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.

        This

      D followed by B

        2 years, 10 months ago

        With D can also add Shaw to Digne for a -8. Won’t have 11 so Digne could cover 2 of that by just playing

    So goddamn typical of this season... Of course Mili misses the one penalty after I bring in Zaha.

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha always disappoints.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I've had him once or twice before and never really loved him as an option. Always massively disappointed and sell after a few weeks.

        1. ilikewud
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          His upside also isn't that high. He rarely scores more then a goal when he does score and has a temper. I'm always worried about those yellow cards.

          1. Postman Ty
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            He's red listed forever for me I think.

            1. ilikewud
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              100%

            You had to mention it...

    Stupid rule anyway

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Surely you're not talking about keepers staying on their line.

      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Just need Mitchell to score a goal and redeem his cheap ass self

      1. ilikewud
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        The fact that he started for 3.8 should be enough

  11. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Nice! Pen saves from Mendy and Forster on BB 🙂

    1. Utopsis

    Mendy and Forster owners unite!

    1. Shteve
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I hear you, great week for the bench boost, 21pts with two to play plus whatever else happens to Forster here

    2. Isco Disco
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      WE FEAST!

      1. The Ilfordian

        WE FORST

  14. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I can’t explain how many game weeks I’ve owned Zaha over the years without nil returns. Thank god this time it’s only in FH.

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Same here..

    2. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Zaha isn't even an option in this game. CPL could be facing me and my mates after a night out at the bars and I still wouldn't bring Zaha in.

  15. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Well, I'll take that from Forster!

  16. BENOIT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Any decent defender punts for 36?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Digne

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

    If you’re chasing and rival has TAA, would you go Robertson?

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No - I'd probably find another differential

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Would have been better if Zaha missed it

  19. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years

    Tbf must be hard to beat Forster, dude is massive

  20. Isco Disco

      How do you know that? Its team and fixture dependent. 'the best week to bb' is different for everyone.

  23. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    So much for focussing on teams with something to play for - end to end this. Only see more of this when crowds are back

    Now I’m starting to feel what all this Zaha trolling is all about since I got him for the first time for the DGW !

  29. Van der Faart

    FK in JWP range.

  30. Kryptonite666

    I have a 20 point lead to catch up. Have Sterling in my team. He’s unlikely to start given both Foden and Mahrez were rested ?

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I don't think he'll make the first 11
