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.

    Carroll just 5.9.

    Third striker enabler?

      Even if they give me a free transfer, 6 mil itb and a 4th forward spot i'd not consider him.

    Mounie was a mistake. Accept and move on, right?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA

      Yes

    2. VFORVANDETA

      Yup

    3. Homer21

        Even if he scores, I doesn't like way he plays. I am not talking about the last 30 mins, but the last 210 mins.

    My god Antonio is fast

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      Zoooooooooooooooom

  6. gunner 2727

    6 years, 9 months ago

    This is why the bonus point system confuses the hell out of me and many others. Antonio sprints down the right, completes his dribble (+1), key pass to Hernandez (+ 1), creates a big chance (+3) and completes a cross (+1), plays 1-60 mins (+3). So that's 9, for sake of argument take two off if can't have all of them. He's not even listed with lowest west ham player on 3!!!

    Anyone?

    1. VS10_
      • 8 Years

      It's a joke.

    2. Homer21

      Delay factor??

      1. gunner 2727
        • 8 Years

        20 minutes?! Plenty of time for creased to get to 9

  7. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Antonio looks rapid!!!

    1. VFORVANDETA

    I hope Hodgson doesn't ruin RLC potential

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Hodgson ruins everything

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…

        Hodgson will make Cabaye great again after he got Pardewed

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Anyone of that standard would look great in the Championship

      2. el polako
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Fulham & WBA fans would dissagre.
        He cocked up big time England job, and thats what people remember most but to be honest he can do a decent job at a club with no high expectations.

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

          he took Fulham to the europa league final, he lost but he took them to a final! And U should see how many finnish and swedish super cups he has xD

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

      I think Hodgson will do a good job at Palace. It's exactly the kind of team/level he thrives at, like Fulham and West Brom.

    Antonio is poor Mane's Man

    1. banskt

      or poor man's Mane.

    West Ham 0-0 Huddersfield
    It's a real joy to watch Huddersfield's Aaron Mooy. He's calm on the ball and always seems to find a team-mate, no matter how many players he has around him. The Australia international helps alleviate the pressure on his side's defence by moving the ball back into the West Ham half and keeping it there. The Terriers pass it about but no danger to Joe Hart's goal yet.

      You copied that straight from BBC

    2. Gaffers
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I agree, Aaron Mooy has been the best player on the park. He’s composed, strong in the tackle, dictating things. He’s the one player trying to get the ball down and make things happen for his team.

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Slaven all smiles at the moment. So far so good. Just need that goal.

        1. Gaffers

          This tickled me far more than it should have

    Antonio is class

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      That was some turn. Yeah it was class.

    2. GAMBIT
      • 9 Years

      Wouldn't call it class, would call it brute force!

      Looking like ones of those alright but if the hammers get one they might just hammer them.

    Bavies -> Cresswell it is!

  19. banskt

    Starting to think of avoiding all hits this week and just going Tadic to Antonio. Who needs Pool cover eh

    1. VFORVANDETA

    Antonio is a talented footballer fair play. Very good delivery, fast

  22. Catsandhats

    God, an abysmal Super Sunday followed by a fairly rubbish MNF followed by Bournemouth vs Brighton FNF urgh

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Beats the IB break at least.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        I think I preferred the IB to those two games yesterday

    What did Antonio do? I am about to transfer him out of draft team

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Very nice turn on the wing and also set Chica up on a plate - only for him to miss. Doing better than ok imo.

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      Star man. But no pts yet

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

    Big Andy must be every defenders worst nightmare to play against.

  27. Sims

    If mane's was a red card so was that

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

      YNWA!!

  28. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Both teams are clueless in the final third.

  29. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    I really really dislike Kouyate

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not looking the most skillful to say the least!!

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Wow he just had an awful mishit when in the box in space.

  30. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Antonio looking brilliant. Will score well.

    If West Ham play this system then Cresswell becomes an option. Will get forward and so far has been on all corners and free kicks. His deliveries haven't been great. But with Carroll, Collins, Fonte, Antonio, Kouyate etc to aim at he's going to get assists. Surely?

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

      He'll be a good pick when West Ham turn their fortunes around

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Lanzini surely will take some of the set pieces

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

        Ahhhh yes that's it. Good point. Was wondering who they were missing!

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Creswell has been on corners and free kicks?
