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

    love to know how many people post their score every week, good or bad.

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think you can work that one out.

      1. Rhinos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio this week Stoke at Home.

    1.Keep

    1. Mateja
      • 10 Years

      sell

  3. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So, how to fit in Hazard now? 😐

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sell Sanchez?

      1. Zombie
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I am thinking something like this:

        Valencia+Snoddy+Tekkers+Arna -> Morgan+Allen+Austin+Hazard

        over next two GWs

      2. Rolls-Royce
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Contemplating. Already have Wally tho. Only if Wally can keep it up.

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Foster
      Pieters Stones Walker
      Mane Hazard Sanchez Redmond
      Lukaku Costa Wilson

    Should be a nice jump in LMS safety score.

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What was the safety score last night?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        35

        1. Syd.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Thought it would be higher

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Plenty stalked up today with a captain.

  5. neilddd
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 1 month ago

    okay it's decision time

    I currently have Walcott, Sanchez and Firmino.

    I'm thinking of Walcott -> Coutinho but would have to do it tonight the way the prices are going. I hate to kneejerk but I'm thinking with Sanchez I've still got Arsenal coverage, and it's better to double up on Liverpool now with their fixtures compared to Arsenal.

    What do we reckon?

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep good idea much better fixtures and no rivals for positions

  6. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Evening all!

    Cech Pickford
    Lovren Holebas Pieters Amat Robertson
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Shaqiri Carrick
    Kun Lukaku Deeney

    A) Deeney > Austin
    B) Robertson > Fuchs
    C) A+B (-4)

    ?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C, but I don't mind point hits as others. Feel LEI can get a CS and Austin should do well against Hull

  7. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    37 points from my 3 players today has softened the blow of benching Heaton

  8. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    SO if I want Heaton (which I do), I need to get him in tonight. Can't afford the below if he rises. Worth it?

    Jaku, Clyne, Deeney->Heaton, Fuchs, Austin (-8)

    Team would then be
    Heaton, Pickford
    Walker, Fuchs, Holebas, Evans, Amat
    Sanciez, Walcott, Coutinho, Firmino, Allen
    Kun, Lukaku, Austin

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Long term it will.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Keep me safe in LMS next week? 🙂

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Good luck in FFS Cup qualifying.

          1. Swan - Villa Proud
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Eh, cup is whatever. It's always been ML and OR for me, but love LMS as well.

            May just do Deeney->Austin and wait a week.

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Just do Heaton and Austin, Clyne could easily get CS against Watford.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I can't, short 0.1 🙁

    ------------------Heaton-----------------
    -----Clyne Vertonghen Pieters----
    Antonio Firmino Coutinho Snoddy
    --------Aguero Lukaku Ibra-------
    --------------------------------------------------
    Pickford Capoue Evans Amat. 1ft, 0 itb

    Which option is better?

    A Snoddy > Gundogan for free
    B Snoddy + Ibra > Hazard + Austin for a -4 point hit?
    C Snoddy > Moses for free

    1. Rex Lapis
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  10. Rex Lapis
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Baines to?
    A. Stones
    B. Morgan
    C. other def under 5.2m?

  11. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Interested to see how Jonty did with his -12 hit.

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      86

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

      Good work - sometimes they really work!

  12. Zombie
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Having no Chelsea coverage destroyed my very good GW to just above average :\

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You'll survive LMS 😛

      1. Zombie
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Already knocked out last GW I think - had just 28 points 🙁

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I know, very surprised.

          1. Zombie
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Well, all of them decided to do badly at once. 3.6 million out of 4 million - in bottom 10%. Literally my worst GW in my 5 years of FPL!

            This GW should help - 85 points with Arna+Amat still to go

  13. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    55 points. Valencia and walcott didn't do me much good, and ozil captaincy wasn't the best decision. Could have been worse I guess. :/

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      ozil could have been genius, thems the breaks. Kudos for posting

  14. Win'dian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Lagging 11 points in H2H with Kingsley and Allen remaining.. Any chance? 🙁

  15. ceerus
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kdb or Hazard? (own Costa and Kun)

  16. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pull the pin on Valencia, Who to though??

    Keane
    Lovren
    Fonte
    Daniels / Cook / Smith
    Brunt (already have Evans)

  17. Mateja
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    van dijk or fuchs instead of coleman?

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fuchs

  18. FootballDog
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    ok now,

    sell Son and McAuley > Harzard and Pieters ??

    i got sanchez, coutinho, allen , capoue

    1. Norregard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      McAuley has 3 good fixtures after next gw (BURNLEY, hull, WATFORD), I'd hold on.

  19. Chinu
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Better move here?

    A) Son --> Chadli/ Redmond/? (up to 7.1m)
    B) Benteke + Son --> Austin + Coutinho (-4)

  20. Jake Donahue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Vertongen & Payet to Fuchs & Hazard?

    1. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

  21. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Worth doing a -4 hit on Mane & Antonio > Hazard & Redmond

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Any other Liverpool cover if so, yes

  22. villian-ty
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Walcott to Coutinho?

    Yes
    No

    1. Chinu
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

  23. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Ye reckon bringing in Austin and Redmond for a hit is too punty?

    1. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Which one would you captain against Hull...? That's the only reason you would do it

      1. Kaneyonero
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Austin
        Will ship Alli and Diomande and bench Allen

  24. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Desperately need to upgrade my mids.

    Realistically may have to downgrade one of:

    A. Costa
    B. Lukaku
    C. Sanchez

    Who should it be?

    1. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How bad are your mids?? Of those downgrade Sanchez to get biggest release of cash

  25. battystutor
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Valencia to Cahill/Alonso? That 3 at the back working brilliant for Conte.

  26. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Don't ask me why but need to get Terry out, who for? I have Valencia, Smith, Stones, Amat. 5.5m to spend. Thanks

  27. hannesdela
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    2 FTs and desperate to bring Hazard in.

    Would you consider Walcott to Hazard and Austin to Keane as a good plan?

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone here selling Sanchez for Hazard?

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No way fella

    3. Pasqualinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not yet. EVE/mid/TOT/mcy/lei not easy - after that, maybe.

      1. Pasqualinho
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hang on - not lei - WBA instead. Maybe then

    4. Dead Cat Bounce
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Madness

  29. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Choose one:

    A - Austin
    or
    B - Redmond +4?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B because you get +4 points

  30. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Now would you rather get double liverpool (Mane Firmino) or Firmino Hazard
