Moussa Djenepo

Injuries to both Nathan Redmond and Sofiane Boufal mean that Djenepo will almost certainly get a chance to start today.

Having burst onto the scene earlier in the season with two brilliant goals though, he hasn’t been able to contribute as much more recently.

The Malian’s ability to skip past opponents one-on-one is a trait that both Djenepo and his teammates must take full advantage of at St Mary’s this afternoon.

Aston Villa are likely to stick with their three-man defence for today’s game and Saints will see it as a real opportunity to expose the visiting backline using their own front four.

Djenepo has 36 FPL points to his name this season but his ability to score a spectacular goal or provide an assist makes him a good bet for your team.

FPL points from last five appearances: 6

FPL price: £5.2m
