After Everton defeated West Ham 2-0 at Goodison earlier, we now turn our attentions to St Maryโ€™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 โ€“ who remains one yellow away from a single-match ban โ€“ has netted four goals in as many road trips, whilst Hazard has notched in each of his last four starts for club and country.

Chelseaโ€™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
      • 13 Years

      Go for it

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

    Thoughts on Bellerin + Theo -> Evans + Hazard?

  3. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Why is everyone selling Walcott?

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

      Probably based on his history with injuries.

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

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

    3. โญ Bemba_Da โญ
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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

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

      Because he didn't play.

    5. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 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, 5 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_

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

    • denial

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

    • Lecky Legs FC
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

          • 10 Years

      Chelsea look a totally different team this season

    • StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

        Did they both play WB?

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

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

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

            Prefer the WB then

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

          No Azpi in back 3.

    • Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Anybody watching Spurs?

      Who's been better, Alli or Eriksen?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Alli by a country mile.

      2. Niemi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Alli

      3. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

      4. Belsunz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Alli. Eriksen is awful atm.

    • Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 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…

        Help..

        1. how now brown cow

      A. Lovren to Alonso
      B. Lukaku to Costa
      C. Sanchez to Hazard

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

        1st

      2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        First. The winning goal.

      3. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        The first scorer...

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

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

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

          5-0 5th goal would be silly.

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

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

    • Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 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

    • Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 14 Years

      What's the average thus far ladies and gents

      1. Swan - Villa Proud

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

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

      2. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

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

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 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

    • Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

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

    • F4L
      • 11 Years

      How did Redmond look today?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years

        Chelsea bossed game.

      2. Cok3y5murf

        Austin the way to go in that attack

    • Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years

      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?

      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 ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

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

      Costa is a good boy now. No more yellows

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

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

    • Shifty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      71 feels like a distinctly sub-par score this week ๐Ÿ˜•

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 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.

    • People in Preston
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

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

        1. Pasqualinho
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

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

    • Duke Silver โ˜‘
      • 11 Years

      Really hate that Chelsea clean sheet.

    • Syd.

      That 3-4-3 formation is working a treat
