Broja benched as Hasenhuttl opts for Adams and Armstrong up front

Gameweek 11 gets underway at St Mary’s Stadium tonight as Southampton play host to Aston Villa.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Southampton, who have taken seven points from their last three matches, make just the one change as Stuart Armstrong (£5.8m) replaces Nathan Redmond (£5.9m), who missed training this week and is isolating.

That means Che Adams (£6.8m) and Adam Armstrong (£5.9m) lead the line again, with popular budget forward Armando Broja (£5.0m) a substitute after overcoming an ankle injury.

As for Villa, Dean Smith makes three changes from the side that lost 4-1 to West Ham United in Gameweek 10, as captain Tyrone Mings (£4.9m), Axel Tuanzebe (£4.5m) and Anwar El Ghazi (£5.7m) come in for Kortney Hause (£4.4m) and Jacob Ramsey (£4.5m), who both drop to the bench, plus the suspended Ezri Konsa (£4.9m).


GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

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

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

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Tuanzebe, Mings, Targett, Nakamba, McGinn, Bailey, Buendia, El Ghazi, Watkins

Subs: Steer, Young, Hause, Philogene-Bidace, Chukwuemeka, Archer, Davis, A Ramsey, J Ramsey

    Reece James top 10k ownership gone from 1% to 51% in a week. Baaah.

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

      His points would have put a few in there too.

      21 points in a GW like last with points so close is a massive swing.

      1. Mr. O'Connell

        Fair point

    2. Crunchie

      It is how they got there 🙂

    El Ghazi diving on a yellow 😆

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How does he get in the team

  3. el polako
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    El Ghazi should be out after 2nd yellow.

  4. boc610

    Bill Bailey would do a better job for Villa than leon at this rate

    1. Will Kane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Made me chuckle 🙂

  5. JurgenRodgers

    Exact funds for Vardy to Kane, but need to move tonight..

    Worth the risk?

    1. boc610
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      nope, leeds are a mess

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He'll play Leeds regardless, GW already in play.

          haha oh yeah, im three drinks deep...but a vardy hatrick and you still do it?

          1. el polako
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Probably not, would wait for post points price rises first and sell with profit.

            3 drinks only? You on litres of spirits.....

        Lol

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      I'd say yes, but I am prone to silly decisions.

    3. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t make a transfer with ninety percent of the games yet to kick off. That’s just asking for a couple of injuries.

  6. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Just thinking out loud - Foden or Gallagher since next week as Havertz replacement?

    Been set on Foden but Gallagher is tempting as hell, feel like he may match Foden for 2 mil less.

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Prefer Son, Foden, Jota and Zaha in that order.

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

        Have Son already but can do Havertz Raph to Foden Jota -4

    2. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gallagher is one of these players who will haul every fifth game with 2 pointers in between. Have you the patience?

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

        Maybe it is right, just his stats are good and fixtures looking nice as well

      2. Kun Tozser
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Depends if milli or aywe is playing

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

        And he will haul away to City when you have him benched

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

          Most FPL thing

      4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I do rate Gallagher highly, but agree completely with the sentiment

        There wasn’t a peep about him when he was busy going 2-4-2-2-2 on the way into the city game then suddenly he’s all the rage again afterwards

        Super player, and a great value FPL asset, but will generate a lot of “who do I sell Gallagher for” from the impatient majority after a few blanks

        1. Riverside Red
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          No one liner from you then

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Depends how wide your screen is

            1. Riverside Red
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              I-Max .....surprisingly

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Get Dune on it

                Some show

  7. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    This co-comm wants nothing more than an El Ghazi red card.

    1. Gonna mesut up
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, talking about it a lot. They're not wrong though

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        A player that clearly should have been sent off twice is pretty unusual.

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, how often do people get booked for simulation? And how often do we see a blatant yellow let go early in a match right after that player has just got a yellow card?

  8. Riverside Red
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years

    Livramento quiet tonight

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

      KWP the one if prices are the same now!

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        KWP 0.4 more

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

          That was poor pricing, him & the Saints look good though.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Queot is fine, more worried about all these Saints backpasses to Mccarthy- bound to go messy at some point and Villa will score.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can’t believe I’m benching another of his clean sheets!

    4. Spg76
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Massively

  9. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Villa completely outplayed.

  10. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Villa were a one man team looking at this shambles

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, what a player Gabby Agbonlahor was.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        🙂

        Showing your age!

    Only playing 1 minute over two games Armstrong > Toney was such an obvious move a couple of weeks ago, or so it seemed.

    Next two he starts and has a goal & assist.

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

      Yeah don't let selling Armstrong annoy you, he only got back in because of Broja's injury.

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

      Toney can easily score a few tomorrow at

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      What can ya do, them’s the breaks

      He was a very solid pick a few weeks back - even made it into the scout picks off the back of his potential & fixtures

      Then Lady Luck intervened

      That’s the way she goes boys, sometimes she goes, sometimes she doesn’t.

      That’s the way she goes

  12. EmreCan Hustle

    Must have been very easy to dribble past players in the Bundesliga or Bailey. This isn't the Bundesliga Bailey!

    Villa wagon a smouldering wreck, new fat controller needed

      Steve Bruce to cut short his holiday.

    Hi,
    How likely is it that there will be a double game week this side of Christmas?

    1. Steve The Spud

        Was there more to this message, or are you busy super polite and friendly? 😀

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No chance

  15. Make Arrows Green Again
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Do you know which Southampton player has the most advanced average first half position according to sofascore?

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      KWP ?

    2. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Walker-Peters?

    3. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yep and yep!

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years

        Watching the game, feel sorry for Matty Cash.

    4. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Come on get up off the sofa and tell us

    5. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      KWP, someone should tell Bailey because it seems like news to him too

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        My thoughts exactly, that space should be there for him to stake a claim on.

  16. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ronaldo is better without the ball than Leon Bailey.

    1. boc610
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      that's a head scratcher

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        My point is they are both completely useless without the ball, and their teams have 10 players when they don't have the ball.

  17. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    This is one of these games we should be a few goals to the good…

    Villa can’t be that poor in second half

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

      Yet it will finish 1-1

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

        You know it =[

  18. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not joking Villa's defence in the first half was Norwich level.

    1. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      They had no help from their midfield.

      1. 1984 TC
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Midfield must have been Norwich level as well.

  19. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Livramento CS locked in

  20. BeWater
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Alarming first half as a Livramento bencher. Will feel happy if he only gets 6 at this rate. Can definitely see him creating a big chance or having a good opportunity himself second half.

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

      Yeah I hope that we will avoid strange benchings this GW, have him behind Duffy on my bench

  21. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you bench?

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell Rudiger Livramento
    Salah Son Gallagher ESR
    Ronaldo Toney
    Steele Sissoko Scarlett

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

      Rudi?

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      ESR

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

      probably ESR next week

  22. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Southampton make you suffer. How do they generate all that energy for 90 min? No extra midweek games helps them a lot, not sure Hassenhalt can have same strategy for a team which plays every 3/4 days.

  23. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Soton CS please.

    1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      This 100%

    2. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      it will happen. Guaranteed. Villa are shocking.

  24. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What gw rank would u expect this team to get this gw?

    Sanchez
    Dias Chil James TAA
    Salah (C) Mbeumo Raph Havertz
    Toney Vardy

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

    Bit weird that Son has rose this week after 2 blanks in a row isn’t it?

    1. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bit of a shi**er, frankly.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Toney has had more rises than points recently which is weirder.

      1. AIRMILES
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I guess it's people downgrading Ronaldo, Lukaku and Vardy. Toney, Hwang, not many to choose from.

      2. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        A couple of years ago I doubt that would have happened, but the average FPL player is much more aware of fixtures now...

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Toney rose 4 times after 4 blanks! That is nothing.

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

        Oh wow that’s just stupid

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Already regretting benching Livramento. Villa arent scoring.

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

      Nice jinx

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, they pressed them a lot. Their Manager doing a great job there.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, benched him forever. I dont deserve him.

  27. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Starting Livramento over Antonio going well so far. An attacking return and I’m in dreamland

    1. Riverside Red
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can Villa be as bad in the second half

  28. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Livra getting that red card wou

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Would be bad.

  29. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Need Broja to come on

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

    I'm pretty surprised McCarthy's ownership is so low.
