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

      10 years, 8 days ago

      Lukaku is an actual striker Zlatan and Diomande aren't. Vardy had an off day. Lukaku actually is a killer. the previous are puppy dogs.

  4. Total Foot 5

    how is Austin playing, enough to drop deeney for him ? ft

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      10 years, 8 days ago

      hardly touched it but chelsea defence is solid

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I'd go for Wilson instead

      1. Numb
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Lol, he was hauled off before the hour mark yesterday, he was that bad

      2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Wilsons managed minutes are a worry

    3. Numb
      10 years, 8 days ago

      This was always going to be Austin's toughest fixture. Deeney has just blanked against Hull!

      1. Pompel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 8 days ago

        This^
        No reason to sell

    Is it the time to buy Hazard ? he seems to have regained his early season form.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      No

  6. Chucky

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Wait and do for free after internationals. He might not start the first game back apparently

    2. Jason Bourne
      10 years, 8 days ago

      No

    3. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      10 years, 8 days ago

      A) Holebas (liv)

  9. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 8 days ago

    When I eatch Chelsea I spend the whole time hoping Costa doesn't score.

    Been quite painful with the form he's in tbh!

    1. Krul Runnings
      10 years, 8 days ago

      *watch

    2. Pierce34
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Why haven't you bought him? He's been the most consistent forward of all so far.

      1. liiusions
        10 years, 8 days ago

        It was a choice of Costa or Lukaku in GW4 for most. Everyone had Hazard then as well

        1. Pierce34
          10 years, 8 days ago

          True, I went Costa that GW even though I had Hazard - but that was when I sold Hazard for Alexis.

    3. Gregor

      10 years, 8 days ago

      He'll keep scoring until you get him and then he'll get booked.

  10. Bubz
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Rank taking a battering from this game

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

    Desperate to get rid of Tadic. Hull next though.

  12. Budweiser
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Good to see Austin get 90 mins as a new owner 🙂

    1. Numb
      10 years, 8 days ago

      He's been building his minutes up for a few weeks. Been doing extra fitness work apparently.

  13. Pompel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Walcott + Kosc -> Hazard + Fuchs

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Lol, no.

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I like Walcott --> Hazard but don't like Fuchs. Maybe Lovren/VvD?

      1. Bubz
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Whats not to like about Fuchs?

        1. StalkingDwarf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 8 days ago

          Personally I still don't trust Leicester defence. They seem to be focusing much more on the CL and leak too many goals for a 5.5 imo.

    3. liiusions
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Sounds good if you have Sanchez

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 days ago

      No

  14. BLANKET DEFENCE
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Everyone got captain points except deeney captainers like me 🙁

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Herrera captainers got less

    2. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Ibrah captain here...

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I'm in the same boat. I'm also suffering from a lack of Lukaku and Costa.

      Still managing to scrape 60 points this week, which isn't too bad, but not nearly as good as many on here.

  15. how now brown cow
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Hazard did literally nothing when I owned him. Is it worth me getting him just to jinx him again?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Yes please

  16. Lecky Legs FC
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Can't afford Haz already own Costa get Pedro for next GW?

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Na, might lose his place to Will.i.an

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Nah usually subbed off early, and competing with Willian

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah his gametime does worry me I'll go back to the drawing board cheers Spec.

  17. fedolefan
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Think I'm going to end the misery for everyone and take one for the team.

    I'm bringing Costa in. You can thank me for his YC.

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Good man.

    2. Athletic Dildao
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Was just playing around with my team to do this. I can do it with just the one hit after his ban now. Cheers!

  18. GE
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Would appreciate some help on my defence:

    Current def (0.2 itb, 1FT):
    Valencia/Williams/Holebas

    1) Valencia -> Fuchs
    2) Williams -> 5.3 or less
    Valencia -> Fuchs (-4 hit)
    3) Williams -> 4.8 or less
    Valencia -> Alonso (-4 hit)

  19. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 days ago

    1.) Who is more important: Hazard or Costa?
    2.) Are either worth replacing Payet for?
    3.) Does your answer change knowing I currently have both Austin and Deeney up front and would like a better striker?

  20. Chucky
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Can someone tell me how many baps costa is on atm? I am not at home.

    moses is turning it on

  22. Js31
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Is Zouma likely to get back into the Chelsea side as he's nearly fit? Cheap route to those clean sheets...

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    10 years, 8 days ago

    austin goal disallowed

    1. fedolefan
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Damn damn.

  24. Numb

    AUSTIN

    1. Numb
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Ruled out for offside

  25. Jay_
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Austin G
    Disallowed, offside

  26. Jonty Rhodes
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Is ahmed musa nailed on? Leicester has some lovely fixtures. I wanna do FT for him for Deeney. Other option is Sam Vokes.

    Already have Aguero and Lukaku. Not interested in Austin.

    1. Lecky Legs FC
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I'm tempted to get him in to his game time worries me though and with the CL he could be rotated with Okazaki.

      1. Jonty Rhodes
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Whas your verdict then?

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          10 years, 8 days ago

          Risky move but nice differential could pay off Callum Wilson might be a good choice too.

  27. Total Foot 5
    10 years, 8 days ago

    charles goal. but offside.

    1. Numb
      10 years, 8 days ago

      That must have been close

      1. Ravager
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Quite

  28. makaveli123
    10 years, 8 days ago

    3-4-3 is a fascinating formation. Benitez used it in some games during his spell in Liverpool (Rodgers too, if I am not mistaken). This is the first time I have seen it work properly though. With the right players, it is really hard to play against.

  29. Wolverine

    Son to coutinho or hazard?!

    Have firmino

  30. WE ARE RANGERS
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Is Martina an option for a few weeks or are his days numbered??
    Any other 4.3 options?
