Ward-Prowse back from injury as Redmond misses out for Saints

The key Fantasy Premier League assets are in place for the Gameweek 26 clash between Southampton and Burnley.

Danny Ings (£7.0m) is the most popular player for the lunch-time kick-off, starting the match with ownership of 29.9%.

Behind him in second place is Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope (£4.7m), who has recently made a swift return to the Fantasy good-books.

Ings has three goals in his last three outings while Pope has averaged 9.3 points per game since Gameweek 23 – so it will be interesting to see which of them comes out on top this afternoon.

There was encouragement for Ings owners with the creative option James Ward-Prowse (£5.8m) back in the side following an injury, while Kyle Walker-Peters‘ (£4.4m) debut at right-back means a return to midfield for the former.

However, Southampton will be without Nathan Redmond (£6.2m) who misses the game through injury.

“Prowsey’s cut was ok, so he could train yesterday and finally he made it. The not so good thing is the injury for Redmond. A muscle injury. It’s hard to saw how long it will take, but for today he is out.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

Meanwhile, Burnley have received boosts of their own in defence as Charlie Taylor (£4.2m) is cleared to play left-back respectively, while Matt Lowton (£4.2m) misses out on the other side.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Vestergaard, J Stephens, Walker-Peters; Boufal, Hojbjerg, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong; S Long, Ings.

Burnley XI: Pope; C Taylor, Mee, Tarkowski, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; Rodriguez, Wood.

    KWP playing REALLY advanced. JWP covering in behind to allow him to surge forward

      It was around this time last season everyone piled into cheap Southampton defence (Bednarek etc) after some good results.

    KWP a bit rusty both defensively and offensively as expected

    Many complaining about Stephens. 4.3m. What do you expect?

    I have him, is in my 11 today and will keep him. Also have McCarthy, thank heavens I did not start him as well 😀

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Ideally to not concede directly from a corner?

    2. Qaiss

      Why would people complain? In football matches, goals are scored. Stephens getting 2 or 6 points is not season defining

    The only up side to this is that my rival has the same 2 Southampton players so no matter how bad this game is I'm not losing ground in the ML.
