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

    Payet has been very naughty this game

    Lots of diving, screaming when fouled, throwing his arms in the air and now clapping the ref

    Snoddy (CHE) or Redmond (lei)

    Do love the comments on this site sometimes.

    As soon as a game turns 45-60mins if a player has scored, it's instantly "transfer him". Despite him being a essential player in everyone's team all week in comments.

    I have Coutinho, mainly due to not being able to afford Firmino. I still think Firmino is the better season long pick.

      He's the fifth highest scoring Liverpool mid 😀

      Often gets quite reactionary. I'm annoyed Firm dis nowt for me this week, but I'm not instantly getting rid cos of one blank.

    Time for the daily Hot Question by me. Would you rather have (A) Ericsson, (B) Son or (C) Jansen for the next two months?

    1. the Penman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Son. Unless Jansen gets his head in the game of being an actual striker.

      1. Bushido
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I haven't watched jansen play. What does he tend to do wrong?

    2. Holding Mee Bong
      • 11 Years
