Southampton fan Matt Samuel joins James to discuss The Saints FPL assets and their chances of beating the drop under Russell Martin who will want to play an attractive style but is the team equipped enough to play the way he wants to?

The squad will need strengthening, but within a budget, and a priority would be to get in a new goalkeeper and depth is required in the forward areas but the addition of Ben Brereton Diaz - who has been classified as a midfielder - offers genuine competition to Adam Armstrong for those seeking a Saints attacker.

And FPL managers may want to invest in one, because despite the opening weekend's daunting trip to Newcastle an outstanding run of fixtures follows.

Plus, there's a detailed debate about the relegation fight and 4.0 defenders, which includes the current highest owned, Southampton's Taylor Harwwod-Bellis.

And the Saints may have the best 4.5 forward in the game too.
