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

    Pickford Capoue Evans Amat. 1ft, 0 itb

    Which option is better?

    A Snoddy > Gundogan for free
    Or
    B Snoddy + Ibra > Hazard + Austin for a -4 point hit?

    1. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years

      B easily

  2. HurriKane
    • 13 Years

    Hazard up to 3rd on fpl mid standing 1 point behind coutinho

    Hmm had him early in the season. Tempted to get him in again

    1. Js31
      • 11 Years

      Same. Tough to fit him in now have Son Firm Cout Sanchez

      Change your grav rating to "G"

  4. Poor man's Igor Biscan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is Mane to coutinho too sideways a transfer for 1 of my 2FTS? It frees up £0.4 and is an upgrade right?

    Already own Firmino

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Doing that after ITB I think.

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I like it. Looking likely for me too soon. Would have to take out mane sooner or later anyway. ACON.

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

      Do it

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    91 pts with Grant to go! A much needed green arrow!

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

      Boom! Nice one.
      74 with Allen. 4/5 last weeks been red. Gonna poke a stranger in the eye if this ain't green.

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        You deserve green mate that's a solid score. I've been red for the past five weeks myself, probably gonna jump from 1,100,000 to 400,000 or so!

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

          Top 10k 65 points with 1.4 players to go.
          You've got a massive jump this week!

          1. ★Kuntheman★
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            I needed it for a while. Now just gotta play smart. 🙂

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

      Smashed it!

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Without Sanchez too! Over the moon. Thought he'd screw me early.

  6. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Same old Chelsea, always cheating!

    Hazard or KdB what do you think?

  7. bojack
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A lot of teams are going to have defences facing tough games next week 🙂

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

      All mine have though away fixtures. Not expecting much!

  8. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Benteke ➡ Austin? Already have Redmond

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

      Check out Benteke's stats.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Well, Ibra has good stats too.

  9. dcarlito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    How does the winning bonus pts work in a 2-0? Any chance Costa will overtake Azpi?

    1. Werkself
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      no. Haz has winning goal

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

      Dunno. Does His or Hazard goal count as winning goal?

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That's my question I suppose, don't know.

      1. dcarlito
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, that's what I thought. Was grasping at straws:)

  10. FPL_Sponge

      5. mojoindojo
        • 12 Years

    6. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      87 all out. Costa's bps to be added. Absolutely delighted with it after a tough couple of weeks.

    7. michudagawd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      96 (-4) with Pieters to play. Much needed after a string of bad weeks.

    8. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      91 with Grant to go, no Sanchez 🙂

    9. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      time for the sub 80s to go hide.

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

      94 after baps. No players left.

    11. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      84 I reckon including autosub Capoue. Shaqiri and Pieters to go

    12. Artorias
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      92. None left

    13. Golden Venture

      9 years, 5 months ago

      73 with pieters and grant

  11. ceerus
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kdb or Hazard?(own Costa and Kun)

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

    Worth doing Pickford to Heaton tonight for -4 before price rise?

    Have foster but would definitely play Heaton this GW.

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

      Why not just Foster to Heaton and play him every GW?

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

        Rather rotate

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

          Not sure it's worth getting Heaton if you're rotating - he'll get random hauls when you least expect, like away against United.

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

    Wanted to save my FT this week ready for the international break but I'm tempted by some transfers now:

    A) Foster to Heaton (FT)
    B) Bellerin to Fuchs (FT)
    C) Bellerin/Walctott to Fuchs/Coutinho (-4)
    D) Save FT

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same boat. Wanted to save but already pulled the trigger on Heaton in before the rise.

      FWIW I like C.

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

    Mane and Walcott out for Hazard + 7.5m mid ?

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

      Knee jerk? Mane will outscore Hazard over the next 4

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

    Hi guys,

    I really need some help over here:

    walker - lovren - smith

    coutinho-firmino-sanchez-mata-payet

    kaku - deeney

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

    Any advice is appreciated

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. HurriKane

      A

  18. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Foster, Pickford
    Williams, Stones, Holebas, Smith, Amat
    Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Allen, Capoue
    Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney

    Deeney, Capoue to Costa, Clayton -4

    Yay or nay?

    Can't afford Costa if he goes up, is there a better playing 4.3M Mid

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Probably nobody better at that price. Maybe coquelin

  19. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Do you think Amat will play vs Stoke?

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

      Unlikely

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Has he been dropped then?

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

          He was last week

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

      hope he gets atleast 1 point off the bench

      he's comming on for valencia

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

  21. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Already got Coutinho and Alexis

    Would you the below ?

    Firmino Theo --> Hazard Chadli for 2ft

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

      Not worth it imo

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

      nah

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

      No

    4. HurriKane

  22. Jake Donahue

    How did payet play today? Time to get rid?

  23. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with my 2FTs?

    Marshall Pickford
    Koscielny Clyne Holebas Smith Amat
    Sanchez Payet Firmino Mata Hojbjerg
    Aguero Wilson Deeney

    Nothing in the bank.

    A) Clyne->Fuchs
    B) Payet->Mahrez
    C) Clyne+Deeney->Fuchs+Austin
    D) Deeney->Austin
    E) Clyne+Payet+Deeney->Fuchs+Hazard+Austin(-4)
    F) Any other?

    Mata is not nailed on.
    Payet has a good fixture.
    Deeney vs Clyne
    Frimino vs Holebas
    Is it better to have 2FTs over the International break?

    Thanks.

    Some worries next week.

  25. Baz

    With 2.5 ITB which is best for me?

    A) Amat to Alonso
    B) Walcott to Hazard
    C) Cech & Deeney to Heaton & Costa

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

      haha... first I wanted to say A ... then C, but now I've seen B! ... very tough one, I think C.

    Hi Guys,

    Looking to get Austin in for Hull and beyond but short 0.1m Rondon -> Austin,
    Worth taking a hit to downgrade McAuley to Pieters to afford this?

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

      McAuley has good fixtures coming up like

  27. cheekumz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kosc or Vert out for Chelsea def (probably Alonso)...

    Or could do Capoue out for Redmond or Gundogan I suppose. Cap is a 5th and I can afford 1 more fall before it affects my selling price, so not that bothered.

  28. Athletic Dildao
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Rate my knee jerk out of 10:

    Haz cout firmino gundogan
    Costa lukaku aguero

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

      9. Lacks Sanchez 😉

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

    Pull the pin on Valencia before price drop. Who to though?

    Keane
    Lovren
    Fonte
    Daniels / Cook / Smith
    Brunt (already have Evans)

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

      Brunt if you didnt have Evans so I'd go with Smith

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

      Fonte/VvD

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

      I would go Fuchs based on good fixtures

  30. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Costa you mug needed a hat trick should have got it lost this week by 30 pts and i got 70
