Re: Danny Ings
The standout budget option, the big difference between him and somebody like Jimenez is that he is proven, 129 points and 11 goals in a very poor Burnley team. Admittedly this was a few seasons ago, and he's had a bad injury, but always been a good player and tidy finisher.
He will be nailed, decent fixtures, and at just 5.5m can be benched for tougher games, he's the ideal 3rd striker, and the type of player the game was missing last season.
Have considered Wilson but think Ings can match him for less money.
ZeroRemorse - I'm considering something similar, will you move tomorrow just so you can see how Sterling/City line up, or will you move tonight to avoid the possible drop and not worry about seeing the City game?

Re: Danny Ings
Not to mention he's had several years of coaching and insight under Klopp, he's moving into space well and ghosting really well, definitely looks like an LFC player going with the way he's moving.Gambit wrote: ↑18 Aug 2018, 17:02 The standout budget option, the big difference between him and somebody like Jimenez is that he is proven, 129 points and 11 goals in a very poor Burnley team.

I'll wait buddy, I'm also interested in Hazard too, what a season this is, so many awesome options. I'm not too concerned with price rises this season, I've tried that strat in the past, although it's effective to get into the top 50k, it's very difficult to get near the 5k.

Re: Danny Ings
I thought Southampton didn’t create enough chances to make their attackers interesting in FPL terms, but Ings’s ICT-index according to FPL looks pretty high (the T-part!). Can someone tell me if he really was dangerous today?

I'm tempted to replace King with Ings and use the cash to upgrade Jota in my midfield.

Re: Danny Ings
Already did Iheanacho --> Ings.
Already had 1.0m extra from Siggy --> Richairlison, so now I can do Aguero to Kane or Barkley to any 7.5m if I want.

Re: Danny Ings
He had 7 touches in the penalty box, compared to King's 3.
6 attempts on goal, all coming from in the box compared to King's 2 and 1 in the box.
2 shots on target, compared to Kings 0.
2 big chances, 1 scored compared to Kings 0.
And same chances created. 1.
It's a small data sample, but when Ings came on last week, he was by and large SOTON's best-attacking threat vs Burnley, meanwhile King was pretty anonymous vs Cardiff as well.
Over the course of these two games, Ings definitely looks the superior pick.

Still rocks at 5.5m for a starting fwd.....

Re: Danny Ings
Yeah, poor guy picked up that nasty injury early into his LFC career, then inflamed it again. Really unfortunate, could've done well as a rotating option there, but Pool is so stacked now that a move was a good idea for his career, he was a really popular character there too and works hard, I like the guy immensely as a player, he's the hard-working forward any midtable team desires.

Re: Danny Ings
Not as much as Kliippity does, and yep I thought he was a Klopp player, but missed the boat, so to speak. Good energy, pressing, can finish, decent technique.... pinocchiop what Hughes will do to him, bit Big Club Manager could be gone by Xmas?

Then possibly Bailly to alonso. Chasing last week’s points too much?

I put it in my RMT thread last night and having slept on it I'm still keen. All reports sound positive on Ings and as I've just posted in the Alonso thread - this is likely the best time to get him if you're planning on it.
I'd prefer to keep the united CS cover but I can always look to bring someone in later since it's not as pressing. The only concern I have about making the change is the Aguero situation -but that's a topic for another discussion!

Re: Danny Ings
Ings could be a good option at that price - just be aware he's on loan so no Liverpool (A) fixture. Not that you'd expect much from that game.

Re: Danny Ings
Have Ings at the mo in my WC team. If needed I could replace him with Kane meaning Salah to a 6.5 (Pedro) so I have options if he tanks. Obviously that's the extreme.

Re: Danny Ings
Aguero starts (and I now regret swapping captain to salah, despite it being the smart move with the rumours and pep factor). It does relax me that he's not an issue and I was right to expect 2 up top at home.No Way Jose wrote: ↑19 Aug 2018, 12:31I agree 100%Jamtart wrote: ↑19 Aug 2018, 08:47I'm looking at exactly this.No Way Jose wrote: ↑18 Aug 2018, 23:21 I’m also on the king to Ings bandwagon I think

I'll now be going ahead with those 2 transfers. Early in the week if it looks like Alonso will rise at that.

Southampton do have 3 other good strikers... Long, Gabbi + Austin so how likely is it that Ings may lose minutes?

Re: Danny Ings
Soton fans including ones who go to matches are quite open that they are pants. When they sack Hughes I'll have a look, but Jimenez is a safer option, but only if no Neves\Jota etc.

Re: Danny Ings
Long and Gabbiadini aren't good strikers. I know it isn't a large sample, but Ings has been Southampton's best player by a huge margin in the first couple of games.

Re: Danny Ings
Anybody an update on his hamstring injury ?
Could he be back this weekend as ive not seen anything about it online and need him to be fit this week, as my bench options are poor and have tough fixtures

Still listed on Physio room as a major doubt. Hoping for the best and holding but my bench may be stretched as much as his hammy.
