The Ings injury latest after Grealish and Ward-Prowse underscore FPL credentials

ASTON VILLA 3-4 SOUTHAMPTON

  • Goals: Tyrone Mings (£5.2m), Ollie Watkins (£6.0m), Jack Grealish (£7.3m) | Jannik Vestergaard (£4.6m), James Ward-Prowse (£5.8m) x2, Danny Ings (£8.5m)
  • Assists: Grealish x2, Douglas Luiz (£4.9m) | Ward-Prowse, Theo Walcott (£5.8m), Che Adams (£5.8m), Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m)
  • Bonus: Ward-Prowse x3, Grealish x2, Ings x1

A late injury to Danny Ings (£8.5m) accompanied a seven-goal thriller at Villa Park, where the hosts’ late comeback almost overhauled the first-half masterclass from birthday boy James Ward-Prowse (£5.8m).

The 26-year-old set-piece maestro supplied the cross for Jannik Vestergaard’s (£4.6m) opener before two beautifully executed strikes of his own gave Southampton a 3-0 half-time lead. Ings soon made it a 4-0 humbling, until Jack Grealish (£7.3m) delighted his high ownership with a late goal and two assists.

However, the late knee injury to in-form Ings might prove to be the biggest consequence of this Sunday lunchtime clash. In the 83rd minute, the striker went down holding a knee after his leg gave way. Treatment ensued, before the striker was replaced by Shane Long (£5.2m).

Ralph Hasenhuttl said of his in-form forward:

We know his history with his knees and hopefully, this is not too bad to be honest.

It didn’t look good. He overstretched his knee and this is always dangerous.

I hope it’s not too bad. But immediately he shouted ‘my knee!’.

Hopefully, this is not a bad injury. It’s not swollen or something at the moment, but we’ll have to look tomorrow and scan it.

INGS INJURY FEARS

Going into Gameweek 7, only a trio of strikers had amassed more points than Ings. Despite a pre-season price hike, he still provides a reliable option up front and, after notching 22 goals last season, scored his fifth of this campaign by receiving the ball from Stuart Armstrong (£5.5m) and curling a wonderful strike into the top corner past Emiliano Martinez (£4.8m).

Supplemented by the two assists he provided against Everton last weekend, Ings is consistently delivering attacking returns in a team capable of scoring in any match.

His FPL managers will be praying the injury isn’t as bad as first feared.

JWP’S BIRTHDAY PARTY

For a long time, it looked like Southampton would consign Aston Villa to another heavy home defeat following the 3-0 loss to Leeds that ended their 100% winning start. A reality check was on the horizon for Dean Smith’s side and the prospects of Grealish and Martinez started to look grim.

Ward-Prowse could have provided another assist, had the third-minute own goal of Ezri Konsa (£4.7m) not been ruled out for offside. But it wasn’t long until defender Vestergaard rose high to powerfully head home the opener – his second in three games.

Southampton’s captain has always been a steady scorer from midfield – grabbing five, seven, three and four goals in recent seasons – but never an enticing FPL asset. Yet his 33rd and 44th-minute free-kick goals add to his strike against Everton, putting him on two consecutive double-digit hauls.

He might even be back on penalties, should Ings be ruled out for an extended period of time.

“I went in at half-time thinking it was never a 3-0 game – let alone 4-0 when Danny Ings sticks one in the top corner. We found our rhythm in the second half but that’s what we should have had in the first half. Credit to them because they stopped us getting any rhythm.” – Dean Smith

Southampton may have won but Aston Villa had far more goal threat – their 10 attempts on target exceeded the visitors’ overall shots total.

CLEAN SHEET WIPEOUT

Before this seven-goal spectacular, both sides entered proceedings with good defensive records. Their three clean sheets apiece had only been topped by Wolves’ four – made even more impressive because Villa had played two fewer matches and three of Southampton’s had been in the four games that followed the 5-2 collapse against Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 2.

At 4-0, owners of Alex McCarthy (£4.5m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.5m) would have been confident of collecting another shut-out. Yet Villa found life in the second half, forcing McCarthy into good saves from Trezeguet (£5.4m) and Grealish as momentum was growing.

The goalkeeper ended up with seven saves but couldn’t prevent Tyrone Mings (£5.2m) heading home a Grealish corner. That is Mings’ third attacking contribution of the season and he had another chance late on, making him a consideration if Villa return to defensive solidity during their upcoming games against Arsenal, Brighton, West Ham and Newcastle.

Behind him, Martinez is FPL’s highest-scoring and most-selected goalkeeper, boosted by his penalty save against Sheffield United. He wasn’t at fault for any goals here but made no saves either.

Grealish was impressive all match, even before the late goals. He had the most goal attempts and penalty area touches, as the above table shows.

GREALISH LIGHTNING

McCarthy seemed to ride out the storm with further saves from Trezeguet (£5.4m) and Douglas Luiz (£4.9m), as the match approached injury time. There, Grealish was fouled in the box and Ollie Watkins (£6.0m) scored the resulting penalty, before the new England international added his own strike minutes later.

It was too late to salvage a remarkable draw but will remind FPL managers that Grealish is his team’s talisman and the epicentre of their attacking play. Even during Villa’s first-half failures, he passed the eye test. Looking bright, Grealish was slipped in by Matt Targett (£4.5m) early on but the shot was deflected wide. He enjoys being the star player of his boyhood team and, in a time of rotation and pandemics, such security of starts is a big appeal.

It’s just a shame he wasn’t on all set pieces. Ross Barkley (£6.0m) provides an interesting cheaper route into the Villans’ midfield. With consistent minutes and free-kick duties, the loanee scored in wins over Leicester and Liverpool but couldn’t add to his tally this time.

There was discussion amongst the FPL community that Barkley might even be taking their penalties, although that doesn’t seem to be the case as he was still on the pitch when Watkins took his spot-kick.

“You cannot play better than what we have done in the first 60 minutes, and in the end, when you concede the first goal, then you start thinking a little bit and it’s normal. The legs are getting heavy and you are struggling, then it’s overtime with another six minutes and you concede the second one and are thinking ‘ooh, hopefully, we win this game.” – Ralph Hasenhuttl

CHEAP STRIKERS

The £33m signing from Brentford is also an interesting route to Aston Villa coverage. For those wanting to pack their midfield with a combination of premium assets, Watkins is a cheap striker with promising fixtures.

His hat-trick during the incredible 7-2 victory over Liverpool put him on people’s radars and, despite having a quiet game here, he still came away with points. If it is time to remove Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.8m) or downgrade the likes of Raul Jimenez (£8.5m) and the injured Ings, he could be the one.

As could Che Adams (£5.8m). A potential dark horse heading into Gameweek 1 – following his four goals from the final six games of last season – the frustrating Adams had the underlying stats of a successful striker but hadn’t scored in the first four matches.

However, since his goals against Chelsea and Everton, Adams isn’t under-performing anymore. He even fluked an assist for Southampton’s third goal here, as his cross-field pass was bafflingly palmed away by Matty Cash (£5.0m). Ward-Prowse then scored the free kick.

Adams left the match with an assist despite having no shots on goal or touches in the penalty area, as his heatmap above illustrates. Perhaps this balances out the early Gameweeks of underachievement.

This was also the first time that Adams completed all 90 minutes, although he’d have likely had his weekly late substitution had it not been for Ings’ knock. His starts are set to continue, with a home match with Newcastle up next.

In a match of goals and injuries, both Bertrands were hurt – with Ryan (£5.0m) and Traore (£5.9m) picking up hamstring and muscle issues respectively. Jan Bednarek (£4.5m) was replaced at half-time after landing on his head during an aerial challenge.


Aston Villa XI (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Cash (El Mohamady 67′), Konsa, Mings, Targett; Douglas Luiz, McGinn; Traore (Trezeguet 29′), Barkley, Grealish; Watkins

Southampton XI (4-4-2): McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Vestergaard, Bednarek (Stephens 46′), Bertrand (Diallo 79′); Armstrong, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Walcott; Adams, Ings (Long 85′).

        Martinez - 4.0
        Robbo - Saiss - Kilman - Lamptey - Targett
        Salah - Son - Jrod - Barkley - Soucek
        Kane - DCL - Maupay

        2FT, 0.9ITB, what should I do here?

        1. The Head-Ake
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Saiss + Maupay + Jrod to Brewster + Ziyech + solid def

        2. Blue&White85
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Saiss to Coufal and save a free transfer? Those transfers & extra cash will come in handy for when the fixtures turn for Man City & Man Utd.

          1. Blue&White85
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Obviously this depends on news for both Rodriguez & Maupay. I wouldn’t jump before you know more in them.

          2. JfA
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I liked Coufal but if you use the comparison tool then Cresswell is by far the better option.

        3. andres
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Saiss and Maupay to go.

          I like whm/ che defenders. Upfront wilson/ bamford?

          Cheers lads. Saiss and Maupay the clear favourites to be sold, thanks for the suggestions.

        Ings injury isn't good for Adams IMO

        1. stu92
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          My thoughts also. Had lined up Maupay to Adams for this week but thinking twice now.

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            I'm waiting for Antonio

            1. stu92
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              The shortlist had actually been Adams and Antonio, but Antonio’s injury is making it an easier decision.

        2. Karan14
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Big blow for Soton

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Interested to see how Ralph deals with this, he's a capable manager but losing your talisman is a massive blow.

        3. Firmino
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Let's see. Maybe they change to 4-2-3-1.

          1. Party time
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Ralph is too stubborn. He won’t switch from 442 to 4231. He loves that 442 system & personally, I think if they switch they will struggle to score more goals. 442 is actually their best

          2. Party time
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Walcott/ Obafemi can play that role

          3. SpaceCadet
            • 10 Years

              Wait to use WC before IB. Dw, only 7 GWs in, no big deal.

              3 years, 4 months ago

              I did use the wildcard and am at 2.6million! I’ve found this season to just be so unpredictable and difficult to manage, I won my ML by about 80 points last year and am already that many points off top spot!

              1. LC1
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Very similar position here. 2.8 after WC and 85 points from my ML that I won comfortably last year.

                It's a vey, very strange season!

                Keep plugging away and I'm sure you'll make ground soon!

            Missed Chelsea's game. Was Ziyech really good?

            The stats & heatmap tell a different story.

            1. The Head-Ake
              • 7 Years

              Really has been. Seems like he's involved in all goal-creating opportunities. Real magician tbf.

            2. Vazza
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              He created one big chance and got an assist.

              Had one shot on target and scored.

              Not sure whether he would have been this lucky on another day.

              I wouldn’t buy but that’s my opinion

            Only fielded 9 players this week with the late Davies cameo! Is this hit worth it or is it time to WC with my backline?

            Pulisic+Davies >> Ziyech+Cresswell (-4)

            McCarthy
            Chilwell, Saiss, Justin
            Salah, Pulisic*, JRod*, Son, Grealish
            Kane, DCL

              • 3 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Justin is likely to lose his place soon with Pereira back so that's another issue, not worth a WC though.

            Planning on a -4 with 2 FT this week.
            Saiss - Coufal
            TAA - Hector B

            9.1 to play with for a midfielder.
            Who is the best bet at this price ?

            Feeling either Bowen or Ziyech.

            Any advice?

            1. King Kohli
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Ziyech
              Grealish
              JRod if fit

              In that order imo.

                I like Ziyech, Could also do Jiminez to Werner .

                1. King Kohli
                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  That's another solid move.
                  Can see Chelsea scoring a few in the next couple of games.

            2FT 0ITB

            Thoughts?

              J rod and Podence to Grealish and Bowen? Think you may be a tad short, maybe barkely instead of jack?

              1. Flair
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Rodriguez ain't going anywhere with those fixtures. Barkley is an interesting shout, thanks. Looking at Bowen at .3 higher myself.

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

              Something that looks good on paper but may also backfire:

              Sterling + Foden -> Ziyech + Rashford.

              1. Flair
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Interesting, I'd like to stick with City in hopes of the GW10 run though. Will probably fund Rashford through Kane if I want him but need to see a lot more from United.

                  • 11 Years

                  Zouma instead of Chilwell.

                2. Karan14
                  • 7 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Could go Zouma/Cresswell over Chilwell.

          11. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Lateriser did TAA + Semedo + Jimenez to Chilwell + Ayling + Kane - 4:
            2 + 8 + 2 to 6 + ? + 6 - 4:
            12 to -8 + ?

            So needs at least 4 pts from Ayling to make him net neutral.

            People still looking to bring in untied assets this week - Bruno specifically - or reconsidering due to lack of form?

            Thanks

              Not to fussed this week, Everton will be a tough game for United.
              Will look from gw 9

            2. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I'd stay far away from United assets. Arsenal showed how easy it is to neutralize them yesterday. Just mark Bruno and don't play a high line so Rashford can't utilize his pace.

              That said, this has been clear since Ole started and opposition managers still play into his hands constantly

            3. Flair
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Reconsidering, I don't want to make the mistake I did with City, waiting for them to "spark into life" - who knows when that'll happen.

            4. Pinturicchio10
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Not a bad shout this week but I wouldn't be in a mad rush to bring one in. They'll probably beat Everton but doubt they trounce them.

                1. No Professionals
                  • 6 Years

                  Everton will have richarlison, Rodriguez and digne back. Got to fancy Everton.

                  1. Pinturicchio10
                      3 years, 4 months ago

                      I don't. Richarlison won't be back.

                  I guess I'll wait another week and consider them for GW9 after the performance yesterday.

                Does the presence of Ziyech make Werner a better FPL asset?

                Considering Werner(c) for Ings this week.

                1. farmerfat
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  I am concerned that Tammy got the nod over Werner. Think it was just tactical to battle Burnley?

                  But yes, I think Ziyech makes all of the Chelsea atttackers better options

                  1. King Kohli
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    Yeah Werner was going to be rested I feel due to Burnleys style and him playing a lot of games including for Germany.

                    Expecting him to be benched in CL this week for his rest.

                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    Werner is an excellent choice, Sheff Utd have been poor defensively looking at the underlying stats and watching games. Wish I had him, feel like West Brom will concede 2 at most as Jose looks to conserve energy.

                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  yes but Werner remains a rotation risk atm. Bringing him in is differential enough, wont captain him

                  Just start captaining the poll leader each week

                  It’s not exciting but it will mean you start to gradually increase rank

                  Ings injury not looking good... also really want Trent out lol- maybe wait till next week.

                  Got 2FT, which one to favour:

                  A) Ings + Stephen’s —> Brewster + Ziyech/JRod (bench Brewster and move to 3-5-2)
                  B) Ings + Trent —> Werner + chillwell
                  C) other- suggestions?

                  Team:
                  Martinez
                  TAA* / KWP / Lamptey

                  A) Pulisic & Maupay out
                  B) Semedo/ Robertson -> Chilwell & Pulisic out
                  C) Pulisic & Maupay out and Semedo/ Robertson -> Chilwell (-4)?

                  Bonus question: which defender to bench? Robertson, Semedo, Lamptey, KWP?
