* Je m'y attendais. (This means "I expected it," implying that you saw it coming.)

Informal:

* Ça ne me surprend pas du tout. (This adds emphasis by saying "it doesn't surprise me at all.")

* Je n'en suis pas étonné(e). (This is another way to say "I'm not surprised," more colloquial than the formal version.)

* Pas du tout. (This is a short, informal way to say "not at all," implying that you're not surprised in the least.)

Other options:
