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.

    Firmino vs Alli - who would you say is the priority to get out?

    Alli - didn't start on the weekend, but looked good when he came on - susceptible to rotation though?

    Firmino - 3 really tough fixtures in a very inconsistent Liverpool team.

    Finding it to be a pretty tough one!

    Would you get Rondon for Carroll

    OR

    Ibra for Carroll for a hit (meaning id have to replace Hazard or Mahrez for a Mid with a value of 6.2 or less.

    Evening. Is Eriksen > Barkley a sensible move?

    Price changes tonight are sort of forcing my hand, would rather not drop 0.2 in TV unnecessarily this early on. Have an extra FT if it all goes wrong and Barkley gets injured in the cup on Tuesday (he probably won't play, but yeah)

    Okay, asked a similar question earlier but narrowed down my options. Quick A or B please
    2 FTs. Alli & Firmino to....
    A) Hazard & Townsend
    B) Firmino & Lamela (Keep 1 FT)

    Rest of my attack is:
    Mahrez Firmino Alli Redmond Capoue
    Kun Ibra Gray

      Also I realise Barkley is probably a better pick than Lamela but I can't face picking a Koeman player as he is a massive snake X

    Is Dele Alli worth -4 hit due to price fall or keep?

    Also have firmino too maybe dropping in price

      Not for a hit. Liverpool's defense is bad.

        With Alli price to fall tonight still not worth the -4 hit?

        Does value make a big difference only 0.1 in the long run?

        Look lively when he came on hit the bar was unlucky

        Tadic even if I have redmond?

        Wondering if Barkley is a good choice?

    Quick silly question to gauge rivals transfers / WCs... Does 'value' that can be seen on the gameweek history page include money in the bank?
