Traore and Trincao benched as Lage makes changes for Southampton clash

Gameweek 6 continues with Southampton hosting Wolverhampton Wanderers at St Mary’s Stadium this afternoon.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

The Saints makes one change from the XI that drew 0-0 at Manchester City last weekend, with Mohammed Salisu (£4.5m) replacing Jack Stephens (£4.5m), who is set to be out for up to three months with a knee injury.

That means another start for budget defender Tino Livramento (£4.2m), with Adam Armstrong (£6.0m) and Che Adams (£6.9m) leading the line in Ralph Hasenhuttl’s 4-2-2-2 formation.

As for Wolves, Bruno Lage makes three changes from the side that lost 2-0 at home to Brentford in Gameweek 5.

Adama Traore (£6.0m), Francisco Trincao (£5.9m) and Ruben Neves (£5.4m) all drop out, with new-signing Hee-chan Hwang (£5.5m), Daniel Podence (£5.5m) and Leander Dondoncker (£4.8m) replacing them in the starting XI.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.3m) is unavailable because of concussion protocol.

GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Livramento, Bednarek, Salisu, Walker-Peters, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Elyounoussi, Redmond, A Armstrong, Adams

Subs: Forster, Perraud, Valery, Lyanco, Diallo, Tella, Djenepo, Long, Broja

Wolves XI: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Marcal, Hwang, Podence, Jimenez

      i should mention i'm dropping arnold for this.

      1. TheBiffas

        start again... 🙁

  2. @persecuted_by_mods

      Does marcal think defending is doing blatant fouls and trying to get away with it, such an idiot

      1. Critical Observer
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Much like Reece James yesterday, until his unfortunate injury.

    • Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Elyounoussi getting in some good positions here.

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, that triple letter score for the Y will come in handy….

        2 years, 7 months ago

        Downward bending goal would be good.

    • Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I benched Grealish (and Torres) in favour of Livramento, ESR, Odegaard and Tierney (and Kane and Jimenez). Do me proud, Sunday bois!

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Fair play. I brought in ESR this GW with Son and Toney. Grealish was unlucky not to get attacking returns v Chelsea

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

      Hwang is not a winger.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hwang on, are you sure?

      2. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        He's a Hwinger.

      3. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No, he’s a Hwanger…

      4. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hwankers

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          😀

          This could be a new team name. Hwankers FC

    • Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      armstrong looks dreadful, what have I done

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        he's like dennis, he'll get returns

    • Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Gt a feeling tbis wolves game will be 0-0 and my coady clean sheet will be stuck on the bench! Because the fking adama will come in and get 1 pt.arghhh

    • Irish Villan 1985
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Thoughts on Shaw, Grealish, Jimenez to Silva, D.Luiz, Lukaku (-4)?

      Sanchez

      Trent, White, Silva, Williams

      Raphina, Salah, Sarr

      Antonio, Lukaku, Ronaldo

      Subs: Bachmann, Livramento, Luiz, Brownhill

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        David Silva and David Luiz don’t play PL Football anymore

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I remember when i first starting playing FPL when Silva was a points machine during his peak powers in that early City side. He was the Salah of his day.

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

        christensen a better pick than thiago silva

    • Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Semedo playing winger most the time!

    • DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Podence is so poor.

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        First start I think. Will get better.

    • DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Have TAA and Rudiger. Who to get for 5.0:

      A) Christensen (Chelsea double up)
      B) Matip (Pool double up)
      C) Cash (great fixtures and more attacking than A and B)

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A

    • La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Just logged in.

      Has Livramento destroyed Wolves yet?

      1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yea, on 2BPS.

        1. Stupendous
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Early days. I'm an owner.

          Hopefully something from both him and Semedo

      2. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hardly

        Semedo is the dangerous one of the two

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I bench that sod…
          Gulp

          1. Stupendous
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            He should have scored inside 5 minutes but can't shoot for s

            Right at McCarthy

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              I don’t think he ever scored a goal lol

        2. fish&chips
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Got both. Expecting 1 point each

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

        Can we just take our Livra and/or Wolves cs points and move on? No need for goals.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Seems to be a shitfest anyway

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

      Morata out for the Chelsea match. Advantage Juventus.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        How come is he out?

        Also Dybala got injured

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

          Don't know. Good time to play Juventus at least.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            They are shocking and leaking at the back

    • FCSB
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Why did I pick Jimenez as a Bamford replacement 🙁

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Because others need their ranking to be improved

        1. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Ouch lol.

        2. FCSB
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          So charitable

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            😛

    • Kodap
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Who’s the best Torres replacement? 7.9m budget..

      Also thinking about Marcal > Dias so would have a budget of 6.3 if I make that move too.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Everton mid? Saka has decent fixtures.

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

        do both moves then get sarr or benrahma in

      3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Saka in that case

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

        Sarr, Saka & Gallagher

    • Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      This is so boring

    • Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      don't rush back if you're at the garden centre

    • OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Score prediction for Traoré 🙁

      1. Eddie

          Me too brother. Hopefully on at half time the say this is going, or not at all (won't happen)

    • Who are all Lukakus
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      WC activated. I want to have a strong bench to deal with an anticipated difficult season.

      Sanchez Foster

      TAA Cancelo Alonso Rudiger Livramento

      Salah Raphinha Benrahma Sarr Brownhill/D.Luiz

      Lukaku Antonio St.Maximin/Toney

      1. grumpyman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Like it. Probably because it’s Identical to the team I just wildcarded to except I have Armstrong in the cheap striker spot.

        1. Who are all Lukakus
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah I have 7.2m for the 3rd striker spot. Watching Amstrong to decide to bring him or not, good fixture coming.
          Had Toney since the start, so I might keep him to recover the price loss.

    • Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Hope wolves get relegated. What a painful team to watch. Changing the channel

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed

    • Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Without Doherty, Johnny and Jota there doesn't seem to be the supply line that Jiminez once thrived on.

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Right!

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

        There's nothing. It's almost as though they've been instructed to bore the opposition into complacency . There is no positive creativity. At all.

    • @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Wow jiminez is really suffering from a lack of confidence, looked like Bambi on ice there

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

          Can't keep giving him chances when he's detrimental to the team.

      • Alexis Nonsense
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Imagine if Wolves had one clinical striker, they would be par with Liverpool on top right now

        1. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          You're living up to your moniker there...

        2. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          That's it...

      • N00B
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I saw the highlights of the Watford - Newcastle game. Anyone on Raphinha (c) for next week?

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

          Tempting if not for the fact he'll only last 60 mins

        2. Hairy Potter
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Newcastle should have been out of sight by half time. Lots of chances created.

          1. Hairy Potter
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Though Lukaku against this Southampton defence looks very attractive.

            1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              Man, Southampton kept CS against Man City and GOAT Antonio

              1. Hairy Potter
                • 9 Years
                2 years, 7 months ago

                Their defence looks poor today, but Wolves attack woeful so far.

        3. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Isn’t he injured?

        4. Eh, just one more thing ...
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          I think, as long as we get some very good news on his injury issues, it’s a perfectly good shout … he’s currently my VC … which will change depending on pressers.

      • boc610
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        its understandable after what happened to him but jimmy has def lost that killer instinct. looks in two minds after getting in to good positions.

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Really hoping it's a lack of confidence that will just return with goals and nothing more.

      • Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        This game is definitely ending 0-0. Wolves have no idea what a goal even is.

        1. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Should have start coady and not traore damn

        2. Gunneryank
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          As long as they can defend the mighty Southhampton. I for one, hope this putrid woeful attacking play continues.

      • DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Podence, again, absolutely woeful. Atleast he’s making Lage think about bringing Traore back in 🙂

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

          Hwang ineffective on the left. Jimenez wasting chances. Podence having a mare.

          Jimenez off, put Hwang Central. Traore on. Podence can be shifted for Trincao when ready.

      • Eh, just one more thing ...
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        If you are going with one cheap Everton mid for next 5-6 games … which one?

        Doucore
        Townsend
        Gray

        Thank you …. I expect plenty of replies as the match is rather dull ….

        1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Townsend with Penalty

          1. Harry the Hack
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            he won't have penalty when richarlson is back

        2. Letsgo!
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Am already on townsend since the beginning

        3. griffzinho
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Doucoure I chose. Has two ish 130 point seasons from 2017/2018 and is in a better team, with more attack potential + is a better player now. Could do 150-160 pts for 5.5M which is great value!
