Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Huddersfield

The Gameweek concludes at the London Stadium where West Ham are treated to their first home game of the campaign against Huddersfield Town.

At the start of the season, this appeared to be a fixture which would have seen us back the Hammers’ assets for returns. Three games in and the outlook is very different.

The Terriers turn up undefeated and with no goals conceded. That form has seen the likes of goalkeeper Jonas Lossl and defender Zanka pick up 8.4% and 10.4% ownership respectively. Meanwhile, playmaker Aaron Mooy is backed by 12.9% having produced a goal and an assist to this point.

But West Ham have the best-supported player on show tonight.

Chicharito is part of 1.4 million squads and is backed by 159,000+ (3.3%) with the captaincy.

Significantly, he’ll be supported by Andy Carroll in the West Ham attack, in what appears to be a 3-5-2 set-up deployed by the under pressure Slaven Bilic.

Joe Hart is the next best owned West Ham asset in action, although 71% of his 500,000 owners have chosen to bench him ahead of tonight’s clash.

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

    Good stuff by WHM. Love him or loathe him big Andy makes a difference.

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      he didnt do anything

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        He doesn't need to...he just needs to be a battler up front.

          so he is West Hams Fellaini then 😀

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Yes. Stick Fellaini up front in any game and he can change a game. It's not pretty but it works.

          Think they would be better off with Sakho or Ayew up front tbh. More mobile than Carroll, more physical than Hernandez.

      2. Del Griffiths
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        He did plenty. Strong, held the ball up. Was a threat.

    Ince is going top of goals imminent tonight

    What do you thinl to this WC with no Lukaka and risky Liv and Eve def?

    Elliot
    Alonso Kolasinac Jones Holgate TAA
    Eriksen Mikatarian Ramsey RLC T Carrol

  4. Dynamic Duos

    Ramsey and Chica to Moting and Vardy?

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I like Vardy. A few people have talked me out of Moting on here. 3 and 6 goals in prev seasons

    2. Nicoson
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes

  5. FPL ZB

    58 all out. Marginally above average after auto subs possibly

      lol, way above

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      that's quite a bit above average tbh

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      57 all out here

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years

        57 all out. Hart finally delivers

      Way above as mentioned. https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/

      Nice, 56 for me ..

  6. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    As an Antonio owner, I feel more bitter than I would have been as a Hernandez owner

  7. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Now you see the real Huddersfield tbh

  8. BlzE_94
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Choupo or Gross?

    1. Big Sum
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Choupo

    2. Yome
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I have the same question.
      Tempted by Choupo since Stoke are more attacking and a better team.
      But Gross has Bournemouth away next so a nice fixture

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      C

    4. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Choupo-Choo-Choo!!

  9. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Bad week..

    Have Danilo, Willian, Mane, Chicharito to shift, 1ft, 1m itb.

    A) Mane to someone, Coutinho maybe if he plays wed night, no hit, possible drops will only be previous increases and not lose any profit.
    B) Upto a - 8, follow the crowd a bit.
    C) WC, blindly follow the crowd.

    Foster (Elliott)
    Kolasinac - Jones - Danilo (Zanka, Long)
    Mane - Alli - Willian - Pogba (Carroll)
    Chicharito - Firmino - Lukaku

    This is what was expected of Huddersfield. Welcome to the Premier League.

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Honeymoon period over

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Was like watching a Pulis side. They'll survive

      1. Eton Rifles
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Injuries & suspensions to start biting soon. They won't.

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      still my favourites for relegation alongside Brighton

    4. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Up until that jammy goal they were more than holding their own

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yep, their attack is the worrying part. Defensively they're ok

    5. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I watched first half, they had zero threat. Not only that, but they also seemed a lot physically inferior to the WHU players.

  11. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Gross locked in as the official GW4 bandwagon!

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Who will it be next week?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Andros Townsend.

        1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          😆 good shout!

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      *Davies

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      Flavour of the week!

  12. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Give Mooy his last chance (LEI) or remove for a hit? 0,9 ITB

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn't remove him for a hit.

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      get a better defender and play him instead if you have to play mooy every week

    3. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      If you keep shuffling your cheap midfielders when they blank for two games you will waste an awful lot of transfers.

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years

      Season keeper!

  13. the vanisher
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Please choose (i have Kane):

    A. Salah - Jesus

    B. Alli - Firmino + 1.4itb

    C. Hazard - Firmino

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      B with Eriksen

      1. KAPO KANE

  14. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    So is it confirmed that its an obiang goal and not og?
    Zanka og would probably hurt a few. Obiang probably helps nobody

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Was a clear OG IMO but can see it staying as Obiang’s

  15. amsemp

    Only just realised Choupo Moting is £5.5m and listed as a midfielder. Seriously considering Brady > Choupo as my FT. What's everyone's thoughts on getting him in?

    A) too good to be true
    B) too much of a knee jerk

    1. Sliver
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Have the same thought.. was tempted. But b.

    2. danishdynamite
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Bringing him in a few weeks if he keeps looking good

      Bobbins fixtures for a few weeks though, so I'll hold fire

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

      B

    4. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      B

      He won't play against Man Utd every week

    5. Foozeball
      • 7 Years

      B

    6. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      3 goals last season. 6 the season before. Dont expect many more braces

    I still have my WC, for once, and had pencilled in the second int. break after GW7 to whip him out.

    I'm a bit stumped though - there doesn't seem to be a huge swing in fixture difficulty for anyone, other than Man City who have a tasty run

    Has anyone knocked together a decent GW8 WC draft, or decided that they'll keep it for whenever there comes a rainy day after GW8?

    1. LIARS POKER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Have you even looked at any fixtures?

      Everton, Chelsea, Leicester, Stoke...

      Might make it. Mainly depends on autosubs.

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      unlikely, but there's a small chance

  21. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
