The Dugout Discussion – West Ham United vs Southampton

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??????

    Price movement force me to pull the trigger tonight.

    Which one to sell to fund Sanchez.

    Baines ➡ Williams / Lovren

    Tekkers ➡ Deeney

      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.

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

          Far too expensive for leaky defence.

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

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