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

        Antonio

        Jakupovic

        IN

    Well my defence for next week looks dire
    Kos vs Tot
    Britos & Holebas vs Liv
    Evans vs Lei
    Love not playing

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years

          Was pretty close last season. Got eliminated in gw33 if I remember right

          1. TorresMagic™

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

            Need to nearly win FPL to win it.

            1. S.Kuqi
              • 13 Years

              Are you serious? 😯

                The scores needed from GW30 are ridiculous.

    6. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      This is getting more difficult every week. Really can't afford to make any mistakes!

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

        It's pretty easy until 2017 really.

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

          I've gotten through the first 9 pretty handily but this week was a lot tighter than I expected. Chelsea almost killed me.

  6. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Guys

    Pick (Jaku)
    Vertonghen, Mustafi, Holebas, (Evans, Amat)
    Sanchez, Sterling, Firmino, Walcott, (Leko)
    Kun, Lukaku, Austin

    2FTs and 0.0 ITB

    Really keen on Jaku -> Heaton but can't find the 0.6
    Still believe in sterling so only other real option is Walcott to 7.3. Would you?
    Also would like a Chelsea defender eventually so maybe Mustafi -> Alonso

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

    71 pts and still dropped from 18k to 28k. Damn you Chelsea! I am a Chelsea fan though. Don't know what I should be feeling 🙂

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

    Diomande to Austin for a hit?

    1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Oh yes!

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

      Yep

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

      Certainly

  9. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    This is my current team. 2 FT.

    Pickford/Jaku

    Coleman/Holebas/Kos/Amat/Evans

    Sanchez/Firmino/Lallana/Son/Capoue

    Aguero/Deeney/Lukaku

    Who needs to go first? I was thinking Deeney > Austin & Son > Walcott?

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

    I transferred out Aguero and still climbed up OR to 700's from 2k.

    I did Aguero+ Lallana -> Has + Costa for a hit.

    I am scared of not having aguero though.

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

      Gotta say you got lucky. What was your reasoning? Chelsea had a tough game.

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

      Because not many must have captained him this week. Everyone is captaining him next week though against Middlesborough at home.

  11. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How long is Valencia out for?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      few weeks according to papers .

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

        Few weeks? Oh boy. I already took a hit and kept him in my team.

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

    3K yesterday to 6K today. The price for not owning Chelsea assets. Mighty Joe Allen will send me back to 5K tomorrow

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

      Quite a gap between top 3-5k and the chasing pack then. Dropped from 18k to 28k with only Lukaku and Austin today. Huge drop compared to yours. Did you have Everton defense?

  13. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Best DF at 4.8m or under? Not Holebas and Smith.

    WBA?

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

      Pieters or Evans imo

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

      Friend/ Peiters

    3. Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Evans/Pieters

    4. True Blue
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Francis

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

      Thanks. Middlesbrough fixtures will get tough soon.

      I will have to try watching Pieters.

  14. KGJ United
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hi you all
    can you help me out. My mind is pacing in loops.

    Lloris, Pickford
    Fuchs, Koscielny, Holebas, Pieters, Amat
    Coutinho, Firmino, Walcott, Son, Allen
    Kun, Costa, Diomande

    2FT, 1.9M ITB
    For now, idea is playing 352.

    I'm in need to get Hazard and as I see it, I can do it in 3 ways:
    1) Wally-Haz I can do this in one move. 0M ITD after that. Wally's gonna drop tonight, so I have to do this tonight.
    2) Son, Fuchs - Haz, Morgan
    3) Son, Costa - Haz, Lukaku

    What say you?

    Thanks

    1. True Blue

  16. fordy049
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    is Leko looking likely to get more minutes?

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

      Apparently did well when he came on, so looking likely.

  17. True Blue
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is (A) the better logical move?

    A) Antonio + Capoue + Mustafi ---> Hazard + Francis/4.5 def + Clayton/4.3m mid +0.0 ITB
    B) Antonio + Capoue + Walcott ---> Hazard + Redmond + Clayton/4.3m mid + 04m ITB

    I also have Bellerin and Austin

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Do you also have Sanchez and Austin?

      A means you can keep Walcott instead of Redmond and looks stronger.

  18. Bolivian Seaman

    Thanks to Williams and Lukaku 95pts GWR - 10k Allen off bench still to play!!

    65k ➡ 16k

    Come on Allen get me to 100pts!!

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      btw. What are you planning to do with Mustafi?

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

        Keeping

        1. S.Kuqi

            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Why wouldnt you keep? Goal threat and only two tricky fixtures before a easier run..

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

              True. Need to re think my strategy

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years

              If you call Utd tricky.

      Balances out last week a little.

  20. Sol
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    1FT

    A) Deeney > Austin for free
    B) Deeney Capoue > Austin , Fletcher before price fall and lose 0.1 (-4) and earn 1.2 to improve defence the week after

    Cheers

  21. Seany A

    How did Austin do today?

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

      Good but Southampton midfield was really poor against Chelsea.

    2. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Had a goal disallowed

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

      OK (Chelsea were inpenetrable) . Had one ruled out for being marginally off side. He's a hold/buy.

    4. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers lads

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

      Hard for him to get a look because Chelsea was that well organized/ Southampton's midfield that poor.

      Still managed to get a goal disallowed for offside.

  24. sambyy
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Third red in a row 🙁

  25. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Out of ten, what is the probability that Pieters and Allen will score 11 points or more between them?

    5. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years

      A large range of responses to say the least

  26. Turbo_Cop
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Evening all!

    Payet to Hazard for free this week?

    £1.4 ITB and would give me a midfield of Sanchez, Firm, Allen along with Hazard. De Roon currently warming the bench.

    Or wait and hold the transfer? Thoughts appreciated. £9.8 for Hazard is an absolute steal yet Payet has Stoke at home.

  27. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you rather Hazard or Costa??

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

      Costa

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I can't decide but leaning to Hazard because he can easily match Costa at lower cost.

    3. Jason Bourne
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Diego

  28. Cabellafan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Have the exact money to bring in Fuchs and Hazard for Valencia and Ozil for a hit
    Was hoping to get news on Walcott in advance, but looks like Hazards price will go up either tonight or tomorrow...

    Yay or nay?

  29. binny_jai
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Grant Bourc
    Bellerin Clyne Holebas Amat
    Walcott Shaqiri Firmino Sanchez Son
    Kun Kaku Grabban

    0.0 In bank.

    Any advice ?

  30. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Finally a bit better this week. Views on the -4 appreciated!

    Williams + Benteke -> Fuchs + Austin.

    Austin will be for the long term, decent price for a player the focal point of a decent team and Fuchs will be for the next 5ish due to irresistible Lei fixtures.
