Redmond starts but Valery missing for Southampton

Nathan Redmond (£5.4m) has been handed another start in the central attacking midfield role in which he thrived in Double Gameweek 34.

Having played as a makeshift centre-forward for long spells this season, the former Norwich man was paired with Josh Sims (£4.4m) last time out and got a brace.

Ralph Hasenhüttl has gone with the same system in attack, handing another start to striker Danny Ings (£5.4m) too.

However, there was disappointment for those Fantasy managers who had invested in Southampton defender Yan Valery (£4.1m) with this Double Gameweek in mind.

After coming off with cramp in Double Gameweek 34 and overcoming that this week, he ends up missing the game through illness.

Jannik Vestergaard (£4.6m) is also absent making for a back-three of Maya Yoshida (£4.1m), Jan Bednarek (£4.0m) and Jack Stephens (£4.2m).

In central midfield there are starts for budget midfielders Oriol Romeu (£4.2m) and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (£4.4m), who will be in a handful of Bench Boost squads.

Meanwhile, Newcastle’s relevance to the Fantasy Premier League scene continues to dwindle.

Salomón Rondón (£5.9m) remains the most popular Magpie in the game but his ownership has fallen again, now to just 6.5% overall.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka; Schar, Lascelles, Dummett; Manquillo, Ki, Hayden, Ritchie; Almiron, Perez; Rondon

Southampton XI: Gunn; Bednarek, Yoshida, Stephens; Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu, Højbjerg, Bertrand; Sims, Redmond; Ings.

    Why has Dummett missed so many games this season? Injured or dropped?

    Always rated him quite highly.

    How could we all miss the Perez pick? It was so obvious 😀

      Yeah dunno how I missed that one tbh

      Can't remember his name but someone on the Scoutcast mentioned him. I think Perez was 2nd for shots on target or something.

      Still can't bring him in on a DGW tho

              Stands for the scouts on the scoutcast too. Abuse was unwarranted.

                I think it's just because you're being cocky before the match and you're being cocky now after...

        I’d always worry about own goals and red cards when making statements like this. Guess I’m just a huge pessimist.

            1. TAT
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 22 hours ago

              Valery here as well. No one would have expected the Lloris no-show though. Clean sheet vs Brighton is very likely.

      2. Mo Mané Mo Problems
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 22 hours ago

        31(-12)

        11 to go with Sterling cap.

        (On BB).

        1. TAT
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 22 hours ago

          -12? That's a lot!

          1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 22 hours ago

            Yeah. The extra -8 was pretty self inflicted.

            Speroni and Maddison to Foster and Sterling (-4). Acceptable.

            Vardy and Pogba to King and Son (-8). Tilt.

            1. TAT
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 22 hours ago

              Bet anyone would have made the first two transfers at least! King could have been a nice differential. Think he came close to scoring at some point during the game.

              Expect Son to get something out of the next fixture.

              1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
                • 9 Years

                Had Fraser and Wilson so it was pretty stupid.

                From what I heard could have probably all got 6+ points.

                Ah well. Going out with a bang. Had a crap rank, might as well have a laugh.

                1. TAT
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 22 hours ago

                  Yeah, think all of them came close to scoring. Would have expected more from them given the opposition. Typical FPL really.

            26 -8 from Lloris, Valery, Son C, Kun, KdB, Duffy, Jimenez, Doherty, Llorente, JWP ... you are doing well 😉

              Ouch! A lot of things gone wrong there. Lloris and Valery might still feature though, even if they didn't play today. 🙂

              Shame about KdB though.

        Out of curiosity how many points are you ahead? I’m in a similar situation and destroyed my closest rival .. how far ahead is too far ahead with the game weeks remaining?

      You know the FPL expectations have hit rock bottom when you celebrate JWP not getting his second yellow card.

      24 points so far and a red arrow on bench boost think I may just hang up the boots. How on earth has yoshida not scored in that game also!
