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.

      More enjoyable? More relevant? More important(FPL wise)? Probably other reasons I can't be bothered with thinking about.

    zaha must be the one of the biggest complainers in football. Up there with Richarlison

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

      Both traps too

    Congrats to all the Greenwood captainers. I went Bruno.

    I did get in Forster, but decided to play Guaita instead. Oh well only 3pts difference.

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

      Bruno still has a game. Greenwood possibly won’t start either.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Or Cavani or Pogba...

        All to play for except for most including Maguire.

  11. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    The good thing in FPL land for the Leicester win is that Chelsea need to go again to use the parlance.

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

      Yep. Chelsea drop points tomorrow and Liverpool win Thursday then it’s all fairly open

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That's interesting too.

  12. AC/DC AFC

    And congrats Man City for the title and Man United for tripping up Liverpool...

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

      Amazing match from united today. Gotta love it. 3 titles in 4 years baby.

  13. 272MK
    • 10 Years

    Another penalty save too much to ask from Forster? Just trip someone up god dayyum

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

    Ill take an assist now Zaha, anything positive please.

  15. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years

    Southampton is the team that can concede 2 goals in the last 5 minutes.

  16. Gazwaz80
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Why did I think I was being clever by getting Zaha in 🙁

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

      It was always a toss up between Zaha and JWP for millions of us.

    2. Oggle22
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You and many others including me we will fall for the trap time and time again plus don't be surprised when you ditch him he finds his inner Messi

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yep, I’d seen so many people saying he wasn’ta trap before I put him in as well, ah well, roll on game week 36 😀

        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah DCL and an Everton defender are already pencilled in. I've even considered DCL and richarlison.

        Already have Kane, Salah and TAA.

        Sergio is a good shout.

    2. Pompel
      • 10 Years

      Digne, DCL , Mahrez + 2 Citeh. Salah, TAA, Kane, Son

  18. Mika-eel
    • 6 Years

    Benteke + Forster. Been a good evening!

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

    1Ft and only got 1 defender for GW36. Worth bringing in a cheap defender for a hit?

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

    Can someone please tell Ralph Hussenhutl to play Forster next GW as a reward for the penalty save and this win?
    He can give McCarthy the last 3 games

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

      I so need Forster to start next week

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

        I think McCarthy starts next gw.

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

    Ings could be a better shout than Kane for last 3!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      yep but other issues to sort. plus planning kane to aguero for 38.

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

        I'm so close to losing my ML I'm too scored to take anymore risks so going Kane

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

    Have Mendy, and Forster on BB so was delighted earlier with the peno save.

    Now for some reason I'm feeling disgusted that he's not in the BPS..
    This game eh, its like I don't even know who I am anymore.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
