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.

      Norwich will batter them in the first half, with Pukki missing huge chances. Liverpool win 3-0 with a few second-half goals.

    Gomez proving to be a cheap Liverpool enabler

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't see why you would pick an enabler from the best team in the league with the best form and fixtures....

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Well I have vvd as 3rd pool choice. Not sure he offers much over Gomez!

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years

          4 goals and 11 bonus points vs 0 and 5?

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            last 10 games when both have started ?

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Approx £2 million reasons - cheapest way into the Liverpool team and providing 5.5 ppm over the last 10 game weeks -

        1. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          £2m really?

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            if you take the average of the 3 other defenders, yes.

            Just saying that £5 mill to get him when he came into the team 10 games ago was good value for 5.5 ppg,

            That TAA 24 pointer aside, there isn’t much between all the defenders really, over the last 10 games

        2. panda07
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Overall VVD 5.1 ppm, Gomez 4.1 ppm

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            last 10 games though ?

            1. panda07
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Last 10 games VVD has ppm of 6.7

              1. Hotdogs for Tea
                • 8 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                just one point per game then

                1. panda07
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years

                  Just?

                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    An extra 2m could easily earn you 10 points over 10gw’s.

                      4 years, 1 month ago

                      We're talking about VVD who is an extra 1.2m

                      1. Hotdogs for Tea
                        • 8 Years
                        4 years, 1 month ago

                        ok, 1.3 mill 10 gameweeks ago 🙂

                  2. Hotdogs for Tea
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    well, yes - basic price of a defender is 4 mill, so over that 4.0 mill ... Gomez at 1.0 mill v VVD at 2.5 mill for the extra point per game

                    having that extra 1.5 mill is quite handy to chop and change else where

                2. panda07
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  Anyway, my point is I think it's time to be going all in on Liverpool and not looking for an enabler. I've had a few beers so I am probably being argumentative. Good luck for the rest of the season, you make good posts in general.

  6. DAZZ

    Anyone care to hazard a guess at how LFC will set up? Ox in the Mane role i assume?

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes that seems like the most obvious setup

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      442 at times, Ox more advanced of the 'mids'.

    3. diesel001

      Alisson

      Hazard for that matter has a woeful season in white

  7. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mane and Vardy -> Aubameyang and Mahrez for a hit is getting closer and closer to a good decision...

    1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It’s really a poor decision. Mane being rested after coming back from injury, he’ll be ready to go next GW. Doing Mane>Mahrez is plain stupidity. Auba off form too

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’ll let you know how it goes Wednesday evening. Short term punt as I’m hovering around 100k and need to do something different if I want any chance of top 10k

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I think he is saying he has already made these moves for this GW.

          1. TomSaints
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Whoops yes, if that wasn’t clear.

      2. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Also you have Aubameyang too!

        1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Doesn’t mean that I would be looking to bring him in on a transfer! Also both Mahrez and Auba blank on gw28

          1. TomSaints
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Mahrez back to mane or to Son next week. But could all blow up in my face!

    2. Onana Whatsmyname
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mane is back on the bench...wouldn’t be losing him

  8. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Oh goody, if Mane doesn't play I get Traores points off the bench.

    Take that haters!

    1. kamdaraji
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1 glorious point

      1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wooosshhhh

        There it goes, right over your head

      2. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Whoosh. How do you get through the day.

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

      Would you rather have 1 point or 1 point?

      1. Dr. Agabuse
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        1 glorious point or one dull point?

      2. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'd rather I'd put Soyu as first sub.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Should get at least 10 minutes of Mane to try beat it.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        or get a yc.

        1. Dr. Agabuse
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          if mane gets yc on the bench for keeping the ball in his hands or smth, how many minutes would make him worth coming on and try to exceed Traores one point?

          id say 4

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            3.14159265

            1. Dr. Agabuse
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              depends on the result i guess.
              3.14159265 could be enough if the game is 0-1 to pool.

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I'd still take the punt even if only 5 minutes with a guaranteed YC.

        3. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Or do a Lundy... But Lundy is better so it's wishful thinking.

    No Mane. Holly Shand will be devastated

      Who?

      1. Rainer

        Sadio Mane.

        female fpl pundit

        Just googled her. It’s some bird that plays fpl

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Oh right. Any particular reason why we'd care about her individual situation?

          1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I’ve no idea whatsoever on that one!

          2. have you seen cyan

            She is famous, you should care

              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              I captained Mane and I barely care about my own situation let alone whoever she is

              1. Epic Fail

                • 13 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Me too. He'll come on against tired legs with 5 mins to go so I'm confident of at least a hattrick.

                1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
                  • 4 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  That would be acceptable to me

      1. kamdaraji
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think it will be that high

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      that would probably be quite good

    1. kamdaraji

    2. Pukki Party

      This will happen, expecting a goal after subbed in at around 60

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He will come for 1 point to block my Lundstram points from the bench

      Henderson?
      Gomez!
      VVD!
      Allison!
      Keita?
      Firmino!

    1-4 would be nice with Bobby involved

    Really need Robbo to do something today. Got a feeling Norwich will score today.

    Planning to take a 4 point hit to take Sidibe and Maupay out (both were differential punts that haven't really worked) for either:

    1) Jiminez and Taylor - would currently leave 0.0 in the bank so may have to move early

    2) Ings and Boly - would currently leave 0.2 in the bank so could probably wait a few days.

    Any suggestions as to which one is likely to be better (currently 50/50 at the moment)

      If you look at it as Firmino vs Robertson / Van Dijk, its tough to call. Firmino is great away, but then you'll lose out at home. Plus Liverpool are very solid defensively at the moment.

        I wonder if the recent news surrounding Man City will have much of an impact on their players for the rest of the season. Maybe they lose motivation, maybe the exact opposite? Any thoughts?

        1. TheDragon

          I’d have thought they’d be extremely motivated to try to win the champions league this year given they may not get a chance for 2 years

          1. kamdaraji
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            regarding FPL yes

          No way would they lose motivation. You get fired at footy for something like that.
