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.

    Newcaste 2-0 Southampton.
    No Valery.

    I'm glad I'm an atheist. I am now more convinced than ever that there exists no fantasy god.

      They exist, they're just cruel

      Before they destroy us, the Fantasy Gods first drive us mad.

        They exist for me. 2 consecutive -12 hits rank gone from 124k to 70k.

      Redmond looking lively?

        Looking like Nuno in 1999

        Assisted the Assist.

      BB so far:
      Ryan 9, Wilson 2, Duffy 6, Valery 0
      17 points and 3 to go. Not too bad but if Trippier and Valery dont shoe up next game it gets worse...

        31 here, glad I took the risk on Deulofeu!

        That’s excellent

      3. El Matador
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I don't understand people screaming out their BB scores. Its irrelevant because u wouldn't have benched those players in a SGW.

          • 14 Years

          You think those on BB play Ryan over Foster?

          1. El Matador
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Ryan is an exception.

              • 14 Years

              Wouldn't have played Duffy.

            I definitely played the players I would have benched. Otherwise you don’t realise the actually benefit the BB has/hasn’t brought you

              Its easy enough to work out..

          Got 20 points thus far and I purposly tried to sort out my team like I would any other GW cause I wanted to see the benefit of my BB...

      I know its early but what's your thoughts on Vardy and Brooks to Rashford and B.Silva?

      Thought B.Silva looked great today and reckon he's nailed for the rest of the season.

      1. El Matador
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        I would hold Vardy for Arsenal

      2. The Senate
        • 5 Years

        honestly I like it

                  And Valery missing out forced it too

                        Lemina is a brilliant player mate.
                        I think he played CL final for Juventus too.

                    Can’t remember the last time I was optimistic about or enjoyed a DGW?

                    Personally I think the game has changed with squad depth and rotation (bigger teams mostly)

                    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
                      • 9 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      I think I enjoyed the game more the les I played it. When I got bored of it, I just stopped, forgot about it and started the next season again with some random Norwich striker.

                      Assist from Armstrong. Who really has these players ? 😉

                        Just can’t pick a decent keeper this season. Brought in Ryan quite a few weeks back and he literally did nothing then finally beach him for Dubravka he gets some saves, CS and bonus. Probably would have played him his week but didn’t want double Brighton as played Duffy.

                        Only upside is bet on Southampton to score!

                          I don't think I've ever picked a good keeper.
