Dugout Discussion – Watford vs West Ham

Sunday’s solitary fixture gets underway at 4pm as Watford welcome West Ham United to Vicarage Road.

The Hornets’ Richarlison is still searching for his first home goal since signing in the summer, with all four of his strikes arriving on the road.

Nonetheless, the young Brazilian – who is the most popular Fantasy Premier League asset from today’s encounter, with 18% ownership – has still supplied points against both Liverpool and Arsenal in front of his own fans.

Those holding Richarlison will be keeping a keen eye on his performance today – after next week’s trip to Newcastle has passed, Watford are braced for a run of three testing fixtures (MUN TOT bur).

West Ham roll up on the back of the worst defensive record in the opening 11 Gameweeks, having conceded 23 times.

They’ll be desperate for shoots of improvement under David Moyes, though they need to make do without injured top scorer Chicharito. The new Hammers boss hands Andy Carroll a first start since Gameweek 7 in light of his fellow forward’s absence.

It’s a sign of the visitors’ malaise that the Mexican is their only outfield player with more than 2% ownership in FPL.

And with clashes against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal just around the corner in Gameweek 17-19, that lack of interest is unlikely to change anytime soon.

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

    I can't stand unbearable smugness.

    It's a little thing called tact.

    I encourage everyone to be sensitive to those people below the gameweek average who are hurting right now.

      You seem to say this every GW. Must be on a poor run at the moment. Let the people enjoy themselves. Not like you have a good GW every week.

        I had a decent GW but I feel for people who have had a shocker. It ruins your entire weekend.

      So did Jones start this gameweek?

        Nope. I totally called it. 🙂

      Sounds like youre trying to white knight it a bit. Reckon you had a first good score in a while?

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        I've said the same thing during my red arrow gameweeks ... of which there have been many.

      Very subtle but fortunately my twaatometer went off with a reading of 97.8%.

    9. CFC96

      Its inevitable, I dont have an issue with it, just dont come on here as much or at least thats what I do, more to life than getting triggered by gameweek scores, hope this helps.

      I'm not sure what your game is, you wiped the floor with most people this GW, is that you want to hear?

    A quick question:is Niassé nailed or there are some risks that he will lose his place? And to who?

    I want to invest on a long term bargain forward...

    Thank you!

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      To RLC, Sandro and Rooney. On top of that, he could be facing 2 bans iinm.

      A lot of people are wondering, this is why im predicting a huge bandwagon next weekend should he start and score. I'm actually looking at getting him for lukaku in gw14 to go very heavy in a 5 man midfield

    3. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Currently risk of a 2 game ban for simulation. Otherwise pretty nailed for a 3rd striker.

        I can't see it, it was a dive in the same way Richarlison vs Arsenal was, but as there was contact not sure how they could punish one and not the other.

  4. diesel001

    6 years, 5 months ago

    Richarlison might lose a clean sheet point if West Ham score, but he will get winning goal BAPS which will catapult him to at least two BAPS = net win.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He won't get any winning goal BAPS, Hughes will get.

        Apologies, didn't read that completely. 🙂

      2. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He will if West Ham score

      3. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Not if West Ham score.

  7. My Name Is Pepu

    Kiko on 2 BAPS 🙂 a West Ham goal + another Richarlison goal would make it sweet as a Kiko and Richarlison owner.

  9. FPL ZB

    Richarlison dispossession, probably not gonna get BAPs unless he scores or assists now

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Cs point is fine

  10. borat
    • 8 Years

    Who is better choice Hughes or RLC as 5th mid

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Hughes would be too knee-jerk. I have RLC and have no plans on getting rid of him. I mean, the fixtures alone...

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Hughes will be the new Davies of Everton last season when he brust onto the scene

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      RLC up to w 20

    For first time this week a double defence transfer worked for me with my 2FTs

    CEdric+Oatamendi to Mee + Daniels for cool 14 pts

    The extra money helping me get Hazard this GW 🙂
    Cant wait to captain Hazard vs SWA and NEW soon!

      Players getting injured.

  19. fedolefan
    • 9 Years

    I think Moyes will match Frank De Boer. Look at West Ham's fixtures. He's getting sacked after the next 5.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      That would be glorious.

      1. fedolefan

        How can anyone fight for Moyes? He looks a broken and defeated man.

    Does Richalison need a hat trick to get baps?

      No it wont Mark is a great pro and he will make a great manager some day imo.

  22. Alex_thekid

    6 years, 5 months ago

    70 points with Shaqiri to play could have been so much better if Kane (c) fail and Niasse on the bench with 10 points and should have went Alonso instead of Azpili but it was 50/50 pretty much happy with my wildcard picks tho 352 Niasse 3rd striker

    Richarlison just 1BPS from that 1BAP...

    1. CloudSky

      He will lose a lot so quite far off.

    6 years, 5 months ago

    Have we seen enough this season to come to the conclusion that Kane is not worth the extra 2.4mil over Morata? Sure, there will be times when Kane will haul and it will hurt not owning him. But I think Morata is well capable of matching him. Nearly a third of the season gone and Morata has scored more points with less minutes, and Chelsea's fixtures look particularly tasty.

    What are other Kane owners doing?

    1. Bleach †
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping for now..

    2. mir

    3. CloudSky

      Cant lose him with those fixtures. If it fails it fails.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

    4. HD7

    Richarlison is so so unlucky, not just this game...
