Of course Le Fondre starts the week I finally get rid of him. Cue a double or more now.

Jax Teller

Adkins mustn't rate Harte at all . Brought Kelly over from Rb to Lb and playing Gunter at Rb .

I completely forgot that Federici was back. He might have been a better shout than De Gea for this week.

Le fondre missed a sitter .....Mariappa almost scored great save Boruc......my captain Lambert not in it

I doubt it. I'm hoping for big returns from Lambert in this one.

Lambert assist
Rodriquez goal

roryc

1-0 Rodriguez. Lambert assist I think!

keane2097

Rodriguez goal, looked like a Lambert assist?

Jax Teller

Lambert played the ball over the top to Rodriquez yes .

km79

Rodriguez hit bar ......I like the way this is going

roryc

When will I ever have the balls to captain Benteke or Lambert...

I captained Lambert once before . 2 points . Swore I would not do it again but it's just the way it fell this week. It was going to be Bale.....then RVP but did not want to be sweating in him starting all weekend so switched to Lambert this morning. An assist is ok . But I'd love a goal and bonus points to top it off and ease my Suarez worries !

Llalana goal
Rodriquez assist. He has been superb.
Need Lambert to do something else to ensure BP

roryc

Nice gamble, looks like it will pay off. I'm watching the game here and he's running the show. That 2nd goal will make it tougher for him to get BP's now though.

I was thinking of getting rid of him for Berbs, but it will be at a 4 point hit and Southampton are at home to West Ham next week. Fulham play Villa (away) who are fighting for their lives, and Chelsea who will be eager to tie up a CL spot. Hopefully Berbs has a quiet GW33 if I don't bring him in.

Nothing surprising there.

unkymo

No Pogrebnyak playing means my first sub is Clyne...hold on Southampton!

Lukaku not starting is a bit of a surprise .

Fowler87

Lallana with assist for Rodriguez. Big points for anyone who has him

Alfred Borden

11 points for Boruc and Lambert! Nice start to the week! Anyone think either of them could get a bonus?

SlickRic

I needed that start.

Clyne CS.

roryc

Lambert should get at least 1, realistically should get 2. I haven't seen the PPI stats but he got an assist and completed a lot of passes. Not sure about shots on/off target.

Southampton are 11th! They won't stay there after the weekend but that should be their relegation worries eased a bit.

Pretty sure he didn't have any efforts on goal . Was playing quite deep .

Same here. Keepers don't get bonuses, but i guess Rodriguez 3, and Lambert 1 or 2. Reading players won't get any.

Lemlin

Michu starting in midfield today. A Norwich clean sheet and Turner goal would suit me.

I don't ask for much!

roryc

Looking at previous BP's, Lambert generally gets some when Southampton win. He has 27 this year compared to Lallana (5), Rodriguez (4) and next highest Schneiderlin (11).

Like I said, haven't seen the PPI stats yet but going by previous games, when they win he generally gets BP's.

Devia

J Rod doing the business lately. only scored less than 4 points in 2 of his last 9 games. Anyone got him?

roryc

Moore just had a decent chance, would have been Michu assist too.
