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

      Not having any Chelsea players is really going to burn me isn't it

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

        Arsenal, Liverpool and Kun could help your burn

        Wow, no Chelsea players?

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

          I had hazard and costa but I took them out in wildcard and I don't really have any way of fitting them in now

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

      Keep telling myself to wait till Costa gets his 5th yellow before bringing him in but he just keeps scoring. Can guarantee he'd get the ban the very week I bring him in.

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

        you should bring him now then because i'm waiting

    • Qubit
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cant he hurry up and pick up another YC

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

        nope. Conte has changed Costa

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

          Not really, he's already on 4.

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

            He is, but since the formation change Costa hasn't done anything dirty like he did in the first couple games.

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

        This.

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

      Can anyone please loan me some funds on FPL i promise to pay it back.

    • BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So basically all that ground caught up by Sanchez & Aguero is now being ate up by Costa and Lukaku today.. 🙁

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

      Costa top 10k ownership is so high 🙁

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

        That's how they got there in the first place though - he's been scoring every week

    • sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Figures. Points for everyone! Why not?
      Seems whenever I have a good week, so does everyone else. When I have a bad week, noone else does.
      So hard this game..... right, rant over. Carry on.

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

        This ×100000000

    • Postman Ty
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So, do we go for Hazard or Costa?

      And do we dare wait until after Spurs/City games?

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

        Both and they will both score against Spurs and City

    • fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Missing out on tons of points because he's on 4 yellows.

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

      Costa you beaut 🙂

    • Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 11 Years

      Big hairy ballbags

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

      I really want Hazard too 🙂

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wish he'd celebrated like Bobby F

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

      That big green arrow yesterday isn't going to be so big now having only Austin in play today

    • Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero Costa Lukaku

      The front line of choice?

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

        Not if you want a good midfield

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Players like Lallana, Redmond, Allen make that easier than you might think. Possible to even get Sanchez in.

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

            I dont want any of those players

            1. Postman Ty
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              better than the cheaper striker options imo.

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

        Had it for a while now

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

          Nice

        2. sminkypinky
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          What's your midfield?

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

          Kinda easy without Sanchez ....

      3. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yep got this still dropped 50k yesterday. Should be better today mind

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If you were on it early enough - for sure.

        Too much money now unfortunately for someone like me

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

        That was me before GW6 WC.

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

        That was my original plan back in GW7...kept stupid Ibra instead.

    • Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Who to have?

      Lukaku or Costa?

    • Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      still cout over Haz? :)...

    • Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard or Costa if you had to pick one?

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

        I wish to know this too.

      2. ***00tennis***
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        HAZ-0.5m or so cheaper less YC's

    • Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      ------------------Heaton-----------------
      -----Clyne Vertonghen Pieters----
      Antonio Firmino Coutinho Snoddy
      --------Aguero Lukaku Ibra-------
      --------------------------------------------------
      Pickford Capoue Evans Amat. 1ft, 0 itb
      Should I take a hit this week and finally get rid of Ibra as well as Snoddy?
      Or just get rid of Snoddy?
      Ibra is taking up so much money and just not delivering but as soon as I get rid he will start scoring again

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

        COSTA!

        1. Scotty B
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Or Hazard!??
          Costa on 4 yellows

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

        Sounds good although I'd even consider -8 and get rid of Antonio as well as he's deadwood in that team

    • BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Think it would be foolish not to bring in Hazard now..

      1. some witty pun
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        fixtures too tough, no thanks

    • J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's been a great week of football so far!

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

      I guess having both Costa and Hazard makes up for no Aguero this week. Wish I could confidently say this everyweek but I'm terrified every time City plays.

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

      Was patient with Ibra, and patient with Haz. No prizes for guessing which one I still own and which one I ditched at a .2 loss. FFS!!

      1. some witty pun
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        cant blame you, fixtures made the choice easy to make

    • Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How do I get
      Sanchez, Walcott, Hazard, KDB, Coutinho
      Aguero, Lukaku, Costa
      as my frontline

      1. Dreaming of glory
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Don't think you can

      2. 1NVINCIBLES
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That's the dream. Realistically you can probably only have 6 out of those with minimum defense (4 x 4.5 and 3 x 4.0).

    • some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      is the 5th yellow just a myth

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

        Costa only ever gets booked when he wants to - he won't get another one now till after the cut off IMO

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

          Behave yourself

    • Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Fuchs or Alonso ?

      1. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I have both

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

        Probably Alonso

      3. Clifford☯
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Fuchs atm. Then Upgrade him to alonso from GW15

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

          This

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

        Alonso if you can afford.
