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.

    Great to be outside of the 15 mins into the game Lol@ cretinous zone and also the "Is 63 from 2 any good comments ".These pearls of wisdom should be banned permanently as they contribute absolutely nothing to this site. Occasional posters are most frequently the major culprits.

      City will surely rest their most important players (read: Aguero) though. But yeah, in general, I think this midweek is a bigger worry than int. break due to the fact that we have a couple of important cheap enablers at smaller clubs that will put out their best teams in the Carling Cup (or whatever it's called now). Those we enable for (Aguero*, Ibrahimovic) won't play international football - and neither will the cheap enablers.

      *Did he retire from int. football or was it just rumours?

Next week looks like a green arrow waiting to happen, though, but now it feels like an embarrassment of riches with 2 FTs.

    In the world's most boring transfer, B. Smith to Amat before the price rise? Got 2 FT and pretty happy with the rest of my team, bar injury.

    No spare cash ITB, so would have to be now. Thought it might be worth it to get a playing 4.0 defender.

    Annoyed at missing the chance to transfer Vardy out before his price drop, that 0.1 is seriously affecting my plans.

    Is there any striker I could bring in tonight that will rise 0.2 within the next week effectively regaining the 0.1 drop.

    Negredo?

    Gray / Ibrahimovic / Aguero

    itb: 0

    What would you do if it was your team?
    I'm thinking about leaving it and make 2 transfers next week but still not sure
    Townsend also failed to deliver and not sure about keeping him
    Feghouli is a doubt and I don't know what to do about him

    any advice appreciated

      id wildcard.
      You can do Mahrez to Firmino
      Townsend to Redmond
      Feghouli to Lamela
      Baily to shaw/valencia (they will score more points than baily)

    Need some help. Have Vardy but he looks awful. Alli as well isn't doing well. Could do Alli and Vardy to Hazard and somebody under 9.8. Is it worth doing this for a minus 4, had to transfer out Ayew last week?

    Can't do a straight swap for Alli. Or should I hold one more week and see if Alli plays agaisnt Pool and Vardy might do well against Swansea?

    Any help appreciated

        Vardy looked bad agaisnt Arsenal imo. Seems teams are on to Leicster, playing a really deep back line so Vardy can't race in behind. Hazard looks very very good.

        I might just bite the bullet and take and not get Haz right now and let him rise

          If you get Hazard in now it might pay off. Alli/Vardy haven't really done much yet

    Leading ML atm, happy about that. But not that happy about my team. It feels like it has potential to score a lot but instead some players are about to drop (Firmino, Gray).

    Foster
    Stones-Valencia-Morgan
    Hazard-Firmino-Tadic-Feghouli
    Zlatan-Aguero-Gray

    Jak-Friend-Amat-Leko

    What would you do with this team? 0.5 mil itb and 2 FTs.

      Morgan to a 4.5 that rotates well with Friend and Amat. And Firminio to Ozil.

      Also consider Tadic to Redmond and Feghouli to Lamela over the next couple weeks.
