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.

    Am i the only one thinking you may as well keep werner for the next game as after the IB hopefully the injured chelsea players be back could boost his appeal

      I mean I'm thinking about it because there are other fires (martial) - I think Jimenez might be too good to ignore for the next few fixtures though.

    2. Sterling Archer

      I'll probably keep, if puli is nearly fit they become alot more dangerous, then ziyech close aswel

    Is Werner or Martial the biggest priority to get out? Martial about to drop tonight + worse fixtures makes me think it has to be him. Not to mention he looked awful.

      Got the same two and thinking I should just hit the WC! Also have double SOU def and Brewster....

    2. Debauchy

      Yep Martial going first

    Do you feel like luck evens out for you over the season in fpl?

    1. Piggs Boson

      It depends how well I do. If I do bad, I think the game is all luck and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous. If I do well, then it has nothing to do with luck and it's all skill.

      At the end of the day all you can do is tilt the odds in your favour and cross your fingers. More often than not, things should land.

    I held off before this GW but this lot needs a WC now right? Or is there any way to salvage?

    Bavies, Werner, double SOU def, Martial, 3rd non-playing striker, no Jimi or Ings.... the list goes on

    Oh and I’m currently sitting at 3.4M OR 😆

    1FT 1.5itb
    McCarthy*, Steer
    TAA, Davies*, KWP*, Taylor, Mitchell
    Salah, KDB, Rodriguez, Podence, Soucek
    Werner*, Martial*, Brewster*

    Cheers

      Team looks ok to be fair

      Werner or martial to ings

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just losing too much ground now

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I would say so

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Losing too much ground now. Never been this low before ever!

          Same here... had a really decent season last year. Now on 3.6M

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years

      the only real issue with your team is Davies

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Main issue is how much ground I’m losing. I agree some of these players aren’t major issues but they also aren’t really scoring FPL points and I’ve never been as low as 3.4M OR!

        1. Dr. Rog
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          rank is meaningless right now. we are only 6% into the season.

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            In reality I know you’re right. Not easy to internalise when everything’s going wrong lol

            So you’d still leave the double SOU def for now?

          3 years, 6 months ago

          I've managed to reach 3.4m now, up from 4.3m this morning ... Just 3 points away from 3m, and 15 points away from 2m

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            It’s a fair point! Just depressing myself lol

    Werner > Jim now to catch Jim's price rise?

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you've exact money then yes!

      1. Pep Roulette
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        In case you're doing another transfer along with it

    2. Babelcopter
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      yes

  6. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    23 from 5! Decent returns!

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Is it? From 5?

  7. Royal5
    • 12 Years

  8. TFP

    • 13 Years

    any danger that KdB will rise tonight??

    1. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's not danger if u already own him

  9. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    im guessing many taking out werner now, but something to bear in mind is they did score 3 goals against both brighton and west brom. not bad considering their attack hasnt clicked yet

    Werner to DCL or Jim? Leaning towards DCL.

    1. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I could actually do Werner Adams to DCL Jim for a hit with 0.1 ITB.

      Have your replacements for those 3 played yet? I WC this week and am 11 from 2 so far. I had Ings already and kept him on WC though, him and Jim the front line with no DCL.
