A dramatic Saturday comes to its conclusion as West Ham United take on Arsenal at the London Stadium.

All eyes are on the Gunners’ Alexis Sanchez as he looks for a fourth double-figure haul on the road.

Having scored twice against Bournemouth last week, the Chilean headed into Gameweek 14 just one point off the top of the Fantasy Premier League standings.

An injury to Philippe Coutinho has prompted new interest in Theo Walcott – the wide man earned more transfers in than any player last week after notching his sixth of the season against Eddie Howe’s side.

The search for a new midfielder means we’ll also be monitoring the display of Dimitri Payet, with the Hammers’ schedule taking a turn for the better from Gameweek 16 onwards.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Sanchez likely to rise tonight?

    1. SUPERMAN
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Probably.

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        72% now

    3. ImTheDude
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ibra or Kane for aguero?

      1. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kane

    4. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Soooooo sad not having sanchez
      Depressed
      Angry
      Giving up...

        9 years, 4 months ago

        me2 .. for months now i knew it could kill me in my mini legaue which is full of him.. and today with 3x guys captaining him i think i lost it..

    5. Too Mane Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Holebas + Walcott + Aguero > Alonso + Alexis + Defoe -8 ???

      Already own Hazard + Redmond and willing to avoid Costa + Austin for now

      Many thanks in advance

    6. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No Sanchez or Kane but still got 54 with firmino left so idk I guess I've done alright

    7. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Agüero -> Costa this week, Benteke -> Kane/Zlatan next.

      Makes sense, yeah?

      1. Vlad
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        maybe take a hit.. they will rise both a few times.. kane for sure, ibra depending on if he scores tomorrow..

    8. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wow all the ground gain this morning is lost by not owning Sanchez

      Still a green arrow

      Kun+redmond-> iheanacho+Sanchez

    9. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kun and Lukaku to Costa and Kane good to go for 2 FTs right now?

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Aye

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Cheers

    10. Kroosin'
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Always captain the premium players. Going to live by this rule from the next GW.

      Austin (c) 🙁

      Still managed 56 points. But I guess 60-70 in the average score here.

      1. Ne0
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Top 10k average is 56.6 so you still did well enough.

      2. Jolly Good
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Most who followed that rule capped kun

    11. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Spurs likely to rest Kane midweek right? Now that they're out?

      1. Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Even if he isnt, he ll play next week unless he is injured again.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Going for an early transfer, worried about a possible injury.

      2. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think so. It's a wise move if Poch does rest him.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'll be surprised if he starts. Cheers.

    12. Ne0
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Which is better?
      A) Costa + McAuley
      B) Defoe + Alonso

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A

        1. Ne0
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Costa on 4 YC and my weak def (Cedric, Holebas, Pieters, Kingsley) is swaying me towards B though

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I'm focusing more on attack until the second half of the season.

      2. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        A

    13. sambyy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I need to downgrade Vertonghen if I want to afford Sanchez. Feels wrong because Spurs have great fixtures coming and Toby coming back.

      1. jurgenklopp.8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        send your team? If you don't mind, need wider context to give any decent advice.

    14. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How injured is Costa?

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kinda want to know this too.

      2. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Looked ok in the post match interview, but wait for news.

      3. the axolotl
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        looked fine running to get involved in the scrap at the end

    15. BullDogTevez
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      My h2h opponent this week has scored 101 pts, 18 bonus pts to come. He triple captained Alexis. Still has De Gea to go. Wouldn't surprise me if 119 is in the top 50 ranked for the GW.

    16. ZakAFC_
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Pickford
      Holebas, Koscielny, Fuchs
      Redmond, Firmino, Walcott, Hazard
      Aguero, Kane, Austin

      Pickford, de Roon, Pieters, Kingsley

      1.1 ITB

      Got the exact amount to do Aguero > Costa, Walcott > Alexis. Do it tonight?

    17. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Aguero injury giving everyone money is going to mean a Sanchez triple rise right?

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Injury?

        1. Too Mane Men
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Pride injured after that horror tackle on David. Had to go.

        2. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          You know what I mean! 🙂

        3. Bellerinmondo
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          injurer

      2. Tansey
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Would think so... at least a double

        1. Tansey
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Some people using the cash on Chelsea too though

      3. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        who would they sell though? Unless u downgrade Aguero to some cheapie

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Don't own Aguero.

          Have Kane and Ibra currently

          Would be Firmino and Walcott to Sanchez and Moses.

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I'm currently considering Firmino > Sanchez. I need to find 0.7m from somewhere though.
            Fuchs > 4.7m? For-4

            1FT 0.5m itb
            Foster
            Alonso,4.7m,Lovren
            Sanchez,Hazard,Erikson,Siggy
            Ibrahimovic,Kane,Austin

            Jakopovic,DeRoon,Chambers,Amat

      4. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I reckon

    18. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How did Anichebe look today? His stats are crazy (looking for ways to squeeze all these big hitters in :))

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        🙂 )

    19. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Won a tenner off Sanchez's first goal, eighteen quid off his second, and thirty five quid off his third. And had him captain. Nice.

      1. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Nice one!

    20. MartialMatas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kun W.Keane Walcott Fuchs -> Costa De Roon Alonso and Kane/Ibrafor -8?

      My team is:

      Heaton Pickford
      Fuchs Lovren Holebas Pieters Amat
      Sanchez Hazard Firmino Walcott Siggy
      Kun Austin W.Keane

    21. Bored Bear
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      iheanacho or austin short term?

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Think I'm going for Iheanacho

      2. We ain't got no histor…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Nacho

    22. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      My team:

      Foster / pick
      Alonso, pieters, mee, friend, Amat
      Sanchez, hazard, firmino, siggy, de roon
      Kun, Lukaku, vokes

      Kun and Lukaku to Kane and costa for -4 tonight?

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. Done it for free myself.

    23. DrunkPhilosophy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa or Kane for Aguero?

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'd try and get both

        1. DrunkPhilosophy
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Been trying to squeeze both but can't seem to do it without ruining the balance of the team, how would you do it with this lot?

          Pickford Heaton
          Alonso Holebas Amat Evans Kelly
          Siggy Sanchez Hazard Firmino DeRoon
          Aguero Benteke Austin
          0.5 itb 1 FT

          Only way I see is just Kane for now and maybe Costa after his yellow that is never coming!

    24. Scotty B
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hopefully a Firmino hat trick tomorrow:)

    25. Bazzalona
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This game would be so much easier if Sanchez was classed as a striker.
      Trying to fit all the scoring midfielders in is impossible.

      1. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        What is your team? I have sanchez, hazard, firmino and erikson

        1. Bazzalona
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Mane Firmino Eriksen (in today so fluked that one) and Sterling.
          Sterling has been 'going' for a while but needed to sort other areas first.
          Can get one of Hazard or Sanchez in but both means a really big hit.

          1. GreenArrows
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Defo get Sterling out, downgrade for cash. I would probs take Mane out for either Hazard or Sanchez.

    26. Kevtheotter
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Any reason not to do Kun and Pedro --> Costa and Hazard -4?

      Worries about that Costa yellow flag

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I think Costa will be fine, didn't look serious at all and walked off the pitch

      2. Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I was worried about it for the last 5 gameweeks and I missed out on loads of points.

        1. Kroosin'
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Oh wait. I read it as yellow card. My bad

    27. The Red Devil
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      taken a 8 point hit

      theo capoue & aguero OUT

      Alexis austin & siggy IN

    28. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Exact cash for aguero mane to Costa Sanchez for -4. No brainer right?

      1. Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Aguero to Costa yes.

        But the other move depends on whether you have liverpool cover or not.

      2. n-doggg
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yea

    29. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Scrap that.

      84 - 4

      Firmino Lovren Williams to play 😀

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Nicely played, well done

      Subtle brag here 🙄 😎
      Am I safe from elimination in LMS?

      Score of 83

      1. Kroosin'
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Really subtle. Congrats though 🙂

    31. sthelenslad92
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I got rid of Hazard for Sanchez a few weeks back, looks like I need to get him back in >_< Which Chelsea midfielder would you have in after Hazard?

      1. Shultan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Moses
