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.

    Rudiger + Davis —> Mitchell + Adams wasn’t a total flop then!

    What kind of wizardry does Foster need to do to get a BP? He’s currently sat 4th place

      Forster* obv

      Another save point?

    3. Revival

      Oh forgot the penalty save counts as one of his 3 saves for a extra point.

      Lol Mendy got 3 immediately for catching that aguero chip

        This is where the logic and integrity of bonus points needs to be questioned

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          They just need to get rid of them, if your player has done well you've already got more points

    Vestergard and Dawson have really been battling it out since GW28 to see who can score the least FPL points whilst starting every game

    Was it not an Armstrong assist?!
    🙁

      Strange it's not on yet, I have him.

    2. dadoune30
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I think Vestergaard had a touch before Adams scored

  5. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Zaha do something - he is my only differential remaining 🙁

  6. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Come on now, my player's today...

    Henderson 0
    Shaw 0
    Bruno 1
    Castagne 2
    Vardy 2
    Iheanacho 2
    Ward 0

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Oooo Ward has 1 again

  7. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha doing anything at all?

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Contemplating the myriad of clubs uninterested in him

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Can't see many clubs going for him

        1. Utopsis
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Hence uninterested 🙂

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Ha oh yes

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      falling to the ground and complaining

    3. demob
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Complaining as usual

    4. Rassi
      • 9 Years

      Great talent, flawed character.

  8. JJO
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Perreira Vestegard and Reguilon
    Worst WC trio in 10 years playing

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

      Pereira Leicester I assume?

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah

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

          Surprising yes... he might have to find a new position next year with Justin back. Or a new club

          1. JJO
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah great player,but he suffered too much with that injury

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

              Wouldn’t write him off. But castagne is so good too. So is Justin

  9. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which def for gw36 (-4)?

    1) Dallas
    2) Digne

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

      2

  10. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Grow up Zaha you pathetic idiot you've cost me my ML you clown

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Only if you picked him. No worries

  11. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Joel Ward. 2 goals in 5 years would look so much better than 1 on your wiki page.

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      lol

  12. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Come on JWP. Give me something. Anything

  13. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    We should never have trusted that troll Zaha

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It is his fault he doesn't have two assists. Mili is not to blame.

  14. Kryptonite666
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chasing 20 points.

    Martinez (Areola)
    Dunk Cresswell Reguilion (Shaw) (Rudiger)
    Lingard Sterling Salah Son Jota
    Bamford Vardy Iheanacho

    Dunk is red carded so needs to go. Vardy also has to go.

    Would you take a -8 for Sterling to Mahrez/ Bale ?

    -8 for Dunk/ Vardy / Sterling to Dallas/ DCL and Bale?

    1. BUZZBOMB
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Id take a -8 under those conditions. Dallas, Digne, cheap Liv def, Raph, Dcl.

  15. ZAMUNDA

    Maddison has been the most useless transfer I've made this season. When I should have gotten Greenwood instead. Welcome back Raphinha to my team.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Get Greenwood

      1. ZAMUNDA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not playing next week, so I got Raphinha for now. I may swap Lingard for Greenwood later

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

        He blanks in GW36 and is not 100% certain to start GW38 ahead of EL final

        1. ZAMUNDA
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          That

  16. aborg
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha finally himself from the past 15 mins

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

      Won't score and was one of the biggest TGW traps I felt

      1. aborg
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Who would have you gottten instead?

  17. Wally711
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Gonna need everyone to pause everything they are doing and remember the amazing season we had.
    MANCHESTER CITY PREM CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!!!!!! starting to sound like a broken record, am I right man u, liverpool and chelsea fans.
    Have a good one guys (city fans) and party on, my party time is pizza, chicken wings and some chips. Then maybe go running tmr morning lol.

  18. ZAMUNDA

    So after this penalty save, can Forster start next game as well? Need him to complete 11 starting players.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Think Hassenhutl all but confirmed McCarthy gets next 2

      1. ZAMUNDA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers mate

  19. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Fraser. One or two saves might get you 2bps

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

    Is there a decent chance that Laporte will keep his place for the Newcastle game?

    Looks like I’m taking hits if he’s out

  21. BOATIES FC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Iheanacho to Antonio or Bamford - 4?

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      yes

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Antonio for me - more explosive

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

        Would you go Bamford over Antonio if you had Lingard still?

        1. Pompel
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Yes, I have Lingard already. Just Bamford has been quiet for weeks until this GW, cant see him hauling even if Raphina is back.

        2. BOATIES FC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Its a tough choice

  22. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Wow Zaha turns 29 this year.

    Getting too late for him to go to a bigger club or what?

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      too late indeed. Also not good enough.

    2. Revival

      He was already at Man Utd 😀

    Bloody hell Prowsy - two assist the assisters!

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

    Ings and Adams combo for the goal

  25. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Absolutely lethal from Ings again

  26. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Such a quality finisher.

  27. ZAMUNDA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Come on Adams my differential!

  28. Dirty_Harry
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Spewing the Zaha punt didn't pay off. Would have been great for mini leagues as a sole owner.

    Can only hope for more than a point in GW36

  29. Fudgy
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Zaha isn't even good enough for the prem for me.

  30. Utopsis
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Ings throwing a spanner in the works

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

      I'm fairness it's Palace and Palace's defence is trash.

      1. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Fulham and Leeds next...
