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.

    Foster (Elliot)
    Kolasinac, Stephens, Suttner (Lowe, Long)
    Alli, Mane, Mkhitaryan, Carroll (RLC)
    Kane, Lukaku, Chicharito

    1FT 0.4ITB
    So with Mane sidelined, Stephens at risk of rotation (and to be fair Southampton defence looking poor anyway) and Chica not scoring which would you say looks the best for next 3? Any thoughts much appreciated, thanks...

    A - Mane > Salah
    B - Mane & Stephens > Salah & Bavies -4
    C - Mane & Chica > Firmino & Pogba/D.Silva -4
    D - Mane & Suttner > Salah & Jones -4
    E - Mane & Chica & Stephens > Gross & Jesus & Bavies -8

    Worth getting Ayew for Willian. Or is that a knee jerk too far?

      I wouldn't

    2. Greenbackbøøg…

      Swansea Ayew is better value

    Mark is going to feel like he will have to justify himself in the Scoutcast when he really doesn't

    WC is for more than one GW

    1. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I have almost the same team as him without using WC

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

      I think he can just post his season rank finishes and nobody can say a word

    3. L S P
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      yeah, but you like to see a points boost the week you pull the trigger. Just like how you like to do well in GW1 even though you're setting up for more than that.

  5. F4L

    Countdown starts for next GW now. Lukaku captain over Kane?

      Not a chance. Everton will park a massive bus like last season. Swansea will try play football and bring a little bus but they wont hold out as well as Everton.

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

        Everton's bus seems leaky and will be running out of gas after Thursday though....

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years

          Can see a largely didn't crowd on the bus on Sunday compared to Thursday.

      Honest thoughts on my current team guys?

      Foster
      Alonso | Jones | Davies | Lowe
      Salah | Alli | Atsu
      Kane | Lukaku | Firmino

      Elliot | RLC | T. Carroll | Tuanzebe

      Thanks

        Nice. But atsu, Jones, rLc and tuanzebe are doubts to start long term...... Actually not very good tbh

        1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE FOR THE LAS…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Tuanzebe 3.9 (generic 4m fodder - 0.1 was needed!)

          RLC was injured but should be back, can easily be swapped to Chalobah.

          Jones is nailed in my view, especially with his performances.

          Atsu could be better, good fixture this week though.

        2. Jeremy Corbyn

        Atsu fine for starts. Rested after internationals.

    7. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      GK Foster Elliot
      DEF Alonso, Bavies, Cedric, Ward, , Jones
      MID Erikson, Mikhi, Richarlison, Mooy, Carroll
      FWD Chico, Morata, Lukaku

      Kane is coming in for Chico to do that I will sell alonso.

      For-4 I can do Alonso to Games and Chico to Kane
      For -8 Alonso to Lascelles, Richarlison to Choupo-Moting and Chico to Kane.

      The -8 is obviously safer.

      Would like to bring Salah in but only way to do that is to sell Erikson.

      So, the -4 or the -8?

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Close......-4

    8. mikey279

      6 years, 9 months ago

      RMWC team:

      Fabianski
      Davies - Kolasinac - Simpson - Naughton
      Eriksen - Mkhi -Hazard
      Firmino - Kane - Vardy

      Subs: Elliot, Chalobah, Carroll, Mbemba

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

        I think Elliot is better value than Fabs. Naughton is whack. Would try to find money for Vardy/Firm up to Jesus/Morata

    9. pol
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      current front 8:

      Eriksen Salah Willian Carrol atsu
      Kane lukaku Gabbi

      Would you do Willan> 6.0 mid (jese or ritchie) and gabbi > Vardy for -4? or keep till next week and do for free?

      1. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        I have the same problem, except I can already do it for free

    11. Make United Great Again

      6 years, 9 months ago

      Elliot
      Daniels Jones Bertrand
      Mhki Eriksen Richardlison Salah
      Firmino Morata Lukaku

      Foster, Carroll, Fernandez, Long.

      0.2 ITB.

      How would you get Kane into this side?

      1. The Orienteer - find me in …
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Wildcard.

      2. Concentration
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Personally I would ditch Lukaku and Bertrand

      3. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…

        Looks like you already done the wc

      4. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Salah Morata to Ramsey Kane

      5. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Richarlison to Atsu or Berty to 4.5 (Mee would work as you have Long)
        Lukaku to Kane

      For the Mounie owners, upgrading or going cheaper?

      1. FantasyFootballSprout
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Joselu could be a good shout at 5.5

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Don't fall for it.

      2. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Very tempted to WC and shoehorn a Kane Jesus Morata front 3...

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Interesting, could maybe get that for -4

          1. Ser Davos
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Could be worth tbh. Selling Lukaku before EVE, though?

            *squirms*

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              Yeah, see how midweek goes.

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Selling for Kane.

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Good shout

      4. Adams6
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I've got 2FT and Manè. Strongly considering;
        Manè and Mounie to either;

        Up to 7.3 (maybe Ramsey?) and Firmino

        OR

        Hazard and Hemed

        What do you think TM?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Rather the Firmino one.

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

          As a Rambo owner I wouldn't recommend

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

        What happened to Mounie??

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Palace made him look good.

    13. Bialystrzelec
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      2 FT / £15.4
      Foster / Elliot
      Kolasinac / Cedric / Mee / Dunk / Naughton
      DeBruyne / Mhkitaryan / Ritchie / Carroll / ?
      Kane / Jesus / ?

      A. Joselu & Alli
      B. Firmino & Richarlison
      C. Morata & Atsu
      D. Other

    15. Bob_the_builder
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Hegazi or Chica.Who is more likely to fall first ?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Probably both but don't base which one you sell on which one is going to fall in price first

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

        I think both are worth getting out. Especially if you've made money on Hegazi.

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

          Yes I have.Alot depends on if he startd next week.Having a WBA defender is a near necessity given the goals they score off set pieces

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

        Get Hegazi out first. At least chica should play.

      Foster
      Jones - Alonso - Bertrand - Trippier
      Ramsey - Pogba - Eriksen
      Kane - Chicarito - Lukaku

      Elliot - Carrol - RLC - Mbemba

      A) Chicarito & Ramsey > Choupo/Gross & Firmino
      B) Chicarito, Ramsey & Foster > Morata, Chalobah & Krul (-4)
      C) Chicarito & Ramsey > Siggy & Joselu

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

        too early for Siggy. A for me, if Firmino looks good in CL

      2. It’s a Knockaert

        Autosubs will raise it surely

        Unlikely. Would be a miracle.

      Two options:

      A) Start Elliott (STK) or Forster (cry)

      B) Bench one of:

      I) Atsu (STK)
      II) Brady (liv)
      III) Dunk (bou)
      IV) Yoshida (cry)

        Elliot IMO

        Yoshida probably not playing anyway, else Dunk I guess

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Was thinking to bench Brady, no?

            • 13 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            No, play Brady

              • 12 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              OK, thanks

            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Bench Brady then. This is much of a muchness but you never know with LIV defense

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

      Team for GW5 (-4)

      Elliot/Foster (haven't decided)
      Bavies Jones TAA
      Salah Eriksen Mkhi Ramsey
      (K)ane Lukaku Abraham

      Carroll Suttner Rosenior

      ... A lot of eggs in one basket

      Think I'm G2G. Sure Gabbiadini is a problem but there are no good replacements that would be worth a hit this GW, plus Palace are shite.

      Foster / Myhill
      Valencia Stephens Daniels / Suttner Hunemeier
      Eriksen Pogba Ramsey Ritchie / Carroll
      Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini

      0FT, 0.2 ITB

      Will be wildcarding after GW7 for the international break so the transfers made now will only be planned for the next 3 weeks. Already did Mane to Eriksen last night to catch an unlikely price rise.

      G2G?

      Am I right in Mounie having had a really poor game?
      Only looked over the stats, but it doesn't seem to good. Looking at perhaps getting Joselu for him.

        I'd blame the team more than him, not much service at all

      What is the purpose of bake off?
      Its like watching X factor without being able to hear it.
      You cant taste the cakes so how do you know who's any good?
