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.

    Martial, Werner, Mitro —> Ings, Jiminez, DCL (-8)?

    Yay or nay?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No need for Mitro imo out but I like the rest

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

      No, play WC

  2. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno & Werner > Sterling (c) & Ings (-4)

    Why not?

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

      Sure about losing Bruno?

      1. Coys96
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        The plan was always to get Sterling and cap for Leeds. Wasn't impressed at all by Bruno despite the 12 points, so yes, I am sure.

  3. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which transfer would you do this week? Have KdB.

    A. Bruno to Sterling
    B. Watkins to Ings

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Both if u can but I'm guessing u can't afford so A (but B if u won't cap sterling)

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'll cap Sterling if I get him. Jimenez Vs Fulham if I don't.

    2. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      B

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm leaning towards it too. Any reason why?

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

      No rush to get Ings. -3.8% on FPL Statistics. People still selling him. Wait until Monday

      1. Chandler Bing
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I'm not pulling the trigger now. Just looking for opinions.

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

    Ings is world class and I won't be told otherwise

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

      He is

  5. Shark Team

    Werner sellers making another big mistake. Not waiting to see Chelsea playing 4-2-3-1 with Pulisic Havertz Ziyech behind him. You are gonna get punished my friends

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

      When will it happen? In a month?

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

        Surely after the int/nal break maybe earlier

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

          I've learnt over the years that constantly waiting for injured players to return is bad bad idea. I remember when Howe kept saying Stanislas was back next week over and over again so I held him for over a month.

          Be aggressive. Attack the week. Get rid of him and be done with it. You can get him back later.

          (Non Werner owner)

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

      Could a little while yet though. Ziyech and Pulisic haven't even appeared on the bench yet, let alone built up match fitness.

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

      how long before they're back and match fit though?

      nobody's saying you can't buy him back cheaper later. so many free-thinking FPL savants on here ffs xD

      Werner was awful with his touches and shot, and was not involved much during the game. Will see how he play in the next few games before anyone will put their faith in him again.

    5. Ghost Ship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Haven’t had him but I look forward to buying him if/when he starts firing. Until then Danny Ings is delivering, jimi is delivering, there is no reason to have him.

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

      The mistakes have all been made by Werner owners.

    7. Hospital Pass
      • 6 Years

      Haven't we been punished enough?

    8. MrZ
      • 9 Years

      After Tammy goal, will he keep his place as CF?

    9. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sold Werner after GW1 ... "punished" with 20 points from Richarlison

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

        I talk about this gw GTXS

      2. stat sifter 888888
        • 3 Years

        I did exactly the same. Since regretted not going for DCL lol.

    10. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      You mean 4-2-1-3? Can't really imagine Werner being a lone striker and holding it up and he plays much better with more support around him. I know it's a small difference tbf.

    Thoughts on this Wc team?

    --Martinez--Steer.
    --TAA--W.P.--Lamptey--Justin--Mitchell.
    --KDB--Salah--Son--Jrod--Alzate

      Very good. Who is W.P.? I wouldn't want to rely on Villa goalkeepers go.

      Not so much "fire and forget" as "fire and hide behind the sofa".

        Make your own decisions

        What happens if VVD gets a cleanie, goal and max bonus? Still annoyed?

      • Coys96
        • 6 Years

        You take care of your own team. They didn't log in and pick the players for you

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

          Martial and wilson

          To

          Rich and Ings

          Worth ti? Already have dcl. Both my players falling in price

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

          Adams shot into touch

        5. LewanGOALski
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I own both Martial & Werner and have 1FT.
          Should I drop just 1 or 2 for a hit?

          DCL, Jimenez and Ings are the ones I am looking at as replacement/s.

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Similar question below. I think Werner to one of them 3. I already have Danny

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

              not Martial out before Werner..?

          2. abhirup780
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Do nothing

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

            All valid but those Jimi fixtures swing it for me (from Werner).

            Jimi rising, Martial dropping says Martial to Jimi tonight and then you have time to decide whether to hit Werner (although he'll prob go down fairly fast reading the boards today).

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

          Best FT move with Werner? Jimmy or DCL?

          McCarthy
          TAA, Saiss, Justin, Davies
          Salah, KDB, Rodríguez, Zaha
          Werner, Ings
          (Nyland, Bissouma, Mitchell, Davis)

          1. Coys96
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Jimmy for me

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

            As above either valid but fixtures scream Jimi.

        7. Manani
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          my pre-WC team scoring more than my WC team. At least I saved like 1m+ of TV

        8. Ninjaa
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Is it time to ship B.Davies after this gameweek with Reguilon challenging him ? It would be to either Saiss or R.James????

        10. CheesyZoot
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          If Ings makes it through the 90 mins unscathed, worth just pulling the trigger on Werner?

          I just know sods law will see Werner bag a brace V Palace

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

            Yeah, Werner is gonna drop like a stone now.

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

            Its the right move. If Werner does score more, so be it.

            • 5 Years

              • 4 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Ings I think is the logical choice, I have DCL and Jimi

              Ideally I would want Jesus but no news on when he is back?

          Everyone just hold your horses getting Ings before the game is finished. Don’t forget he is still has legs made of glass. They have just been double glazed for a couple of years.
