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

    Jimmy seen Traore and knew he'd be better off shooting himself.

      Yeah I'll take it. He didn't deserve it though. He's been awful.

    Wolves' defensive bad luck in recent week evened out today.

      Nobody wants to be the next Brighton. Not even Brighton!

    Sa & Semedo kept faith after last week wc 🙂

      Nice.

        Needed after Marcel rugby tackle last week screwed me over.

          Same mate, played Semedo and Marcal last week. just Semedo today though.

            Got 2FT for some surgery which is not like me 🙂

    Jimi to Traore would have rounded that game off nicely. Happy he got his goal nonetheless.

    Coady CS on my bench unfortunately.

    Opinions on Wolves and Southampton about to do a 360 compared last GW. Lot of thinking here is very result based - me included.

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

      Hmm wolves had no threat and Jiminez scored a good but lucky goal (poor defending).

      Saints who don’t have a great attack still managed a lot of shots and good chances.

      Bit of a flukey 1-0 win

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

        Very poor result for us

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

      Both looked poor in attack. Both will finish somewhere between 7th and 17th this season.

  14. WVA

    Can't teach this, anyone ever had a worse GW?

    Livramento 2
    TAA 1
    Rudiger 1
    Shaw 0
    Benrahma 2
    Lukaku 2
    Ronaldo 2 (C)

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

      You're just a crap FPL player

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

        Harsh, players listed above are all great picks

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

          Seems to do awful every single gameweek for the last 52 gameweeks though?

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

            And his team’s not that bad, it’s just bad luck with timing etc. Nothing else to it really

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

              If you're 'unlucky' every single week for this long then I'm afraid you're just bad at the game.

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

              Don't worry about him matey he's been trolling me on here for a while now, just have to ignore it, makes some people feel better about themselves I guess, it's just strange in an environment where we all love football/FPL

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

      I am with you this week. 38 points one to go (haven't got lukaku)

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

        I won't make 30 all my rivals over 60 with that Wolves clean sheet

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

      My WC last week dropped me 300k no changes this week back upto 200k with Tierney to play 🙂

      Marathon not a sprint, don’t chase points.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah 50/50 call on Livra and Semedo backfired for me. Its a low-scoring week anyway.

        Fallen from 6k to 30k with 38 points. Shows how low scoring it is

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

          I would have back Soton to win that game

    4. OLEgend
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe me..
      Schmeichel 1
      TAA 1
      SHAW 0
      Barnes 1 lol I know
      Greenwood 2
      Ronaldo 2 (C)

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

      I’ve had a pretty good week apart from Bruno (C) tbf.
      Think we are just doomed this season.

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

        Glad you're having a good week! Gallagher to save my week lol another 2 pointer I think

    6. Calculated Risks

      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I see that Ronaldo/Lukaku combo did well this week 🙂
      I had:
      Gray 6
      Salah 14 (c)
      Sarr 9
      Jimi 8
      Jesus 8
      Antonio 8

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

        What about when it's happened every week for two season's?!

  18. Ógie

    Sa and Marcal double up delivers. 🙂

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      You held on then like me 🙂

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Hopefully they deduct Jimmy 1 more BAP in recalculations.

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

      So many brought him in this week including my rival. Wish I could have some of that kind of jam.

  20. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years

    Sa + Jimi 😀

  21. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Well I was right that I made a mistake in going Livramento over Semedo but I listen to people here too much so it's my own fault I guess

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible people here

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think most people picked Livra over a wolves defender because he was at home no? Livra wasnt a bad pick, its just the way the coin fall, he played better than Marcal

    3. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Did they pick good (C) for you at least?

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

      If you actually watched the game, you would realise Livra was indeed the right choice.

  22. Bavarian
    • 6 Years

    Jim 8 pts
    Semedo 7 pts
    Thank you both

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Aye, massive boost for our GWs!

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

      Sa 14 pointer says hi 🙂

  23. Gabistuta
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Torres, Jota and Pukki for Doug Luiz, Allan, Lukaku -4?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      thats so weak, you have Ronaldo already?
      Maybe consider Ronaldo>Lukaku but it doesnt need to be this week imo.

      You could do the ronaldo>Lukaku and get Vardy or something

      1. Gabistuta
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah

        Sanchez,
        TAA, Rudy, Tierney, Marcal, Liv
        Salah, Raph, Sarr, Jota, Torres
        Pukki, CR7, Antonio

        Way I see it 2-3 at risk players for 1 starter and bench fodder but wondered others opinions

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

      you are bringing in 2 bench fodder for this??

      1. Gabistuta
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, Torres has 0 minutes in 2 games, Jota and Pukki minutes at risk. Lukaku to be capped, team above.

  24. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Now the game is finished, can we talk about Jota and Greenwood?

    Jota - Bobby back, City next. Bobby maybe starts vs City? Im sure Jota will get some minutes moving forward, and he can score with just 15.
    Greenwood - Feels liek rotation is looming, doubt he gets benched vs Everton, but its a possibility.

    Thinking of ditching one or both? Probably leaning towards Jota out as I dont like the City fixture

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

      I’m definitely thinking one out this week and both if I wildcard

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        on wc I think I would ditch both for sure

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

      Both when i WC gw 8. Just glad i got a WC to get rid. I would do it next week, but don;t want another ITB fiasco

    3. popey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Personally I'll probably keep Jota for Watford as allows me two FT the next week. Might even play Gallager over him for the City game as already playing TAA/Salah.

      Greenwood I think is a keep until he's dropped - Sancho seems off the pace, Martial doesnt seem to be trusted and Rashford might take a while to get upto speed

  25. Flair
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jimenez, Marcal and Semedo. Lovely.

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

      Oh very nice.

  26. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Can semedo cling onto 1 bps?

  27. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    62 points! thank you very much Sa and Marcal. If Jimi had passed to Traore at the end would have been icing on the cake but looking good ahead of their home game against Newcastle next week.

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

      Well done. Didn't have the stones to start both of my Wolves defenders vs Southampton lol.

  29. FOO FIGHTER

    Well done Wolves owners is all I can say.

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

      I'll take jammy Marcal points but i feel a bit dirty.

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

        Meh. Could do with Duffy being dropped tomorrow as it was Semedo I left on the bench 🙁

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

          I left Coady on mine 🙁

          Heh you can handle a touch of bad luck as you are good at this game, besides, Duffy could yield a return vs Palace.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      Thanks. Sa and Semedo owner here.
