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

    Hmmm.... Stoke has not conceded more than 1 goal in a match since GW2, but does that mean much when they play at Arsenal?

    That said, Arsenal hasn't really been that great recently. Just against Hammers, but they've been kinda rubbish.

    1. Camp No No

      *GW5.

        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        But still. 9GW's without conceding more than 1/match. It does say that they've not been the easiest opponent.

        Although, that's probably because they've been playing weak attacks.

      Going to go away and study the stats tonight to judge whether a Stoke hammering is likely. My gut tells me it isn't but I'm not sure I believe it...

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Are you going to come up with a judgment on that before the price changes occur?

    3. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years

      Arsenal s overall form and Sanchez s morale will change everything.. can see them shipping 3 goals for the first time .

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Arsenal's overall form was awful coming to this match. Will 1 match change it?

        Stoke shipped 4 goals thrice in the first 5 GW's.

  2. David Davros

    Don't have Costa or Sanchez. Hard to see how I can get them both as well.

    Which would you prioritise getting in and why?

    1. timski8000
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez edges it for me.

      Midfielder playing up top.

      Costa still on suspension tight rope.

      Ihenacho is surely a great shout to free up endless funds?!

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez is scary but I would have to say Costa.

    3. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Might be a great hot topic for the coming days, Costa Vs Sanchez seems the new issue (for certain people).

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

        If ibra bags tomorrow you have to consider him as well considering fixtures! Eriksen has thrown a spanner in the works too. My head hurts!!

    4. Super-Anders
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sanchez!
      But go for both even if you need 2-3 hits. This season is running away from me beacuse I ignored them so far.

  3. Js31
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Taking a -8 and ditching Firmino leaving me with front 7 of:

    Hazard Sanchez Mikh Siggy
    Kane Costa Austin

    I think it's worth it

    1. Toure The Route
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      might depend on whether Mkhi starts this week and if Bobby scores tomorrow .

      1. Js31
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        True. Gonna have to do it tonight to catch prise rises. Can always downgrade Mkh to Firmino but I think they'll struggle without Cout

    Guys i have a question: why are my players showing a lower price in my team than they are in the transfer market? in example: Sanchez: In my team 11,2 in transfer market 11,4, would love a good answer to this, thx 🙂

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      The price they show in your team is the selling price you have for the player.

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

        why is the selling price lower?

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      In the team it's the selling price that's showing

    3. dhamphiir
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Every .2 rise you will get .1 when you are selling that player

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        You only keep half the price rise after buying.
        e.g. buy at 11 & rises to 11.5. Selling value is 11.2 (rounded down)

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

          Ah, i got it, very good explained thx. 🙂 so im guessing its very smart to sell aguero now? since he will fall alot in value?

          1. MTPockets
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Up to you (for example you may want to better assess an option who hasn't played yet - eg. Ibra).
              But I've already sold him.

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

                Ok, thx for gr8 answers 🙂 can i see my transfer history anywhere?

                1. MTPockets
                    9 years, 4 months ago

                    'My team' tab - scroll down - 'view transfer history'.
                    If you mean prices, 'Transfer' tab - 'List View'

          Everyone seems convinced Costa is fine. Why?

          1. Forza Papac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            because he is

            1. I Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Nice reasoning.

            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            He looked fine coming off, game was more or less wrapped up.

            1. I Member
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              The game wasn't wrapped up. It was 2-1 and he asked to be substituted. Very unlike him.

                time wasting i think

          Aguero Walcott and Holebas to Costa, Sanchez and a 4.0 defender (-8) has to be done tonight due to prices

          1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            is the 4.0 defender nailed on?

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

          My team is:

          Heaton Pickford
          Fuchs Lovren Holebas Pieters Amat
          Sanchez Hazard Firmino Walcott Siggy

            • 9 Years

            between those options, Fer + KDB. KDB seems to get goals when aguero's out.

          Evening all, advice welcome......

          Janmaat, Pieters & Walcott

          To

          Cedric, Brunt and Sanchez for a -8.

          I could do Walcott to Sanchez without the hit but have the exact money to do these 3 before all rise this week.

          Other option is avoid the -8 and sell Capoue for a 4.3 at some point to free up money and stagger defensive moves....

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

            Just do the Sanchez move. Others are not worth a hit

            1. TLF
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Thanks for response, that makes sense tbh, cheers

              1. Hooky

                West Brom fixtures not great either

                1. TLF
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  9 years, 4 months ago

                  I'm thinking of them as long term moves though...west Brom do have some good fixtures amongst some tricky ones, these moves would leave me with 0 itb and the going team:

                  Heaton (Robo)

                  Alonso, Brunt, Cedric, Kone, Amat

                  Sanchez, Hazard, Firmino, Siggy, Capoue

                  Kane, Costa, Austin

        9. Whats the Mata?
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Pickford
          Walker Alonso Amat Holebas Evans
          Haz Walcott Capoue Siggy Firmino
          Kane Costa Wilson

          Kun to Costa done with my FT
          0FT 2.7itb
          Do i desperately need to get Sanchez in there?
          Was thinking Walker->Cedric and Wally-> Sanchez for a -8
          Should I do it?
          Thoughts appreciated 🙂

          1. timski8000
            • 15 Years

            Nope. Spurs defence are worth getting in not rid!

            1. Whats the Mata?
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years

          9 years, 4 months ago

          Current front 3:
          Aguero - Kane - Austin

          Is it worth looking at Ibra instead of Costa due to being near suspension?

          1. Team Cruel
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

            'being near suspension'

            Oh dear

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

            I wouldn't go into those fixtures without Costa tbh, but Ibra may ofc be an option as well

        13. Champione
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Wanted KDB as a diff next week, but do I have to bite the bullet and get Alexis for a hit?

          KDB + Gundogan > Alexis + benchfodder -4

          Tempting to risk going without Alexis but with his increasing ownership it's a huge risk

          Thank for somebody that suggest me for aguero & coutinho for kane & sanchez yesterday. Unfortunately didnt put armband on Sanchez. However still scored 83 with ibra & firmino to play. Cheers mate!

          Who to lose for a hit to bring in Sanchez, Firmino or Eriksen, or to keep both, seems like an impossible decision

          1. THE REAL RON ⚽
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Sell Eriksen? 😆

            1. Nomar
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              For Sanchez. One is going to score more points than the other.

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

                He has a history of inconsistency and has United up next. Sanchez in this form is next to impossible to resist.

          2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Don't sell eriksen

            • 12 Years

            I'm looking at losing Firmino but he plays West Ham next.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          9 years, 4 months ago

          Anichibe or keep Negredo on my wildcard?

          Want Alonso but really can't afford him and have a 3rd striker over £6.4m. Other alternative is cheaper defenders to go alongside Walker.

        19. Shultan
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          With cout injury & aguero ban, every man & his dog will now have sanchez/hazard/costa & kane

            • 16 Years

            This, but Kun owners who captained Sanchez will have wiped out the deficit this evening.

        20. aleksios

          Kun to Kane and Pedro to Hazard for -4?

          Who would you drop to get in Ake, allowing me to afford Sanchez?

          A) Evans
          B) Holebas

            Going to see how he does tomorrow, Ibra could be a tasty differential

          For next week: I'd like to fit Kane in. How?

          Heaton (Grant)
          Holebas Alonso Cedric (McAuley, Amat)
          Walcott Hazard Firmino Sanchez (Capoue)
          Defoe, Costa, Austin

          0.1ITB, 1FT, Don't mind takin' a -4 hit or so.

            Austin and Walcott would be the two I'd look at if you can afford to hang onto Defoe

            Lose Walcott and Austin?

          Switched my week long captain Sanchez to Kane last minute today, didn't think after the Tottenham game I'd end up disappointed about that!

            But you must be happy you have both in your squad. Must be a great gameweek.

              Yes to be fair it's been good so far, 76 points I think as I have Hazard and Costa too, firmino still to play tomorrow
