Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Bournemouth

The London Stadium hosts the final match of Gameweek 2 as West Ham attempt to settle in their plush new home.

Slaven Bilic’s side host a Bournemouth outfit who claimed a 4-3 victory in the same fixture just over a year ago, via a Callum Wilson hat-trick.

Looking at the West Ham teamsheet, Eddie Howe’s men will fancy their chances again.

The Hammers head into this encounter without both Andy Carroll and Dimitri Payet – the latter “felt something” after his appearance at Chelsea on Monday night, whilst Carroll has sustained a knee injury which will keep him out for a number of weeks according to Slaven Bilic.

As for the Cherries, they appear to have changed shape and seem to be going on the attack: Howe has introduced Ryan Fraser on the flank, with Lewis Cook dropping out.

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

        To get rid of payet and Carroll I'll need at least 8pt hit but more likely 12. Do you think that's better than using WC?

      I'd take the hit if I were you. Carroll set to drop in price which would then rule out the 6.5 strikers for you. Think I'll be going to Rondon personally

      For me the best option is Shane Long though i have a feeling that next week charlie Austin will start and middlesbrough is a tougher fixture for west brom than sunderland for saints.
