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 and Moses are like long lost brothers. Sons of Kimbo Slice

    Good finish from Charlie

    This scoreline and points getters was literally my worst case scenario.

    Gulp

    It was fun while it lasted, I was doing really well. Nvm

    My projected rank dropped over 100k places without having any players in this game 🙁
    Hopefully Allen can shoot me up again tomorrow...

    4 cleansheets on the bounce now for Chelsea. Played some tough games too.

    How's this for a whopping minus 28? (Not going to do it but liked the look of it)

    Foster Grant
    Amat Smith Mee Fuchs Walker
    Sanchez Hazard Coutinho Whelan Gundogan
    Austin Kun Lukaku

    Players out: Mane, Sterling, Capoue, Matip, Ozil, Shaqiri

    Probably won't afford it in a couple of weeks...

      Not worth a -28

      1. Oven Glover
        10 years, 8 days ago

        No, it's silly but I got to play around with it as a reply to Poveglia (the snake). He's lucky to have a WC that guy.

    Thoughts on Deeney + Payet --> Costa + Bolasie?

  9. Tomas Brolin ate all Depays

    1. Gregor

      10 years, 8 days ago

      Moses?

  10. Kaneyonero
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Alli to Redmond or Tadic worth a one week punt?

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

      Alli looked very promising vs Leicester

      I was always going to drop after yesterday's peak

  14. KJT123
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Moses now a very real FPL prospect

  15. The Mighty Hippo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Walcott + Sterling - - > Moses + KBD

    Bad idea?

    1. The Mighty Hippo

      *KDB

    2. Krul Runnings

      I quite like it.

    3. Konstaapeli
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I think this might look a bit silly in a few weeks.

  16. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Deeney to who?

    A) Wilson (SUN sto ars LIV)
    B) Austin (hul LIV EVE cry)

    Any one know if da roon is nailed?

    1. Oven Glover
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Look a couple of posts up. I have a suggestion for your WC. What do you think?

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Just seen it mate. Looks great to be fair. It's a case of haz vs firmino...really appreciate that post and the effort of your reply. Going to see if it's doable . May replace Walker with alonso

        1. Oven Glover
          10 years, 8 days ago

          No problem. A bit jealous of your WC. Good luck!

          1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
            10 years, 8 days ago

            And you too mate. To be fair I got lucky as I activated it yesterday with no chelsea in mind at all..

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

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

      Numbered. Kingsley?

  19. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 8 days ago

    I know this was always going to be a tough fixture for Austin, but, I can't say I'm in a rush to get him in for Deeney tbh.

    Might have a look at a few other options.

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

      Get Austin.

    2. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Agree. I've just bought Heaton over doing Deeney --> another striker. Deeney has better fixtures than Austin over the next 3, and no on else really appealed.

      Calum Wilson as a 1-2 week punt?

  20. Jason Bourne
    10 years, 8 days ago

    DIEGO DIEGO DIEGO

  21. Atimis
    10 years, 8 days ago

    How would you play this def next week ?

    Pick/Grant
    Walker/Holebas/McAuley/Cameron/Amat

    Cheers !!

    1. gilljohniez
      10 years, 8 days ago

      1,2,3

  22. gilljohniez
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Was wonder what everyone thinks of this. I have augero and Costa up front already. My "weak" link is defoe. If I trade him I have 10m to spend on a striker, who you think would be the best to go for and do you think it's worth taking a 4 point hit for?

    Maybe vardy because of the fixtures? Lukaku because he's on fire? Any thoughts.

    Thanks

      lukaku

      1. gilljohniez
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Do you think it's worth a 4 point hit?

  23. Pedram
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Why can't we have nice things ?

  24. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 8 days ago

    When are we expecting a price rise for :
    A)Haz
    B)Austin

  25. arndff_
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Jagielka & Deeney OUT
    Morgan & Austin IN

    But it's gon be a 4pts hit. Is it worth it???

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

    Is Chelsea defence looking fixture proof?

    1. rivercityransom
      10 years, 8 days ago

      certainly appears so, 4 cs in a row

      alonso gets in the box quite a lot, think he's the one to own

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

        Tantalisingly short of 0.2 for Williams and Valencia to fuchs and alonso.

  27. Quinninho
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Almost certainly knee jerk and probably won't work out but....

    Antonio & sterling > gudogan & hazard?

    1. Dead Cat Bounce
      10 years, 8 days ago

      If Gun does not play do you have a decent 1st bench?

      1. Quinninho
        10 years, 8 days ago

        No, that's the problem, playing 5 in midfield, so it would either be Amat or diomande

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

    Azpilicueta scooping up the bonus again.

  29. Pedram
    10 years, 8 days ago

    How much it would effect the average if Chelsea lose the cleansheet ?

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

      If it's a haz own goal.....

  30. Jay_
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Matic almost got he's 6th assist of the season
