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.

    Best under 6,5 replacement for Gray after ban?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Rondon

    2. Jude Rooney
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Won't get banned

      1. rdamjan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure about that...

        1. Jude Rooney
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Was years ago - warning and possible fine at worst

          1. Thomas Magnum
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Agreed

      2. My Name Is Prince
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Still wanna ship though, regardless...

  2. FC nelo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    To crazy to go without ibra? Plan to bring in aguero for tekkers and one MF to a cheapo.

    Good or bad?
    Foster
    Valencia Baines Masuaku
    Hazard Sanches Ozil Payet
    Benteke Bony Defoe

    Marshall Wilson Capoue Pieters

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes very crazy

    2. Eskimooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No it's not , your team needs lukaku maybe though

  3. Acquafresca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is this good to go lads?

    Foster
    Valencia Evans Friend
    Hazard(c) Alexis(vc) Firmino Redmond
    Ibra Lukaku Gray

    Subs: Jaku, Capoue, Stones, Amat.

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      On a (-4) too.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yup. Looks good

    3. thep025
      • 10 Years

      Gtg

    4. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good. Id be tempted to play Capoue over Redmond.

      1. Acquafresca
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Really? Even with Redmond playing up top?

  4. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Mahrez versus "left back" Milner. This could be nasty..

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Better than Mahrez vs the 'left bac' Moreno 😉

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Sad but true!

    2. Jude Rooney
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Think Milner will play him well

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        We'll see. Vardy and Slimani will cause them troubles too.

    3. Zikry
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Mahrez vs Kingsley didn't end up too well last game week 🙁

      1. Arteta
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        True that. He scored 2 for Algeria so his confidence should be back.

  5. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Didnt Payets returns take a significant drop when he was played on the left instead of in the hole?

    1. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No, he's actually better from the left. Just think back to the Euro's.

  6. BB-8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A. Lukaku Puncheon Williams (4.5 mid)
    B. Benteke Mirallas Baines (4.5 mid)
    C. Benteke Bolasie Baines (Capoue)

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A

  7. meksss
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    RMT!

    Foster / Heaton

    Bellerin / Baines / Collins / Evans / Love

    Hazard / Ozil / Sterling / Barkley / Antonio

    Costa / Lukaku / Diomande

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good. How do you get aguero in? Not having ibra is risky

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Agreed

      2. meksss
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Is it crucial to have kun/ibra? I know its the norm but I can afford a very well balanced squad with the money i save. Costa and lukaku have the ability to have 20 goal seasons. Its definitely food for thought.

  8. mdm
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Who to captain:

    A. Hazard
    B. Costa
    C. Gray
    D. Ibra

    thanks

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A or B

  9. Scholes Balls
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    GTG ?

    Gea Janu
    Evans Amat Valencia (Wilson, Love)
    Lamela Firmino Barkley Hazard (Fletcher)
    Rondon Ibra Costa

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No too many 4 million defenders unless you want too take the risk

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        planning to fix that next week with 2 FTs

    2. Jude Rooney
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade Lamela and upgrade at least one of your defenders

      1. Scholes Balls
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        planning to downgrade de gea to heaton and get williams for wilson

  10. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Pick one
    A) Payet and Capoue
    B) Antonio and Cazorla/Walcott (which one)

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B with Caz

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Any reason?

        1. Scholes Balls
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Capoue got 2 lucky goals might not score in the next 6 months. Cazorla is on pens and there are a lot of those this season. Payet not yet in form.

  11. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Should I play Holebas over Valencia?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I see both teams conceding but yes play Holebas

    2. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Na.

    3. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No.

  12. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Whispers of a Perez start.

    1. Acquafresca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Indeed. Both him and Mustafi could make their debut.

      1. Lateriser 12
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Good news for Alexis i reckon.

        1. Acquafresca
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Captain Haz over Alexis yes?

          1. Lateriser 12
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            I am. Tempted to cap Ibra.

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      good. make the circle bigger.

    3. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Last night there was a strong notion that both perez and mustafi would start. Its what kept me from getting giroud for aguero

    4. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Since his arrival he was preparing 2 weeks in London and settled in. I expect him to start.

      Wenger: "I could focus on the players that stayed here for the two weeks, and see how everybody comes back, maybe rest a few because we play again on Tuesday. The fact that I have a very complete squad [makes] these decisions easier."

      1. la boneza
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Walcott still to start or possibly in jeopardy?

  13. blacky7475
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all.

    Here's my dilemma...

    Currently have Friend(CRY) on my bench, with the following all starting:

    Shaw(MCI) - PVA(EVE) - Evans(bou)
    Cazorla(SOU) - Hazard(swa) - Capoue(whu) - Lamela(sto) - Townsend(mid)

    Should I:

    A) stick
    B) swap and, if so, who with

    Thoughts appreciated.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'd play him. I'd drop Shaw - controversial, I know. Otherwise maybe for PVA - I'm not convinced by any Sunderland player.

  14. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Final shout out. Lock this front 8 in?

    Hazard payet ozil coutinho lanzini
    Rooney lukaku diomande

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Payet AND Lanzini?

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Don't like Rooney or Diamonde. Upgrade one, imo.

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Upgrade diomande

      Rooney will come good this season. Looking better than Ibra

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        You can't upgrade Dio without splurging another 2m - he's simply cheap benchfodder.

      2. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Are you seroius?

    4. Christina.
      • 16 Years

      get milner

  15. thep025

    9 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go?
    Foster
    Valencia Stones Friend
    Sanchez Hazard(C) Firmino Redmond
    Lukaku Ibra Gray
    Subs:Heaton,Capoue,Morgan,Amat

    Yet to use my WC(trying to save it) and no FTs. Any changes in the lineup/bench?

  16. MOZIL
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Captain ozil or firmino for a punt???

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Firm

    2. thep025
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Firmino might be punty....Might work...

    3. Scholes Balls
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      GO for Ozil, leicester could sit back and defend all game. Does not look like a potential blowout

      1. MOZIL
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        could be the same with southampton

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Foster
    Valencia - Baines - Evans
    Hazard (c) - Sanchez (vc) - Sterling - El Snoddo
    Ibra - Costa - Defoe

    Jaku - Capoue - Holebas - Amat

    Any comments?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Looks perfect. Even without Everton attack.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Baines IS Everton attack 😎

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years

          Lol, true.

    4. S.Kuqi

      Captain Costa.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        -1pt (YC) x 2, no thanks 😀

    5. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think you need Everton attack. Barkley at the very least

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        See Baines for Everton attack 😉

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          This. Attacking, pens, has share of set pieces

    6. somebody
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      just putting a doubt in your plan. Is Defoe good at home

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Score when he wants.....

  18. stumanchuu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Redmond or Ramirez worth a -4 to anyone of note except sanchez? Already did aguero to Lukaku...or just hold tight?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Ramirez to Mane or Ozil.

      Keep Redmond.

      1. stumanchuu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thx

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I did Redmond to Mané for a -4 the other night, simply because I wanted to have a outstanding captainicy option. Also did Kun to Lukaku earlier.

      Ramirez stays as Palace is one of the better fixtures you can get.

      So that were my moves, although if you are confident enough in any of Haz, Sanchez or Ibra to captain, I'd hold tight.

      1. stumanchuu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Thx... I hate hits so not sure...may just reasses next week...

          Not World class. But has energy, edge of the seat stuff, like in Gravity.

  20. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Increased my spend in defence. As I believe that's where the points is with these upcoming run of fixtures. Still got a strong mid and forwards. I'm very happy with my WC team.

    Am I good to go? Bench correct?

    Cech.
    Valencia. Baines. Masuaku.
    Hazard (C). Barkley (VC). Ozil. Sterling.
    Benteke. Ibra. Zaza.

    Bench; Pickford. Evans. Capoue. Amat.

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Good to go. Although I would be tempted to start Evans.

  21. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So it all boils down to one last question on a wc:

    A Sanchez and bony
    B ozil and lukaku

    Please help, I'm going in circles

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Is lukaku still such a hot commodity without penalties?

    2. Weeb Kakashi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez Defoe!!

      Can Swap to Bony after he picks some form! Defoe had great initial fixtures!!

  22. indiangunner
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Nolito or Sterling (Nolito owned by only 5.5% of the players)

    Will Giroud start?

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling and yes

    Hey guys... new to this site but really loving the community so far.

    I'm currently on my WC:
    Cech (Foster)
    Evans Valencia Baines (Holebas,Amat)
    Payet Ozil Snodgrass Hazard (Capoue)
    Benteke Costa Lukaku

    How's she looking ?

    Also planning to downgrade premium mid and striker for Kun's return

      Welcome to you. Get yourself a grav (see FAQ). Looks very strong to me - one or two big calls. Maybe too much spent on keepers - why not get a 4.0 to go with Cech and upgrade Holebas? Like Snod pick!!

        Thanks for the reply. I agree with the keepers, originally I had Foster and Jaku but then opted for Cech for Arsenal coverage. Now I understand that was a mistake as I already have Evans as a defender and don't need Foster as a keeper...

        Luckily I captained Costa this week 🙂

    I've changed my team so much, I cant remember what i started with.

    DG, Jakup
    Williams, Monreal, Love, Evans, Amat
    Sanchez, Hazard, Antonio, Fer, Mirallas
    Defoe, Ibra, Tekkers.

    I still need to free up 0.1 but don't know where from.

    Pls help

      Never a fan of pre planned transfers...never works out when I do

        Never really works for me either actually. But when it's for Aguero I still try (and will probably still fail)...

    any help greatly appreciated! i'm out the door ina sec golfing so this is it for this morning.

    A: Rameriz (CPL)
    B: Payet -4 (WAT)
    C: Ozil -4 (SOU)

    A=no hits to get Aguero back, B&C mean 2 4pointers I reckon
