Redmond returns for Southampton as Fraser benched again

Southampton midfielder Nathan Redmond (£6.3m) is back in the starting line-up following injury.

He returns to the side just as Moussa Djenepo (£5.4m) drops out with a knock of his own.

It looks as if Redmond will sit next to Sofiane Boufal (£5.5m) in a central attacking midfield duo behind centre-forward Che Adams (£5.7m).

The return of Kevin Danso (£4.5m) will also be welcome news for Ralph Hasenhüttl, who was forced into playing a back-three with Djenepo as a wing-back in the win over Sheffield United.

Visitors Bournemouth have gone with a 4-4-2 formation which features Ryan Fraser (£7.3m) on the bench for a second match running.

On the flanks of midfield are Josh King (£6.3m) and Harry Wilson (£6.0m) while Callum Wilson (£7.8m) and Dominic Solanke (£5.4m) lead the line.

Also of note is another start at left-back for Diego Rico (£4.1m), who offers better value compared to the likes of Nathan Aké (£4.9m) and Steve Cook (£5.0m).

Southampton XI (4-3-2-1): Gunn; Danso, Bednarek, Vestergaard, Cédric; Højbjerg, Romeu, Ward-Prowse; Boufal, Redmond; Adams.

Bournemouth XI (4-4-2): Ramsdale; Rico, Aké, S Cook, Stacey; J King, Lerma, Billing, H Wilson; Solanke, C Wilson.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

    2. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I pulled VAR last Sunday. She denied it so it didn’t happen.

  19. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years

    cant believe last minute decision to play rico paid off...almost never happens

    of course lundy could get a hatty 😆

  20. Differential C (Mark)
    • 8 Years

    Also, I love VAR

  21. Royal5
    • 12 Years

    Tough luck on King owner that. Close call.

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years

  22. Bartowski
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    It does seem that 3 4.0s (or thereabouts) is the way forward.

    Its just that with all the mid priced mids and forward doing so well there isn't anywhere else to spend.

    Maybe FPL should instigate some sort of bank where you can earn interest.

    And perhaps given how everything else is going t*ts up this should be the future basis of our entire monetary system.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I don't get it

    2. CL4PTRAP
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Kinda cool. Like the idea.

      1. CL4PTRAP
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        The interest part. 3 x 4.0s to start is madness surely.

        1. Bartowski
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          No not to start, as part of your five defenders, you'd probably only end up playing one but it does give you better options elsewhere and doesn't affect the possible points.

  23. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    King scores.

    Solanke assist.

    No Wilson involvement for now

    VAR ruins perfect goal

  24. VanDijksToWatchOutFor

    Carra complaining var to brexit. Lol.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Comparing?

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        There we go, thanks.

    2. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I didn’t hear, what was the reference?

      That it was voted for but people still complain about it?

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        People didn't understand what they were getting I guess.

    3. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Any pundit who brings up politics should be fired on the spot

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Any pundit filmed spitting out his car at another car should be fired too

  25. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Lads who to prioritize? Soyuncu or Rico?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure what all the fuzz about Soyu is about. He's awful.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Peeps in love with Leicester's fixtures...and his price.

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          His price is decent but personally I don't like the look of Leicesters defense.

      2. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        People think Leicester are the same force as they were back in the good old days.

    2. FPL Forward Thinker

        Nailed or failed?

  27. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Gosh Southampton used to be a solid top 10 team. What’s happened to them? This is awful.

    Bring back the days of Mane, Pelle, Tadic...Lallana.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Believe me, what I'd do to get back to 15/16. We had a TEAM back then.
      We have coach who's pretty good now., but the players .. . . Idk.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hassenhuttl just isnt very good

  28. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years

    LOL VAR,

    Who was on the assist if Kings goal was allowed?

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Solanke

  29. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Stacey's mom with an important block.

    Good game this.

  30. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I had convinced myself Adams was going to do something useful today.

    But he is getting no service whatsoever. Bournemouth breaking everything down and playing out of trouble very, very well.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Looks out of his depth at this level

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah. He has 0 positional sense.
