Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Bournemouth

21 August 2016 3515 comments

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.

    1)bad moves?

      I wouldn't take a hit for Bolasie -- no guarantee he goes right into the squad. Why not look at Negredo or Gray in that price range? Tekkers seems risksy...

    Hi guys - serious FPL query which I'm hoping someone can calm me down with please.

    Picked Aguero as my captain in gameweek 1 - never changed it for Gameweek 2 - I just did a transfer of long to Carroll.

    I've been watching my score all weekend and it's been showing Sergio as my captain.

    Suddenly it has flipped to Vardy. WTF?!!!

    1) anyone else seen this issue

    2) if not is there anything is there anything I can do?!

    Possibly get rid of Firmino also? Would like to hold so can have 2 FT international break but looks like he's gonna drop?

    Carroll injury has sealed it.

    Sanchez + Carroll > Ibra + 5.9 mid

    For that midfield place, is Ramirez my best bet? (Already have Capoue by good fortune)

      Ramirez got subbed after 58 mins. Benteke plus big hitting mid better option imo
