Southampton make one change for trip to injury-stricken Burnley

Ralph Hasenhüttl has made just one change to his Southampton side as they travel to Burnley in Gameweek 3.

The Saints were opened up time and time again in a 5-2 home defeat to Spurs last Sunday but, despite that poor result, Jack Stephens (£5.0m) is the only player to lose his place.

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.5m) comes into the back-four as Stephens drops to the bench, while key Fantasy assets Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.5m) retain their starting berths in defence.

It is also an unchanged attacking setup for Southampton as Moussa Djenepo (£5.5m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) provide the width for Danny Ings (£8.4m) and Che Adams (£5.9m).

Meanwhile, Burnley are painfully short of key players once again, especially in defence. Sean Dyche is forced into pairing Jimmy Dunne (£4.0m) with Kevin Long (£4.5m) at centre-back.

Dale Stephens (£4.5m) makes his debut in central midfield, while a shortage of wider options pushes Josh Brownhill (£5.0m) onto the right.

Chris Wood (£6.5m) leads the line, as per usual, but injuries to his team-mates means a first Premier League start of the season for Matej Vydra (£5.0m).

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Dunne, K Long, Bardsley; McNeil, Westwood, D Stephens, Brownhill; Vydra, Wood.

Southampton XI (4-4-2): A McCarthy; Bertrand, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Walker-Peters; Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Armstrong; Adams, Ings.

    You all think Werner will drop in price tonight?

    Well played Werner cappers!

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

      I'm getting rid regardless. He will ruin his growth playing under Frank. Shocking!!

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It’s just too early to say that but he seems very lightweight. Needs to play in the middle

      How many has your captain got this week?

      • 9 Years

    Nice survived not having Werner, just need KDB and Sterling to blank.....

  11. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    James = 3 goals conceded, YC but on 1 bonus... Defies logic 😆

    Let's go KWP!

  13. Chilli Heatwave

    Think Havertz is worth keeping after that?

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

      I'm wildcarding him out

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

        If he was going to cost you a transfer would you?

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

          Probably not tbh

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

            Yeah fair then. Think will consider greenwood at some point but will keep for good fixtures

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yeah, looked good as a 10

    Erm any chance Werner gets dropped maybe? Or plays wing again? That was just dreadful from him.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's real fixtures v form stuff. I'm struggling to hold him.

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ings time?

      2. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I’ve just brought him in for Jesus, I should have gone for Vardy. But I’ll keep him for the next 2 for sure, he will hit the ground running at some point.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner wont be dropped no chance, he needs time that would be bad for his confidence.

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Okay, hope that’s true. And hope he plays up front for the next 2, cause that was shocking

  15. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Wow yep James does get us a point after all lol. That was so frustrating to watch as a James owner ffs.

  16. R.C

    Where are all the Werner cappers???

    1. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Here

    2. Party time
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I would expect them to be asleep by now

      • Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Right here. Crap show that was. Went with gut and got shafted for it

      • BoleynWin
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It’s difficult to sift through the childish boring posts like this to get into any worthwhile discussion on here at times.

        Werner capper here, kept him on a wildcard. Keeping him for the next two and will reassess. Poor returns today but it happens...

    3. sully29

      VAR has been good today, another correct call on the Chelsea handball.

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

      Hmm i see no one complaining about that handball and yet when United got a penalty everyone went batsh!t crazy

      1. Keep Calm and Play On
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I’m a Chelsea fan and that was BS, clearly states that if a ball touches an arm and leads to a goal it is disallowed

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

          I don't even mind. Chelsea can have the goal. I just don't like the hate United gets even when it's a legitimate call.

      2. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        People hate United. Even when they get a stonewaller people complain. I said it earlier but at this point, I hope they get thirty penalties this season and every one from here on out is the wrong decision.

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

          Hahaha that'd be hilarious

        It was because 96:30 was on the clock.

    5. Peteex

      How the h**l is James getting a bonus point???
      Yellow card and 3 goals conceded

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

        Passes, recoveries, chances created, cross spamming.

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

      Gtfo of my team timo. He wont even get 5 goals this season playing the way Frank plays and utilises him. Awful.

    7. Bartowski

      Avram Grant slowly lowers himself back into his coffin, my time will still come he mutters to himself...

      1. MSTRKRFTSMN

        Excellent

    8. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1 from 3 and double saints defence to come

      KDB captain triple hattrick needed tomorrow to salvage this

    9. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      Chelsea somehow keeps getting 0 saves from goalkeepers

    10. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Points from the match 0

      Bonus after points 1

      Meltdown inc 😆

      1. HollywoodXI

        It’s a bit ridiculous to be fair.

    11. Better luck next year
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner > Jimenez decent move for GW4?

    12. Jones Kusi
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Time to sell Werner?

    13. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner to Jiménez or Kane? Can only get Kane tonight before Werner drops

    14. FPL AXE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      James...conceded three goals, isn't involved in a goal or assist and still gets a bonus point

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

        Don’t forget booked as well. Laughable.

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

          Good point!! WTF!

    15. Keep Calm and Play On
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’m all for taking off a defender for a striker to go after a goal but Tammy just made the same runs as Werner all game, leaving him now choice but to come into midfield to get the ball. Then when Giroud came on it was even worse, we just clogged the area and left no space for Werner. If that’s Lampards plan for him he will never reach his potential and is out of my team ASAP

      Might be getting Ings back in for Werner a week after ditching on my WC lol

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

        Yeah, the only interest I have in this next match is seeing how Ings looks as a Werner replacement.
