, however, most eyes will be on Southampton assets.

Ings’ ownership has ballooned by nearly one million in eight Gameweeks and looks certain to rise ever higher over the coming weeks.

The Saints will have to travel to both Leicester City and Liverpool in the next four Gameweeks, but will fear nobody having beaten both Chelsea and Spurs over Christmas.

And after Gameweek 25, a five-match run of attractive fixtures awaits, suggesting that investment in more than Ings might be worth considering.

Coach Ralph Hasehuttl was certainly happy to spread the praise post-match:

It’s the first step in the right direction if you defend like a Premier League team and at the moment we are defending very well. We know we can always score with Ingsy up front. When he has a chance, the chance is big that he scores and it’s enjoyable to watch this team at the moment.”

Stephens’ assist capped a fine four matches for the defender, who has also scored and kept two clean sheets over that period.

And in midfield, a revitalised Nathan Redmond (£6.2m) and the industrious Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m) led the way for both attempts and chances created against the Londoners.

Spurs’ schedule is less inviting, and their form too inconsistent, to warrant much interest.

Mourinho’s men have badly missed the pace and directness of the suspended Son Heung-min (£9.8m) of late and his return can’t come soon enough – particularly if Kane ends up sidelined for a significant spell.

Southampton XI (4-2-2-2): McCarthy, Cedric, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand, Djenepo (Long 58′), Ward-Prowse, Hojbjerg, Armstrong (Romeu 90′), Redmond, Ings (Obafemi 76′).

Spurs XI (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga, Aurier, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sessegnon, Sissoko, Ndombele (Lo Celso 25′), Eriksen, Alli, Moura, Kane (Lamela 75′).

Watford 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

  • Goals: Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m) | Pedro Neto (£5.0m)
  • Assists: Deulofeu, Ismaila Sarr (£6.2m) | Joao Moutinho (£5.4m)
  • Bonus: Deulofeu x3, Doucoure x2, Moutinho x1

Watford’s bid to escape the nether regions of the Premier League gathered pace with a third straight home win since Nigel Pearson took charge.

The Hornets had to dig deep to see off Wolves, surviving with ten men for the last 20 minutes when Christian Kabesele (£4.3m) was shown a red card, after VAR intervened, for hauling down Diogo Jota (£6.1m).

That decision, and a 60th-minute goal from Pedro Neto (£5.0m), meant a nervy end to a game that the hosts had previously controlled.

A 2-0 lead, courtesy of goals from Gerard Deulofeu (£6.1m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m), didn’t flatter Watford, although neither attack overly worked the goalkeepers, with the sides managing just seven shots on target between them.

Deulofeu opened the scoring when Wolves gave away possession inside their own half and the Spaniard finished with assurance when played in by Ismaila Sarr (£6.2m).

The attacking pair have form and fixtures on their side as they start the new year.

Striker Deulofeu has two goals and an assist to his name in the last three matches, while Sarr has two of each since Gameweek 18 ushered in the packed Christmas schedule.

Watford’s next five fixtures should tempt Fantasy managers to consider at least of one of them.

They’ll face Bournemouth, Aston Villa, Everton and Brighton, while a Gameweek 23 visit from Spurs looks the toughest test on paper.

With Pearson in charge, the belief is flowing back into the side, perhaps best exemplified by the emergence of Doucoure as an attacking threat.

The new manager has been employing the midfielder in a more advanced role and he has responded with a goal and an assist from the last two Gameweeks.

Clean sheets are also back on the table – the Hornets have kept three from Gameweek 16 – although injuries, and Kabasele’s dismissal, are now leaving them dangerously light at the back.

That situation wasn’t helped by Keko Femenia (£4.2m) being subbed off seconds before the magic 60-minute mark against Wolves, denying his (small) army of owners shut-out points. The move wasn’t tactical as the defender required treatment before he left the pitch, but there was no immediate indication as to the nature or severity of the problem.

Wolves got a goal back immediately after Femenia went off when Joao Moutinho (£5.4m) set up Neto, whose shot took a deflection on its way past Ben Foster (£4.8m).

The home keeper was only worked sporadically after that, even when Watford were down to ten men, as his team-mates repelled the visitors time and time again – eight of the top ten players for clearances, blocks and interceptions were Watford assets.

That resilience was recognised by Pearson in his post-match comments.

At times we’ve played some really good football and won, but today it was about showing desire and character as well as ability.

Wolves, meanwhile, looked tired – hardly surprising as they were playing their 35th game of a long and well-travelled season so far.

The main Fantasy interest in their stars centred on Adama Traore (£5.6m), who was the most transferred-in player for the Gameweek, with 502,389 new owners.

But the winger was a peripheral figure who managed no attempts and created just a couple of chances.

As a team, Wolves lacked a cutting edge. They had 16 shots all in, but only four on target, with wing-back Matt Doherty (£6.1m) having half of those himself.

Coach Nuno Espirito Santo was honest enough to acknowledge his side’s deficiencies when he spoke after the game:

We didn’t create enough to really come to the draw and get what we wanted – a good performance, a team with character – we didn’t have that today. But we should improve and we should perform better.

Wolves’ fixtures, in the very short term, are good, with Newcastle at home and Southampton away.

Things turn nasty after that, however, with Liverpool, Manchester United, Leicester and Spurs to play during a five-match spell from Gameweek 24.

The side remain good enough to beat pretty much anyone on their day, but fatigue and a lack of defensive stability – they’ve not kept a clean sheet since Gameweek 15 – mean few Fantasy managers will look past the prospect of points offered by the goals of Raul Jimenez (£7.5m).

Watford XI (4-2-3-1): Foster, Dawson, Kabasele, Cathcart, Femenia (Holebas 60′), Capoue, Chalobah, Sarr (Pereyra 90′), Doucoure, Deulofeu (Masina 73′), Deeney

Wolves XI (3-4-3): Patricio, Doherty, Bennett (Neves 54′), Coady, Dendoncker, Jonny (Vinagre 54′), Saiss, Moutinho, Neto (Jota 66′), Jimenez, Traore.

        I think at one point in the season (gw14) he had the best points per minute ratio - then I bought him!

  4. Niho992
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    Mane, Origi,Hendo and Alisson on cover of the official matchday programme. So they should start probably. Thats mean Salah or Firmino bench

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Terrible logic

      1. Niho992

        We will see.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      That would mean Klopp needs to give their media department very early team news 🙂

      How far in advance do they print the programmes?

    3. MarcusAurelius
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe they are on the programme because they are nowhere to be seen tonight

    Lundstram no show to get Dougie Luiz’s 7 pointer from 2nd sub

    What are the chances?!

    Solskjaer 'wants Manchester United to buy Maddison or Grealish'
    https://mol.im/a/7845905

    Can’t see it happening tbh. Unless Manu splash the cash big time

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Dont know why would Maddison leave LEI for a Europa league team.

      Grealish, maybe.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed. Grealish move would make more sense

    2. Niho992
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Maddison would be stupid if he makes mistake like Maguire and move from better side. A lot of better side.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      It’s not often (ever?) I’d agree with Mina Raoila

      But he hit the nail on the head with his comments the other day about Pele, Maradonna, Messi etc at Utd

      Every player with their head screwed on has to think very long & hard before going to utd in their current state

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Personally, I feel it is blown out of proportion with all this Raiola crap.

        The truth is Pogba doesn’t give a damn about Manu. Having said that, Manu hierarchy is making joke decisions for ages now.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          I totally agree with what Raoila said though

          He’s a scumbag

          Pogba’s a scumbag

          But what he said was right and is a very appropriate soundbite when you see talented young players being linked with utd at the minute

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Perhaps they should also take players personalities into consideration before buying them. Pogba has been nothing but a spoilt brat ever since Manu bought him.

            1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              It’s a hard thing to scout/gauge I’m sure

              But there’s also a fair amount of evidence stacking up to support the view that players get worse at Utd, and improve when they leave

              Lukaku, Smalling & Darmian all doing very well again this season - Sanchez actually started decently at Inter as well

              It’s like a weight gets lifted off a player’s shoulders as soon as they’re out the gates

              The club is a circus at the minute, and it’s sad to see

              1. La Roja
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 10 months ago

                To be honest, it is quite evident that Manu failed to replace the genius, Ferguson. None of these crap would happen if he was still in charge.

                So the responsibility relies on owners decisions as transition period have been handled piss poor.

                And the issue, there isn’t any other manager like Klopp or Pep around. Perhaps Allegri could be good shout.

                They also gotta be very careful with their transfers. Playing lingard in number 10 is absolute crime. Get Grealish and be sorted

                1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                  • 14 Years
                  4 years, 10 months ago

                  It was Fergie who wanted Moyes in... then they tried LVG & MouMou who were both very good manager sin their day - it’s the way the club is setup though, the environment just doesn’t support success for whatever reason

                  It surely wasn’t coincidental that they immediately improved when Lingard was swapped for Pereira last night

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

        Imagine listening to Mino Raiolo, the biggest turd in the world of football only interested about his own wallet with everything he says and does.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          It’s just like the old Ancient Greek saying though:

          “From the mouths of big turds, sometimes emerges great wisdom”

          This is what he said, for the record:

          It's a club out of touch with reality and without a sporting project,' Railo told Italian news outlet La Repubblica. 'I wouldn't take anyone there, they would even ruin Maradona, Pele and Maldini.

    4. OverTinker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Maddison to Grealish/Adama if that happens

    5. Party time
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Or Solskjaer is doing another scouting job for Dortmund

      • BrutalLogiC
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Terrible move for Madd, manu are toxic

      • MarcusAurelius
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I’m a Utd fan and it pains me to say it’s been a long long time since we signed a player and their career improved afterwards.

      • Brosstan
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Grealish has been hinting that he would like a United move too. Would be the perfect transfer for United tbh, absolutely the kind of player they lack the most. Replacing Lingard/Pereira with Grealish, what an upgrade...

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          I cannot believe he hadn’t been called up for England yet. He’s a brilliant player

          1. Brosstan
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            Players like Alli living on past reputation and taking up slots in the national team

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              For me, Grealish is far better than Maddison

              And I sold him this GW for Traore. Oh the irony

                Grealish is just a spoilt brat

    6. fc_skrald

      4 years, 10 months ago

      For the Liverpool double gw 24 - should I aim for:

      a. Jiménez -> Firmino
      b. Aurier -> Robertson

      Guaita
      TAA, Digne, Lundstram
      Salah, KDB, Maddison, Grealish
      Vardy, Ings, Jiménez

      Martin, Aurier, Hayden, Kelly, 1.8 million in the bank

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        prefer b of those

        Bobby is more is more of a provider for Mane and Salah than a heavy goalscorer. Also there are so many good forward options whereas quality defenders with attacking returns are not so common

        1. fc_skrald
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

        I got a 24 hour ban for saying "Kane not spotted at Highbury" when Spurs played Arsenal at home. So I suppose the answer is its against the rules 😉 . Tbf I made my post like 10 minutes before the deadline so the ban was probably justified.

      I don’t particularly want to downgrade Grealish to Traore in order to free up funds for an upgrade of Greenwood, so I think I’ve got it down to the following options:

      1. Dendoncker >> Traore (Greenwood would then be my 8th attacker)
      2. Kelly Greenwood >> Kiko DCL (-4)

      Henderson
      TAA Soyuncu Lundstram
      KDB Mane Salah Grealish
      Vardy Jimenez Greenwood

      McGovern Rico Dendoncker Kelly

      1 FT, 1.3 ITB

      Hate taking hits but if going down the Greenwood >> DCL route is better than getting Adama Traore then I will!

      Thanks all

      Spuds have been having a hard time beating any PL team.

      Without their best player don't see them beating anyone.

      1. TRIPOS TOPPER

        Kane is not their best player

      What exactly is the psychology behind how mad people on here get when they are called casuals? Its like red flag to a bull.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I’m more interested in the psychology behind you constantly carping on about casuals. Which doesn’t make me angry

        1. Brosstan

      2. Syd.

        I consider everyone to be a casual as it is only a stupid fantasy game

        1. Brosstan
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          I agree which is why its funny how mad some people get about it

      3. Orion

        Oh no

      4. DA Minnion (Former great)

        What defines a casual?

        1. Orion
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          It’s personal, yeah

      7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Referring to individuals as “casuals” is effecting an “identity politics” divide - where group identity supercedes individual identity - creating a them & us scenario with a superiority/inferiority axis on which we like to place ourselves - it fires up the more primal parts of the brain and instigates conflict

        We need to get Jordan Peterson signed up & he will offer a hypothesis 🙂

      I recall when the Presidents Cup was on, and Sergio Garcia sank a massive putt. I posted " SERGIOOOO" on here...coincidentally Man City was playing and Kun was captained by many : lol: I was in FPL jail for 24 hours

      1. Syd.
        • 15 Years

        Garcia doesn't play in the Presidents Cup so I am not sure what you were actually watching

        Keita and Salah seemed to have built up a good partnership

    22. abaalan
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Pope, mcgov
      Taa, aurier, Lund, Rico, soyuncu
      Salah, maddison, moura, kdb, Cantwell
      Rashford, vardy, Abraham

      2ft, 0.2 itb. Thinking of just doing Pope > Ryan. Any other suggestions?

      Not too happy with aurier or moura...likely to go followin weeks

      1. bautasten
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        I'd get rid of one of Aurier and Moura this week as well, probably Aurier.

      2. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Pope to Ryan and if you can bench Aurier then save, otherwise Everton defence is flavour of the week

    23. bautasten
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Evening, what would you advise with two frees?

      Pope, Kelly ->

      A) Fabianski, Holgate
      B) Mccarthy, Sidibé

      1. JT11fc
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        B

        1. bautasten
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks. actually leaning towards this. Soton got pretty decent fixtures medium-term and Mccarthy is dirt cheap. Don't know why noones talking about ther defense. Guess the 0-9 vs Lei's got something to do with it..

      2. Sid1891

          Thanks. Yeah Holgate actually been quite unlucky not to score the last weeks (but obviously the clean sheets is what I'm after).
