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).

    1. SuperMario
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

  7. Davido989
    • 15 Years

    How did Ighalo and Mahrez look tonight?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Much better.

  9. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I would like to start by saying that i have 74 points with Baines left. And there's that.

    But to be fair i've also sold Valencia for Aguero.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Lukaku can make that score look average by tomorrow 😉

  10. seasidemafia
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    dont think lukaku will get points tomorrow

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

  12. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Went Lukaku over Kun as capt...benched Alli over Mahrez, Simpson on my bench

    Hoping for something big tomorrow

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

    3. Sepp Blattered
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

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

      2CSs + Alli+Aggy+Iggy(C) Simples 😉

  14. Tansey
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    YYT -> Firmino, or would selling Yaya before Sunderland be crazy?

  15. Sepp Blattered
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1260 Overall Points including BAPS... Anyone know what the Overall Rank would be roughly?

    1. Aarono23
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      About 12k

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

      should be enough for a green arrow

  16. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. Mull

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years

    If KDB is 10.8 and my selling price is 10.5, if he drops in price tonight will I lose out?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      What price did you buy?

      1. Aarono23
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry, this. Just assumed you brought him at 10.2

    2. Aarono23
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. In same situation

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

    Lukaku captainers, do you regret captaining him over Aguero?

    1. Kagawa-san-mia
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not yet, lukaku i feel has a good chance thats why i captained him

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure they're thrilled.

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

      I'll tell you after the Everton game.

  20. Zeeco
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kdb to firmino?

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

    Lads.

    Butland
    Monreal - Dann - Wollschied - Moreno - _______

    Which defender would you pick to join that backline?

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

      Targett?

  22. palace ash
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do I pull the trigger???

    KdB -> Firming
    Ighalo -> Aguero

    A price rise tonight will kill me but I have 2FTs

    1. palace ash
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      *Firmino

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

      yes

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

    So many kneejerkers with early transfers

    Liverpool, Everton, Stoke, Man City have 2 games to play before next GW

    Everyone else has a game

    If you don't have Payet/ Firmino hold out unless you can't deal with a price rise. Red cards and injuries can happen...

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Top advice ^

      2 games for Kun's hammys.

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

    one of mark's points was you can't judge aguero v no aguero in isolated gameweeks. so although sunderland looks tasty let's see where we are after city get this glut of away games out the way

      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I just don't get it. He is the Ronaldo, RVP, Suarez of years gone past and has 4 years of goals, assists and stats to back it up. Sure he had a barren few weeks at the start of the season, but the fact that the 5 weeks without a goal were his longest barren run of starts in the Premier League says enough really.

  25. Numb
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'm not a Payet owner but this is where the stats based bonus system is frustrating. Anyone can see he was the best player but no baps (I'm assuming) - stats don't tell the whole story.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      As Epicfail said earlier. Probably on for bonus if it's the man in the stands

    2. Flintstone
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Great to watch, Awareness and control is beyond!!

    3. Taffer
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      doesn't matter - he's got villa at home next

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

      yeah totally agree he was amazing but will only get 2 pts

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

      Exactly. He was worth 3 BP´s in anyones book today, easily. But he´ll be lucky to get 1.

    6. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      They need to use the MOTM verdicts at the very least

  26. Flintstone
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any Leicester players with baps?

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

      Yeah Drinkwater, Fuchs, Vardy

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      All Stoke defenders

      1. Flintstone
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Vardy with the 1 bap?

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      3 of them

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

    Is Sanchez likely to start tomorrow?

  28. Taffer
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    One of my H2H games boils down to Bellerin (him) vs. Baines (me) - feeling good

  29. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I've had KdB since his debut game against Palace. How did he play today? I think he has to go...

    1. kijsberg
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Looked bad.

    2. Bazzalona
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      didn't do a lot, although there were times he was let down by the poor passing of others.
      but whenever he plays on the wing especially away from home it just doesn't look right, he won't displace silva as the no 10 but you get the impression he'd score pts galore in that position

  30. st4rt__
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What a dreadful GW.

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

      at least watford won
