After Everton defeated West Ham 2-0 at Goodison earlier, we now turn our attentions to St Mary’s as Southampton entertain Chelsea at 4pm.

Diego Costa and Eden Hazard boast the greatest threat as the Blues look to grab a fourth successive league win.

The Spain international – who remains one yellow away from a single-match ban – has netted four goals in as many road trips, whilst Hazard has notched in each of his last four starts for club and country.

Chelsea’s recent move to 3-4-3 has harvested three straight clean sheets in the top-flight, though their hosts have been similarly resilient in front of their own fans.

The Saints have conceded just one goal in their last five home matches in all competitions and have been breached on only eight occasions over the first nine Gameweeks.

With a trip to Hull next up on their agenda, Nathan Redmond and Charlie Austin have the chance to stake a claim for our consideration, as the latter looks to net for the third successive league outing.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Thinking of the following for a -4

    Benteke, snodgrass & walcott > Austin, Moses & firmino

    What do you think?

    1. Scotty B
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Go for it

  2. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Bellerin + Theo -> Evans + Hazard?

  3. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Why is everyone selling Walcott?

    1. gilljohniez
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Probably based on his history with injuries.

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Out of spite. Bought him in and he blanks then gets injured.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      good option but how will he fit in when everyone is back fit?

      1. rivercityransom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        he will keep playing because he's playing his best football in years

    4. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Because he didn't play.

    5. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Injured, giroud and Ramsey back and some see Spurs as a tough game, I see goals, he's got another 2/3 gws at least for me

    6. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's not the flash in the pan this week. So must get rid for the current one! (I'm keeping)

  4. Jay_
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Moses 30bps without the clean sheet 12. Would have been pushing for 3 bonus. Great performance

  5. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    First week in ages get a good captain score and not going to do much in OR. Tough.

  6. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    73 pts with Grant left to play this GW has been good to me.

    1. Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      exatly the same as me 73...grant to get cs also 🙂

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah too right would love a CS and an extra point with 4 saves 🙂

      incredible

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years

        Lot of Costa and Lukaku, many captained as well

    2. Del Monte

      Scored 28 today, 100 overall.

        Nice one

        Brilliant that

    3. Syd.

      I got 22

    4. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

      Spews

  8. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Chelsea look a totally different team this season

  9. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Azpi on 2 baps. Alonso may not be the clear cut choice.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Did they both play WB?

      1. rivercityransom
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        azpi plays in the back 3, moses and alonso are the wingbacks

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Prefer the WB then

      2. StalkingDwarf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Azpi playing as cb and Alonso almost plays as a winger. Alonso is the more fun option, but consistent BAPs are always tempting.

      3. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No Azpi in back 3.

  10. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anybody watching Spurs?

    Who's been better, Alli or Eriksen?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alli by a country mile.

    2. Niemi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alli

    3. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      City, Liv Arsenal and Chelsea have much better attacking options in the same price range

    4. Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alli. Eriksen is awful atm.

  11. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Foster / Pickford
    Vert / Williams / Holbas / Kelly / Amat
    Sanchez / Firmino / Coutinho / Son / Allen
    Aguero / Lukaku / Rashford

    Pickford and Rashford > Heaton and Austin for -4?

    Or do Austin and Williams > Stones -4?

    Poor Blackline next week, all away tough fixtures.

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Help..

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years

        Think i'd go Williams to Leicester def.

    Which transfer is best out of these?
    A. Lovren to Alonso
    B. Lukaku to Costa
    C. Sanchez to Hazard

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Oven Glover

      A easy

  14. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who gets the winning goal bps in a 2-0, if first and second scorer are different?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      1st

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      First. The winning goal.

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The first scorer...

    4. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Aah, thanks. Makes sense but you never know with these systems.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        5-0 5th goal would be silly.

        1. fedolefan
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It's not a judgement call for the winning goal? There may be cases where a game is in the balance at 1-0, but the second goal is what knocks the stuffing out of a team. 5-0 is an extreme case.

    5. Pipermaru
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Winning goal is the one that "breaks" the draw, so in case of 2-0 is the first goal

  15. Kante Be Bothered
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Matic could of had 2 assists this game. Crazy to get him?

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Decent option, playing a little more positively this season. I wouldn't get him tho, unless a standout 4th mid option comes up in that range. Most have Costa, some have Haz. They are the ones really from Chelski

  16. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's the average thus far ladies and gents

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Overall: 52

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Should read Top 1K

      2. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        More than that.

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          FFF has 52/64, but I know they aren't the most reliable.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      71 from 9. If only wally and Valencia played.....

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Same. I'm on 83 pre today's baps, so 91. Surprised myself this week. Hopefully Amat plays and keeps a cleanie

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years

      Cheers gents

  17. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    82 from 10 with the moghty Joe Allen to go. Very happy with that

  18. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How did Redmond look today?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea bossed game.

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Austin the way to go in that attack

  19. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Evening!

    Cech Pickford
    Lovren Holebas Pieters Amat Robertson
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Shaqiri Carrick
    Kun Lukaku Deeney

    Thinking Deeney and Robertson out for Austin and Fuchs (-4).

    Confirm?

  20. Clucas

    Hi guys,

    I really need some help over here:

    walker - lovren - smith

    coutinho-firmino-sanchez-mata-payet

    kaku - deeney

    2.4 ITB

    What would you do? I think everyone is going with Aguerro the next week

    Any advice is appreciated 🙂

  21. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years

    84 with Allen to go.
    Best ever single GW I think. Happy days.
    Come on Welsh Pirlo.

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well done Badger 🙂

      1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, feels good after 2 sub 40pt weeks.

  22. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Costa is a good boy now. No more yellows

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      That's cos he knows he'll get suspended. Great for owners because more baps.

  23. Shifty
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    71 feels like a distinctly sub-par score this week 😕

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      True that almost all the heavy hitters scored this week. Everyone got points!
      I don't own Hazard, Lukaku & Costa still managed reach 69 pts with Siggy to go.

  24. People in Preston
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I think Conte's new system suits Costa. He's not getting into those running one-on-one battles with central defenders, and keeping his cool.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Be honest, he needs a drug testing. Unnatural behaviour.

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm sure Costa would qualify for a TUE with any anti-anger pill.

  25. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Really hate that Chelsea clean sheet.

  26. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Chelsea look impressive

    That 3-4-3 formation is working a treat

  27. Shifty
    • 13 Years

    baps for costa?

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

  28. Pedram

    Any chance of Amat playing tomorrow ?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      God I hope so, but really don't think there is.

  29. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years

    Get me 5 points Allen!! 95pts!!

  30. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years

    Choose:

    A) Chadli

    B) Redmond

    Appreciate your thoughts!
