With the international break over and done with, it’s time to turn our attention to Gameweek 4. In particular, it’s a good opportunity to take a look at two team-mates who are currently carving out their international reputations.

West Ham hero Dimitri Payet delighted the French public with his virtuoso performances in Euro 2016, while Michail Antonio got his first taste of life as an England squad member when Sam Allardyce called him up for the Slovakia match.

Both are likely starters against Watford this weekend and, given West Ham’s obliging schedule to come, have to be firmly on our radar.

Antonio’s price point has us favouring the former Nottingham Forest winger in our Watchlist but Payet’s quality cannot be overlooked.

Have we been hasty to ignore the Frenchman’s brilliance? Let’s look deeper into the numbers.

      damn

    2. Concrete
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not advanced enough for his price though with Gundogen back that could change

    3. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      In more teams than Silva, to be fair.

  2. KUNingas
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Play Redmond (ars) or Lamela (stk)?

    1. pratul09
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ditch both

      1. KUNingas
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not now

  3. UptheBlues

    Can somebody explain all this hype about holebas? competition for spot and playing in a poor team. I don't understand

    1. myboycharlie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      More about his fixtures from gw6 onwards

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Watford fans are not sure whether him or Kennedy are going to start

    3. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      wingbackiness

  4. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Lamela > Antonio isn't worth -4 is it?

    1. pratul09
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth -4 but Lamela might not even play.

      1. Gazpilicueta
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If antonio scores, and lamela doesnt play, then clearly maths says yes. it would be worth it. will he score? who knows, maybe Lamela gets a brace in 12 minutes....

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I have Høji berry itching to play!

    2. myboycharlie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth a hit

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers lads

  5. pratul09
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Captain Hazard or Sanchez or Costa?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard

    2. enrico.palazzo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on haz

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Haz over Sanchez?

        Can't decide...

  6. eish
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I need help . . . .3rd choice striker for 8mil or less. . .have negredo

    1. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Defoe and Rondon are nailed on lone strikers

      1. Andy_Social
        10 years, 1 month ago

        As are Llorente, Bony and Tekkers (if you ignore bad Mr. Wickham)

      2. Tiamani Warrior
        10 years, 1 month ago

        who takes peno's for WBA?

        1. Andy_Social
          10 years, 1 month ago

          you gotta get into the box to win a penalty đŸ˜‰

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Morrison

    2. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Beneteke and stick with him for like 4-6 weeks

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bony or Defoe the best options imo

  7. Miro
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bojan -> Ozil worth a -4 ?

    1. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you can't wait until next week, yes.

  8. SlackerD
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of ditching barkley and rolling with double arsenal midfielders, Cazorla instead, thoughts`?

    Heaton - Foster
    Evans William Collins - Amat Shaw
    Hazard Sanchez Cazorla Antonio - Fletcher
    Ibra - Benteke - Defoe

    1. JoshT
      10 years, 1 month ago

      i did that this week.... I think it could shoot us up the ranks!

      Now looking at eve fixtures next few weeks though and they look good....

  9. KingOllie
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is my wc team gtg?

    Cech
    Valencia / Baines / Williams
    Haz(c) / Ozil / Firmino / Puncheon
    Ibra / Kaku / Zasa

    Evans / Amat / hjoj

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Solid

    2. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Zaza's a bit of a punt given we haven't seen him, but otherwise very gtg.

      1. KingOllie
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Yeh i like to have one punt in my team. Can easily swap him for Bony or Tekkers if one bits form and he doesnt.
        Cheers

  10. OLE BOLEH!
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Collins or Williams?

    Is Collins really not so nailed??

    1. KingOllie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ogbana was first choice last season

    2. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sems nailed at the mo, but for how long? Whereas William's nailed for the season.

  11. Concrete
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Those with Hazard and Sanchez, what's the rest of your midfield looking like?

  12. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    With Champions league midweek the City, Arsenal, Spurs and Leicester line-ups might throw up 1 or 2 unlikely starters today

    1. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      More to the point, some will be rested or subbed early to the dismay of the FPL community. I'm looking at the Arsenal midfield!

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        nothing worse when a player you own is withdrawn on 59 minutes

  13. Yome
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Bolasie scored a Hatty against Sunderland last season, just saying...

  14. FAITHNOMORENO
    10 years, 1 month ago

    is baines still on corners and fk?

    1. Kip
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

  15. Blue Gaffer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is a Liv mid essential on a WC?
    If so which one. Considering a 1 week filler in place for a City mid

    1. Yome
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wait for GW6

    2. KingOllie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmimo or mane best picks probably. I wouldnt go without one.
      No europe, fixtures coming good. Very attacking

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino

  16. Blue Gaffer
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Best sub 6.5 mid?

    1. KingOllie
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond, puncheon, snodgrass, lanzini or pereya

    2. KUNingas
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wilshere

  17. sarnshawn
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stones > Davies?
    Or someone else?

  18. MFPL
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Which option?
    A) Heaton, Capoue and Baines (means double up on EVE defence, playing 4-4-2 every week)
    B)Foster, Puncheon and Evans (rotation between Puncheon and Evans)

    Rest of team:
    **** (Jakupovic)
    Valencia Williams Masuaku **** (Amat)
    Sanchez Hazard Mane Antonio ****
    Ibra Lukaku (Diomande)

    1. Kip
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The one where you dont play 4-4-2 every week

  19. Kip
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I bought both shaw(5.6) and valencia(5.6) at 5.5

    Would you sell any of them for baines/coleman. And if so, which one?

    1. Concrete
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw to Baines

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Stick with double UTD defence for now

    3. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Double United - they look solid and both look good attack wise. Baines with fixtures and penalties seems high up the list.

  20. OLE BOLEH!
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Moving forward, capoue or puncheon?

    Missed the scoutcast - what's the hype around puncheon again?

  21. Count of Monte Hristo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is Hazard a safer (c) choice than Sánchez?

    Just thinking of Sanchez arriving back late and having CL in midweek whereas Hazard doesn't have that.

    1. Andy_Social
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, the lack of euro action works for Chelsea

  22. henryleeds
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Morning lads, one final piece to the puzzle:

    A) Foster, Collins, Kone, Snoddy + 1.2ITB
    B) Heaton, Evans, Friend, Antonio + 0ITB

    Any help would be appreciated:)

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      10 years, 1 month ago

      C) Heaton, Evans, Kone, Snoddy +$ITB for aguero

      1. henryleeds
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, that makes more sense as it'll mean I'll only have to make 2 transfers to get Aguero in, shame about missing out on antonios fixtures though

  23. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A Kane blank today and he should be 10.8 before his home game with Sunderland next week

  24. eish
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Linden Gooch nailed on?

    1. Tiamani Warrior
      10 years, 1 month ago

      don't think so they've got quite a few options in midfield and he's not very experienced

  25. OptimusBlack
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who To Play ?

    A- Remond

    B- Capoue

    1. Deyanski
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Redmond

  26. Eskimooo
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra / snoddy
    Vs
    Rooney / sterling ?

  27. Bobadoba
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Play Capoue, Redmond or get in Antonio for a 4 point hit?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Capoue

  28. Bobadoba
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So peeps,

    Antonio in for Redmond (for a 4 point hit)?

    Or I could play Capoue

    Have a feeling Antonio could do quite well.

  29. zaydon
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. zaydon
