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

    Dont sign up with Betway for their free matched bet, it's a total scam, if you win they don't let you withdraw anything at all until you have played through their wagering requirement. Not even your original deposit amount. I haven't come across this before so thought I would give you all a heads up

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

      Titanbet are similar apparently
      Ask for passports after bets to prove age before paying out etc

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That is normal policy aswell.

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

      quite common, always read t&c's

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      First time betting online? Always read the requirements first 🙄

      1. GREENDREAMS11
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Not at all, have had many free bets with loads of bookmakers but normally their wagering requirements haven't involved not allowing me to withdraw the deposited amount, Normally the play through/wagering requirements only apply to the free amount and any profit made on that. This is a first as far as I have seen/come across.

    4. Clump

      You'll never meet a skint bookmaker.

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

    68 with Siggy to go. Not great for a high scoring week. Red arrow me thinks.

    1. Dr Robotnik
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm 70 all out, so I would rather be in your shoes. Was seriously considering Siggy this week for Walcott, but decided to keep hold. He is a great pick, I have fond memories of him, but just felt it was a few weeks early.

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

      Should be ok for a small green. FPL Discovery says there's 1.4 players on avarage to go but I'm sure a lot will not get to put out XI this week with Walcott, Valencia and the like.

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

      Pretty neutral imo. Siggy goal is a sure green.

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

        Need a Siggy brace!

    4. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      71 with Allen to go - although I think Lukaku has 3 bonus points to add on yet. I am ok with that.

    5. StoneMountain
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sub 8 points for my back 4 is killing me every week.

  3. Dr Robotnik
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Do want Hazard back now. Very impressive from Chelsea and have none of their players. Essentially I have to decide on whether I want

    A) Hazard, Redmond and Diamande in a 3-5-2 or

    B) Sterling, Allen, and Austin in a 3-4-3.

    Thoughts?

    1. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard nice to have but it screws up your team. You do not want Diomande! He is impossible to get rid of if you need to....

      1. Dr Robotnik
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Well yea I know, but having a strong bench rarely means points, and I would rather my money was on the pitch. Still allows for a good defense, and a front 7 of Hazard, Firmino, Coutinho, Walcott, Redmond, Aguero, Lukaku

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

    66 with Cameron to go not that bad considering no Aguero and was the wrong side of the Liverpool roulette table. God knows how i get him in my team mmmmmmmmm

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

      Could have been worse mate. Who are your forwards?

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

        luk bent, Hazard and sanchz saved the week

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

          Would you contemplate Sanchez out to fund Kun?

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

            no. Hectic schedule for him domestically and internationally, just gpnna hope i can cover him

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

              Fair play. Hazard and Sanchez should go a long way towards that. I'm very pleased to have Haz but not got Alexis

    2. Dr Robotnik
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's good going without Aguero. I'm so glad Lukaku (C) came in for me today. Really saved me from a shocker

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

        ibra to luk was late but still been very worth it

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

    Do we need Chelsea cover ?

    1. Dr Robotnik
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I would say we need Hazard or Costa. A defender with one of those would be nice, but a luxury. Hazard until Costa is off 4 yellows

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

    Who was official MOTM?

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

      not rocket science

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

        Hazard?

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

          Neville gave it to Hazard iirc.

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

            Thanks, that's what I was hoping (Sky cpt)

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

    Who gets binned first?

    A) Capoue
    B) Antonio

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

      B due to price.

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

        Yeah can see him dropping this week any suggestions TM has to be £7.0 or under no money left over ITB either?

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

          Chadli or Redmond depending on how long you want them.

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

            Food for thought cheers TM.

    2. Dr Robotnik
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B. Maybe it's time for Tadic with Hull next? I'm going Redmond though I think, to enable Hazard

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

        I'm thinking a -4 hit on Antonio & Mane > Coutinho & Tadic next GW can't afford Haz already have Costa though

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

    Which combination out of these 4 four players:
    Sanchez
    Costa
    Hazard
    Aguero

    I'm looking at Hazard and Aguero at the moment
    Cheers

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero - Sanchez

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

      Aguero Hazard

  9. My Name Is Prince
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Jakupovic - Rashford --> Heaton - Austin for a hit -4?

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

      I am looking to do similar but Pickford to Heaton.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        My other goalie is Pickford.... Heaton will go up tonight, Austin seems goal hungry and great fixtures!

  10. Stokelona
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez and Bolasie to Hazard and a) Mahrez or b) Mane?

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

      noice

  12. ⚽️ 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. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You should have a couple of days to mull it over. Or a whole week if you bought at 5.5.

  13. rocky7st
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku or Costa? Wishing I had done things different in GW8 could have had both.

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

    Alli and Diomande to Redmond and Austin vs Hull for a hit?

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

    Foster, Pickford
    Vertonghen, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
    Sanchez, Sterling, Lallana, Snodgrass, Capoue
    Aguero, Costa, Lukaku

    2FT, 0.0 in bank

    Need to upgrade Snodgrass (and ideally Lallana), but no funds.

    Realistically may have to downgrade one of:

    A. Costa
    B. Lukaku
    C. Sanchez

    Who should it be?

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

    90 all out this week. Likely team next week is

    Heaton
    Koscielny Lovren Holebas
    Ozil Firmino Coutinho(vc)
    Walcott
    Aguero (c) Lukaku Austin

    Pickford Capoue Amat Valencia

    Should I
    A Valencia to Fuchs with 1 ft
    Also
    B Ozil to Hazard for -4
    Or
    C Just play team and have 2 ft after break

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

      Congrats 90 is a terrific score.

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

      Just Ozil to Haz.

  17. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If I want Heaton, I need to get him in tonight. Can't afford the below if he rises. Rhe below worth it?

    Jaku, Clyne, Deeney->Heaton, Fuchs, Austin

    Heaton, Pickford
    Walker, Fuchs, Holebas, Evans, Amat
    Sanciez, Walcott, Coutinho, Firmino, Allen
    Kun, Lukaku, Austin

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

    Sanchez aguero lukalu firmino coutinho hazard costa all with big returns ... Who do i captain? .... Troy deeney

    69 total may not be too good after todays scorers

  19. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Moses anyone?

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      "Plan" is to have both Allen and Moses as my 4th/5th mid allowing me to upgrade Benteke to lukaku

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

      if you want a chelsea wingback, get alonso. he gets 4 for a cs at least.

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

    Strongest option for the next 4?

    A) KdB (MID, cpl, bur, CHE)
    B) Hazard (EVE, mid, TOT, mci)

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

      Tough one. Hazard though i reckon for security of starts and on top form

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

      I would get Haz if you have Kdb. Their price should also be a factor.

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

    Anyone know if Hazard got MOTM in Sky?

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

      Yes he did.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years

        Nice!

  22. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years

    who in:

    A. Fuchs
    or
    B. M.Alonso

    ??

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

      A

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

      A

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

      B

  23. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How on earth do I fit Hazard in 😐

  24. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Jamie Redknapp on Victor Moses: "It's nice to see a young English talent getting a chance".

    Moses has 24 caps for Nigeria and is nearly

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nearly 26 years old*

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

        If I know Jamie Redknapp, he was probably talking about himself, not Moses.

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

    Either

    A) Hazard+Gundogan
    B) Walcott+Sterling

    On B at the moment, will probably stick with it. Thoughts? I'm easily persuaded. 🙂

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

      Ster went last week, Gun came in this week, and now I´m seriously thinking Wal to Haz.

  26. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Evening all!

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

    A) Deeney > Austin
    B) Robertson > Fuchs
    C) A+B (-4)

  27. Dušan Citizen

  28. hannesdela
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I need to free up 0.8M to get Hazard in for Walcott (I have 1.2 M in the bank). Where do I get the funds from?

    My team right now:

    Pickford (Jakupovic)
    Bellerin, Smith, Holebas (Evans, Amat)
    Sanchez, Coutinho, Walcott, Allen (Fletcher)
    Aguëro, Lukaku, Austin

  29. qstormheavyrain

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

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years

          Ouch. Unlucky.
