The bumper extended Gameweek begins at St Maryโ€™s Stadium with Southampton seeking vital points against dethroned champions Chelsea.

In Fantasy terms, there is plenty of interest in this match.

Chelsea go into the encounter suffering form indifferent form but well backed by Double Gameweek investors with Marcos Alonso and Willian the key assets.

Alonso is part of more than 1.1 million squads though his ownership increased by a modest 7000+ this having last produced more than two points back in Gameweek 24.

Meanwhile, Willian was snapped up by 107,000+ new owners ahead of todayโ€™s deadline and is part of just over a million line-ups.

As for Southampton, their teamsheet reveals that Mark Hughes has retained the 3-4-2-1 trialed at Arsenal last weekend, as Jan Bednarek is handed his first Premier League start.

That should see Saints full-backs pushed up which is good news for investors in Cedric Soares, but not so good news for Charlie Austinโ€™s owners.

Returning from injury to score having been introduced from the bench at the Emirates Stadium, Austinโ€™s match fitness may just remain a concern and so he will be charged with making another impact via a cameo role today.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Gudmundson starts! Wasn't expecting that but will take it!

    1. Clump
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just lovely ๐Ÿ˜‰

    The Kane references are getting stale...

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Just wait until spurs game starts

      1. Duke Silver โ˜‘

        ๐Ÿ˜†

    2. Clump
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He'd appeal against this opinion.

    3. Woy of the Wovers

      New jokes needed. Better ones too.

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Actual jokes needed

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kane made a joke out of himself.. so can't help. Guess this will keep coming on here now.

  3. tm245

    Well, that's my 8 point hit covered. Roll on GW34.

    Will be interesting to see if Conte starts Ground next game, although not a surprise if he doesn't.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      At Burnley, surely. Morata would be even more useless!

    2. mad_beer โœ…
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ground is a better option than Alonso

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Haha

    3. *sigh*
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Think it’s almost guaranteed after that Morata display

    4. Goalosaurus
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Double burnley def so maybe better if Morata does start afterall!

    Hey, has anyone made a joke about Kane being awarded a goal in the Chelsea/Southampton game yet? Because if they did then it would be really, really funny.

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Boring isn't it

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Why would that be funny
      What happened to Kane?

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure the Earth is flat

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I'm sure Kane will claim it's round BECAUSE KANE CLAIMS EVERYTHING LOLZY.

    4. Je suis le chat

      No actually, Harry has been busy all day bombing Syria.

      1. Les Bleus

        Wtf

    5. Rik Waller

      Guilty

    6. Brosstan

      Even the ironic meta jokes like yours are getting stale. Dead horse etc

      1. sully29

        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Lol @ meta humour.

    Courtois save one on one

  7. makaveli123
    • 9 Years

    What a super sub Giroud is. Has to be close to some record

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Olivier Giroud's five goals as a substitute is more than than any other player in the #PL this season. He now has 18 in his career, second only to Jermain Defoe's 24

      1. makaveli123
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Perfect. Cheers

      2. tm245
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Interesting. Never would have thought of Defoe as a supersub.

    Gabbi on

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Saints loss confirmed then

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I got an instant cold sweat at the mention of Gabbi (cardiac arrest if anyone mentions Negredo!).

  9. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years

    can sense a Giroud hat trick here

  10. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Southampton down to 10

    Gabbi on

  11. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years

    Gabbiadini on.

    Chelsea in trouble

  13. _figu

    Sanchez (c) massive differential *fingers crossed* 30/39 pts behind ml rivals who captained Kaku (dont own) and Kane (own)

    1. beefo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Good luck! I captained Mahrez to try and make up ground in my ML.

    1. badgerboy

      Memories is a polite way of putting it ๐Ÿ˜€

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Defo

  15. El-Kloppico

    Courtois has finally made some nice saves today.

    1. diesel001

      Need to aim between his legs

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

        Pervert.

  16. CloudSky

    Ugly scenes at St Marry's as Gabbiadini enters the fray.

    1. Business Cat

      Nice ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  17. Hybrid.power

    Cahill booked

  18. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What player has been relegated from the Prem most times?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Harry Kane?

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Rodwell?

    3. tambourineman
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hermann Hreiðarsson and Nathan Blake

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Correct

      2. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Cheater

    4. That Was Easy!
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Robert Green?

    5. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Rudy Gestede got relegated three times in a row and somehow kept getting signed by relegation teams for his "experience". Dont know if he has the most though, probably not.

    6. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Neil Redfern?

  19. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Think Mark was wrong in thinking Hazard would be rested against Burnley. He will play 60-65 míns in that game.

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He only said that to put folk off owning him no?

      Using his influence as an advantage. I would

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I doubt it. I'm thinking he will play 65-70 mins in that game.

  20. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Full time

    Alonso ban incoming....

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      What did he do? Didn't see the game

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Tried to murder Long

    2. barracuda
      • 9 Years

      Hopefully

  22. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Will take that ๐Ÿ™‚

    Full time 2-3

    Southampton are surely down

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Paying for sacking Puel and getting Pellegrino

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Worthless team. Hope the bottom 3 stays as it is

    3. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Surely. Lol

  23. Pompel
    • 12 Years

    Regretting not taking a hit for Christensen to Smalling.

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Che were always going to concede in this game.
      More hopeful of a CS next game but only slightly.
      If Christensen plays!
      Which I doubt.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Dont think he starts next match, no

  24. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Southampton - Man City in GW38 could be fun

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Kun might have a belated say in the golden boot.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He will only need 10 or so

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Very doable, good chance I'll triple captain him gw 37.

  25. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Alonso won't be banned. Stop spreading FUD.

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You don't know that

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He's ITK.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He will if the referee says he didn't see the incident.

    10k avg: 4.4
    Overall: 3.5

    3 - Giroud (52)
    2 - Tadic (36)
    1 - Hazard (35)

    Alonso owners are not allowed to moan

  28. dark91
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Chances of Hazard sneaking the 2 bp?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      slim unfortunately

      1. dark91
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I'm praying. It is only 1 point between him and Tadic but not sure about the deductions to come

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      ...bad when bloody Tadic is beating him ๐Ÿ™

  29. beefo

    If I’m planning to use my BB next week, is there any benefit to waiting to activate it until later this week, or should I go ahead and do it now? Thanks!

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      BB?

    2. barracuda
      • 9 Years

      Lol, apparently I’m just tired. Pacific time zone. I meant FH chip.

  30. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    11 points from CHE to start the ball rolling, I'll take that!

    1. Ha.

      You'll get what you're given

    2. the snazzy viking

      Hazard + Alonso owner too?

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yup, not too bad in the end, looked rough for a while there!

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      You don't have a choice.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I'll take that comment on the chin also as I don't have a choice ๐Ÿ˜‰
