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.

    Vardy owners, has patience run out?
    Seriously considering to ditch for Ings. Can always get him back, but will lose value ofc

    1. El Presidente

      Drop him. So many good assets out there: Jimenez, Ings, DCL, Firmino...

        Already have DCL and Jimi, + 3x Pool

      Too late to the Ings train. There´s always someone new who will go on a streak. Find that player 😉

        Soton got good fixtures, why wouldnt he keep it up?

        That player is Vardy

      What’s value at this time of season? And well I lost max value on him a few weeks back and if I get him back for 28 I’ll only end up losing 0.3 or just perhaps 0.4 probs - scarcely shattering.

    Fair to say Burnley are now looking at Europe? Relegation safely averted and only 5 off CL spot. Strange times.

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I doubt they want to get to Europe...

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years

      they did so 2 years ago

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

        Of course - do they really want to repeat the experience? Near as dammit relegated as a result.

        But 12 weeks is a long time to be on the beach for and they have super fixtures and no cup involvement.

    are there any strong arguments against wildcarding this week (blanks, doubles etc)? I am doing terribly but have a habit of being compulsive..

      Step 1: Build a WC team.

      If you can't get a decent team, not worth WCing.

        Looks like a very low budget team, like a ffs scout pick!

    surely lineups are there now.

    gonna be interesting this

      Locked in at quarter past, leaks might come before.

  7. BNMC

    So Burnley are the team to beat now, I guess. Decent fixtures and they play in 31. I'm probably gonna pass on their assets though, especially since I'm FHing in 31.

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      But now have their 2 strikers out.

      1. BNMC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I can still see them picking up some clean sheets. I'd bring in Pope for Ryan if I had a transfer to burn.

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yep, now they will focus on defensive game

  8. Party time

      Can someone please post the line up

      1. BNMC

        Comes out in half an hour

        1. Dr. Agabuse

                All I want is Mané hattie with Salah/TAA assists, a Norwich goal would be icing on the cake 🙂

                As long as Salah and TAA stay on bench if true- and these type of rumours usually are - can live with Boly 6 points and Son promoted to captain

                As a Salah (c) and TAA owner it is scary, the scare mongering has worked. But the twitter account literally says “50 likes and ill go get the early team news” hes rocked up to a pub in Norwich, its so unrealistic but im still worried

                  Kind of hope no Salah (c) show Aguero (vc) and Lundstram 1st on the bench. But this GW has been so weird it might end up that if this happens then Aguero is prob missing too

                With Auba as VC and no TAA i would be happy with Salah and TAA no shows 😀

                  Lots of Lundstram coming in for TTA so not that happy

                  But Auba is a left wing back who doesn't even get clean sheet points...

                  What if Auba blanks though? I have Ings(vc) 7 pointer banked atleast 😉

                Let’s be fair it was obvious there was gonna be major changes with Atleti away in 3 days time. Pool’s kids would still beat Norwich.

                  Why not rest against West Ham on Monday night though? That will be an easier game and can use the Norwich game to give the team a run around after a long break and get them back up to speed.

                  Weird though they’ve literally had 2 weeks rest

                Will it be Mo Salah or No Salah?!

                Just wait 540 seconds to find out!

                  you must only hope that Salah comes on. Then its 2captain pts for everyone
