There are a pair of 4pm kick-offs for our Sunday afternoon assessment, as Everton host Manchester City, while Watford search for their first win against an out-of-sorts Southampton outfit.

The Toffees punished Saints’ new look defence last weekend, ranking joint-second for big chances (three) behind Stoke City (five). The Merseysiders placed fourth for home clean sheets (eight) in the previous campaign but face a tall task trying to pacify Man City’s effervescent attack, considering they put three past Chelsea’s experienced back line.

Saints boss Ronald Koeman will be looking for a big response from his players at Vicarage Road, having watched them ship five goals in their opening two league clashes. No side has conceded more goal attempts from set pieces (eight) than Southampton this season and it will be interesting to see if Quique Flores’ side can look to exploit that apparent weakness.

    1. BLACKSHEEP
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Died.

    2. Gaffers
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

  2. Gaffers
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    God, I'm hating Cedric. Might need to bring him in, even though everyone in my ML owns already

  3. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    So who's doing Aguero>Costa? 😛

  4. Eden Hazardous
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    12 BPS for Cedric followed by 10 for Romeu and 9 for Gomes

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I may just have to bring Cedric back in for Ogbonna

    2. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

        • 12 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Right wing

        1. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          3 at the back then? Didn't see that coming. Can't imagine it'll be long term formation.

      3. thunder_mike
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Playing a 352 as a wingback!

  7. The Happy One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Payet + Rooney >> Mahrez + Aguero for free? A no brainer?

    1. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

  8. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    hart sccreaming YAYA again?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Think he's saying "Manga!" as in Mangala, keeping the defence in check

  9. thes7s
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Barkely is a great box to box player.

  10. henryleeds
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sakho > Wilson looks like a no brainer with Bournemouth's fixtures doesn't it?

    1. johnbarnes
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      not sure, could be a flash in the pan and you'd end up chasing points.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Yes.

    3. rjcv177
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I did Sakho to Diouf

    4. Jar Jar Dinks
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      If the knee-jerk is a reflex then it's a no brainer. I think you are technically correct.

  11. jam sandwich
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Kun (c), Silva, Kompany... I'm feeling 7 points from these

  12. rjcv177
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    For a hit.

    Darmian for kolarov, or Eriksen for Yaya??

    Help, please

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      No, awful hit

      1. rjcv177
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

    2. addictedtofpl
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Waste of a hit

      1. rjcv177
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Ok, in that case would u wildcard this?

        Panti+Schwarz
        Darmian, cedric, Jenk, Huth, richards
        Sanchez, Eriksen, Mane, Mahrez, Holaahn
        Aguero, Benteke, Diouf

  13. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Just when I thought Mane could get no more disappointing.

    sigh

  14. johnbarnes
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    How I would love for Hazard to score 10+ and for Pedro to blank next week. Just to console me of the fact that I can't do the transfer!

  15. El Berbossa - \\\"El b…
    • 14 Years

    1. Breadbin
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Replace Everton with your name.

    2. PainInDiaz
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Add 'Breadbin' before the word 'Fkn'

  16. Gravless wonder
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez at 75% of FFF and 29% on fplstats...why the big difference?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      75.2 on fplstats

    2. BLACKSHEEP
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Because they have both got different algorithms for working it out. Neither is right yet.

    3. BLACKSHEEP
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Or perhaps wrong Sanchez. Haha.

  17. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

  21. JedJez
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Is it all city, or are Everton putting up a good fight?

    1. COW
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      They seem to be coming back in to it.

    2. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
