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.

      Already have them, as I expected something against Norwich.

      Not pleased, a hard sell with their run, but Richarlison could be Martial, Mahrez, Pulisic etc., so seems a bit silly to keep both.

        Looking at his & DCL’s stats they’re encouraging enough...

        Only Auba has more goal attempts (12) than DCL (9) since the restart, and Auba got an extra 90 mins to accumulate those...

        Richarlison has 6 shots in the box since the restart - top of all midfielders, including the DGW brigade who have extra minutes over him...

        Aside from the great fixtures & great underlying stats its the rest manager factor that attracts me most though - Carlo’s team don’t usually do goal droughts, and when they do they’re normally quite short so wouldn’t be surprised to see them finish the season with a bang

        All things considered it’s enough to overlook the questionable form & pre-empt some goals I reckon

        Yeah he’s looking like a young Hazard at the minute

        Think he’s coming in for Bruno to allow Vardy go to Rashford for this week possibly, will see how midweek pans out

        His minutes haven't been great. I like, but nailed on you think?

      Not sure why shirt-pulling in the area is not a foul unless the player makes a scene and falls over.

      Any chances Pulisic gets rested in the next game?

      Tielemans' form has really nosedived lately. Heavy touch there missed a chance.
