Saturday’s events end at Goodison Park as Southampton are the latest side to attempt to ease relegation concerns in an encounter with Everton on Merseyside.

For the majority of Fantasy managers, the day ends as it began, with modest interest in the match taking place.

There will be some focus on the visitors, however, with over 107,000+ managers investing in playmaker Dusan Tadic ahead of this clash following his brace of goals and 15 points against Bournemouth last time out.

Elsewhere, Charlie Austin starts and leads the Saints attack once again, backed by 19,000 new owners and represented in 86,000+ squads overall.

Meanwhile, over 88,000+ managers have invested in a member of the Southampton back five ahead of this match and their visit to Swansea City in midweek.

Home side Everton have largely become a spent force in Fantasy terms, with Leighton Baines their most signed asset ahead of today’s game after 12,000 acquired his services.

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

    That Southampton clean sheet is the most painful one I've lost this season. Stupid yoshida getting red carded *sigh* I need to blow off steam somewher

      Moss is a disgrace for letting that free kick that led to goal being taken from the obvious wrong position.

      1. DJ1000
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Moss is a complete wally. But not as bad as that weirdo Kevin Friend at Bournemouth today.

          Two of the worst refs you can wish to (not) meet.

    Darren Ferguson, son of Sir Alex Ferguson , missed his team's match this afternoon due to a "severe family issue". Rumours Ferguson has been rushed to hospital.

    WTF noooo

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Probably had Triple Southampton defence

        Apologies for the dark humour, I couldn't resist.

        1. Ron_Swanson

        luckily i planned to double up on berts and cedric this gw .Though cresswell and cedric got the same points,i would have lost it tbh if i had got cedric

      Hope he's okay. Was a nice touch how he honoured Wenger. We can all learn a little grace as we get older.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah. Reminded me of Steve Jobs/Bill Gates somehow.

    5. Yozzer

      Never liked the guy but really hope he pulls through. Wish him well

      1. BRFC1883
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        You met him?

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          You know very well we form opinions on what we see and how people act . I'm not going to give reasons why i didn't on this thread as it's disrespectful and it's irrelevant when somthing like this happens.

      2. Euro Raiders
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That's sad. He is one of the nicest people you could meet. We all have to be strong in our jobs, some jobs have tremendous demands to be ruthless. Such is the life of football managers.

  4. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    if southampton beat swansea they are safe

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      😯

      Could still get relegated on the last day.

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Nah unless they lose 5-0 to city

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Logically safe i reckon

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Swansea could score a few also.

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah took it as a swans 2-0 win and southamp 5-0 loss

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      but if they lose they go down 🙂

    3. Midlands Saint73
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Surely you mean "when" - let's hope so anyway.

    4. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      fingers crossed summers go down

      1. Midlands Saint73

        F@*k off skate!

  5. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    worried Sterling(c) is benched tomorrow.

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      that I don't want this to be a reality is a bald faced lie

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      As a Kane captainer I really hope so.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Is that likely? 🙁

      1. Digital-Real
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        you can never be sure, Bsilva, Dsilva were all rested last week. Rotation likely with Sterling who's played a lot of minutes.

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Surely not...getting the trophy tomorrow...will be a full strength squad

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This

    5. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I have him but so do all my challengers in ML and one has daringly TC’d so part of me hopes he is benched.

    6. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Not tomorrow but probably vs Brighton.

  6. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    the most painful cleanie that you lost this season???

    Has to be Elliot against Bournemouth for me.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Probably Chelsea.

      1. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Depoitre???

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      this match and christensen's antics

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan

    3. JurgenRodgers

      Mine too

    4. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Double chelsea. Twice

    5. KDF
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I had double Bournemouth defence vs Leicester, 1-1 mahrez scored in 97th minute of 5 added on

    6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Double BUR from the late Sanchez penalty. They lost another late one when I had double defence, sad.

    7. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Christensen. Get Zouma back. Christensen proven not to be physically suited to the PL

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I agree with getting Zouma back but Christensen has been good this season

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

      Where do I start. I can't even remember my last cleanie

  7. Fred54

    What a shot by Mark Williams...the trick shot.

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      He's a Welsh potting machine

    The team who should be most grateful for the late Everton goal is Huddersfield. They have mci, che, ARS to play and have would have been forth from bottom, just two points ahead of Swansea who have two very winnable home games to play against Southampton and Stoke.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      1 vs 3 of them, no brainer.

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      As a Jesus(tc), Sterling AND Sane owner, I would like City to beast Huddersfield.

      Also a Kane owner, non-capper

    4. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Well, Sterling more since a challenger to me has TC’d but me and all my challengers have Sterling and Jesus

    5. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Blanks for everyone.

    6. Root
      • 14 Years

      Sterling can do something.

    Pathetic gameweek

    The saving grace being Jesus Capt has not yet played

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Oh The secret weapon Eden Hazard can be deployed too

  16. Latchmere Wave Machine
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Who would you TC for the finally game week?
    Chasing, ££ not an issue.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Salah

      1. Leaf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe no if chasing

        1. CostaCoffee
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          But he will score the most

          1. Leaf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Probably but if chasing he might not be the right pick as the leader will surely capt

            Agree though Salah is best pick overall but maybe not in this situation

        2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Put it on a damn keeper then! Salah is the best option, it's a complete no brainer.

    2. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      If Chelsea win tomorrow, I’d go Salah as it’s a must win vs Brighton

    3. Root
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Milivojevic. He's a penalty taker.

    4. el polako
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Harry Kane, he is due...

    5. Latchmere Wave Machine
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks all. Salah obvious choice but might not be right for me, I’m up for whatever.

  17. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    I remember last season getting about 170pts in a dgw.
    Good old times

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Will never forget that DGW, over 200 points

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      37 was incredible. I got 173, came on FFS and people were hitting 200... This is simply dire.

    3. Feloh
      • 9 Years

      Let me guess, you benched dunk??

      1. Duffy Dunk

        8 years, 2 months ago

        Just Ryan, but I wouldn't have played him anyway.

    4. Hazz

      Failed to shake off a knock. Valid flag. Don't know how bad it is yet. Moyes will want him back for United, so I hope he recovers in time.
