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

    82 points all out - very nice for this week I think.

    Sa, Semedo & Jimenez paid off.

        Been reading and making many mistakes. haha

        Fomoing Bruno in after GW1 was probably my biggest mistake!

          It’s a game of ups and downs, congrats on a great week, even more upside when mosh have scored relatively low

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Got treatment but continued for a few mins, would be weird to do if it was a hammy. Looked like cramp.

      You’re fine…

      Shaw (if injured) >> Chelsea def

      Or Jota >> Chelsea mid

      Depending on CL lineups

    OR 18k

    Never been this high after 6 gws

      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I was 15k going into gw5.

      Then I gave the armband to Torres, and TAA the (vc).

      I got 38pts and dropped to 170k in one week.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes same here similar. 38 pys (got Gallagher to go) dropped 6k to 30k.

        But it shows how tight things are and a low scoring week it is in general

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      Try 2nd after 31 gameweeks if you want dizzy

  8. Shark Team

    Last week it was Rudiger now it is Jose Sa the hero of Sunday after a very bad Saturday

    Seeing many unfamiliar posters today. Must be Wolves owners who took the last week off

    1. @persecuted_by_mods

        Want some chips with that salt?

      • Walter White (WW)

        Some of us got bummed by Marcel rugby tackle last week

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yup, before that they didn't look terrible and Brentford aren't a joke anyway that result was definitely blown out of proportion

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

              True, look at fixtures for Wolves & relax

      • Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Annoying that the FPL site doesn't change or flag the games once full time has been reached.

        Most other sites change the score colour or something. It's not rocket science ffs

      • Ninja Škrtel
        • 10 Years

        Sa literally saved my GW. Duffy and Dier left.

      • Steve The Spud

        Sa owners go and get a lottery ticket

          My main ML rival owns him. I had a 30 point lead. Halved by that.

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 6 months ago

            He had good fixtures, they dominated 4/5 games against tough teams, people were writing them off as relegation candidates because of one bad game Vs Brentford, who incidentally proved yesterday that they are no joke

          • Baps hunter
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            They probably needed this and will need those pts later also. He was good, but Saints were extremely wasteful.

          • g40steve
            • 6 Years

            0/ hi Stv 🙂

          Sanchez
          TAA | Shaw | Marçal
          Salah | Gray | Sarr | Greenwood | Jota
          Ronaldo | Antonio

          Steele | Alying | Livramento | Scarlett

          1.4m itb and 2ft

          Shaw > Rudiger / Alonso (which?)
          Ronaldo > Lukaku

          Any other suggestions?

          Thanks chaps

          1. dshv
            • 6 Years

            Alonso, more fun and attacking threat

            You mean squared it

            1. FCSB
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Assist would’ve been fine, Traore should’ve checked his run though, the passage thru wasn’t there

        6. Stranger Mings

          How bad was semedo injured ?

            Cramp or try to waste time

          Livramento coming off my bench instead of Marcal at 2nd 🙁 Ill take the Semedo points though

          Really hope protesters block my route to work tomorrow. Would love to spend the day in my car picking my wildcard.

          1. have you seen cyan

            what are they protesting about, the environment?

              • 10 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              They probably dont know what the protest is they just show up

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

                it will be about the environment, but they wont consider the imapct on the environment they create by causing 5,000 cars to sit in traffic for hours. Same with cyclists "in doing my bit for the environment", what about the 45 cars stuck behidn you going 3mp whil you cycle up a hill

            hear me out

            Bamford/Shaw/Torres --> Lukaku/Sissoko/4.7 for defender (2FT with a -4)

            how does that sound ? would have liked to get Christensen at 5.0 but cant afford that

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

              It doesn’t sounds great to me. Would rather a premium defender and an 8m range forward.

          5. Shark Team
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Do we know if Bamford has a chance for gw7? Or he is gonna probably return after the int/nal break?

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Wait for bielsas presser on Thursday/Friday

                No idea. Will wait for Bielsa. If he's fit he'll stay.

                • 7 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Kane and Son to save my season

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

                  Sometimes you just gotta swallow your pride and admit you got it wrong. I was with you on Kane for a couple of weeks, but he isn't playing like a striker right now under Nuno

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

                    I fully intend to, but had Bamford to sort this week, and glad I didn’t hit with Ronaldo and Lukaku blanking.

                    Plus there’s always the chance he does fire, and then it’s a massive differential

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

                  Expect a haul from Son 🙂

              • 8 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Anyone considering Azpi as part of Chelsea defensive double up? Reece James possibly out means he could get game time at RWB. Great for baps.

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

                I’m still thinking the value is in Rudi and Alonso - saving some money.
                Azpi is the same as Dias and Cancelo and I think I’d rather them both.

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

                Was wondering this myself.

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

              Its still too early for next Gw but I would like to ask people who have watched Watford matches how is Sissoko playing, is he very defensive or he has some attacking threat in him?

              Wondering whether to start him vs Leeds or Gray vs Man United

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Got an assist that was ruled out yesterday I think

              2. Paqueta Rice
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Played a back 4 this week in defence and benched the only defender to get a clean sheet. Typical

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

                  That sounds normal playing this game.

              3. Calculated Risks
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Plan was always to get Lukaku in this week with Mane out.

                Who would you get rid of for Lukaku
                A) Jesus
                B) Jimi
                C) Antonio

                And who to get in for Mane? Candidates at present are
                a)Raph
                b)Tielemens
                c) Son (can only afford if losing Jesus)

                Or D) Keep team as is but will have Salah, Mane, Trent and Jesus for City v Livers next week which isn't ideal
