Adams, McCarthy and Vestergaard absent as Saints host Liverpool

Che Adams (£6.1m) joins a growing list of inactive Southampton players as he misses out on a Gameweek 17 meeting with Liverpool.

The striker took a kick to the head against West Ham and is absent on Monday night due to a concusssion.

Meanwhile, Oriol Romeu (£4.5m) has suffered some issues with his calf, bringing Ibrahima Diallo (£4.5m) back into the Southampton team at central midfield.

Those two absentees join Alex McCarthy (£4.7m) and Jannik Vestergaard (£4.8m) in watching tonight’s game from the stands or sofa, who miss out due to self-isolation and a knee problem respectively.

The second-string nature of Southampton’s line-up is sure to encourage those who handed the captain’s armband to Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) in Gameweek 17.

The Egyptian is the most-skippered asset in the game for the current round of action although has blanked in each of his last two.

Liverpool are not without key players missing either. Following Nathaniel Phillips‘ (£4.0m) outing at Newcastle, Jordan Henderson (£5.4m) fills in at centre-back.

Southampton XI: Forster; Bertrand, Bednarek, J Stephens, Walker-Peters; Djenepo, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Armstrong; Walcott, Ings.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, Fabinho, J Henderson, Alexander-Arnold; Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wijnaldum, Thiago; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

    That awkward moment as a Chelsea fan when you're watching Liverpool lose but kind of need Southampton to drop points...

    Of all the transfers I have considered with my 1FT for DGW19, I think I may just cut my losses and do a straight swap TAA > Robbo. The kid looks finished

  9. Sim Simma

  10. CRO KLOPP
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    In my opinion,only one goal vs WBA is more suprising then 0 vs Saints

  11. g40steve

  18. BenDavies

    Too much to ask for a OMG KWP?

  19. Bruce Lee

        Soccer who?

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KWP has Mane in his pocket

    3. cbazza10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Chances of Forster playing in the DGW?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        McCarthy will be back

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      So it wasn't Big Sam magic. Pool really are that bad.

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Soton have been excellent

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Might do salah to sterling and not bother with salah for the double

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cancelo tends to force Sterling wide when on the same flank

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

      No yellow for Mane?

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

      It's not Pool. It's me. Tripled up on Pool for the last three
      ( Robbo, Salah and Bobby )

      1. waltzingmatildas

        Same here. Thought it was worth a punt!

      Mane not having a good homecoming at Southampton, so far.

    9. The Senate
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      HOW has mane not been booked? Two dives and two cynical fouls...

      1. The Train Driver
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Should be on 2 RCs so far

    10. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I might transfer in Pogba for Salah, can't believe I'm saying that

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Go. For. It.

      Who's taking a Free Hit for GW 18?

      I'm having Free Hit selection dilemma for my 3-4-3 MF.

      Tussling between Saka and Gundogan.

      The other 3 MF would be: Rashford / KDB / Bruno

      Who can help me?

      The rest of my team is:

      Lloris
      Holding Dias Dier (3.9/3.9)
      Rashford KDB Bruno Saka/Gundogan
      DCL Lacazette Kane

      Thanks!

      1. Sterling Malory
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Can't see a Spurs CS, would rather Son that Lloris and Dier.

        Downgrade DCL and Laca to fund him.

        Wilson should do well.
