The Dugout Discussion – West Ham United vs Arsenal

A dramatic Saturday comes to its conclusion as West Ham United take on Arsenal at the London Stadium.

All eyes are on the Gunners’ Alexis Sanchez as he looks for a fourth double-figure haul on the road.

Having scored twice against Bournemouth last week, the Chilean headed into Gameweek 14 just one point off the top of the Fantasy Premier League standings.

An injury to Philippe Coutinho has prompted new interest in Theo Walcott – the wide man earned more transfers in than any player last week after notching his sixth of the season against Eddie Howe’s side.

The search for a new midfielder means we’ll also be monitoring the display of Dimitri Payet, with the Hammers’ schedule taking a turn for the better from Gameweek 16 onwards.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

  4. Coaly

    Sanchez to Hazard was a horrible fail

    1. Js31
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking of changing back!

  5. GreenArrows

    San(c)hez and saved me, was 18 after 8, now 40 after 9, with bonus points from Alonso, Hazard and Sanchez to come! Still far from great but should help to keep my 312K OR

    Sanchez turned out to be a better captain choice than Kane.

    Should have listened to this site.

  7. Ravager

    Mustafi with a clean sheet and assist is hurtful. Had him for 6 weeks with one CS smh

  8. Jimmers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Patience with Mustafi finally pays off. Keep that CS now!!

  9. youzef
    • 9 Years

    Never thought i would say this but Payet is playing so bad he should be dropped and Bilic will be fired by Christmass

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years

      New stadium. Its like the advantage of home games has gone. Could be their downfall

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Payet wants out

  11. Kevtheotter
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero and Pedro ---> Costa and Hazard -4 seem the way to go?

    Cheers

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 9 Years

      Plausible

  12. BobB

    4 matches seems harsh for June but we'll see

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      July?

    2. Tansey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It's not like they just decided they'd give a 4 game ban, that's what he gets automatically for getting a 2nd straight red of the season, as per the rules

  13. tm245
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Can't recall a season when so many of the premiums were firing at the same time. It is great that we can't have them all.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed.

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

    3. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You can now

    4. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You can.

    5. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It's amazing, especially for FFSers after a tough start

    6. Tansey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Combine people being used to budget players from last season with the big hitters firing this season, and everyone is going crazy over money

  14. fijuhmon
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Costa yellow? Can I do Kun -> Costa?

  15. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Walcott to Sanchez for free. Easy decision 😀

  16. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Would you do Allen + Austin --> Sanchez + Anichebe for a -4?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

    Who's more essential for me to get in next week?

    A Arny > Sanchez taking a hit leaving me with 9.7 for a striker replacement for Aguero
    B Aguero > Costa for free leaving me with no Arsenal cover

  20. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Damn.. There's no way I can have both Costa and Alexis in. Theo better step it up.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago
