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 am in an absolute mess after the KDB 4 week injury.

    Can someone give me some suggestions on where to spend the money? I have just wildcard;

    GK: Karius, Jakupovic
    Def: Walker, Stones, Jagielka, Holebas, Amat
    MF: KDB, Sanchez, Mane, Capoue, Carrick
    ST: Aguero, Janssen, Deeney

    I am looking at doubling up on Arsenal with Ozil looking at their fixtures. I know Sterling is doing very well but I don't believe he can keep his form up. Any other suggestions?

    Thinking to do Antonio to Coutino ( on set pieces and looks involved to get goals/ assists in form Liverpool team) on FT. Already have Firmino.
    Antonio plays Mid H
    Liverpool away to Swansea.
    Pool team look a team to double up and on form.
    Does it look too kneejerking or should I do it.

          That makes loads of sense.... no, watching football in a stadium that doesn't lend it self to watching football (too far from pitch) takes away that bit of magic when you go to watch your club.

      Chance of him sustaining an injury that keeps him out is probably only around 20% at best. So, go with confidence! (warning: This is purely my assessment and based off of no certain facts.)
