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.

    Hi guys, would genuinely appreciate some help. What would you do with this team? I'm thinking Willian is the obvious target but at 7.0 not sure who to potentially swap him with...

    0 ITB / 1 FT
    Forster
    Daniels Yoshida Danilo
    Pogba Salah Mooy Willian
    Firmino Lukaku Kane
    Subs: Elliot Carroll Long Suttner

        That's what I'm edging towards.

    2. OldBenKenobi

      Yoshida, Danilo and Willian all rotation risks

        Cheers. Danilo, not rotated yet. Reckon Yoshi will come back into the team, but William only made a 27 mins cameo. Any suggestions?

    Hernandez finds himself in those lucky situations so often that it just can't be down to luck

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

      He's well renowned for the right place right time thing.

    2. Rainer

      His positioning is brilliant

    3. A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Positioning and eye for goal is insane. To the extent that it wouldn't worry me one bit if he plays LW with Caroll central.

    Good energy from WHU, if they can keep up this tempo 3points will stay in London.

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Aren't Crystal Palace from London?

      1. Bubz

        Fail

      2. Rainer

        You on the same stuff as Bilic in the pic?

        1. Bubz

    Everyone was saying FPL had done the prices well this season... they've done they terribly. 😆 Only players 8.0 and above in midfield and attack are worth owning.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think that’s the whole point.

      Good players cost more.

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

        It ruins the game, no one in the price range of 4.5 to 8.3 is worth having at all.

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          5 of the 10 highest scoring mids cost 6.0 or less.

        2. Bring the Cavalry
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          There were players at 8.0 worth having at the start of the season

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      They also got it wrong when they priced Alli, Mahrez and Vardy under 7.0 a couple seasons back.

      Works both ways.

    Hello guys. Who'd you prefer as Fraser replacement?

    Foster
    Davies, Stephens, Jones
    Willian, Eriksen, Mkhitaryan, Carroll
    Lukaku, Kane, Firmino

    Subs: Elliott --- Suttner, Fraser, Long --- 0.4 ITB, 1 FT

    Fraser to:
    A) Mooy
    B) Choupo-Moting

    at least when Roy takes over at Palace Benteke will have another string to his bow (corners)

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      That's music to the ears of a Benteke owner like myself.

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years

        shame he wont be in the box to head them in 🙂

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Haha exactly, I was just mocking myself for still having Benteke 😀

  27. Rainer

    Carroll close

  28. VFORVANDETA
    • 7 Years

    Caroll shoot.

  29. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years

    Joe Gomez or TAA?

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

      Neither.

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

        TAA

  30. Big P
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Carroll could be a great third striker enabling option at just 5.9m

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

      yes he would enable us to waste our free transfers on injuries

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He's always good value
      It's about his fitness
