Nathan Redmond (ยฃ5.4m) 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 (ยฃ4.4m) last time out and got a brace.

Ralph Hasenhรผttl has gone with the same system in attack, handing another start to striker Danny Ings (ยฃ5.4m) too.

However, there was disappointment for those Fantasy managers who had invested in Southampton defender Yan Valery (ยฃ4.1m) 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 (ยฃ4.6m) is also absent making for a back-three of Maya Yoshida (ยฃ4.1m), Jan Bednarek (ยฃ4.0m) and Jack Stephens (ยฃ4.2m).

In central midfield there are starts for budget midfielders Oriol Romeu (ยฃ4.2m) and Pierre-Emile Hรธjbjerg (ยฃ4.4m), who will be in a handful of Bench Boost squads.

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

Salomรณn Rondรณn (ยฃ5.9m) 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, Hรธjbjerg, Bertrand; Sims, Redmond; Ings.

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

    Always rated him quite highly.

      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

      1. Maddi Son

        48 -4 with 15 to go.

            Didn’t want them at all. But shows how unpredictable the game is.

            1. Richd
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 13 days ago

              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
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 13 days 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
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 13 days ago

        31(-12)

        11 to go with Sterling cap.

        (On BB).

        1. TAT
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 13 days ago

          -12? That's a lot!

          1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 13 days 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
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 13 days 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
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 13 days ago

                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
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 13 days 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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

              Ouch! A lot of things gone wrong there. Lloris and Valery might still feature though, even if they didn't play today. ๐Ÿ™‚

              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!

        He will score when we'll have him benched in the future gw's
