Adams lines up alongside Ings as £4.0m defender starts for Crystal Palace

After weeks of debate, Che Adams (£6.0m) finally has the chance to prove himself up against colleague Danny Ings (£8.5m).

The former Birmingham City forward has been named in Southampton’s starting line-up for a trip to Crystal Palace having outscored Ings in the last three matches of 2019/20.

The Saints’ back-four, which has been targeted by plenty of Fantasy managers this summer, is mostly as expected, featuring Ryan Bertrand (£5.0m), Jan Bednarek (£4.5m), Jack Stephens (£5.0m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.5m) in front of Alex McCarthy (£4.5m).

Will Smallbone (£4.5m) comes in for the injured Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m), offering another budget midfield route into the Southampton team alongside Oriol Romeu (£4.5m), who is paired with James Ward-Prowse (£6.0m) in the centre of the park.

A large portion of Fantasy Football Scout readers will be pleased to see Tyrick Mitchell (£4.0m) handed a start at left-back.

The youngster has commanded a hold over that position during pre-season although it did come with the caveat of Palace’s injury issues.

However, despite the return of James McCarthy (£4.5m) to central midfield, displacing Jairo Riedewald (£4.5m), Roy Hodgson has kept Mitchell in the starting line-up. Meanwhile, Riedewald has missed out on a place in the matchday squad altogether.

As expected, Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) starts up-front as an out-of-position midfielder, and Fantasy managers may want to keep an eye on the fact that Eberechi Eze (£6.0m) is on the bench alongside Luka Milivojevic (£6.0m) and Michy Batshuayi (£6.0m).

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Dann, Kouyaté, J Ward; Schlupp, McCarthy, McArthur, Townsend; Zaha, Ayew.

Southampton XI: McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Walker-Peters; Smallbone, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond; Adams, Ings.

    A lot these price rises on fplstatistics will be people activating their wildcards to bring in Manchester players so won't actually affect the prices.

    1. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Manchester players aren't price locked.

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Wildcards don't affect price rises.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      More transfers than wildcard probably

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yep ..... and you wouldn't activate your wildcard til the round is complete, so wildcards not effecting prices wouldn't be in play yet.

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          You know all of the 6 million players on the game personally?!

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not proven anything for that pricetag

        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Would be nice for me. Mane as C, with Ayling on bench.

    4. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe 4 goals and 3 assists

  4. Misunderstood Genius
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Fraser Forster on the bench for Saints. Anyone think he could challenge McCarthy for the no. 1 spot?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      McCarty will need to be worse than Forster

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years

  6. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I was looking at the arsenal player list and saw Ozil in there. Completely forgot he existed

    How is he still at araenal?!?!?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He just refuses to leave. Absolute cretin

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        cretin is massively harsh

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I don't like him one bit. His attitude stinks

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

            Doing a Bale & sitting it out on £375k a week

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Knows he will have to take a pay cut if he leaves.

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Deservedly so, he plays at 50% effort levels

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      mainly because he's on about a billion pound a week

    3. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      he's milking that stupid contract we gave him

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        That was pretty bad. United got away with sanchez arsenal cant

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        So correct

    4. Chirsbom
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why is Bale at Real? Nobody else wants to pay their salary.

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Transfers for GW2 & GW3.

    1. Bruno

        THIS.

  8. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Fantasy Football Fix are predicting that KDB, Bruno, Willian and Gabriel will rise in price tonight and Martial tomorrow if they continue to pick up new owners at there current rate. I'd be surprised if it happens though.

    https://www.fantasyfootballfix.com/price/

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      They will dammn it. I cant swallow KDB double price rise

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I want Sterling anyways so no issues for me

        1. mgilbert86
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Considering both actually, Man city attacking stats are so far above anyone else it was actually crazy

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      'if they continue to pick up new owners at there current rate' - they won't

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes the site has been updated since I checked, KDB, Bruno, Willian and Gabriel rises predicted for tomorrow night now.

    3. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This is why you keep 0.5 to start the season, price rise are always unpredictable to start.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        KDB rising 0.2 is an issue anyway no matter you have 0.5 itb

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      This fear-mongering won't help KDB's price. Schrodinger's Cat.

      Relax everyone, he shouldn't rise this week.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Reasoning?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          You missed the point.

          By saying he won't rise, he won't rise. By panicking people into buying him, he may rise.

          So I'm saying he won't rise.

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He might rise 0.2m even at this rate. Most transferred in and Son is being sold by the masses. It's so obvious. If Mane/Salah blank the floodgates will be open

    5. Society
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Fernandes on bench GW1, De Bruyne already in for GW2 ..... comfy !

  9. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Relieved I took out Son for Ings + 0.5 with these price drops

  10. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Last season GW1 (c) Wilson 5pts
    This season GW1 (c) Auba 7pts

    Bliah.......

      Nice lil' differential !
      Well done !

  12. Tempestic

    Any clues whats going on in that Villa, United game?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      Watkins G

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      Going to be a pain if you have Mitro etc.

    3. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno red card

    4. Society
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Quarantined. We all get -3 for any villa or manU on our bench

  13. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I hope the players I own do well and the ones I don't do badly.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      why

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It's a revolutionary concept, I know.

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Hot take

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

      Breadbin will have that carved on his headstone.

  14. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    anyone else any insight into FanTeam price changes? they change randomly, but assuming it's based on points scored and not transfers in? no chance of a KDB rise is there?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I should have played the game

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        you get 70% of average points for a late entry all the way up to GW5 - I'm probably gonna enter one more with Manc players next week

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          H.mm. good one. Are you sure ? I'll do it then

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            yeah, 70% is way too many imo but that's what it says

    2. Strchld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think its similar than FPL. No points, buying and solding.

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Liverpool defense EO% over 100%? If we have only TAA, CS means red arrow right?

    1. Flair
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, combined ownership of 114.8% for the back 4 and GK.

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Leeds will score mate

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nahh

      2. ilikewud
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Okay...

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oh my. This game is becoming the Soffie's choice

          1. ilikewud
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Neat

      3. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This

    3. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      TAA attacking return should change this

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, that's why I said only the CS

    4. Society
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You'll have to explain this mathematical concept to me.
      That's twice I've read EO% tonight.

      1. Society
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Is it effective ownership ?

  16. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Very interested to see if Salah drops after this GW even if he scores because of Chelsea fixture and City and Utd assets being open

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If he blanks everyone will be getting KDB

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Nah, I prefer Sterling

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same could be said of Chelsea assets with the Liverpool fixture. If Werner doesn't impress, he might be shipped to Martial. I can see a lot of knee jerking and swapping between premium players early this season.

  17. King Drogba11

    What time are price rises typically ?

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wait till all the games are played

    2. g40steve

      2am

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah

      2am-ish UK time I think

  18. Dele

    Get me a bit of Smallbone

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's not small, it's just very thin.

  19. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I can't handle 0.2m price rise for KDB. If the transfers continue with this trendline I am getting him in Monday evening. Mitro and Son will drop 2 too so 0.4m is too much at 100m initial budget

    1. Giorgi89
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      IMO relax 7.5% target with all frenetic players having already done their FT... NO reason for him to double rise this week

    2. Chirsbom
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      And if Son lights it up?

  20. pingissimus

        More or less the opposite here. Casuals are people that hits auto pick and talk about the gameweek around the water cooler monday morning.
