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

      I'm with you. I have to believe we have a lot of children on this site.

      1. how now brown cow
        10 years, 24 days ago

        To be fair my kids constant poo wee sick fart conversations seem more grown up.

          Hehe

    9. Shultan
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I wish it could! It like instragram on here at times

    10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I would absolutely be behind you with this. My worse thing about such a good site

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Do any mods on here have an opinion. Could try and keep it for grown ups

        1. how now brown cow
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Maybe i'm being particularly old and grumpy today.

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            10 years, 24 days ago

            Nah mate I'm same.

            A lot of these type are probably going through puberty so hormones making them angry . Suppose I have to live and let live

    11. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Ah no they're funny, just a bit of fun, nothing sinister.

  4. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Why Antonio is not on pens...

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Difficult to score a header when the ball is stationary.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      This a trick question? I would say because Noble is.

      1. Nyron Nosworthy
        10 years, 24 days ago

        He ws ussing saracasim

    3. Royal5
      10 years, 24 days ago

      🙄

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Cos you usually kick it into the net, not head it. Seriously, Noble, and he converts them.

    5. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah he could head it off the spot and still score.

  5. Dimen
    10 years, 24 days ago

    penalty for Zaza IMO

  6. Capoue
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Whats the hype with rashford.. Is he a star in the making...or what...im really intrigue....

    1. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nah, he's a 35 year old who's retiring this year. Never been a star I must say

    2. Hanniballus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Look at his stats. Excellent. Does not mean he will be a star, but there is cause to believe he can be.

    3. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 24 days ago

      This question has been answered.

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Quality young player. Hopefully he gets the game time he deserves.

  7. some witty pun
    10 years, 24 days ago

    ozil to a lpool mid, would you?

    1. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 24 days ago

      No, I'd keep Ozil

    2. El Patron
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Yes, Sanchez is all you need from the arse.

      1. some witty pun
        10 years, 24 days ago

        no sanchez. 🙁

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Someone else? His fixtures are excellent, and while Cazorla is taking spot kicks more than Ozil compared to last year (Cazorla was hurt for much of it), Ozil will be involved in the scoring, IMO.

      1. some witty pun
        10 years, 24 days ago

        that is true, thanks

    4. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Possibly.

  8. Wilshere Knowledge
    10 years, 24 days ago

    I look forward to kicking Redmond out of my team.

  9. Hazardous1983
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Payet fail. Martin tyler does not how.to commentate boring as hell. So lathargic. Like hes commentating a friendly

    1. Licky
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Well United aren't playing.

    2. GS456
      10 years, 24 days ago

      a commentator is only as good as the game, what do you want him to say when the games like this.

  10. Royal5
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Lol @ Austin playing wide

  11. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Wouldn't mind an Antonio RC

    1. some witty pun
      10 years, 24 days ago

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

    3. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Know your audience!

  12. Dimen
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Payet not getting forward enough... I don't even see him anywhere near front when they're attacking.

    1. Hazardous1983
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Told u payet fail should av got in sterling or cout

    2. Nyron Nosworthy
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Great observation 'Dimen'! Keep it up buddy!

  13. some witty pun
    10 years, 24 days ago

    is rashford nailed on?

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Probably for the next few games. Martial will be putting him under pressure when he's fit though.

      1. some witty pun
        10 years, 24 days ago

        ouch, united's fixtures after stoke are hard

        not sure on getting in rashford

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Derby 4-3 all good having attack from both.

  14. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Redmond is rather petulant

  15. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 24 days ago

    OMG nothing

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 24 days ago

    West ham look poor

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Agreed. Looking at my Antonio pick closely until I have a spare FT.

    2. Shultan
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I agree! But its only been 20 mins

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      It is a pretty lame match so far.

  17. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Koyuate lol, what a dive. 😆

  18. Royal5
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Koyate looks extremely clumsy

  19. OldSchool
    10 years, 24 days ago

    How did Ibra look last game?

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Excellent. But people may say he played rubbish because he didn't score.

      Don't listen to them 🙂

    2. Nyron Nosworthy
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Like a 35 year old lol

    3. Hanniballus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Very good.

    4. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Ibra played well and he was unlucky to not get any attacking points

    5. Live Lad
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Looked good. Could have score a couple. Dropped deep sometimes which worries me.

    6. Shultan
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He looked good in my opinion, had good chances. There was a bad miss from rashford from an ibra assist.

  20. Plagued by indecision
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Well this is dull so far

  21. D0GS B0110XS FC
    10 years, 24 days ago

    will rashford start next weekend with the prospect of also starting midweek in europe?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      No one knows just now unless Mou confirms. Judgement call until then.

    2. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He'll be rested midweek and play against Stoke imo.

      1. D0GS B0110XS FC
        10 years, 24 days ago

        dont think he will play ibra midweek unless he plays rooney upfront in europe

        1. some witty pun
          10 years, 24 days ago

          i think rooney plays upfront midweek

    3. Shultan
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I think rooney will start & rashford come on later like in the cup game!

  22. Daniyal
    10 years, 24 days ago

    why isn't james collins playing?

    1. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Poor form.

  23. Nyron Nosworthy
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Worzel Gummidge... Top Lad.

    West Ham need to attack with more pace.

  24. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Just got back home. Why is there no Collins in today's West Ham squad?

    1. Belsunz
      10 years, 24 days ago

      They don't want to concede 4 again.

    2. Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Because he's muck

    3. Make United Great Again
      10 years, 24 days ago

      He was shocking against West Brom so he's been dropped.

  25. Jafooli
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Ha, commentator just said West Ham play a 'crowd noise' track during game build up to create an atmosphere 😮

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Really? That is pathetic.

    2. Belsunz
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Embarrassing

    3. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Wtf that's embarrassing lol

  26. Greenbackbøøg…
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Lol apparently West Ham played crowd noises from speakers to make atmosphere seem better

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      They need it. That place should not be holding football matches. Terrible decision IMO but perhaps the deal was just too good to ignore.

    2. Nyron Nosworthy
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Cheating London Filth

    3. Jafooli
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Copy cat....

  27. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 24 days ago

    This is going to be 0-0 isn't it?

    1. Kaneyonero
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Not until Redmond bags his hattrick

  28. tm245
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Pretty ugly watch so far.

  29. KOLASINA(C)
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Free kick WHU, Payet assist Antonio goal potential

  30. Morgs
    10 years, 24 days ago

    If Redmond blanks, who would you swap to:

    Sterling
    De Bruyne
    Firmino
    Son

    (Have Aguero but no Spurs/Liverpool cover)

    1. Nyron Nosworthy
      10 years, 24 days ago

      De Bruynr is injured silly!!!!

    2. some witty pun
      10 years, 24 days ago

      KDB is dead

      i'll do firmino

    3. Live Lad
      10 years, 24 days ago

      KDB is injured you know. Why Firmino if you can get Coutinho.
