After Saturday treated us to eight matches and 29 goals, we have just a solitary fixture to focus our attentions on today.

West Ham welcome Southampton to the London Stadium as Slaven Bilic attempts to halt a run of three straight Premier League losses.

Both sides chalked up EFL Cup wins in midweek, yet while the Saints saw off Palace to rack up a third successive victory in all competitions, the Hammers had to rely on a last-minute free-kick from Dimitri Payet to see off Accrington Stanley.

With a pair of assists in each of the last two Gameweeks, the Frenchman has been in fine form since returning from injury.

Nonetheless, Payet has remained overlooked by many Fantasy managers due to the form of Michail Antonio, who has netted five times in four since being moved onto the flank.

With his defence in disarray, Bilic will be relying on that duo to get the better of a Saints side that have picked up a single point in their two road trips so far.

For the Saints, Nathan Redmond remains their most popular FPL asset despite a four-match barren streak, though Dusan Tadic is the form player heading into this one, having served up an assist in each of the last two Gameweeks.

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

  12. Team Zissou
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone thinking of trying Iwobi? Him & Capoue as 4th & 5th miss looks enticing

    1. Magic Man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      he's a beast but worried about rotation.

    2. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Far too many more attractive options

      1. Team Zissou
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        At his price?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          No, but with Ibra, Hazard and KDB seemingly off form or injured it is possible to splash the cash a little.

          1. Team Zissou
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Hmm true, thanks for pointing out the KDB injury btw, I had no idea!

    Antonio's next 3: Middlesbrough Palace Sunderland

    Walcotts: Burnley Swansea Middlesbrough

      So then it comes down to the team they play for assessed talent. Walcott wins out IMO. Until he gets hurt.

    Not only was I one of the 1.2% Son owners, also one of the 1.9% for Charlie Austin. Ecstatic with this wildcard week!

    1. Les Bleus

  18. John t penguin

    Considering the amount of players they lose to other teams I always like when Southampton do well for their fans

  21. Jamie_GAWA

    9 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio to Austin for a -24?

    🙄

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Do it quick before the price rise I'd go -28 and make one more change. 🙂

  22. Studgie G
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Long is going to score

  23. KISSES
    • 12 Years

    Is that Antonio at RB?

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      • 10 Years

      yep 🙁

  24. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    LOL@ Antonio owners! How could you buy a guy whose team sucks so much?:(

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Classy

    2. Swanremainsthesame
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      bcos he got me 11,7,13,7 since I bought him
      Lol @ non owner.

      It not about 1 week in case you hadn't noticed.

  25. Bubz

    9 years, 6 months ago

    That's it Bilic, move your top scorer into defence when you're desperately in need of a goal

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      WHM looking a better proposition already...

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah to be fair you're right

  26. Arctic monkeys
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Redmond getting desperate

  27. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Redmond is finisher worse than Wolcott.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Walcott

  28. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    When WHU need a goal, Bilic has the amazing idea of putting his leading scorer in defense.

  29. Mr. Blonde

    Poor Zaza

  30. Heels_Over_Head
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    If only you could transfer in the points scored by players in the GW before you transferred them in, everyone would transfer in like crazy fools...

    Oh, wait...

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I don't transfer in points, I transfer in the opportunity to score points.
