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.

    Antonio, u idiot, why do I even own you

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      only assist isn't enough

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        better than a blank 🙂

        1. FPL Puppy

    Damn.

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

    want to get Kun and Sterling in, but something tells me to be patient until they play the FA cup

  4. Hakuho FPL
    • 15 Years

    Ayew serious!

  5. Emp

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

      All that GW28 planning eh?

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They will find room for Snoddy- they paid a pretty penny just last month for him and he is one of the top free kick specialists in the premier league

  6. Spike ⚽️

    No assist because the ball hit 2 posts!

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Been given.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      FPL has assist.

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It was a joke TM

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

        Unclaimed assists are auctioned off to fund the mugs, T shirts etc.

  7. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    ayew the man to get, keeping my eye on him v chelsea. if he starts and does well he's coming in

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

      He should start next game now. In for Snodgrass probably.

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

      always a good player and he scores as well, did well for Swansea before and i think he will do well if he gets regular game time

  8. Duffo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So will that go down as an Antonio assist?

    1. Al Bundy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

    Ayew serious?

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

      no

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

        Oh, okay then.

  10. Point-one short
    • 9 Years

    Come on Holebas, time for some attacking points.

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

    antonio red incoming

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

      Or Bilic, he can't sit still.

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

    Antonio deserves eight points for that run.

  13. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bournemouth defenders have more baps than McCauley and Dawson??

  14. 1zverGGademN
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio to grab the winning goal C'MON MICHAIL!!!

  15. Black Panther
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Brunt would've have got the assist

    1. Black Panther
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't*

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

    37 (-4) with Eriksen, Alli, Mane, Allen, Kane to play any use?

    + possible added Brunt assist

  17. Hakuho FPL
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Total points thus far 44... average?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      44 here too

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who left.

      1. Hakuho FPL
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Firmino and Mane(c)

    3. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Very

    4. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Above average.

      1. Hakuho FPL

        thanks

    5. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years

      read somewhere it was 22 before the Watford game

    6. Typo

      48 here

    7. 1569Tippins

      44 here with 4 to play

  18. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How the hell is that an assist when it clearly wasn't a pass, it was pure luck. It's a joke if Brunt doesn't get an assist

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does or doesn't?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same as a GK save.

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

      If he hadn't hit the posts Ayew wouldn't have gotten the rebound.

    4. djpete
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Two posts, two players, what's the difference, Antonio wasn't even trying to get the ball to Ayew.

    5. soup natsi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Doesn't have to be pass to be assist

    6. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'll take both.

    7. Typo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You are an idiot

  19. Hect.OR 98th
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Feel I'm missing out without Brunt and McCauley. No controversy for my team.

  20. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    From all the grateful Holebas non-owners, thank you to Mr Ayew and Mr Antonio.

    IN: Aguero, King, OUT: Jesus, Alli -4

  23. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero
    Ibra
    Sterling
    Which two to bring in for a hit this week 27?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      DGW for K and S
      but Pep is a rotation specialist
      and Ibra has Bournemouth

  24. Pacer.

    Bilic' hair regenerating by 5% each time Antonio hits the post

    I've benched 30 goalkeeper points in the last 4 weeks, can I have a medal?

  26. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    All 3 my mids so far got the assist - Antonio, Siggy and Fraser.

    Unfortunately, Fraser is last on my bench with 8 pts and I will get Sigy with 5.

    Guys ... is a 5 - 2 - 3 formation allowed?

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You are so good.

      1. FPL Virgin

        • 9 Years

        That's what she said.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          When are you actually going to reveal your true identity ?

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            When they let me go on the scoutcast or let's talk FPL.

            1. George Sillett
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              There should be a campaign to achieve this goal.

    2. FPL Virgin

      Oh, I love this game!!!!! 😀

      Choosing your starting 11

      From your 15 player squad, select 11 players by the Gameweek deadline to form your team.

      All your points for the Gameweek will be scored by these 11 players, however if one or more doesn't play they may be automatically substituted.

      Your team can play in any formation providing that 1 goalkeeper, at least 3 defenders and at least 1 forward are selected at all times.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        So yes???

              Huh...I always thought there was a minimum 3 mids too...obviously not.

    6. FPL Virgin

      • 9 Years

      Thanks all. It looks like Maguire's 4 points are autosubbing off the bench instead of DeRoon's 2!

    Kane/Eriksen > Kun/Sterling for free ?

    1. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      makes sense to ask that before kane and eriksen play

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

        Does it really matter ? I don't want to lose Lukaku or Ibra, other mids as well. It's the case of having 2 City players for free (and play 5-6 in GW28) or not.
