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.

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

    I’m .2 short of getting Rudiger what’s the best option

    A Thiago Silva
    B Christiansen

      Depends where you're getting the C from. If it's from an option you're hesitant to lose, B is a pretty decent option if you have an okay bench.

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I’m looking at doing Traore and Reece James out.

        Want Raphinha and Rudiger but .1 short not .2 actually.

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Good moves, but wait to see if Raphinha is fit for the weekend.

    Bamford owners are you holding or selling?

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

      Holders have to wait for an update now.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Holding until more news.

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

      Holding. Fixtures are great for weeks.

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

      Holding unless there's news that he's out for weeks. Also got Shaw and James to deal with.

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

      Will wait until pressers

    6. Daniyal
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      waiting ...might even consider keeping if he only misses 1 more week ..

    7. Dammit_182
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I’m holding, it’s a 2 week break after this so either he’s back fit or I sell then. Which I might do anyway for Watkins.

  3. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best defender 5.6m and under?

    Alrdy own rudiger trent livramento Duffy

    1. zes
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      James if he is 5.6 or under (I think he is exactly that price)

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Broken & usually benched

        1. zes
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          He has a knock and yeah if he was nailed on in that Chelsea team he’d be 6.5m+. You get what you pay for and with a decent bench I think he’s worth it (especially for the kind fixture run)

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Shaw will start getting double digit hauls once you all sell. If his injury is not serious, I'd consider him.

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

      Wolves one if you like them? Arsenal? Another cheapie as Livramento is playable in a 3 after the IB.

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

      Maybe Tierney?

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

      Creswell/Coufal or White

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

      Matip

    7. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Semedo

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

      whoever plays wolves

    9. Daniyal
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Christensen
      Good fixtures for a double up

    10. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Tierney.

  4. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Unpopular opinion.

    Declan Rice is not worth the 100 million Westham are asking for him. I'm a man U fan and would rather have Bissouma for less than half that price.

    Ole signed Sancho as a priority signing yet benches him to play Pogba on the wings. Wouldn't trust his insistence on getting Rice. Would probably bench him for McFred.

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That's not an unpopular opinion

    2. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Is that unpopular? Rice is a good player but no where near 100m good.

    3. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It's the English markup that's putting that price-tag on him. Same thing with Grealish.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Grealish is a generational talent though

        Sancho is ‘merely’ a good player

        1. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, but the "generational talent" has to materialise first.

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

        Grealish is an elite player. Rice and Sancho are not

      3. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Grealish is actually worth 100 million looking at what United paid for Sancho.

    4. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      United’s problems are much deeper than dm. They’re whole recruitment strategy seems to be bringing in big names who generate lots of kit sales, attention, etc. The likes of Klopp, Pep and Tuchel all have a clear system and buy players to fit that system. Ole on the other hand tries to get a system to suit the players at his hand. Never going to challenge for the Prem like this

    5. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think Rice is very good and still very young. I'm sure United fans would give back Sancho if they could get Rice instead.

      1. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Not 100 million worth though.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah I agree. Neither are 100m players. I actually think Grealish was fairly priced/sold.

          By the end of the season Guardiola will make Grealish one of the best players in the world imo.

      2. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        lol no

    6. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Leicester buy Maguire from Hull for peanuts sell to United for 80m

      Leicester buy Mahrez for 400k sell to City for 60m

      Leicester sold Drinkwater to Chelsea for £35

      Leicester know how to balance the books 🙂

  5. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I must be missing the Rudiger love. L

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Looks like a red card waiting to happen

    2. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      nailed on like Dias at city.

    3. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nailed
      They never concede so 6+ a game
      Costs 5.5
      Decent goal threat

      Hasn’t been sent off

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Annoyingly costs 5.6

  6. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Salisu has improved so much comparing him to the time United thrashed them 8 or 9-0

  7. jay01
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    This game is about finding the next trend rather than chasing last weeks scores. For this reason, I am considering Ronaldo to Kane from gwk8.

    Am I crazy for this? Kane hasnt scored a single goal but i expect that to change soon with those fixtures coming up

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

      Absolutely not. I'd just make sure you have Lukaku in place before Kane, if so, fire ahead.

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I have the holy trio of Mo Lukaku amd Ron atm.. might switch short term when Ron has city / liv / chelsea

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Is the next trend getting 2 points?

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Lol maybe not gwk8 but on the fixture turn surely kane outscores him?

    3. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Only problem is you fall off further if this fails.

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        True but i go by gut feeling

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Points return not trend. Ronaldo hasn’t massively delivered yet but has been a massive trends

      Wolves players, trend but no return

      City defence has points return but still not a trend

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Good points, i meant point return sorry

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

      don't do it. he won't score much under Nuno.

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe one to monitor.. maybe gwk 9 / 10 instead

    6. MARVELLUS
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      This is how i felt when I got Jimi.... When a differential doesn't pay off it is not good.

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Kane is levels above Jimi

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

      Apart from Newcastle, their fixtures don't look that interesting to me

      1. jay01
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Look at the run compared to utd

  8. Rainer

  12. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

  22. Rainer

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years

      same here

  24. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Livra's been awesome. can be such great value if sou keep ticking away with cleanies and he can bag the odd goal/assist

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

    Saints so free around Wolves' D.

  26. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Are those saves counted even after the offside call.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      First counts.

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

    Saints goal is imminent

  28. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    As a saints fan and only with Sa this is painful.

    Really need a win, but Sa 11 pointer would be great.

  29. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …

    End to end stuff here.

  30. Thinkering like a Boss
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Shaw > Alonso/Rudiger worth -4?

    1. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, over the stretch.

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

      Yes I put in Cancelo and Rom for -4, tricky with Cl games coming up but wanted to avoid price rises and I like my back 3 of Taa Cancelo and Alonso
