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.

      2 easy

    3. Buck The Trent

      Do you have Taa/Robbo in 1?

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I have TAA & VVD currently

    4. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      None are brilliant options. Losing Hamez for a hit looks rash. But if those are the only options, then B).

    5. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      2

    Wood owners learning the harsh lesson of u get what u pay for in fpl. Simple

    1. Jullepuu
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I mean he scored 14 goals last season

    2. Pia06rc
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What was the lesson when he scored last GW?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Dont chase points

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Then you're contradicting your first point. We'll be chasing points selling Wood for someone else now wouldn't we

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Not if u get soneone who blanked

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

              Lesson - always buy players who’ve just blanked

              Cheers for that

              1. Zimo
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                😆

            2. Zimo
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Ah yes get the guy who just blanked. Lovely

  3. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years

    McCarthy on 2 baps ;₩

  4. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is this what it's coming to, praying that Southampton can go 30 more minutes without conceding?

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Let's not pretend FPL has ever been about anything else

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This. If you haven't begged for a 0-0 in a game like Burnley vs Southampton then have you really been playing FPL?

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

    Charlie Taylor looking like Roberto Carlos there

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

    McCarthy on for a 9 pointer

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      *8

    2. MSTRKRFTSMN
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’d rather be didn’t have to face another shot and take the 8

  7. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I started both Taylor and McCarthy - wasn't sure who to shout for there

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Taylor

  8. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Please bust that CS wide open.

  9. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Werner owners keeping?

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Shifting to Jiménez. He will come good eventually, but I’d like to see Pulisic and Ziyech back before I’d go there again.

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Moving to Jimmy

    3. Pia06rc
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Probably keep him until he hauls, even if it takes til gw38- he owes me!

    4. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nope. Bad fixtures coming and played out wide. Sold and will reevaluate later with pulisic back

  10. Doctor Evil
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    People done with Werner now? I didn’t see the game

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      For now, other forward options looks more dependable. DCL, Richarlison, Ings, Jimmy. Price tag looks slightly rich whilst he’s yet to find his form.

  11. adstomko
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Let me get this straight:

    A referee can give a penalty after he blows for full-time.

    A referee can give offside if his headset is broken, despite a player being onside.

    Ridiculous. I'm fuming (Wood owner)

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      still dont know why they didnt overturn that

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The whole system is a mess

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

    Massive McCarthy haul.

    The best 4.5m GK?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lol

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

      Changes every week.

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      he will concede (owner)

  13. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Che Adams goal before substition would be wonderful

    1. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  14. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Could really do with a Burnley goal here. McCarthy and KWP still very popular...

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Taylor can score it

  15. TheShack
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Which two would you pick out of these four?

    Ings
    Kane
    Rich
    DCL

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

      Ings and DCL.

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

      Ings & your fav toffee.

    3. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ings, DCL

    4. Pedersen
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Jimenez...

    5. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ings and Kane

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

      I think Jim and DCL my priority, 3rd could be Ings/Mitro/Maupay

      1. TheShack
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks for response guys, i was thinking them two anyway. Was tempted by Kane.

  16. R.C
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Nvm Wood was slightly off

  17. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Whens the inevitable burnley goal coming? The sooner the better as a Mccarthy owner. Cba with it being 85+

    1. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      76 mins

    2. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years

      96th minute pen

  18. Hulk Smash
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    KWP looks awful

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Got rid off McCarthy and Adams on a wc

  20. Concrete
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Lamptey or Taylor ?

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Both?

      1. Concrete
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ha.... I need to get rid of Vinagre to get Jimmy

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lamptey

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      Lamptey

    4. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers all

  21. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I have Egan and Davies
    A) Sell Davies and keep Egan till gw5(FUL(H)) then sell him for another Def
    B) Sell Egan and risk that Davies will stay in Spurs lineup somehow then there's no point of getting another defender later but if he doesn't then you have to play 4.5 mid

    Who to buy:
    A)Chilwell(the only one I trust to keep his place in Chelsea Def)
    B)Saiss/Semedo
    C)Reguilon
    D)Castagne

    *Want a long term option
    **Davies price fall tonight

    Thanks a lot!

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sell Davies. Egan isn’t at threat of losing his place. Would bring in Saiss.

      1. Shark Team
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks a lot. This is probably what I will finally do but maybe risk the 0.1 because you never know what will happen tomorrow in WHU-WOL ?

  22. aleksios

    Wc time-thoughts? 0.2itb.

    -Martinez-Nyland
    --TAA--KWP--Lamptey--Justin-Mitchell
    --KDB--Salah--Son--Jrod--Anguissa

    Thanks guys.

    1. The Sociologist
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Considered Hamez to a lower price point mid to accommodate a Wolves defender over KWP?

      1. The Sociologist
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Such as Foden perhaps?

    2. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Doesn't need WC imo

  23. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I have McCarthy and Taylor with KWP on the bench. Not sure how I feel!

  24. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So people are selling Rodriguez after his blank, for who?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      kneejerkers

      probably for March

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        What a load of cobblers.

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I don’t have him but if I did I’d keep

    3. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If I understood one thing those 3 years I'm in there... Is that a big percentage of people are crazy and deluded

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      definitely keeping.

    5. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He looked very good vs. Palace

      So I guess sellers don't watch football

  25. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Oh lord help me.

    Who to sell 1st??

    Havertz
    Martial
    Werner??

    1. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Not sure *

    2. JBG
      • 5 Years

      Martial.

    3. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      i've been trying to work out if martial definitely drops tonight, or if WCs are swaying it and i can hold on till after tomorrows matches.

      can't find any stats on WC per day to compared the martial's ownership.

      1. camarozz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Martial ➡️Jimi I think is the obvious move?

        1. Leonard hatred
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          if i didn't already have jimi, i'd be doing it.

  26. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Worst start to FF I can remember...

    Should I hit the WC ????????????????????????????

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

    Clearly I need KDB and Jimi...

    3. XabiAlonso

      If I could give any advice to someone for their week 1 team it would be to have no more than 1 new player to the league

  27. pulpy77
