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 thinking that Sanchez is essential and I have to get him so which way to get him:
    A ibra Antonio --> Rashford/Deeney Sanchez for -4
    B ibra --> rashford and get Sanchez next week for no hit
    C save and do ibra Antonio--> rashford/deeney Sanchez

    Took a hit last week so not sure about taking another hit but it seems that I have to so I can get Sanchez.
    Also want to get rid of masuaku at a point.
    Any other suggestions??????

      10 years, 24 days ago

      Taking a hit to get out Ibra this week is madness!

      1. Dasher0303
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Yes but it's to get rashford and also Sanchez is a must

  2. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Price movement force me to pull the trigger tonight.

    Which one to sell to fund Sanchez.

    Baines ➡ Williams / Lovren

    Tekkers ➡ Deeney

    1. La Roja
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Sell Baines

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Thanks LR 🙂

        1. La Roja
          10 years, 24 days ago

          What do I do below?

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

      Would want to wait and see if Baines injury is serious, but if he is fit next weekend I would say B. But if you have to pull the trigger tonight A. is more safe.

      1. S.Kuqi
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Cheers Teddi

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

      Tekkers to Deeney or Austin. Baines will get two weeks to heal after this Friday whether he plays or not. You/we (I have Baines, too) can afford to hold.

  3. La Roja
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Really unsure if I should do this

    Ozil ➡ Sanchez (c) -4

    Yay or nay?

    1. S.Kuqi
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Tough one. I would probably stick atleast one more week

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Yes

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

      I'd say yay, but I play aggressive. Sanchez seems to be back to the way he was two years ago when was at Aguero level for big points. He seems truly a must-have.

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

      With everyone appearing to overlook ozil, I'd keep him as a potentially excellent differential. I know I am.

      1. Nicks93
        10 years, 24 days ago

        He is being overlooked for a good reason

    5. Zasa
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nay, IMO

    6. Still Unsure
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Aye. I'm thinking Antonio/Ozil - Snoddy/Sanchez as I feel like Sanchez is becoming too good not to have.

    7. Slippy
      10 years, 24 days ago

      yeah

    8. Cecil The Lion
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Nay. But what would I know

  4. Lecky Legs FC
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Is anyone keeping Haz for GW 7? I might wait to see how he gets on vs Hull if he blanks again then I will get after the International Break.

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

      I'm keeping Costa for the Hull game. I can Chelsea getting back amongst the goals.

  5. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Hey guys, have exactly enough to do Friend --> Smith before price changes.

    Should I get in Smith or Holebas to replace Friend. Want to do it tonight before Friend's price drop.

    Cheers

    1. HNI
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Is friend injured? If not why replacing him?

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

        Awful fixtures.

  6. CABAYE4
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Looking for a 4.6 defender to play the next two GW's; who do people think is the best option? (already have a Watford defender).

    Bournemouth defence maybe?

    1. Backup Dancer
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Smith is your man

      1. CABAYE4
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Fixtures look good and always a threat.

        Cheers

  7. Numb
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Just the standard goal and 3 bps for Capoue tomorrow?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I'll be the only one on here praying for a blank

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Please please.And a Deeney hatrick should see me rise up the ranks.

    3. HNI
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I want a blank as dint play AOA for him and now Friend is coming from Bench for injured Baines...I took your advice and hope it rewards me with good pts next with Barkley + Capoue both home !

  8. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Who to captain:

    A. Aguero (tot)
    B. Sanchez (bur)
    C. Lukaku (CPA)
    D. Payet (MID)

    and who to bench:

    1.Walker (MCI)

  9. Clump
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Bit of context for Antonio owners:
    Average score today 1.9 Top 10k, 1.9 Overall.
    He might have earned you a green. 🙂

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

      The Payet yellow was lovely

      1. Clump
        10 years, 24 days ago

        🙂

  10. Pirlø's Pen
    10 years, 24 days ago

    KDB + Walker ---> Mane + Bellerin + cash itb.

    -4.

    views?

    1. CABAYE4
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Walker to Bellerin not worth a hit.

  11. Capoue
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Why is austin not that popular? He is cheap and better fot than long...yes he is not nailed... Whats wrong him?...

    1. kalmoffit
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Peeps want Rashford

      1. Capoue
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Why is thay

        1. kalmoffit
          10 years, 24 days ago

          Plays for ManU and will score points stood next to keeper.

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 24 days ago

      You have just answered your own question there!!!

  12. Cecil The Lion
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Foster Pickford
    Walker Coleman Holebas Amat Kingsley
    Firmino Payet Antonio Chadli Capoue
    Aguero Ibrahimovic Janssen

    1FT 0.1itb

    Wildcard disaster. Save the FT and come back after next GW?

    1. Teror
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I'd take a few hits if I were you. Three or four should sort you out.

      1. Cecil The Lion
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Sounds like a massive kneejerk directly after a WC

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 24 days ago

      That is one ugly team

      1. Cecil The Lion
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Helpful as always, I see.

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          10 years, 24 days ago

          You're welcome

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

      Yeah save transfer. Looks fine for next gameweek!

      1. Cecil The Lion
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Can't tell if you're being sarcastic but of course it looked fine yesterday morning as well 🙁

    4. TooDifficuIt
      10 years, 24 days ago

      your problem is the mid rest is okay for now, try to get sanchez

    5. Rhinos
      10 years, 24 days ago

      2 West ham and no Arsenal seems wrong. Sterling or another liv mid better than Payet

      1. Cecil The Lion
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Cheers Rhinos

  13. Teror
    10 years, 24 days ago

    So which Arsenal defender should I get on my WC?

    A. Cech

    B. Koscielny

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I got kos this week and happy with him so far.got me 6 points,off the bench mind you.

  14. Rhinos

        10 years, 24 days ago

        Rising...

  15. waltzingmatildas
    10 years, 24 days ago

    What do you reckon to doubling up with ibra and Rashford for one week?
    Also, is Sanchez only ars mid worth having?

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Worth it. Another mauling on the cards

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

      Ozil, Walcott and iwobi all viable picks.

    3. Numb
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Yes
      No - also Ozil, Cazorla and Walcott

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

      Could be very fruitful indeed. Walcott a good option also

    5. Dasher0303
      10 years, 24 days ago

      No and yes

  16. Thomass
    10 years, 24 days ago

    What should I do with this lot?
    Foster (4.0)
    Walker Stones Baines Amat 4.0
    Sterling Antonio Eriksen Hazard (Oviedo)
    Costa Lukaku Slimani
    Got 1ft and £1.8m ITB

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Get Aguero for a hit. Sell Eriksen or Hazard

      1. Thomass
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah will do!

    2. ZLATANisKING
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Haz > sanchez

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        10 years, 24 days ago

        or this

  17. Humlesnurr
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Hi guys! My team feels empty without Alexis. Playing 3-4-3.

    Foster - Heaton
    Valencia - Baines - McAuley - Collins - Amat
    Firmino - Sterling - Antonio - Snod - Capoue
    Ibra - Kun - Kaku

    A) Firmino, kaku -> Sanchez, Austin -4
    B) Antonio, kaku -> Sanchez, Stuani -4 (3-5-2)
    C) Antonio, ibra -> Sanchez, deeney/defoe/Rashford -4

    Leaning towards B, with the toffees declining form and fixture i think Ibra and a promising united will provide more points. Thoughts?

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 24 days ago

      c)

    2. ZLATANisKING
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I am ditching kaku for sanchez
      If possible get austin and sanchez

    3. Humlesnurr
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I feel dirching ibra now is madness after one blank and Stoke (H) upcoming.

    4. Humlesnurr
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Loose antonio or firm?

  18. DA Minnion (Former great)
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Even if capoue blanks tomorrow I don't mind.will be able to watch the game without fear of missing his points yet again.

    1. Johan Queef
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I've had him on the bench every game so far this season and I've still left him there this week...it's gonna be a tense Monday night for me.

  19. FPL Footy Show Pod
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Almost ready to pull the trigger to bring Rashford in. He's better choice than Defoe or Deeney right?

    Bench Redmond next week and try resist a -4 for Barkley to Walcott

    1. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 24 days ago

      No, Deeney has great fixtures, Just because United are the bigger team doesn't make Rashford the better choice, think last week 😉

    2. Epic Fail
      10 years, 24 days ago

      All 3 are good options.

    3. GREENDREAMS11
      10 years, 24 days ago

      United have 3 decent fixtures in the next 9 games, Watford have 7 or 8 if you think a home game to Leicester is decent atm. That's what I would be looking at. Also, will Rashford get the big games, he has only gone the 90 minutes once this season

  20. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Thoughts on Clyne as an option?

    1. Clump
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Decent.

    2. Styles_X
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Fixtures are good and he has attacking potential but clean sheets wise Liverpool don't look that good.

    3. CABAYE4
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Far too expensive for leaky defence.

      You can get Spurs, Man U or Everton defences at that price.

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

      Too expensive for Liverpool's defence

  21. Styles_X
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Smith or holebas?

  22. Psojkee
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Want to buy Sanchez.
    Have this:
    Foster-Jaku
    Valencia-Baines-MCauley-Collins-Amat
    Sterling-Antonio-Firmino-Januzaj-Capoue
    Aguerooooo-Lukaku-Ibra

    Want to do: Ibra>Deneey/Ighalo/Rashford/... and Sterling>Sanchez (-4)

    How it looks?

    1. Styles_X
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Looks good.

  23. S.Kuqi
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Best def for 5.0 and below?

    Lovren, Holebas or Williams perhaps?

    1. Styles_X
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Fixtures wise all are good but for cleanies Williams or holebas might be the best option

  24. HNI
    10 years, 24 days ago

    with long KDB lay off, Sanchez value with go up by 0.3mn this week with straight swap..Damn wanted Sanchez as a small differential for bit longer

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

      Yeah bit annoying alright

    2. t4thomas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Same.

  25. Jamie_GAWA
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Is Walker the only Spurs defender worth getting?

  26. t4thomas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 24 days ago

    How did Antonio get on today?

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

    Ibra set to suffer a 0.3 drop in this week?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 24 days ago

      At least 0.2. 0.3 will be much harder as 200K need to sell after next drop, not the current 50K.

  28. EDEN THE MAN
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Suppose Deeney blanks tomoz.

    Deeney--Rashford?

    Yay or Nay

  29. Lecky Legs FC
    10 years, 24 days ago

    Worth doing a -4 hit on one of the following

    A) Haz & KDB > Sanchez & Sterling

    B) Haz & KDB > Sanchez & Mane

    1. Cok3y5murf
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Worth for both, but I would do B

    2. Clump
      10 years, 24 days ago

      I'd say so. Won't do TV any harm either.

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        10 years, 24 days ago

        Yeah I guess so Mane in along with Sanchez then?

    3. Epic Fail
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Sterling or Mane?

      Sterling.

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      10 years, 24 days ago

      Yes
