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.

Triple Gameweek 35 so far…

      Chances of Greenwood minutes vs Pools:

      A) around 60
      B) around 30
      C).90
      D) 0

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        B

      2. Herman Toothrot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Has a chance of all of those technically.

        1. acidicleo
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          True ..my guess is A rather than B as its v Pools..

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        B

      4. justaguy9

      I love ings, so lethal so clinical. Think i will punt on him for The last gameweeks

          3 gameweeks left lol

            He’ll do a groin 2’ into next match 😉

      2. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Antonio will do the same but cheaper price imo

      3. acidicleo
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Ings v Antonio v Bamford now as Wilson out of the race..
        The most reliable hammy among them is bambam I think..

    • justaguy9
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      which is best option:

      1. Schmeichel to Pickford (-4) (full 11)
      2. Iheanacho to Antonio (-4) (no GK)
      3. Play Ward & no GK (10 outfield players)

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

        2 could pay off immediately if no hammy incident.

      Benteke is a DGW legend

        Not only did he score the hattie vs QPR in the DGW but he scored in the first match away at Man Utd too.

      That Benteke goal brings me 100 pts with 8 players to go.

    • Heiro
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      With Forster starting, does that mean we expect him not to play the next game?

      Can't remember what the manager said!

            What’s the definition of insanity quote..? Repeating the same exercise expecting a different outcome and all that..
