Southampton v Liverpool team news: Klopp decimates Fantasy squads

Liverpool travel to Southampton this evening knowing Manchester City will be champions if they lose.

Kick-off at St Mary’s Stadium is at 19:45 BST.

Jurgen Klopp has ripped up his usual team-sheet and makes nine changes from the side that started Saturday’s FA Cup final win over Chelsea.

Alisson and Ibrahima Konate are the only players who keep their place in the starting XI, which features Takumi Minamino, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino as the front-three.

Andrew Robertson and Luis Diaz are substitutes, while Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane are not in the squad.

Ralph Hasenhuttl, meanwhile, makes five changes.

Alex McCarthy comes in for the injured Fraser Forster, while there are also starts for Lyanco, Jack Stephens, Mohamed Elyounoussi and Nathan Tella.


GAMEWEEK 37 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Lyanco, Stephens, Salisu, Ward-Prowse, Diallo, Redmond, Elyounoussi, Tella, Broja

Subs: Caballero, Valery, Bednarek, Djenepo, Romeu, Long, Adams, A Armstrong, S Armstrong

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Gomez, Matip, Konate, Tsimikas, Milner, Elliott, Jones, Minamino, Jota, Firmino

    Liverpool first team would score 9 today. Soton all over the place 😀

      Currently playing a league cup team
      Surprised no Mane on the bench
      I knew about Salah Virgil & probably Robbo before the game .

    What's worse FFS Community;

    Robbo & Trent don't feature, or that I played five at the back and benched Saka and Ramsey before Bowen so no matter whether Alonso or James play, Bowen's whopping 14 points stay on the bench! LUL

    1. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Ramsey before Bowen on bench is bad, ain’t gonna lie

  3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years

    Milner right back

    1. keefy59
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Plenty of midfield options on the bench

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maybe bring Diaz into midfield Milner left back

      Difficult ask that

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Needs to be on the bench first of all

        1. Royal5

    Thoughts on FH38?

    Lloris
    James, Alonso, Cancelo
    Jota, Maddison, Zaha, Son, KDB
    Vardy, Toney

    Ward, Tsimikas, Anderson, Nketiah

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Very nice

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Superb - not sure about Toney though

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Who instead

        1. Utopsis
          • 4 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I'm toying with Callum Wilson myself

          1. Monklane
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Lucky Callum

          2. Not again Shirley
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            That’s a phrase I thought I’d never hear!

  7. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best combo for gw38?

    18.7m to spend

    A. Kulu and Kane
    B. Maddison and Lukaku
    C. Mount and Vardy

    Will be selling Coutinho and Ings

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Looking at Southampton tonight Vardy, Maddison & Barnes might get double digits?

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      D Two Leicester?

    3. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I like C. Do you already have Son? If not, would be dangerous going without both him and Kane

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maddison and Vardy possible?

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

    More please Jota. That’s my only points this week 🙁

    2. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years

      Did they feast with glee?

    3. The Mentaculus

      Or perhaps I've seen the future? In which case I can let you know they both blank

  10. Baps hunter

    Minamino, Jota and Tsimikas hauling!!!

    What is the limit of stupid trolling posts allowed here? The one exposing casuals year after year and on every page (with too much spirits drinken) has been banned or just disappeared for another reason? He seems to have followers though or has he changed his name?

  11. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    What are the benching chances of James, Alonso and Mount for Thursday?

    1. Bubbles1985
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Snap!

  12. Casualspotted

    1. Grande Tubarão

      I am also glad that you have a lot of multiple teams and are MUDded!

      1. Casualspotted
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I need only one team to be better than you mate

  13. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    It's no surprise that the best managers Klopp, Pep, Conte and Tuchel are finishing in top4

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Howe must be in the running

      1. Monklane
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Frank's been amazing

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          footballer, yes...

          1. Brehmeren
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Thomas

        2. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Agreed. Totally comfortable with Premier league and great team to watch

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      It's no surprise that they have the best players.

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      And conte

    4. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If that’s how it works I’m looking forward to Ten Hag winning the league next season!

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yea... The difference with them and OGS is usually that even I could have done better choices OGS quite often. (However Pep has been overthinking sometimes in CL and changed his system too much.)

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Pep has never been great at UCL. Out of all these 4, I'd rank Pep 4th. He only spends $$ to have a big enough squad = league win. Bald Fraud.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        OGS did pretty well all things considered, he got the team to 2nd place. Many people dismiss him but he made the team fight for him.

        I'd like to see pep/klopp/tuchel in a situation where the squad is so volatile. Oh wait, tuchel couldn't handle it at paris

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          OGS is definitely world class at man managing. Everyone loved him even when he was leaving

    6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd like to see someone like potter given the budget and benefits and then we can see who is the best

    7. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      You mean the managers with the most money.

  14. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Chances that 1 of Mount or James doesn't play on Thurs?

    I have Pukki next in line on the bench...

    1. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm hoping for a James/Alonso benching. not sure which is more likely. All 3 played 120 mins on Sat

  15. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    If liverpool had played the strongest team, I genuinely think this could have been another tanking approaching the 9-0s of previous seasons. This southampton side is atrocious at the back

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Salah would still blank given his form

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years

      Im going Leics 3 amigos on the strength of this

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Maddy, Harvey and Vardy?

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Yep for a hit with exact money Barnes Vardy for Cout Rich

  22. Juza
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    My Gomez punt went well.

    Kinda like my Diaz pick last week.

    I'm cursed

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Punts rarely work out.

  23. Shultan
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    So glad season is ending & no more FF
    GW1 rank 250K, GW37 350K
    Just yo-yoing all season between 500-350k rank
    Waste of a season for me

  24. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I thought Klopp was smarter than this. Win today and GW38 and they'd be champions. City could very well lose GW38

    1. Shultan
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      This side can still beat Southampton

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        They can but currently it's 1-1

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Klopp is smart. League is gone. Now is the time to get his players physically ready for the Champions League final.

      1. R.C
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Real Madrid is easy to beat

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      You’re smarter than Klopp?

  25. Casualspotted
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Tsimikas is great player. Only Cancelo and Robbo are better on his position in the league

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Chilwell?

      1. Casualspotted
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Average like Luke Shaw and Tierney

  26. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Any sign of Diaz?

  27. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Origi to the rescue ?
    A bit early I was expecting to come on at 89 mins

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      As always

    Hello Community, one more week to go and then it’s back to some sort of normality. Thinks like reintroducing ourselves to our Children and better half, talking to work colleagues and showering and maybe have a shave etc, anyway, this is my G/Week 38 team, locked in unless there is any injuries that crop up so feel free to tear apart or, heap copious amounts of praise on it 😀
