Over 50% of the top 10k on Ings for Southampton’s clash with Bournemouth

Three days after they drew with Brighton and Hove Albion, Southampton have another meeting with a fellow south coast club this afternoon.

The Saints this time make the short trip across the New Forest to take on Bournemouth, with kick-off at the Vitality Stadium at 14:00 BST.

The result of this fixture will have huge ramifications in the three-way battle (we’re assuming West Ham United and Brighton are safe now) to beat the drop, with Eddie Howe’s troops three points adrift of Watford and with a marginally inferior goal difference.

Bournemouth wouldn’t be relegated this afternoon if they do lose but, should Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side emerge with a win today, the Cherries would drop to the Championship if Watford take a point or more from their remaining two games.

This match is also significant from a Fantasy perspective, although only one of the players on show has a double-digit ownership in Fantasy Premier League.

That player is Danny Ings (£7.6m), who makes his eighth successive post-resumption start – and his third in six days – this afternoon.

Almost one in three of FPL managers overall own Ings, while just over half of the top 10,000 are also in possession of the in-form striker.

Ings has been captained by 2.03% of the top 10k and 1.48% of FPL managers overall.

He was also the most-bought FPL forward of Gameweek 37+, with 112,345 managers snapping him up.

Ings is partnered by Shane Long (£4.6m) in the Southampton attack today, with the Irishman replacing Michael Obafemi (£4.9m) up front.

He is one of five changes from Thursday’s 1-1 draw with Brighton.

Stuart Armstrong (£5.2m) returns at the expense of Will Smallbone (£4.5m), while three of the regular back four are also recalled: Ryan Bertrand (£4.8m), Jack Stephens (£4.4m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.4m) are in for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.8m), Jan Bednarek (£4.4m) and Jake Vokins (£4.0m).

Speaking ahead of kick-off, Hasenhuttl said of Bednarek’s absence:

Yesterday, he had a light muscle injury and it was too risky to bring him in with a busy week so it doesn’t make sense.

Bournemouth have made two changes from the side that lost 2-1 to Manchester City, with Callum Wilson (£7.4m) and David Brooks (£6.1m) replacing the benched Dominic Solanke (£5.1m) and Dan Gosling (£4.8m).

Aside from Ings, only one other player in today’s two starting XIs – Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) – has an ‘effective ownership’ of over 1% in the top 10k, which is often a better gauge of popularity than the overall figure given the number of dead teams that currently exist.


Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale; Stacey, Cook, Kelly, Rico; Brooks, Lerma, Billing, Stanislas; King, C Wilson.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Stephens, Vestergaard, Bertrand; Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond; Long, Ings.

    Bore off Ramsdale, you were a waste of space in my team for half of the season and now you ruin my GW before it’s even started

    1. Hazz

      How? It was a bad penalty.

        3 years, 8 months ago

        Well obviously. I’m just shocked with Ings in such good form

    2. Postman Ty

      Terrible penalty from someone who isn't the designated taker. Don't say unreal luck.

    Can you believe there are over 2million players that actually own Ings?

      Shocking penalty.

      Belt it.

    This season sucks

  14. AC/DC AFC

    Lots of papers reporting that Pearson has been sacked. Looks official.

    Bet it was a full on argument.

    "First pen missed ever..." you sure can pick your moments, Danny! Dammit.

    1. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Did commentator say that? Missed 2 others for Bournemouth and Burnley

  16. diesel001

    3 years, 8 months ago

    That penalty is probably worth a -5 for Ings owners after taking account of BAPS.

  17. @persecuted_by_mods
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's gonna score another anyway

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Nah.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 8 months ago

            True he's been in awful form

            1. diesel001
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              Got no supply this game. Southampton creating very little.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  3 years, 8 months ago

                  Lots of his goals come out of absolutely nothing but his skill determination and good finishing. Wouldn't rule a second out

          • Fudgy
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            No chance imo

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

          It baffles me that certain players can be so good from open play but do that with penalties.

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Agreed. Just pick a corner and blast it into that corner.

          2. Utopsis
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Ha so right

          Ings still holds a flame for the Cherries. That will mix up a few mini leagues eh

        4. GE

          • 9 Years

          As a non-Ings owner I am quite glad he missed this penalty. May all the other non-Ings owners give me a HELLZ YEAH?

          Sums up my season. Good start with the Ings goal, penalty to raise your hopes only to miss it.
