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.

    Hazard always scores at St Mary's. Nobody marking him!

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Kun > Dio
      Cap > Haz

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

        I also did but he didn't do anything but since Conte has switched to this new formation he is becoming hard to ignore

        1. Our Man Charlie
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          only thing is no Sanchez , you cant have them all 🙂

    3. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 11 Years

      Hazard, Coutinho, Firmino, Redmond, Allen

  6. Optimus.

    Ibra + Sterling to Lukaku + Hazard....

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      But Ibra has Swansea!

      1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        and yesterday he had Burnley ...... and before that he had Liverpool......

    2. Our Man Charlie
      • 15 Years

      solid moves those Andy

    3. Swan - Villa Proud

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

      You won't sell Ibra as you know he will score once you sell him

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sterling has Boro!

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

          I know and Chelsea have Everton so fixtures would say stay as is

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

      I think we all just st want you to ditch Ibra 🙂

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 10 Years

      Lol

  9. Jay_
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who's just tinkered and weighed up a hit for Haz?

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Here.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      See above 🙂

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Of course

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

      Kosc + Sterling ----> Morgan + Hazard is possible for free for me

    5. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Woud have too lose Wally in that case. Feels a bit of a knee-jerk - but heck, that's typical me 🙂

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

      yep sterling & Benteke to Haz & Austin - have to say I like it

    7. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm on a wc and I'm struggling..have to drop sanchez to make it a reality

  10. Kroosin'
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Cant have them all. 🙁

  11. Kroosin'
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Captaincy choices will be much more crucial this season.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      They are crucial every season.

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        this

      2. Kroosin'
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        But the number of potential captain choices has increased right ?

      3. Boydinho
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        that

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

    A) Antonio>Sigurdsson/Tadic/Arnautovic/Chadli
    B) Sterling>Coutinho, then A) next week for free after Antonio plays Stoke at home
    C) Both for a hit

    I really want Coutinho and want to get rid of Antonio, but I feel like it could backfire selling Sterling (MID) and Antonio (STO) for a hit.

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

    No room for Hazard yet but on the radar. Replace Firmino I think

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

      Why would you replace Firmino

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

        Coutinho suffices as Liv cover

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

          Lol that makes no sense. Firmino is scoring points. Having Coutinho or "cover" is irrelevant

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

            Fair enough.

            Hazard should outscore Firmino imo over a set of games if they're both fit

            Firmino doesn't score as many points as I'd like him to.

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

        Wouldn't want to lose any other mid ATM. As a say it can wait a few weeks

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      with pools fixtures and lack of europe....why

  14. Lxnzini
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Valencia Son Firmino --> Fuchs Shaqiri Hazard ??
    Already have Coutinho for Liverpool and would mean i have Kun Alexis Hazard Cout and Lukaku

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

    Austin should be doing better with those chances

  16. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    With Chelsea one up, not feeling to confident of returns from Austin

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

      Needs a pen I fear too.

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

    Moses could be a good shout at 5.5.

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Debating whether he'd be worth getting over Chadli atm

  18. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    hope aussie does well......knee jerked him in possibly 1 week early lol

  19. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez>Hazard frees up a massive 1.4M

    Obviously both are nice to have but you need balance if you already own Lukaku/Aguero in your side and two Liverpool midfielders.

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

    hazard or coutinho?

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

      Coutinho much better fixtures

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

      Fixtures say Couts. Form says both

    3. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard + CHE defender after they play City, fixtures look amazing. So to answer your Q, the Brazilian till GW15.

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

      Depends if you alreaady have Firmino or Mané

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

    Heaton
    Clyne Vertonghen Pieters
    Antonio Firmino Snodgrass Coutinho
    Ibrahimovic Lukaku Aguero

    Pickford Capoue Evans Amat

    What change(s) should I make?

  22. Xhaka Kahn't
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Foster
    Shakiri
    Coutinho

    To

    Pickford
    Gundogan
    Hazard

    ?

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      why swap out someone who hasnt played yet (shaq)
      why would you lose cout in his form and fixtures
      gund is a bit of an unknown
      foster out is ok

      overall....no

  23. Lallana_
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I feel as though people are ignoring KDB. He'd be a great shout for the next three weeks, then it's easy to take him out for Hazard.

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

      Agreed. Bit worried about him being rotated though if hes not 100% fit

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

      there are too many options, i want kdb, coutinho and hazard and have sanchez. can't afford them all

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

        That's why I'm waiting on Hazard. He has 3 goals in 3 games but with tough ones coming up it's too risky to tinker. Waiting until GW15 for him.

        KDB is just a luxury at this point unless you get rid of Sanchez.

      2. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sell kun and you can..

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

      Sanchez has a higher potential for goals and you cant fit both in a team

  24. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    With the big four South Americans in my squad, will be tempting to ditch one of the mids for Hazard or KDB so I am not left too thin in attack after the next int'l break.

  25. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Jeez, this FPL game can kick you in the balls sometimes.

    Captained Ibra this week, and sold Hazard two weeks ago for Ozil who had Boro at home and then Sunderland away. Hazard scored twice in that time and has 70mins left to add to it.

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

      Both were good moves tbf. No point of owning Ibra if you can't captain him at home to Burnley.

      1. Bouncebackability
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Exactly. And you can't ask much more than your captain having 12 shots at goal ha.

        Hazard lost me .2 as well ha

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

    Moses is 5.5 and has started the last four matches... Interesting.

  27. Arceus
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard Essential.

  28. Sonder
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT

    Pickford
    Walker, Lovren, Holebas
    Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Son
    Aguero, Lukaku, Deeney

    Jakupovic, Amat, Fletcher, Kelly

    1 FT, 1.1 ITB

    A. Jakupovic --> Heaton? (Great form) Foster? (Rotates much better with Pickford)
    B. Son --> Don't know? Redmond?
    C. Deeney --> Austin

    Thanks for any advice!

  29. Kun Tozser
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do:

    Sterling > Hazard

    But would leave Allen/Britton as 4th mid rotation

    Or

    3rd Siggy 4th Chadli 5th Allen

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

    Move will be made if Costa gets his YC tonight just brainstorming for now worth doing a -4 hit on one of the following options:

    A) Antonio & Costa > Hazard & Deeney

    B) Antonio & Costa > Hazard & Musa

    C) Antonio & Costa > Hazard & Callum Wilson
