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.

    Guys couple of questions?

    A. Is it wise to keep WC one more GW to have it during international break?
    B. Davis to Jimenez (B1) or Richsrlison (B2) for free? Have DCL and JRod but will probably get rid of both on WC.

      WC during IB's are overrated. Play it when your team is sh!t

    McCarthy, Button
    Trent, Robbo, James, Vineger, Ayling
    Rodriguez, Son, Salah, Havertz , Soucek

    1. RamboRN
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Swapping havertz and werner could be enough

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

    What about 6 pen takers + DCL as attacking line up?

    Salah KDB Klich Bruno (Burke)
    Wood Maupay DCL

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

    Guys Martial to Jimenez now for free???

    1. All For One
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      For what?

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        For grouping together to disregard a person with a different opinion. One which goes against the sheep mentality of this website.

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I went without Werner so very happy and thank you

    3. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years

      Are you going to post this on every page?

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        It deserves to be, but no, i won't.

    4. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      Based on this game? Like Jesus would do better in a Chelsea shirt

      There's so many arrogant people who reply back just to try and tear you down on here. Guy posted a while back on the treatment he got before the season started for being a "casual" bc he picked 4.5 defenders and then he was laughing bc he turned out to be right. Don't listen to people who are stupidly and unnecessarily rude, not what this country is renowned for.

          I don't think enough watch football without FF specs on. They trust stats over watching games.

        Hope you're not referring to this guy https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2020/09/22/save-potential-and-improved-villa-defence-boost-martinezs-fpl-appeal/?hc_page=10&hc_sort_by=comment_date#hc_comment_22496565

        Wouldn't link his team and had a posting history of all of five minutes.

    0.4itb 1ft
    McCarthy
    TAA Robbo Taylor Justin
    KDB Salah Podence Havertz
    Werner DCL
    (Peacock Ayling Bissouma Vassilev)

    1. RamboRN
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1 weeks ago people could have picked your team on a wc. I would do werner to Jimenez.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers for the input.

  7. Easy Cheesy

    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mccarthy, nyland
    Taa, kwp, dier, awb, james
    Sterling, jrod, saka, doucoure, podence
    Kane, jimi, werner

    Saka and doucoure gonna fall this evening and werner will fall during the week. Awb, mccarthy and kwp could all as well!

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yes I would. Change McCarthy, KWP, Dier, AWB, JRod, Saka, Doucoure and Werner

      1. Easy Cheesy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Think you are right

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Defence alone is worth a wildcard You will feel so much better when you pull the trigger.

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

    Clearly you cannot go without Penaldes and VARchester?

    Should have just kept him lol.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me too. Hey ho.

  9. Kasper the ghost keeper
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Sell which one first?
    A) Martial
    B) Werner

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Neither, both will get some sort of returns next week I think

    2. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No cs for Burnley and a Chris Wood return of any sort would be a lovely way to end the day..

    3. Red Red Robins
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My attack is Jimi, DCL and Werner, wanted Jersus but hes out so stuck with Werner. Would you swap Martial for Werner? Saves me 0.5, possibly 0.6 if he drops?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ings

      2. RamboRN
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Martial wasnt great either, though he should improve.

        1. Red Red Robins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Plus it gives me man utd coverage

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

      Frank saying it’ll take another 2 games to get up to speed, sell, sell, sell

      Goodbye Timothy.

    6. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner to Jimenez
      Or
      Wilson to dcl

    7. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I miss Waxys

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

      Do I need to give in and Wildcard this?

      McCarthy*, 4.0
      TAA, Davies*, KWP*, Justin, Mitchell
      Salah, KDB, Son, Podence, Bissouma
      Werner*, Martial*, Davis

      Was going to do Davies -> Saiss as my FT but Werner and Martial and literally ruining my season. Or Davies, Werner, Martial -> Saiss, DCL, Jimenez -8?

      1. 2OLEgend
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I would take the hit and save the WC

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

      Kane or Jiminez for Werner?

      He looked awful today and Abraham will be starting next GW with Werner on the wing again I fear

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

        I think Jimenez for me as it allows me to get Robbo for Davies also.

    10. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Che Adams due a minimum of 2 goals today

    11. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner 36% owned...let's see what it is by the end of the week

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

        26% with a price rise.

      2. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        3.6%

    12. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well the one positive is that Reece James got a bonus point. Quite literally.

    13. SomeoneKnows
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Would you take a -4 hit in order to save 0.2 on team value and be able to transfer Soucek > Foden ?

      Also which is the best

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

        best

    14. bitars
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Martial to Jimenez worth a -4?

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

        No

    15. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Prepare for a Che Adams brace.

      Got rid off him on a wc

    16. Jässi
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      So many problems with my current squad, but would like to hold wildcard one more gameweek for international break:

      McCarthy - 4.0
      TAA - KWP - Davies - Holding - Mitchell
      Salah - KDB - Hamez - Podence - Reed
      Werner - Ings - Mitrovic

      How would you proceed?

      A) Werner to DCL tonight before price changes and transfer out Davies later this GW for -4
      B) Werner to Jimenez tonight before price changes and transfer out Davies later this GW for -4
      C) Give Werner one more week and only transfer out Davies with 1 FT
      D) Just wildcard already

      1. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Werner is far off from falling tonight. You can think about it tomorrow imo

        1. sunzip14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          only -29 atm. Don't blame me if that magically becomes -100 in a few hours though 😛

    17. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Only getting Werner back after Pulisic and Ziyech return and team is settled

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

        He’ll be a lot cheaper then too

    18. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Cmon Chazza Taylor. Keep Dings quiet!

    19. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      INGS GOAL
      ADAMS ASSIST

    20. Rainer
      • 7 Years

    21. TomSaints

      Meh I’ll take the Adams points. Shame it’s Ings.
