Sunday’s events conclude at St Mary’s as Southampton play host to Sean Dyche’s Burnley.

The Saints will be seeking a fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League, a seventh in a row in all competitions.

Visitors Burnley will need to improve their attacking threat in order to threaten that record. The Clarets have scored just five goals from their seven matches, creating three big chances – the fewest in the Premier Leauge.

The Saints attack has disappointed with just seven goals scored in their seven matches. However, the statistics show that they have the potential to improve on that record in this one: Claude Puel’s side have produced a shot on goal every 4.8 minutes at St Mary’s – only Liverpool have been more threatening in home matches this season.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Surely those of us with Antonio have to keep JUST ONE more week?

    Sunderland at home next. Final chance right?

    If I follow the masses and bring Theo in he will get hurt, Antonio will go up front and score a hat trick.

    Right????

    1. makaveli123

      Don't think he'll score a hat trick, but I am keeping him at least one more GW.

    2. davies

      I'd agree if he wasn't playing wingback.

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It's quite bizarre. Besides Milner and maybe Valencia under Red nose, how many players show up on a Saturday morning and not know where they are playing that day AT ALL. Surely he must train at rb or cf during the week though.

        1. davies
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          You'd think they'd work on their shape during the week - but saying that, you'd assume not based on their recent form!

          1. Stupendous
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Antonio and Capoue to Theo and Allen? Would leave me with...

            Grant
            Holebas. Walker. Koscielny
            Firm.Theo.Sanchez.Allen.Sterling
            Lukaku. Aguero

            Pickford. Lovren. Diomande. Kingsley

            1. davies
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Like it if you're settled on 352

              1. Stupendous
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Yea I'm loving 352 atm. Prolly best to not lose more money on Antonio and Capoue maybe soon. Seem logical moves?

                1. davies
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Deffo, just monitor price changes. I'm looking at Antonio & Rashford out for a hit - but I've also got an appalling defence and I want Allen.

                  WC?.. Used.

                  1. Stupendous
                    • 13 Years
                    9 years, 5 months ago

                    Missed out on last night's and yea used my WC pal

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sold him last week for a hit.

      • Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        West Ham won their first game in weeks and they kept a clean sheet whilst before they have been conceding a tonne of goals . Changing a winning team would not make a great deal of sense ?

      • sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'm keeping. No need to panic at that price, fixture and stats imo.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          But his stats were awful this week ?

      • Qubit
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not a chance. Will likely be right back again. Had him for a bit like that last season, not happening again. Gotta go.

        1. Stupendous
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Ok cheers

    4. Volley127

      Unreal.

    5. Jasoooooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 5 months ago

      Capoue -> Allen for a -4 point hit and then bench Austin against City?? I know it seems crazy but Hull are conceding goals for fun atm and Allen seems to be at the centre of all of their attacks. Also means that I can jump on Allen's price rises early.

      1. umerlfc
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        See how Austin does today and then go with your guts

      2. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Man City don't keep many cleanies, I'd maybe even be tempted to play Austin, don't own him myself

        -4 for Joe Allen seems a bit counter-intuitive

    6. brett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Heart in my mouth for Austin there. C'mon Charlie.

    7. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is it a good time to sell capoue?
      All 25 teams in ML (except 2) have him & im looking for a differential
      I want to keep defence as it is for next week & attack is following

      Sanchez/theo/firmino/barry/cap
      Rashford/kun/costa
      2.8 ITB
      Who do i sell 1st rashford or capoue

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 5 months ago

          It's tempting but (has been) ideal 1st on bench.

      2. Jasoooooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Wow come on Austin!

      3. Scotty B
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Heaton
        Clyne Amat Vertonghen
        Antonio Firmino Snodgrass Sterling
        Ibrahimovic Lukaku Aguero

        Pickford Capoue Collins Evans

        Is it worth taking a hit to get Walcott in for Antonio or just do Sterling > Walcott?

      4. England's Number 1
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Need Stoke cover.

        Current team

        Jakupovic, Gomes
        Bellerin, Williams, Johnson (out for 3 weeks), Smith, Friend
        Ozil, Firmino, Antonio, Capoue, Snodgrass
        Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney

        A) Jakupovic >> Grant
        B) Johnson >> Pieters
        C) Capoue/Snodgrass >> Allen

        1. umerlfc

          C

          • 14 Years

          You don't need Stoke cover. Your team is fine.

          1. England's Number 1
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Don't like having injured/out of form players in my team, but thanks!

        3. MidTableFantasy
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          B

          Although I did A only because I had Foster (bad fixtures) + Jaku (not playing). Once Foster's poor fixtures are through Butland will likely return.

          1. England's Number 1
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Jaku could return after Marshall conceded 6

        4. MTPockets
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Need? I wouldn't be rushing for the stoke defence after one game.

            1. England's Number 1
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Want is probably a better word. Good fixtures.

                  Quite a few I'm suspecting.

          Stones & Valencia > Koscielny & Holebas for a hit?

          1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I have the same dilemma. Not for a hit. Stones has been useless and I can't seem to shake him.

            1. dashdriver
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I agree, but I haven't taken any hits yet, and as these are "long term transfers" it is kind of tempting. The alternative would be Valencia to Holebas this week, and then Stones to Koscielny next week.

          Which long term combo for a draft league?

          A) Antonio & Bony/Wilson

          B) Arnautovic & Bony/Wilson

          C) Redmond/Stanislas & Slimani

          Blimey. Over 60 pts with Firmino left and still my minileague rival has passed me with over 80 and counting.

            I was leading my MLs, scored 22 points yesterday, not even musted up the courage to see how far I've fallen.

            Still, a 60 pt+ score this week is very very good 😉

          No clean sheets would be great.
