Gameweek 26 rolls on with an “unfashionable” evening encounter that pairs Watford with West Ham at Vicarage Road.

From a Fantasy perspective, this serves as a scouting mission of the Hammers assets ahead of potential investment for the Gameweek 28 blanks.

Slaven Bilic’s side are just one of eight teams that are currently guaranteed to play over that weekend and, as such, are elevated in our thinking ahead of this encounter.

Andy Carroll is again an absentee as he continues to struggle with a groin complaint, leaving Michail Antonio to lead the attack for the visitors. He’ll be under the microscope, along with Robert Snodgrass who tucks into the number 10 role against the Hornets.

For the home side, Fantasy interest is limited given their forthcoming blank, although promising fixtures to follow has us monitoring the continued form of Troy Deeney and M’Baye Niang.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Who is "must have" have for GW27 then?

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think msybe Aguero

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun

      No one else imo

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ibra?

      2. More Cowbell
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Worth a hit to get in?

    3. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling is the form man

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        this

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      there is this guy called aguero, apparently he is pretty good

  2. FPL Puppy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Snoddy off

  3. FFPro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Total Auto Subs : 14
    Total Auto Subs Points : 20

    This gw I'm getting Pieters 2nd off bench due to Phillips and Carroll no show...last gw was Brunts infamous 0pter

    Extremely frustrating

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I always try to have a good bench in case needed. It looked like it had paid off this week - an unexpected no-show from Phillips but I had an in-form striker ready to step in.

      That went well then. 🙂

      1. FFPro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Barnes... I'm sorry. I doubt anyone can top 20pts from 14autosubs this season though

        This is quite painful seeing all these poorly defended crosses, Carroll would be having an absolute field day

      2. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Missed today's games. Is Barnes out for 3 or 1 match? Was planning getting him as an enabler.

        Unlucky, btw

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Antonio assist for ya!

        2. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Just the one, two bookings. Could have easily been a straight red though apparently.

          In fact him getting a yellow earlier may have saved our bacon.

          1. RoysCallerAnne
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers Fred

      3. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Got Barnes as well. The first time I actually need him and he gets sent off.

  4. rakdaddy

    Anybody confident enough in city going thru to next round fra cup and doing transfer early to avoid potential increase in price?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I have to if I want to lose kaku for kun.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kaku going up tonight

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If they did fail, they play in GW27 and GW28. Obviously changes the dynamic of a DGW, but they still have fixtures.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point

    3. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I doubt there will be any mcy increases until wednesday

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Want to see who plays/injury risk wednesday.

    5. Differentiator

      My week gets worse.

      Planning for blanks this year has been a nightmare

    6. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A) Phillips / Stan -> Sterling
      B) Lukaku -> Kun

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        A

    7. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Surprised they took Snoddy off, he looked a threat.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        needs big andy on the end of his delivery, otherwise pretty useless

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          True, does make a difference

    8. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was going to do Snodgrass to Pedro, but was talked out of it

      Bums!

    9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years

      lol antonio

      1. More Cowbell
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What's he done?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          missed from 4 yards

    10. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio very close, not sure how he missed.

    11. Jay_
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ahhh Antonio 🙁 Gotta score!

      • Fabregasm
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Which sub will be the best along with Kane --> Aguero for a -4 hit?
        A) Alonso --> Stones
        B) Hazard --> Sterling
        I'll lose 0,3 in value in both options, but it's not a problem

        1. MR SUNSHINE
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Hazard I would say. Definitely not A

      • EWH2020
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What a waste of time Snoddy has been

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Could have had a couple of goals today

      • Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What to do here regarding gw28 and city dgw?
        Foster Pickford
        Alonso Baines brunt chambers Amat
        Hazard mane Alli eriksen siggy
        Costa Lukaku dio
        A) Alli + Lukaku > King + Kun
        B) Haz + Lukaku > pedro + kun
        C) something else involving kun

      • Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Would anyone do Alli > Mane 1FT?

        Already own Kane

      • FCSB
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        GW27 draft:

        Jaku
        Alonso McAuley Brunt
        Hazard Sigurdsson Snodgrass Eriksen
        Costa Kane Lukaku

        Heaton Davies Friend Amat

        1 FT, 1.6m ITB

        Where should my focus be, what changes should I make??

        Thanks
