Forster completes pair of starts for Southampton as Ings returns from injury

Fraser Forster (£4.0m) completes a pair of Triple Gameweek 35 starts by featuring against Crystal Palace.

The Southampton goalkeeper played Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool and, in starting tonight, earns back-to-back appearances for the first time since Gameweek 31.

Saints manager Ralph Hasenhüttl also welcomes Danny Ings (£8.4m) back from injury against the Eagles, the former Liverpool man paired with Che Adams (£5.7m) up-front.

Takumi Minamino (£6.0m) is also back in the team after missing the game against his parent club Liverpool.

With Ryan Bertrand (£5.0m) still sidelined, Jack Stephens (£4.6m) is at left-back, joined in the back-four by Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m), Jan Bednarek (£4.7m) and Kyle Walker-Peters (£4.7m).

Carrying 11.8% ownership this evening, central midfielder James Ward-Prowse (£5.9m) is Southampton’s main Fantasy focus. Just four midfielders have offered more points per million spent than him this season.

Meanwhile, there are very few changes for Crystal Palace as they travel to the south coast to complete their Triple Gameweek 35 schedule.

Gary Cahill (£4.5m) drops to the bench to be replaced by Scott Dann (£4.2m) while Jordan Ayew (£5.6m) replaces Andros Townsend (£5.5m) on the right-hand side of midfield.

After a string of outings on the left-hand side of a front-three, it looks as if Wilfried Zaha (£7.2m) could be up-front with Christian Benteke (£5.5m) at St. Mary’s.

Triple Gameweek 35 Line-ups

Southampton XI: Forster; J Stephens, Vestergaard, Bednarek, Walker-Peters; Minamino, Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Redmond; Ings, Adams.

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita; Mitchell, Dann, Kouyaté, J Ward; Eze, Riedewald Milivojevic, Ayew; Zaha, Benteke.

      Lazy, arrogant and burden to other team members

        Yep, thinks he is better than he actually is, attitude stinks and reason why he will never be at a top 6 club, he could cause a fight in a room on his own.. seriously bad attitude and no team player at all

  12. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    5 players … 5 points

    This has been a common theme of double gameweeks this season. Huge first half, nothing second half

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I had 7 player's today, 7 points, pretty unbelievable really!

    I can't believe I got Zaha. I thought I was done getting trolled by him.

  15. Pointless

    Watkins and Zaha in my FH team. Good job it’s only a game!!!!

    107 with 11 to play any good?

    1. TheDragon
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not great to be honest

      1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Just because you are on 160 already!

    2. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Above 10k average.
      But most here are on 145 with 9 to go. So depends on who your two are.

    3. Roy Hudd
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not really, no. I know you're trying to brag about your score but there will be plenty with much higher scores mate and you look a bit silly now.

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        haha ok salty. Unless you get a gameweek rank of 1 then yes there will always be plenty with higher scores. I certainly dont feel silly with my current gameweek rank of 10k. If I could do that every week I would win the whole thing by hundreds of points!

  17. BUZZBOMB
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Dropping big time from 35k tonight despite 5 players today. Unfortunately they were Henderson, JWP, Bruno (c), Vardy and Iheanacho...

  18. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Who to bring in for nacho?

    A...Antono
    B...Bamford
    C...DCL

    1. Duke Silver ☑

      C

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      DCL

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Cheers leaning towards him with SHU up next.

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      a

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      - DCL vs. SHU feels like the best fixture given whipping boy status. He's getting the chances.

      - Antonio (BHA) is a tougher match up this week, but they don't have Dunk & will be more open, which will probably suit WHU. I didn't actually watch that match so can't comment on how they looked.

      - Bamford vs. BUR is decent too. Don't think Burnley have been dreadful of late, but not water-tight either.

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers yeah i agree with everything you said here. All good options and all could haul or blank. DCL has the best fixture on paper I think but Everton haven't been great at home.

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah that's true. But I hope SHU helps that.

          I've also brought him in (WOL not terrible fixture either), but will also likely get one of the other two you've mentioned for Watkins in GW37.

  19. Dirty_Harry
    • 14 Years

    And I still got to play Zaha next week - cries

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Luckily on FH...

  20. grooveymatt65
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    so who is a good Zaha replacement do we think?

    Siggy.. maybe Rafinha?

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Raph

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Got to be Raph

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Keep 😆

    4. Brimble82
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Just get a non-playing fodder.
      Maybe someone who’s left the Prem.
      Will be far more rewarding.

  21. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thanks A lot, Zaha, you have convinced me that you’re never never never in my team and A big trap I’ve gone into too many times already

  22. Brimble82
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thank goodness I only have Zaha on FH!

    Hope he gets a move to a bigger club in the summer. Then the petulant plick can sit on the bench and Eze can take up the mantle of main man at Palace. The lad is so silky.

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Eze is so so good

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, don’t normally watch Palace, but as I had Guaita/Zaha on FH, (and I wasn’t doing anything for either of their games) I watched both.
        Obviously Eze got the returns in the first game, but his touch, movement and pure ‘finesse’ is soooo sexy.
        I’ll be keeping half an eye on him for next season. Could be a decent 5th.

    2. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No top 6 club will touch him, agreed Eze much better

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah, but maybe Arsenal or Everton will….

        Waits patiently for Arsenal fans…

        No!

        Any Everton fans then….

    3. seanie3
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Maybe Burnley or Newcastle is where he will end up..

      1. Brimble82
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        At Newcastle… playing second fiddle to ASM?
        Nah, Wilf’s ego couldn’t take that!

  23. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    You were warned. You were all warned. But you did not listen! 🙂

  24. seanie3
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Zaha trap confirmed, he should request a transfer again and hopefully end up at Fulham or West Brom

  25. George James
