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.

        4 years, 7 months ago

        Obvious inclusion imo. Raz is never rested in PL CL Mickey mouse Cup
        IB only time he can rest 😀
        Good understudy !

      Why isn't Southgate in Spain this weekend watching Trippier?

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years

        God knows 😀

    4. Amey

    I thought Abraham was rising tonight but he's only just over 90%

    Safe to wait on it - need every penny really?

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

      It must have readjusted after the deadline. He was at 101.5 earlier.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm. I'm none the wiser then!

      2. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I never understood the "readjustment" at the deadline. Thought it was just transfers in a time period rather than over gameweeks.

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

          Me either, but I guess it’s just adjusting the miscalculation. They aren’t perfect estimates after all.

        2. MTPockets
            4 years, 7 months ago

            wildcards

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Those WC'ers must have increased the count.
        Wait obviously till Midweek fixtures

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just remembered I triple captained Nuno's son in GW38 and somehow got 33 points.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I Captained if you remember 🙂

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I do actually. We were going on about it all week and to be fair to him he actually delivered

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            What a finish that was too 😮
            Sad that he's chances were wasted that day.
            Had some mad bps value.
            Create 6/7+ chances i guess

            1. Team Cruel
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Oh yeah, he had a big miss with the last kick of the ball or something.

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dendo looks like dropping tonight, really don't need that before planned transfers 🙁

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Look on the bright side, if you keep him for 38 GWs his price drops will be totally irrelevant

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, might just do that if I decide to play 343. Really regret not getting in early on Cantwell though

    4. Lokako
      • 9 Years

      Good night everyone. Tomorrow we will lol

    5. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      Wilson has barely touched the ball in this game.

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He will still score, we love to concede a late goal

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

        He scored though

        1. g40steve

          Not CW

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

            Is he playing?

    6. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Che Adams is worse than Big Wes.

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

        BTec Troy Deeney, who himself is NVQ level 1 Lukaku...

    7. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years

      Looks like my captain was left on Sterling, should I be worried?

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nobody knows just guessing

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

        Yes.

      3. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I went Sterling too. Bit of a risk but think City need a win and Pep will put out a strong team.

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          True, I suppose if rested Vice Salah should be safe ish!

      4. SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        You should be terrified.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years

          Lol

        2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          The reason I ask is because bizarrely he's not in the scout picks?

          1. SHOOTER MCGINN
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I think that's purely due to Agüero being much safer this week and budget restrictions. Sterling is still a good option.

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

      Commentator saying Solanke needs to kick start his Bournemouth career. Why mention Bournemouth?

      1. Here's Tom with the We…
        • 12 Years

        Good point, well made.

        Good one 😀

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

      If only we'd started with this XI and performance in the first half :(.
      Romeu has been class this season under Ralph. Cedric somehow slowly returning to his best. There are positives to take, but no denying its that first half that killed us.

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

        No idea why but I was sure Cedric had been sold abroad

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Was on loan wasnt he?

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

            At Interleast, I thought he was done and dusted as a Saints player. Glad to be proven wrong!

      2. Herman Toothrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        The first half...

        ...and Rico's baptastic right boot

        1. Stokelona
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Left boot

      3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Should of started Bertrand as Cedric is transformed now

    10. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Each one of my defenders is 4.9 and under:
      Rico,Lundstram,Aurier

      Not looking too bad!

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

        Damn it, I completely forgot about Aurier on my WC.

        Spurs fixtures are amazing, just always a rotation risk.

        1. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, I also have Soyuncu and Lowton

        who got a red card, that happened before I started watching and assumed someone was trolling. There was actually a red then?

      4. Fred54
        • 9 Years

        Solanke was subbed off, so back to 11 men now.
