Saturday’s events get underway with a clash between Southampton and Everton at St Mary’s this lunchtime. Both sides are looking for a first win of the new campaign after registering 2-2 draws with Newcastle and Watford last weekend.

The Saints proved a reliable source of defensive returns at home last year, chalking up 11 clean sheets in front of their own fans and conceding a mere 13 times – only Chelsea (nine) proved more miserly.

After netting twice at St James’ Park last week, they’ll be looking to take advantage of a Toffees backline devoid of the injured Leighton Baines. Certainly, given that the visitors managed just two clean sheets on their travels last season, those backing the Saints at both ends of the pitch will fancy their chances of getting amongst the points.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I have 2 FT, is it worth using them and then wildcarding the week after? Or just wildcarding now?

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Use them and then don't WC?

      Depends on your team

      Depends how bad your team is. Really, almost everyone will want Sanchez and Aguero within the next 3 weeks, you should be able to get these without needing new to wild card.

      Personally, I would wait a little longer to find out where the decent budget options are and who will be the mid table teams (I.e will Southampton, swans, Stoke, Palace etc be the best of the rest) to establish who gives you the chance to get them in.

      The results so far have been pretty unpredictable to be honest, I bet there isn't slot of correct score winning bets on this game for example!

    Who was saying earlier that Everton would crumble this season?

    1. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      You?

    2. Breadbin

      10 years, 7 months ago

      This game proves more about Southampton than Everton.

      1. Ziro Becomes One

        this.

      2. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years

        People never give credit to the attacking team.

        Will keep my eye out for more 'tips' from good ol' Doos 🙂

    SAints concede 5 in two games against Newcastle and Everton. Gonna bee a looooong season.

    • 16 Years

    a fine win for everton.

  5. Trigg ⭐️
    • 13 Years

    I can do Roo and Depay to Barkley and Aguero.

    But I just can't do it, not with those EVE fixtures.

    1. The Light Knight
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Losing 2 United before NEW, brave man

      1. Trigg ⭐️
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Well, that's the second reason I'm not doing it!

  6. SW6
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I's almost rather Everton had tough games than easy ones. They're the type of team that performs better against the big teams than against the bottom-half ones.

    1. sozopol
      • 14 Years

      hmm interesting. I can see that

      Everyone had everyone in their provisional team, dw

        THIS. OMFG. this.

    3. Simon69

      Unlucky, Captain.

  9. Billy Gilmore

    Would love a Pelle consolation

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years

      Not happening unfortunately

    2. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      he's too old to be playing. does the odd erectile dysfunction advert.

  10. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Rival in my ML has both Barkely and Lukaku some catching up to do next few weeks.

  11. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    I can't wait to see Barkley at City next year gonna be a real fantasy asset

    1. Kip
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      🙄

  12. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Europa League blues has struck early for Southampton this year.

    Thank God West Ham are already out of it.

    1. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think the EL is a factor for Southampton yet - West Ham played more ties pre-season and went to Arsenal and won.

      No excuse for Koeman, just a poor display.

      Everton mighty impressive though, food for thought for those rushing Aguero in for GW3, perhaps.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        That's true re Europa League. I'm surely not going to get Aguero for Rooney this week but GW4 definitely.

  13. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Turns out GW1 was quite good.

    1. Jax
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      after 2 games of this gw. do us a favour.

    2. Thick Of It

  14. BenDavies

    10 years, 7 months ago

    I am officially not playing this game anymore. Is there any way to delete the account? Can't take the regret of playing Young instead of Coleman and failing to transfer Young out at 18:45 yesterday.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      See ya

    2. sozopol

      you'll be back in two weeks

    3. Jax

    5. Thick Of It

      You said already.

    7. timski8000
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      This is just bad luck mate, part of the game unfortunately. Hurts when it happens but long forgotten by GW10. Chin up, next GW's transfer window is already open 🙂

    8. megatronaldinho
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      um. take it less seriousy. god forbid u end up like us

    9. Tiote on Peyote

      Chill man, you'll get over it.

    10. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Why are you writing in here rather than just deleting it? Don't be such a drama queen. You can't expect everything to go in your favour. It's an unpredictable game.

  15. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years

    I know tough fixtures coming up, but are they going to buy another left b k or is galloway looking good for a run?

  18. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Can't see any good reason why a manager would have Barkley in their team this week

    1. Thick Of It
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Apart from form.

      1. Tabasco

    Pointer to self, never EVER assume a home fixture to Everton is good.

      Sell Cedric and buy one of Shaw or Darmian and keep for the season
