Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster has kept four clean-sheets in the last five matches, with some great performances except a massive blunder against Crystal Palace where the Saints collapsed and lost 3-0. For a goalkeeper priced at £5.1m, Forster is not too expensive and has been providing excellent returns for the price.

He is well protected by a solid Southampton backline led by the stalwart Virgin van Dijk. Under Claude Puel, the Southampton team have been in general, defensively sound and the players seem like good options considering their FPL returns.

Saints play their next fixture against Bournemouth away from home. Claude Puel will have to ensure that the defence puts in their best shift if they want to come back with points away from home.

Next 3 fixtures: Bournemouth(A), Spurs(H), West Brom(H)
