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.

    All those people with "oh my Aguero, Silva,Yaya fail" - they will end up top at the end of season, obvious there will be games that they blank, just stop it.

    1. 4vets

      +1

      The short term is important though. If they blank the next 2/3 games their price drops

      They may be top at the end of the season but that is not enough.

      In the games they blank, you missed the players with bigger points.

    Sterling has had a good game to be fair. Love both the balls he played. The one to Silva for the bar and the one to Kola. Visionary.

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. He has done a good job so far.

      Bloody hope they get a goal soon

  7. PSEBJ27
    • 10 Years

    Sagna has had a great game too...really good defensively.

  8. SpaceCadet

    How many baps is costa on?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      1

    2. ronmadpirlo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Is Gomis a good option to bring in despite the average fixtures?

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Gomis or Diouf, I would go with Diouf as he gets plenty of chances in a game

  9. Green Arrow
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    What a waste of a wildcard. Eff off silva. Eff off Aguero. Had Hazard and Sterling, but brought in these two wastes instead. Yes, I'm annoyed.

    1. Hyperion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      It's only one game.

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I take it your Grav is incorrect this GW then 😀

    3. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      There are still a few games left in the season.

    4. Sp0rting
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      Change you username and grav to Red Arrow.

    5. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You would think the season finishes in August

      1. Green Arrow
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        But that's one wildcard for six months now!

      wait for next game.

  10. Hyperion
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    0.1 short of Ivan, Mane, Rooney -> Kolarov, Silva, Costa.

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      yaya instead of silva

      1. Hyperion
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Oh yeah that's what I meant. 🙁

    Why do players persist with short corners!

    They should be banned

  12. n-doggg
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Mane suspected to be out for next week?

  13. PSEBJ27
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Stop passing to Navas on the corners! The man can't cross for crap

  14. Venom Snake

    City's kind run hasn't even started yet 😎

    Girlfriend walked in and said “Target got those points!” I told her didn’t know you played fantasy. She looks at me confused and hands me a scented candle. My mind is all about this game

  20. Optimus.
    • 14 Years

    It should be a 3 game ban for a short corner

  21. Kudo Warrior

    People are so fickle. 1 gw and they moan about the great players which didn't score this week; MARATHON children...

  22. Hakuna Juan Mata

    Need Southampton to hold out for 15 more minutes

  23. Scoredelario

    Why does navas get so much game time? He has no end product

  24. Heydudes13

    Lol @ picking Kompany over Kolarov for goal threat

    1. Tabasco
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      I picked Kolarov and I still don't like your post.

      Look - on this site we are here generally to help each other. All these LOL @ this and that is getting tiresome. I'll just start picking and choosing who I give my opinions too. Idiots

  25. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    My Sky game must be delayed. I could swear there's over 15 minutes left but everyone is saying Silva, Kun and Yaya have failed.

  26. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 5 months ago

    Please don't let me down again silva. I shifted Hazard for you and just like last season when I brought u in u went right off the boil!

    1. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 5 months ago

      You shifted Hazard?

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 5 months ago

        Sadly yes for Silva based purely on form.

        Fail.

    What does the A and S in BAPS stand for. Doesn't it mean bonus points.

    I've already got by highest score of the season by 20+ points but a Kun/Yaya Goal/Assist would really be nice.
    Along with Cedric keeping a clean sheet.
    And Sanchez doing something tomorrow.
    Not too much to ask for
