Ings starts third straight match for Saints in Sunday’s only Gameweek 32+ fixture

Gameweek 32+ continues to move at a glacial pace, with just one Premier League fixture taking place on Sunday.

Southampton are the visitors to Watford, with kick-off at Vicarage Road at 16:30 BST.

Danny Ings (£7.2m) makes Ralph Hasenhuttl’s starting XI for the third straight match, quelling fears that he may have been rested amid the fixture congestion.

The Southampton manager has made changes to his starting XI elsewhere, however, with Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m), Yan Valery (£4.6m) and Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) all dropping to the bench.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.8m) misses out with an ankle injury.

Oriel Romeu (£4.3m), Will Smallbone (£4.5m), Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.4m) and Shane Long (£4.7m) are the players replacing them.

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m) fills in for the suspended Jack Stephens (£4.4m) at centre-half, meanwhile, but Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) keeps his place after his high-profile error in the defeat to Arsenal.

Nigel Pearson has made three changes to his starting XI from the side that lost 1-0 at Burnley.

Craig Cathcart (£4.3m) replaces Christian Kabasele (£4.3m) at centre-half, while Roberto Pereyra (£5.6m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.6m), both of whom were rested in midweek, return to the side.

Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) and Tom Cleverley (£4.8m), as well as Kabasele, are all among the substitutes after their run-outs against the Clarets.

Three of Watford’s fringe players, Andre Gray (£5.5m), Nathaniel Chalobah (£4.4m) and Domingos Quina (£4.3m), have all been omitted from the matchday squad amid rumours of a “lockdown party” hosted by Gray.

Ings has been transferred in by approximately 260,000 FPL managers since his double-digit haul in Gameweek 30+.

The striker is by some distance the most-owned player on show in today’s fixture and has been handed the armband by just over 75,000 Fantasy bosses.

Over one in five of the top 10,000 FPL managers own Ings, too.

The forward and Ismaila Sarr (£6.3m) were both on target in the reverse fixture back in November, with Hasenhuttl’s troops running out 2-1 winners.


Watford XI: Foster, Femenía, Cathcart, Dawson, Masina, Hughes, Capoue, Sarr, Doucoure, Pereyra, Deeney.

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Bertrand, Smallbone, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Long, Ings.

    Any truth to these rumours of Man United 75m bid for Grealish? Surely that's a bit too much

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hearing 80.
      Think time will tell. Has been quality with Villa, certainly should be playing for a top half team. For 80m. I say if United win a trophy next season then its worth it.

    2. Bada Bing
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      That's about 50 million more than Jack the Lad is actually worth, but United are loaded, so it's probably going to happen.

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Very good player but 75m is ridiculous, and even more so because of Covid market.

      Where are you seeing this? Find it hard to believe TBH.

      1. Egg noodle
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        News is 2 weeks old but it's being recycled again today.
        If you just google for 'Grealish Man Utd 75' , it shows you links to most major newspapers.

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          2+2=5

    4. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Quality player, but the figures these days are outrageous. He's more in the 35-45 million range

        1. Egg noodle
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Seriously. Salah was about 40m lol

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Yes, but that was several years ago. Player prices increase annually, plus he’s British so that adds to his value.

            Look at how much Jude Bellingham at Birmingham is being tipped to go to Borussia Dortmund for, and he’s not at Grealish’s level and not even the best player in the Championship.

            Grealish is an England international in the making, he’s going to cost top dollar.

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Nothing less than a kiko clean sheet assist and 3 bonuses will be acceptable today.

      1. Reg83
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        yes an assist or goal would be even better.

        He is on my bench, but I am playing BB

      2. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He is 3 on my bench. Hope not.

    6. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Any news on Ritchie yet?

    7. Louis Van Gaalstones
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pulisic is going to get benched isn't he

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Too early to say really.

      2. Baron Penguin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I thought they were out of the cup when I brought him in, then realised I was remembering when Man Utd knocked them out last season. Too late, and my own fault!

      3. Reg83
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        yes dont worry he will make a 20 min cameo to get a valuable point for u

      4. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Even if he does he will surely get a 30 min runout against a tired west ham.

    8. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Soy YC for challenge on Pulisic.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        @Amey C worried

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Not a nasty one 😉

    9. rokonto
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Soyunchu yellow card does that mean he misses the next Premier League game

      1. Louis Van Gaalstones
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No, semi final

      2. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Commentator said that he will miss the semi-final if Leicester make it. I'm not sure of the cards rules really.

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I think RC suspensions carry over, but yellow cards not.

    10. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Willy and Emerson. An accident waiting to happen.

    11. Mini Mahouse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Will depend on how Sarr and Vardy perform, but how does this look?

      Vardy, Sarr -> Cantwell, Kane

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cantwell leg fell off

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Probably depends on how Kane performs.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          So this

    12. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Just a Sarr brace would be good. Not too much to ask.

      1. Big_Bear
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Brace is fair, hatrick is greedy

    13. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Kdb and Jota out
      Son and Jimenez in
      For a hit
      Y or N

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I don't really see the appeal of Son, looking for any excuse to ship out, Kane and Alli may be more central now.

        1. Peter Ouch
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I see, I need a Differential and all ml rivals have kdb, I need to push my luck

        2. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          why did you get him? He was very unlucky due to VAR last wk.

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            You think he will score more than Ali?

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              hope so, currently my cappy vs Sheffield

    14. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      How to stop the red arrows and captain fails?!

      DDG
      TAA Doherty Aurier
      Mane KDB Son Fernandes Pulisic
      Jimenez DCL
      Martin Lascelles Greenwood Simpson

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Pick a better captain, team looks ok although missing Rashford/Martial.

      2. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Template, you may need to get more m Utd assets
