The Gameweek rolls on with Monday night football under lights and a clash at St Mary’s made all the more spicy by last week’s shock dismissal of Nigel Adkins. The Mauricio Pochettino era at Southampton starts tonight, then, handing him a tough baptism against David Moyes’ rugged Everton outfit.

Fantasy managers will have eyes on the hat-stand attacking talents of Marouane Fellaini, with backers of Leighton Baines hoping for some set-piece joy and raids down the left. As for the Saints, Rickie Lambert will carry the burden of scoring the goals for his new boss and, with plenty holding tight after his double Gameweek success, he carries decent Fantasy interest going into tonight’s match.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to follow their fortunes for those who fancy some real-time banter.

The team news from St Mary’s finds the new manager make two changes which come as no surprise: both Rickie Lambert and Gaston Ramirez earn recalls to the starting lineup having been benched for the 2-2 draw at Chelsea. Steven Davis and Jay Rodriguez drop out to make way. As for the visitors, they make one change as Victor Anichebe gives way to Steven Naismith. The big news for the Toffees is that the live-wire Kevin Mirallas is fit enough for a return to the bench.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      No. Keep Taarabt now they have signed Remy. Also Harry was quoted as saying he'll play a midfield diamond with two up front when Zamora returns. Presumably Taarabt will play at the top of that diamond which will really suit him.

      Plus Fellaini isn't showing the form he had earlier in the season.

      Getting rid of Giroud is a good idea. Unfortunately it hadn't happened for him like it could have done, so much promise c.10 gws ago.

      Fletcher, maybe, maybe not. Both him and Sunderland are a little streaky for my liking.

      It just needs Distin to pass rather than hoof it in the general direction of a blue shirt.

        Unless you can afford Suarez, RVP & Aguero, 3-5-2 is the way to go imo.

      Bale isn't power 5 these days its Silva everyone knows that! Hmmm who else scored this week so we can swap them out for Fellaini.

    How are Southampton not ahead? So wasteful. On the upside, Fellaini has been awesome. He gets everywhere!

      Ummm I'd hardly call that awesome. He was up top, Moyes hauled his a$$ back because they needed some steel to actually get the ball, then he went back up top. They are hoofing to him and hoping.

      Yep, much better option than Ade and scoring at the same rate as last year - just needs game time.

      Great diff

    Tell you wot Baines and Bale are so similar. If you dont have them at the right times they take up a hell of a lot of cash for nothing.
