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.

    Hey all,

    Please help with my final wc dilemma?

    A. Bellerin and Bolasie, or

    B. Cazorla and PVA

    If it matters, I currently have Sanchez, Lukaku and Baines.

    I'm leaning towards B due to the set piece factor.

    1. TotalJustice
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      B coz Bolasie will share minutes i guess

    My team as below, any comments pls before I hit the confirm button. Thanks!

    Heaton (foster)
    Valencia terry stones ( Kingsley, Amat)
    Hazard Sanchez lamela coutinho (capoue)
    Ibra Zaza negredo

    1. Capoue
      • 9 Years

      Bad

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

      I don't like the Terry-pick, not nailed long term I guess when Zouma is back. Lamela is not nailed due to late arrival from Internationals. Also heard rumours of Sturridge taken Coutinho's spot against Leicester. I also don't fancy Negredo (not that good underlying statistics).

      I would do Terry -> Masuaku/Williams/
      Pva,
      Lamela -> Antonio and Negredo -> Defoe

  10. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Any comments highly appreciated - 1) or 2)? I'm on WC.

    1) Sanchez and Ozil
    -> GW6: Sanchez -> 6,1 mid to keep Ibra

    2) Sanchez and Mane
    -> GW6: Sanchez -> 6,7 mid to keep Ibra

  11. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Last question before I confirm my WC. Best 5m defender for the next 5 GW's (have Williams)

    A, Masuaku
    B PVA
    C Other

    1. GE

      9 years, 6 months ago

      Masuaku

  12. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which combo?

    A) Sanchez, Redmond + 6.5 striker
    B) Ozil, Redmond, Defoe

    Please help!

    Have heard some talk about McAuley's place being in danger. How real is the threat?

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

      Really? I'd be annoyed ha...2 cleanses and a goal so far

    2. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Doubt that very much.

      McAuley and Evans will almost certainly be Pulis' favored CB pairing now Galloway has arrived to play LB.

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

      Doubt in immediate future but Nyom will be starting at RB soon I think. Would push Dawson back to the middle and think Evans is locked in as his partner. McAuley would be odd man out in that scenario

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Age is the issue

  14. HellasLEAF
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Let me ask this then. Regardless if ban coming.

    Negrado or Gray.

  15. UptheBlues
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    May sound ridiculous, but is Cazorla a good alternative to Ozil? That 2m could be quite useful

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

      I'll be getting caz in once Aguero returns

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

      Depends if he gets more penalty chances or not I'd say

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

    Do you think Manchester derby will be high scoring? Or buses everywhere?

    Debating Ibra vs Lukaku captain cheers

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

      Busses

  17. zaydon
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bench one plz
    1-valencia
    2-williams
    3-collins
    4-evans

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

      Between 3/4

      I've benched Evans and playing Masuaku.

  18. Jøssy ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    What do you think of these two defences? Not allowed Everton or United:

    Evans & Amat 4th/5th spots

    A) Stones - Masuaku - van Aanholt
    B) Stones - Walker - Koné
    C) Monreal - 4.5 - Koné

    C, I'm undecided who another decent 4.5 could be.

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

      Can you not have cech. Cheaper route.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'd rather my Foster pick.

        If I go for Cech, then I'm on 5 - 4.5 - 4.5 as my first choice defenders

    2. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I like b

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I do, if I'm confident Walker start every week. But there's a lot of talk of rotation now the CL is here

  19. wendty
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone captaining Gray as a differential? I see him scoring well at home vs Hull. Is it too risky to captain him over Hazard or Sanchez?

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

      Brave

  20. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry bottomed....

    Any Thoughts on lamela to Antonio for a hit???...or do I stick?

    Foster (jaku)
    Valencia kone friend (stones amat)
    Hazard firmino lamela ozil (capoue)
    Lukaku ibra gray

    Thanks

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

      Depends if you believe the rumours that he'll be rested

    2. karvs155
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stick imo. Lamela stk away could bring points

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        He's going to be rested tho ....

  21. lukedib
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on Jonny Evans?

  22. Eden Azzzar
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Does Kun come back GW 6 or 7

    1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      6.

  23. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Snodgrass or Puncheon?

    And Defoe or Benteke?

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

      Snod because I'd go for benteke

      Or punch and Defoe

      1. Blame It On Rio-ddermorten
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. I agree, both Puncheon and Benteke is putting a little too much faith in Crystal Palace.

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

    After looking at photos from yesterday's training I have 2 more news:

    - Gabriel is back so now Arsene has 4 fit centre backs
    - midfielder Marcus McGuane (1999) also joined the training with the first team

  25. karvs155
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go? Any hits needed?
    3.8 ITB

    Foster
    Shaw baines Stones
    Haz(c) Firmino lamela redmond
    Ibra Gray lukaku

    Jaku, Capoe friend Kingsley

    1. simosalminen
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stones -> Friend would be a clear choice. Bookies also think that Jaku has a better chance of keeping a cleanie, but IMHO Hull have been quite lucky so far and I'd probably go with Foster.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Don't think lamela is g9ing to play....

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

    Slight change. Traditional Saturday team check.

    Foster
    Valencia Williams Friend
    Alexis Hazard(c) Firmino Lamela
    Ibra(vc) Negredo Benteke

    Jaku Capoue Stones Amat

    Would you play AOA?

    1. karvs155
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, looks good

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

      Never.

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

      Capoue vs West Ham?

      I think not.

      Stick. Hope Lamela plays for you.

  27. UptheBlues
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    best 4.5 m defenders? already own Foster and PVA so preferably not from West Brom or Sunderland
