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

    And it might be a dumb question, but is Costa still going to rise with 144.5, even though flagged?

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

      I think he should.

      yes

      yes, yellow flag doesn't effect price changes

    Kane, Costa & ?

    Benteke? Defoe? Austin? Iheanacho?

    Three week punt obviously. I'm tempted by the last one. Two ten pointers when Kun was absent during GW 4 & 5.

    Yeah?

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

      Sounds okay, Iheanacho is highly clinical when he plays , still yet to see another young player in the league who scores that many for the minutes they play.

  3. Whats the Mata?

    Kun - Kane
    Wally - Sanchez
    Walker - Cedric(to fund the Sanchez transfer)
    For a -8
    Yay or Nay??? 🙁

    Conte says Costa is not injured, but came off because he was very tired. "I think and hope he can recover for the next game."

      Alan Shearer was pretty cocky when he said Players are hardly fully fit most of the games they play but there might be some truth to that.
      With Costa's form , I don't think conte would bench him in the fear of disrupting it .

  5. PvA

    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez due a blank surely?

    3 double digit hauls can't be right can it?

  6. Dan United

    Playing WC, what do people think of the below?

    1. Team Cruel

      Soton defender even though they had a shocker

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years

      The WBA Dawson is on 4 yellows.

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

        He means the Hull Dawson. The one who costs 4.4

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

      Chambers or Nyom?

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

  11. Lav

    Got 1 FT left, already did Aguero to Costa. Should I just go Lukaku to Kane now? Would leave me with 0.8m and I have Sanchez Firmino Hazard already.

  12. Henning
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with my mid? Hazard. Allen. Gundogan. Firmino. Phillips. 3,8 m in The bank want to get Sanchez in there but dont know how. Help me

    Why are VVD and Cedric on course to rise tonight after conceding 3 to Palace?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It was a freak game. They are usually solid

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

        ^This. And I'd say, they were reasonably solid. Forster's pair of awful mistakes cost them the match.

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

      Its one game, they have been solid recently and reliable at home. Cedric great value.

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

    Just decided that I will never get a premium defender and will roll with an attack of:
    Eriksen-Hazard-Sanchez-Firmino-De Roon; Kane-Costa-Austin

  16. TotalJustice
    • 11 Years

    Thank god I kept believing in sanchez and didnt drop him 2 weeks earlier for Haz

  17. Je suis le chat

    46 points from Alexis saved my ass, would almost make one religious!

  18. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero suspended

    Coutinho injured

    Lukaku out of form

    Those that were template a month or so ago seems to be fading away alarmingly now.

    Enter Costa Kane and Siggy 😉

  25. Ibracadabra

    Pressing the button...

    Aguero + Phillips -> Iheanacho + Sanchez.

    - 4.

    1. Smoky Johnson
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How much do you reckon Iheanacho will play during Agueros absence?

      1. Ibracadabra
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I am not sure if Aguero will automatically get a 4-match ban or if it will only be 3. He has a red card already this season. If it's 4 - then Iheanacho gets the Hull game, which is HUGE. Does anyone know this? I think he should start and play most games unless Nolito or Sterling go in the middle or De Bruyne as a false 9. Gives him one last shot to prove himself before Gabriel Jesus arrives in January.

        1. Smoky Johnson

    Allen + Aguero >>> Sanchez + Defoe + 1.5 for -4?

  27. TotalJustice

    Is it Ok to do Wally > Haz and Kun > costa for -4 tonight ??

    1. TotalJustice

      or Wally > Haz and Kun > costa and Friend > cedric/Alonso for -8 ??

    When Costa's flag gets removed will that reset his price or is it just red (0%) flags?
