The curtains are drawn on Saturday’s Premier League action as West Ham United and Manchester City clash at the Boleyn Ground. The Hammers’ eight-match unbeaten streak was arrested at the hands of Newcastle United last Gameweek, while the Sky Blues have won three and drawn two of their previous five match-ups.

With eight goals and the third-most shots on target (22) over the last four Gameweeks, the Hammers boast one of the league’s form attacks. Additionally, Slaven Bilic’s recruits limited their opposition to four goals, illustrating the balance in their play. In terms of West Ham’s home form, they haven’t lost on their own turf since Gameweek 3, which suggests that the visitors are in for a challenging afternoon.

Man City chalked up more shots inside the box (46) than any side over the last four Gameweeks but ranked in the bottom six for shot-conversion rate (7.9%). On the defensive end, the Sky Blues conceded the joint-fewest goals (one) and the fifth-fewest shots inside the box (23), underlining their improvement at the back. Investors in their offense might be concerned that they rank in the bottom five for goals in away matches (10).

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Steer clear unless LVG gets booted. And I'm a Utd fan.

      1. Takedog1
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        i know what ur saying. but I'm looking for a defender 5 mill or under and man u are as boring as they are can be pretty solid at back sometimes.

        u think he will get boot?

    2. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Borthwick Jackson maybe? I'd either go Smalling or noone at all

  5. applebonkers

    some monster scores here. aguero, alli, ighalo, sure. who am i missing?

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Firmino

    2. AK ⭐

      Firmino of course.

    3. Red Star Toro

        outrageous flair. that roberto carlos suit he ordered for christmas has done well

    4. AK ⭐
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And the veterans have Dawson who is on 9 points as it stands.

      1. applebonkers
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ah dawson would make sense. firmino was only 4% ownership so didnt expect too many to have him

    5. Slam
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A few have Dawson/Fuchs/Mahrez as well.

    6. Zombie
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero, Igloo and Dawson

      Benched alli 🙁

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        ouch. bit unlucky with that assist, was pne of those where it's all about the scorer and it got him at least 4 extra points

        1. Zombie
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          That assist costing me 7 points as I played mahrez instead

    7. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      yep and 2 CSs

  6. Uppercut Panda - A legend i…
    • 11 Years

    should have captained aguero.. but at least i have him, unlike mark

  7. KOLASINA(C)

    Best under 9.5 mid to get besides Payet, Mahrez and Ozil?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino

    2. sambyy

      10 years, 1 month ago

      Alli, Firmino

  8. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    And the mid-week games should we know anything about upcoming DGWs?

  9. Slam
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Have up to 9.7 to spend on a Yaya replacement.
    Thinking Silva/Firmino/Alli. Thoughts?

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Silva is 9.9m. Firmino.

    REPOST

    0.9 ITB, where should I improve my defence?

    Current defence:

    Bellerin, Jagielka, evans, walker, smith

    Thinking about walker -> max 6.0 def

    Who has great fixtures, form?

  11. Fernando Torres 9

    Who is getting 3 bp?

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Doosra do you think WBA defence is worth consideration now? Look at your defensive digression table.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        No. 🙂

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          🙂 Best defender under £5mill in your opinion?

    3. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Still think your moves will end up paying off. Short term hit for a long term gain.

  12. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I always bought Alli as my cheap 5th... but getting hard to ignore now

      2. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on Aguero's BPs 😕

        About 6/7 points but I have Lukaku (C) whereas he has Ivanovic to also play...

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years

  16. Lallana_

    Really need Everton to come big tomorrow as a Barkley owner and Lukaku captainer

      And if they fail big leaps for a lot of us.

    FFFix users, why does FFFix ask for your login details to upload squad?

    Bit dodgey?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So it can give you your GW score with Baps and overall rank. Not dodgy at all

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry but that bit is dodgy.

        1. Jimmers
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Used it for 18 months now and no issues

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years

      You can use just your FPL id too.

    3. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You don't have to, there should be a 'only upload by FPL ID' option right under it.

    4. The Wise Owl

      You can create an account but just upload your ID, no need for revealing your username and password.

    Bit late to get rid of these but is it worth going KDB/Ozil/Vardy to Firmino/Alli/Aguero?

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You never get last weeks pts.

  19. Hargo
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Silva/Kane to Alli/Aguero for a hit? Will give money to do Özil -> Sanchez later.

  20. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    To the ones selling De Bruyne
    Just wait another week
    Plays Sunderland Next
    Won't Dissapoint you this time.
    Plus he has DGW coming up

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      THIS!

      he's such a good football player. so what if he's having a bad patch, half of these games he's blanked. he's played well. just unlucky.

  21. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    73 after bonus with Ozil to go. Clawed back and overtook a 40 point lead in ML and closed a 60 point gap to 12 points. Chuffed this evening

    1. Takedog1
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      after bonus? has bonus points been added?

  22. LeicesterA
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Still hoping Lukaku matches or outscores Kun. I think it's possible...

  23. MrFrodo
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So who is getting rid of KDB? I think he has to go but who for?

    A. Sánchez
    B. Ozil
    C. Payet
    D. Ali
    E. Other

    My current midfield is Mahrez, Ramsey, Firmino, Watson, De Bruyne

    1. LeicesterA
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Getting rid of a Man City attacker before Sunderland...?

      1. MrFrodo
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        But KDB judt doesnt seem to score on the road and he just keeps letting me down. No doubt i'll give him another chance!

    2. Sverdet

      Tempted by sanchez myself, wait and see until tomorrow

    3. Chenku╰☆╮

      A

  24. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ozil or Ramsey to Firmino?

    1. MrFrodo
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say Ramsey

  25. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    47 points with 3 left to play pre baps

  26. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Walker?

    Current def is: Kosc, Dawson, Baines and Simpson

  27. ol3andre
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Moreno ---> Baines FT? No brainer if Baines is good tomorrow?

    Or any other good defender options at 6.2?

    Bellerin - Toby - Moreno - Simpson - Ben Davies

  28. The Hound
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I think my firmino (c) was called fpl suicide. Glad I stood firm.

    1. Piggs Boson

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
