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

      You are having a great game, I must say. Amazing multi tasking skills, too.

    2. Jimmers

      WHam are pretty bad which is making you look good 🙂

    Antonio inches

        Low estimate imo

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      6 when fully awakened

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

    Seems like 2 or 3 points in the bag for Redmond. Time to pack it up and watch the grass grow in the backyard.

  7. ZLATANisKING
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Antonio almoat got that correct...but for god's sake get rid of lanzini

  8. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    How do we expect City to line up now without KDB?

    Bravo
    Sagna Stones Otamendi Clichy
    Gundogan Fernandinho
    Sterling Silva Sane
    Aguero
    ?

    In that case Silva could be decent under the radar pick.

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

      For sure. Silva is FPL gold when you get him at the right time.

    2. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling's cheaper, will score more and is even more nailed with KdB and Nolito out.

    3. Morgs
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Says 75% likely to play??

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

    Lanzini is so bad, plays like Rooney today.

  10. Baby Face Nelson
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    what a rubbish match

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

    Zlatan was great yesterday.
    I'll suck up those price falls for sure.
    Saying that, if he blanks again, he's gine.

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

      He was good. Couldve had a 2 goals and an assist easily.

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I might buy Gine for a hit

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

        Grrrr

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years

    I know it's early and Antonio has been incredible so far this season even if he blanks today.. but has anyone considered Antonio > Lallana to double up with Liverpool mids?

    1. ZLATANisKING
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Austin was destined to score....he will definately be a good pick at an unbelievable price.form is on his side

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

    Will this count as a PL game? Or just a training game behind closed doors?

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

      Goal Tadic - best game ever 😆

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
