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.

    1. Sess!

      Pint of vodka should do the trick

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

      They will be back for Blank week 28 and well rested

    3. Lawrø

      Brutal.

  6. tm245

    If I were a betting man I'd lay money on Bilic punching the fourth ref in the face.

  7. TorresMagic™

    2 yellows to Antonio for those not watching.

  8. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Antonio having one match ban only or what?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Bench against Chelsea was already intended before the red

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

    Only 1 game suspension right? And most would have benched vs Chelsea.

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

      and the -3 pts

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

        Cancel out the Brunt assist

  10. bojack

    Think I'm going for the Sané - Mané connection next week.

    Plus Agüero.

    I'm moist with anticipation.

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Moist. Great word.

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

      That jacket in the Watford stands.

    3. rakdaddy

      So if city blanks gw 28 i can field 8 players. Its that about average? Dont feel like stocking up on hull and swansea players just for week 28. Gonna take enough hits cleaning up the mess as it is

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

        8 is fine.
        wouldn't bust a gut over it.

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

      nearly holebas asisst

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

        Add that to his nearly CS, nearly not getting a yellow and nearly getting 3 baps.

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

      Hopefully his price drops nicely before gw28

      1. Sonic Huth
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Antonio's?

    6. We Will Klopp you
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping my heaton/Grant combo until double gameweeks, home fixtures and big games are when the magic happens for the heat.

      World #1 got Antonio this week.

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

        Yes I did

      2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Crumbling under the pressure

      3. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        As did many of us underlings

      4. Bring the Cavalry
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Did he not get him for a hit also?

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

          Enabler transfer.

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

        His lead is slowly evaporating.

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

      Antonio red card will drive up the price of Siggy / Sterling / Sane

      1. Fergies fledgling
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And Pedro

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

      Best source for price rises these days?

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

      Success is more of a load than Deeney.

    11. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Goodbye Antonio...Hello Sterling

    12. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio 2 points after an assist and a red phew

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

      Since when can Holebas defend

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

        that touch was pure class!

      2. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Since he visited the Barbers

    14. Sonic Huth
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And I was hoping for a Antonio winning goal..

      Btw What to do with Phillips?

      1. Mark-O
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Just keep not much of a choice in gw28

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

        Hold. That's what I'm doing. Need everyone I have for 28. Sticking with Antonio as well, he'll be back in 28.

        1. Mark-O
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          As much as I dislike Antonio for his lack of points but looking at gw28 is more important

          1. Sonic Huth
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Expecting only 2 in 28 from Antonio

      3. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe selling for Sterling instead of Alli.

          1. Mark-O
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Alli has a blank

            1. MTPockets
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Not next week though.

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

          Ibra or Costa from gw29?
          Leaning towards Costa
          Cheaper, no Europe, higher scoring team
          No penalties tho

          1. *sigh*
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yup although season over may cancel out no Europe soon if Chelsea keep winning

        • Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          2. MTPockets
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I liked it.

              • 14 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              It's a very good film. Better than Interstellar imo.

              1. Business Cat
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years

                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  I am not saying that I don't like Interstellar. It's a great movie.

            9 years, 1 month ago

            Have Jesus going down in price tonight, want to get in Kun and Sterling for -4, don't want to loose the .1 on Jesus before price fall, do it or wait and bring on Aguero and Sane instead?

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

              might as well
              its not like Jesus is playing in any scenario is it

              9 years, 1 month ago

              Best to wait until after FA cup replay if possible
