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

    No pace to the west ham game, they started the watford game like a house on fire

    This one very cautiously

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Might be happy with a 0-0 to stop the defeats and restart the sesson

      Bunch of little guys dribbling around and then hoping the two battering rams up front clear a path.

      He got another yellow for mouthing off the ref a few games ago, its in his nature

  3. Make United Great Again

    Redmond is an awful pick.

  4. Royal5

    Redmond yc imminent

    KDB should be out 4 weeks

    1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 6 months ago

        More goals for Sterling hopefully. Since I have him and that is how it better work.

          So you take out the sides best player and expect more goals? Doesn't seem logical

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

            Aguero says hello?

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

              KDB is the main creator in the team, very difficult to replace. Nacho stepped in for Aguero well, who does that for KDB?

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

                Not denying his talent just the 'best player' part

          2. Tansey
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            More goals from Sterling

      • Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Trust me to bring KDB this GW and get injured for a month changes my plans for tonight that

    2. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years

      Redmond to Coutinho

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

        What are you waiting for?

    3. Nyron Nosworthy
      • 9 Years

      Typical English football

    4. Krul Runnings
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      What a scrappy game this is :/

    5. AndrewTavey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone exlain why Aguero can't go up in price this week?

      1. More Tragic
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        rules

        Gives people who don't go on the FPL site more time to noticed his suspension has finished and not pay higher.

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

          Must be one of the few players ever in FPL whose price fell and then rose before his flag was removed

      3. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Players are price protected when they have a red flag removed.

        It's to stop crazy price hikes for players that have been suspended/injured.

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

        Bit annoying, that. People risking making early transfers should be rewarded with price rise if it's earned.

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

        I don't like this rule! Once the red flag has been removed it should go back to normal! Those wanting aguero can chill out knowing price wont price but everyone else is forced into early transfers for other players like rashford

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

      Redmond... God

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

        He certainly isn't!

    7. KOLASINA(C)
      • 10 Years

      West Ham play for 0-0

    8. walkman666

      I could switch back to meet the press. Jayzus. Even the announcer said, "this is a game that needs a spark."

      Austin's got such a ratty face

      Zlatan to rashford a good move ?

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I think so, it could net you 0.6m in team value in 2 weeks if nothing else... Have a sneaky feeling rashford will keep pace with zlatan in points scoring

        1. Everyday im Schneiderlin

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

        Lanzini? Payet must be wondering what he is doing on this team. He could be anywhere.
