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.

    Last man, no intent to play the ball. With two Toon players alone in the Saints half 😀

  5. twoplustwo

    Has to be a red

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Yes but the rules suggest that because the attacking player is in his own half its just a yellow.

      Quality dark arts, there.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Wasn’t in his half

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Read it again.

  6. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years

    That's a definite red imo

  7. Team Cruel

    How’s this not a red is beyond me

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      The ref took a punt on JWP (c)

    Those who are playing BB how many points have you got from your bench

    Foster, Duffy, Dunk = 14 points
    Just waiting on JWP

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years

      Not good, lol.

    2. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Just 5 with Maddy and Boruc

      TAA and Robbo to go so quite optimistic

    3. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Ryan 9 King 2 Duffy 2 Bednarek?

      1. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Meant Duffy 6

      2. Rains of Castamere
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I wanted 16 minimum so anything from now is a bonus really. King can sod off though.

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          My target was 16 too, so I'm fairly happy unlike with my starting 11

    4. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        So Doherty and Jota were really 2 of the 3 worst options this week, hence on your bench? Hmmm

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Correct

    7. Deeney-is-a-god

  12. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Dear me, it should have been a red ... from a JWP owner.

  13. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Disgraceful decision. Definite red. Another cowardly ref. Almiron AND Rondon were clean through
