Punters in the Football Transfer Tavern are looking to finalise their fantasy league teams.
They have the age old problem of choosing the final couple of players that are worthy of a place in their team, and are struggling to decide who it is that will fill those places.
Well Southampton could be a good team to look at in order to fill those spaces because their places are cheaper than those of the big boys, and they could be good players to keep the points tally ticking over across the whole of the season.
The landlord takes a look at THREE Southampton players that you should be putting in your team to make sure that you are top of the table and have the bragging rights among your mates.
The prices are based on the FPL game. Do you agree with these picks and what Southampton players have you got in your team?
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (£4.5m)
Højbjerg won’t be marauding forward constantly and getting goals every game, but he should be a regular in the Southampton in midfield and could get bonuses for clean sheets and a couple of assists.
Every fantasy league manager needs a couple of value players, and the Dane could prove brilliant value for anybody who picks him and will offer constant points, while allowing you to splash out for the bigger names.
Charlie Austin (£6.5m)
He may not have had long lasting joy at Southampton but he showed in his first match, in which he scored against Manchester United and got the man of the match award that he can get a lot of points.
As well as that, he showed how prolific he can be while he was at QPR.
As long as Austin can stay fit, he could be a brilliant point scorer with a pretty cheap price.
Virgil Van Dijk (£5.5m)
The Dutchman may be a relatively expensive option in defence, but Southampton will get a lot of clean sheets and points bonuses.
Van Dijk is also good on the ball and could get a few assists and could use his aerial presence to bag himself a few goals. Basically, the Southampton man could earn you points on all different fronts and be a very useful player for your team.
