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.

    6.5 fwd picks working out just fine for playing the game.

    Brother has Gray, Son has Negredo and I have Rondon....

    Not much between them and a nice rivalry.

      I switched Gray to Negredo last week, pretty happy with my decision still.
      Negredo has better fixtures coming up isn't a homophobic tw @ and I managed to bag the price rises

        He looks good. In fact all three do tbh....I really can't get Gray for the reason you said, plus the fact i'm a Blackburn lad so it's a total no go.

      I am considering negredo in for vardy.

      Still quite happy starting with the big three, wanted to wait for a striker to emerge rather than guessing. Might have picked Rondon!

    What to do?
    1) Carroll -> 6.5 (Rondon?) for -4
    2) Carroll, Firmino -> Rondon, Ozil for -8
    3) Play WC

      appears pretty rejuvenated under Koeman, which again (with hindsight being the most frustrating part of this game) was always a big possibility. Really should have had a goal as well, playing just off the main striker. Chance he could drop deeper now Bolasie has arrived with Deulofeu playing in behind but think it's unlikely.

      Mirallas man of the match vs Baggies and did defensive duties which Koeman had publicly asked for from him and Deulofeu.

      I think Delo will lose his spot to Bolasie this coming GW. Long term, I agree Bolasie and Barkley will be the "most nailed" with Deulo and Mirallas rotating a lot.

        Mirallas is a one week punt before I WC. Attacking returns in both games so far and is another guy who is fpl gold when on the park which he will be after MoTM display vs Albion

          Miralles is a rotation risk for me now Bolasie is back.

        Actually I'm not sure now, McCarthy likely to be replaced then.

      Williams might come in for Holgate... I'm very tempted if he can nail down a spot though

      Too be fair it does require a large amount of physical energy.

    Any advice on a replacement for Carroll?
    Is he dropping later btw?

    1. Firmino- Barkley (or other for 8.1m or less) + Carroll- Benteke
    2. Carroll - Negredo/Gray (Who would u choose of these?)

    Foster, Heaton.
    Valencia, Souare, Friend, Amat, Stones.
    Hojbjerg, Redmond, Hazard. Firmino, Lamela.
    Aguero, Carroll*, Ibra.
    2ft's- 0.5m

    Thinking just Carroll- Negredo??
    Like for like basically..

      I have Gray but would prob go Negredo in your situation.
      I'm prob giving Firmino another week personally.

    Bad decisions a common theme so far, benched Morgan and played Friend. Very annoying.

    106 points so far, a poor start!! Only consolation is I managed to get Ibra in for Vardy without a hit for next week.

    Ah well, chasing is always much more fun than leading in mini leagues is it not?

      Townsend i'd say. Stoke aren't looking great, Bojan very unpredictable and injury prone.

      Townsend. 100% nailed and Tekkers gives him an extra target. I think Tekkers arrival could boost his appeal slightly
