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

      Why Antonio is not on pens...

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Difficult to score a header when the ball is stationary.

      2. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Nyron Nosworthy
            • 9 Years

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

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

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

      3. Dimen

        penalty for Zaza IMO

      4. Capoue

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

        1. Jasoooooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

        ozil to a lpool mid, would you?

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

          No, I'd keep Ozil

        2. El Patron
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Yes, Sanchez is all you need from the arse.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            that is true, thanks

          Possibly.

        I look forward to kicking Redmond out of my team.

          • 10 Years

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

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Hazardous1983
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Told u payet fail should av got in sterling or cout

      11. some witty pun

        is rashford nailed on?

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. some witty pun
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            ouch, united's fixtures after stoke are hard

            not sure on getting in rashford

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

              Derby 4-3 all good having attack from both.

      12. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Redmond is rather petulant

      13. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        OMG nothing

      14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

        West ham look poor

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

          • Shultan
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            I agree! But its only been 20 mins

          • walkman666
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            It is a pretty lame match so far.

        2. KOLASINA(C)
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Koyuate lol, what a dive. 😆

        3. Royal5
          • 14 Years

          Koyate looks extremely clumsy

        4. OldSchool
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          How did Ibra look last game?

          1. Make United Great Again
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

            Don't listen to them 🙂

          2. Nyron Nosworthy
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Like a 35 year old lol

          3. Hanniballus
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Very good.

          4. Jasoooooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

          5. Live Lad
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

          6. Shultan
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

        5. Plagued by indecision
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Well this is dull so far

        6. D0GS B0110XS FC
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 6 months ago

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

            • Make United Great Again
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

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

              1. D0GS B0110XS FC
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 6 months ago

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

                1. some witty pun
                  • 13 Years
                  9 years, 6 months ago

                  i think rooney plays upfront midweek

            • Shultan
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

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

          2. Daniyal
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            why isn't james collins playing?

            1. Make United Great Again
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

              Poor form.

          3. Nyron Nosworthy
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Worzel Gummidge... Top Lad.

            West Ham need to attack with more pace.

          4. Messiah Hazard

            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

            3. Make United Great Again
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 6 months ago

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

          5. Jafooli
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

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

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 6 months 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.

              If Redmond blanks, who would you swap to:

              Sterling
              De Bruyne
              Firmino
              Son

              (Have Aguero but no Spurs/Liverpool cover)

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