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.

    Awful week for me until Holebas magic. This will also be the first week I'm saving a transfer.

    can anyone tell me how friend got to 31 bps? seems like a bug.

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

      MOTM for me.

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cause he's a good Friend of FPL towers.

      High workrate.

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Tackles, crosses, CBI, creating chances.

    4. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Bloomin' heck. I'll take that 🙂

    5. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Attacking, played like a winger and created most for MID

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

    How much of a mess is my team in on a scale of 1-10? I've got 20 points so far this week 🙁

    Pickford/Heaton
    Walker/Bellerin/Stones/McCauley/Amat
    Son/Sanchez/Firmino/Snodgrass/Capoue
    Kun/Benteke/Rashford

    What can be done?

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

      and 1.4 ITB

    2. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Other than Rashford, not bad at all

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

        i've got stuck with him - anyone see any moves i can do to sort out that problem?

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

          Easy upgrade with 1.4 itb
          Options like Deeney Defoe even down to Austin or Wilson

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

            Wilson is a good shout. Would probably want to downgrade as i probably want to put some money into the midfield.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Rashford is the only that sticks out in the front 8 and deffo get rid of Stones. But otherwise okay.

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

        Yeah, i want to downgrade Stones. Was thinking maybe Holebas for his potential attack returns. Either him or Williams?

    4. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd switch Stones for Valencia, Capoue for Allen and Rashford for Benteke if you can afford it

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

        Tekkers already in there

      2. Zebrahimović
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Valencia made way for Bellerin last FT. Already got Tekkers.

    5. Celt Abroad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Rashford the only questionable one. This is a good team. And I wish I got 20 points this week!

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

        I thought i was the only one. Never had a GW this bad before. Just got to hope the Liv/Utd game is an insane goalfest.

  4. Old
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Want different players in... LIV cover, WAT defender, etc.
    What would you do for GW9?

    Heaton (Pickford)
    Kos - Stones - Williams - Francis - Amat
    Sanchez - Walcott - Sterling - Son - (Flethcer)
    Aguero - Lukaku - Austin

    1 FT
    0.1 ITB

    Cheers:)

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

      Sterling > Firmino would be decent.

    2. Zebrahimović
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Francis to Holebas?

    3. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That feltcher is a pain in the bum

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

      Stones to Holebas probably, quite like the midfield. Sterling maybe out for Firmino.

  5. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Only a Heaton 10+ pointer can save me now

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

      Possibly think I'm past the point of saving, it would help mind! 😀

  6. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Any chances of a Burnley CS?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      25%

  7. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Redmond is having a pint in the last chance saloon.

  8. Marc OverMata
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I need some help here. My transfer finger is itching due to poor points haul so this GW.

    Heston/foster
    BellErin/shaw/McCauley/Coleman/Kingsley
    Capoue/redmond/haz/alexis/snod
    Kun/luk/diomande

    I got 2ft and 1.3itb

    That late dele goal killed me yesterday and I'm mindful of WBA fixtures. Do I need a change at the back. I also have too much dead weight. Red/cap/snod etc. There are also new faces to consider, Wally/Allen/ even KDB now he is fit again.

    Really could do with some advice, thanks in advance

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      get grant/pickford in for foster ?
      Pieters in for mccauley?
      Allen in for redmond?

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

      Get Charlton out of goal for a start ... 😉

      1. Marc OverMata
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I knew that typo would come Bach to haunt me. Thanks. The Allen/red swap is done. You think my othe front 7 are gtg?

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Liverpool's fixtures are about to turn really good. I'd try and free up some money to upgrade Redmond to a Liverpool mid.

  9. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I need a PVA replacement under 5.5. Who?

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Clyne close to a drop. He'd be perfect

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        This would work!

    2. Marc OverMata
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Holebas?

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

      I'm really liking Fuchs for 5.4mil, attacking, good fixtures and Leicester have only conceded 1 goal in 4 home games so far this season.

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

        Hopefully he's dropped when Chilwell returns

        1. JIM BOB
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Doesn't seem likely though, right?

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Defensively they were total bo****ks yesterday.

    4. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Pieters

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You think stoke will keep further cleanies?

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

          Good chance with their fixtures. He was very attacking yesterday

          1. sminkypinky
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Right. Saw the fixtures didn't buy the appeal. Rival did and passed me...

    5. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wimmer.

      1. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Who? 😆

  10. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Arnie over Allen if I can afford?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely

  11. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Need to downgrade (1 or 2) to upgrade (A or B)

    1. Evans -> 3.9 (got Amat)
    2. Snodgrass -> Allen (4th mid)

    A) Williams -> Vertonghen
    B) Valencia -> Mustafi

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

      Would do B, no idea which of the downgrades to do. Probably 1, if its just a temporary move.

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Tadic one on one fail

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

    Another save by Heaton, expected Tadic to score that

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

    Antonio & Rashford > Walcott & Austin (-4)?

  15. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Can I dream of a Heaton 10 pointer?

  16. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Jaku back next week? I'm starting him ahead of Foster just in case

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Be surprised but doing the same

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I did not see any of the highlights or games yesterday.
      Was Marshall at fault for any of the goals?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not seen them either mate

  17. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone got a link to the Holebas goal? My porn streams not working 😉

  18. mcrayeps
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster + morgan > stekelenburg + holebas for - 4 hit

    Yay or nay?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't swop Foster for Stek for free

      1. mcrayeps
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Foster against liverpool next week 😉 jaku on bench right now

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

      Morgan to Holebas for free looks a decent move

  19. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Tadic assist denied. Awful awful shot from Austin

    1. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      worse than awful awful

  20. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    heaton on 2 points already

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

    Tadic and Austin with two decent chances there

  22. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What the hell Austin

  23. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Jonty has already alluded to carrying out major surgery on his team this week.

    Just speculation, but What do you think he will do?

    8 point hit? 12 point hit?

    Surely too much has been said about Puncheon on the scoutcast for it to be a cold, emotionless, transactional transfer ...

    #SavePuncheon

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      12pt hit? Lol, must be an imposter

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He took an 8 point hit and his team endured major contortions to get Sanchez in GW7.

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Do you spend time thinking about other people's teams? 😯

      1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        He just needs guidance look as this username be gentle..

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

        Yep. Mainly the scoutcast chaps ... And people who post their teams on here asking for advice.

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      His team, dare I say it, is a starting to look like a "casuals" team.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I still can't believe Jonty wildcarded in GW3!

    4. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ibra will go.. for Costa imo.. and Antonio > Wally

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I think you've called it. The $64,000 question though ... What will happen to Puncheon?

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years

          Ditched for Snodgrass the week after..

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

    Watching Austin spurn chances is killing me.

  25. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Heaton save point

  26. gers23
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Worth a hit?

    Tadic and Capoue to Walcott and a 4.4?

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

      No

  27. Count of Monte Hristo

    Jakupović > Heaton or Grant and save the funds?
