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.

        It can be a great place for certain things but I’ve enjoyed this season a lot more not coming on here as much

          It's OK for information and occasional craic. Too many taking it way too seriously these days though.

      What for? FPL is only a game. You locked your team in over a week ago

        • 11 Years

        it was a joke.
        One must be more tender with each other

    Is Mane essential?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No, but consider getting him next to Salah next week

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

    Mane 1 pointer locked in

  11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    WTF was all that no Salah bollocks about then

    1. Epic Fail

      Someone said Salah wasn't starting.

    Now I have doubled up on Liv defence on my WC this is when their clean sheet run ends right?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Yes

  14. Woy_is_back
    • 6 Years

    Mane ownership will fall to 15% if he doesnt score on his cameo 😀

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

    15/20 minutes to get Mane & Milner back up to speed.

    Salah & Robbo/Trent early rests perhaps, perfect from Klopp.

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Makes sense. You should replace Jürgen when he leaves/retires!

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        no, you should Mikel!
        Where do you see us going this year (Arsenal)?

  16. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Salah haul, Trent G/A but no CS, and Mane sub goal?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years

      Yes please

  17. Camzy

    Boo Mane benched... Oh well. He'll end up hurting sellers in the next few weeks anyway.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      We can hope he comes on and pops one in before the end.

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      They can get him back now though.

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      As expected

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Not really

      Salah(C) , Trent, Robbo owners shall we?!

      1. jaybradlights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        We shall indeed - are you tempted to switch to have both Mane and Salah next week?

        1. Party time
            4 years, 2 months ago

            No for as long as Liverpool's wing backs are adding great points

          • Party time
              4 years, 2 months ago

              & if Salah doesn't become useless all of a sudden

          • Woy_is_back
            • 6 Years

            Imagine holding an injured Mane ‘for Norwich’ ... 🙁

            Damn Mane benched. Feeling stupid now that I kept him.

              Not over just yet. Relax.

              • 8 Years
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Don't. It's not like replacements (except Mo) killed it in the meantime. And you also saved FT.

              Yeah it's a shame but could still work out well. Big differential for this weekend not worked out though.

                He'll come on off the bench and have a good chance of scoring

              Just got in from cinema, catching up with the madness, nice to not be involved in it for a change.

              Do we know % of Salah captains? I assume it doesn't really matter what he does?

                  Well I haven't been anywhere near that since Cahill played for Bolton. What about top 500k?

                    Likely similar. Still mostly active players.

              2
              1
              2
              2
              2

              At least there’s some consistency

                Mane goal and Aguero/KDB blank incoming then.

                well Chilwell got points and fixtures too but after this line up a sigh of relief

                Why are we delusional. We hope for the best but if not then he will get a runabout later on to be ready for Tuesday. He'll be firing on all cylinders in GW27
