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

    Congrats to Sa owners, thing fpl dreams are made of.

        If he keeps the cleanie it is, if he doesn't it's a good return but what could have been

      • diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not as good as that Ederson assist to Aguero against Huddersfield.

      • DandyDon
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yep 14 points if he holds on is like having a triple wolves defence rather than just double (marcal also). shooting me 800k up the rankings currently! Will be gutted if Southampton score!
        Even though they cost me last week they have a good chance of doing somthing similar at home to Newcastle next week to so happy days.

      Semedo on my bench is really bad

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

      So that’s 6 saves, 7 points plus any bps if Sa concedes

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

      I’m sensing a saints missed penalty to get Sa to 20 points

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Owners have already had a huge lump of jam, don’t give them anymore

      People saying Jimenez should be dropped earlier. Lmao, FFS never fails to amuse.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah 1 in 6 he’s on fire now

        Although I agree

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, because his teammates have been firing them in lmao.

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

          Yes,because he had head injury for 8 months. I would like to see you recovering from that

    6. Tabasco
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      White or Semedo to Rudiger?

      1. Mighty Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        White/Semedo both have a fairly good run of games, I'd probably look at issues elsewhere in the team

    7. HD7
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Really hope Wolves concede. Choose Livra over Marcal for this GW

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Opposite for me lol. Livra starting isn't a bad call though. I almost did.

        1. HD7
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Tbf I was also thinking of starting Marcal. Most people here replied Livra so I decided to try with him.
          You win some, you lose some:)

      KWP VAR Red?

      Seen them given...

      1. Rainer

        Luckily no heavy contact.

      Shane long, haha where’s he been?

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Nowhere since he left Reading.

    10. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bear in mind I am a neutral: just how good is Hasenhuttl really? I constantly hear praise, but...

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Overrated. If he was British he would have been sacked by now.

      2. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Never rated him tbh

      3. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I think he’s doing ok, they’ve sold 2 of their best players this season bare in mind

      4. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Overrated at first, to now underrated

          Opposite of mount who was underrated at first then became overrated to correct for it

        • GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Doing good with a selling club that'll rarely finish in the top 10.

      5. Ruinenlust
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Need Wolves to concede

      6. dark91
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        KWP running before the referee thinks about booking him 😀

      7. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Dier to be taken off in the 70th at 0-0 and Arsenal to score 3 in the last 20 minutes.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I'm hoping for those random high scoring derbies we sometimes get between spurs and arsenal but with Nuno at the helm it's hard to see where entertainment comes from

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

              Arteta pretty negative too.

              I'm predicting a low scoring snorefest.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Sadly yes, but you never know

              2. GreennRed
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                1-1. Two poor defences, attacks are nothing great either.

            2. ANGRY PERSON
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Romero ain't that bad

            2 years, 6 months ago

            Any word on how long Bamford is out for? Ideally would like to keep for that fixture run if it's not longterm.

            1. FCSB
              • 8 Years

              No word

              No update yet, Bielsa will be honest at least in his presser.

            Armstrong is dreadful

            Would love Tierney to get an attacking return today…

            not sure if i'd rather be a jimi owner than double wolves defence owner. would rather have points in the bank i think!

          • Kodap
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            What’s my biggest fire to put out here?

            Sanchez
            Trent - Rudiger - Marcal
            Salah - Jota - Torres - Gray
            Bamford - Antonio - CR7

            Bench: Steele - Livra - Sissoko - Williams

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Torres or Bamford. How long is Bam out for?
              You could play Williams or risk playing Livra

              Torres well, does he start mid week etc

            2. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Looks good. Torres. Bamford if he'll be out for a while.

          • have you seen cyan

              Has he even touched the ball since coming on?

                • 9 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                I don't think he did

          • Gunneryank
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Wow Sá is a towering force of a goalkeeper.

              • 4 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              He’s having a good game today, was at fault for a couple of goals this season already

          • DandyDon
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            nerve racking stuff this!

            Picking Traore on WC my most stupid decision in recent history

              I just went with sarr.

            Watching Marcal try to defend Livramento is super cringe.

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years

            FFS if Semedo is injured, I could have done Semedo/Ronaldo > Cancelo/Lukaku last night, but they rose...

            1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Find it strange how Cancelo rose when they have Liverpool nexr

                It's not weird at all, you know the reason.

                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Would expect Chelsea defenders to rise instead

                • 2 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                He's emerging as a great choice. He has been all season really. Most are catching on to this now.

                • 3 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Many people just see he's top of the points charts for defenders. He could be playing Brazil 70, Milan 1990 or Barcelona 2011 in his next 3 and it wouldn't matter.
