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.

    My best start ever in FPL. Got lucky having Ings, Son, KDB from the start, not having to use my wc, and not getting drawn into the Man U and Chelsea traps.

      Lol basically the opposite to me.

      Long way to go.

        Really? I hadn't realised that.

        Or is it a Winston Churchill moment?

    Not going well at all this season. Transferring out ings for martial was a horrible move.

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

      Ings always punishes when you sell him

    2. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would never have done that. I went Werner

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

    Werner to Adams?

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

      Totally

  4. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    no assist ?

  5. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Told you guys... Ings > Jimenez

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

      Will do Werner to Ings after the games finished.

  6. Gobigorgohome

    Ings faces WBA next GW..

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

      Then Chelsea! Incredible fixtures.

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

        this

  7. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Let’s face facts, we all should have played it simple and started this season with jimi and ings

    1. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Werner essential. I believed the hype when I had a perfectly good team already. Grrrr

    2. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yup, I had plannes to start with Ings and Jimi but got swayed by 40% ownership. I started with Ings but will be rectifying the Jimi mistake very soon.

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

    Havertz to Ings? Exact cash

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

      2ft as well?

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

        No. But Chelsea giving me nightmares

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

          He meant they play 2 different positions.

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

            Did he? Sounds like he meant it means 2 ft needed as will need to do 4.5 at to Ings and havertz to 4.5

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

              Well that was my understanding, there's difference if you do transfers for free or for -4 as well.

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

    Werner/Martial to Ings (WBA) will be a popular move.

  10. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I hate Ings and DCL - if I own them they never ever score. If I don’t own them they get 10+ points

    FPL is infuriating some times isn’t it

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

      Ings gets jam goals. Stupid defensive errors (like Pope just there), never penalties, which are given (e.g. vs Doherty)

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

        You cant deny his quality though, always hustling and bustling around the box. Typical fpl player.

      2. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The first goal against Spurs was a quality finish

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

          Lloris shoulda saved. NIce shot though

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

          It was world class.

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

    What's the estimated captaincy for Werner, anyone know?

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

    Ha ha ha. Sold Ings GW1, Adams GW2. DELETE TEAM

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Well deserved

  13. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner facing palace, or Ings facing WBA? 1FT... just brought Werner in on my WC, second captain fail in a row 🙁

  14. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    My non-WC team is flying. Knew I should have kept hold of Ings who was being slept on with those fixtures and off the back of a brace but I went with the herd. Dire week so far and the rest of my team has high ownership pfffff

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

    James and Werner stinker on WC.

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Same on non WC.

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

      James will be fine.

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

    Ings to Martial last week worked well.

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

    Wow. Danny Ings v West Brom. Tasty.

  18. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Will Podence starts tomorrow?

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

      50/50

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

      No because I own him

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

      I'm leaning towards probably not, as no smoke without fire but that's a guess.

  19. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    If Jiminez scores tomorrow, awesome. Lots of confusion, lots of options.

  20. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Love Ingsy! 🙂

  21. Planet Jo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    We're going to have to pay (a potentially crucial) £0.1m to wait and see that Jimenez doesn't get injured tomorrow, aren't we?

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

      Not for me. A Jimmy with one leg will score more than Werner.

  22. AD105
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner to Ings or Jimi?

    Already have Podence

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

      Versus Fulham or West Brom? That’s really your question.

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

        West Brom for me.

      2. AD105
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Whoever I bring in, would want to keep for the mid-term at least

  23. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Feels so good to dump Werner and Martial on WC.... never again...

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

      Cue Martial hattrick next week. Juhuuuu

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

        guarnateed...

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Never say never

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

      Looking forward to hearing the draft on the podcast.

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years

        😛

  24. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    85 mins til Martial to Ings is confirmed

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

      Works on contingency. No money down

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Work on contingency? No! Money down.

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I went Martial to DCL already.

  25. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Somebody convince me not to do Werner > Ings.x

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm fairly set on doing martial to ings, and unlocks rodriguez(the king of the AA)->son for WHU in GW 5

      waiting to see if he gets injured or sent off, thats probably the only thing that can stop me switching them.

      could afford vardy, but i don't like his face.

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

      V West Brom. No I doubt.

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

        *wont.

  26. shiraz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner to ings, who is with me?

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

      Got to be done. Werner is nowhere near the goal a lot of the time

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

        Thanks, need that vouch. Was thinking of mitro/ings/wood/rich. Have DCL and Jim in my team

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

      I am doing it

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

      by the looks of it, 100% of sheeple.

      hence it'll turn out to be a rubbish transfer

      1. Planet Jo
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ings and Jimi at 8.5m (Ings actually 8.4m) look like the best value to me. Maybe Rich at 8.0m.

        1. Planet Jo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oh, forgot DCL. But going forward would rather have Rich.

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

            Rich also taking pen so worth the pick. But i have dcl so i will just go for ings

    4. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd be with you hit I have Martial too so I'm doomed to failure. Stuck at 4m OR since opening day.

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

        But*

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

        I would keep martial and dump werner. Martial was more involved in the team play, but werner was literally invisible

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

    Werner to Ings HERE WE GO!

  28. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Waiting for the game to finish, I do Werner to Ings. Enough of this cr*p.

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

    Just like Son last week and Bruno this week, Werner will burn a lot of people in the next 2 weeks.

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

      Chelsea are playing really badly.

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

        Chelsea just scored 3 goals playing really badly

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

          Coming from a 3 goals down after keeping 3 strikers on the pitch against a promoted team who are relagation battlers. Not convinced yet.

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

      It's between he burned us or he got burned.
      Will want cheaper him at some stage.

    3. Planet Jo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      People been sawing that since week 1

    4. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not when he’s playing left back he won’t
