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

    West Ham waking up.

    1. Numb
      10 years, 25 days ago

    Antonio assist RIP

  12. Team Zissou
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. Magic Man
      10 years, 25 days ago

      he's a beast but worried about rotation.

    2. Ha.
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Far too many more attractive options

      1. Team Zissou
        10 years, 25 days ago

        At his price?

        1. Ha.
          10 years, 25 days 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
            10 years, 24 days ago

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

  13. Make United Great Again

    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.

  14. Arctic monkeys

    Austin Off
    Long In

    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
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Nice one!

    2. fedolefan

      My week is still nothing spectacular but they were the 2 punts for the GW so it's always a great feeling when they pay off!

  18. John t penguin
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

  19. Holding Mee Bong
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Cheers for the haul Charlie 🙂

  20. TheSteel
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Here comes Long. Hes gonna obliterate this defence.

  21. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Antonio to Austin for a -24?

    🙄

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 25 days ago

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

  22. Studgie G
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Long is going to score

  23. KISSES
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Is that Antonio at RB?

    1. jurgenklopp.8
      10 years, 25 days ago

      yep 🙁

  24. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Classy

    2. Swanremainsthesame
      10 years, 25 days 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
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

    1. Ha.
      10 years, 25 days ago

      WHM looking a better proposition already...

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 25 days ago

        Yeah to be fair you're right

  26. Arctic monkeys
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Redmond getting desperate

  27. Royal5
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Redmond is finisher worse than Wolcott.

    1. Royal5
      10 years, 25 days ago

      Walcott

  28. Les Bleus
    10 years, 25 days ago

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

  29. Mr. Blonde
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 25 days ago

    Poor Zaza

  30. Heels_Over_Head
    10 years, 25 days 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
      10 years, 25 days ago

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