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.

      -8 with CL matches still to come? You are bold. What moves have you already made to arrive at that team?

      1. HNI

        Stephens+jrod+mikhi >>> Davies+ Gross + Kane

    How did Huddersfield score 3 in the first game?

    They look like they need a month to score 3 judging by the last 2 games and this

    A 4th clean sheet in a row for Huddersfield would be legendary

      It's mad. I avoided promoted teams this season as they always seem to start poorly defensively

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

      Yep.

  4. Team Cruel

    Cresswell essential with set pieces?

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

      Lol no

  5. banskt

    Huddersfield rather uninspiring. No intent going forward.

  6. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Wonder how many minutes Carroll has in the tank

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

      I give him 3 or 4 games before injury strikes

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

      Not many.

  7. Rainer

    Did David Wagner say why Mounie didn't start?

  8. VFORVANDETA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Has Mounie toched the ball yet?

    1. banskt
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yes. 2 times already.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Creswell essential

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

      He plays for West Ham...

  10. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    If West Ham keep a CS and win I reckon Cedric --> Cresswell eventually

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

      You are then too much in the past,
      man! CS today doesn't mean CS in the future. And it's Huddersfield, say no more.

  11. Lone Wolf FPL

    Trippier, Tadic > Cresswell, Antonio?

    Am at work but from the looks of my comments bar, it appears to be a close contest for total comments between this match and a free speech discussion on some other thread.

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

    I would pay ten pounds for a Lowe penalty goal.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years

  17. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    This game has been a good match for a 0-0 so far

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

    Creswell close

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

      Too close.

  19. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Davies > (C)resswell (-4)?

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

      Do it now

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Work out well when Bavis gets injured mid week.

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

    Mounie spotted

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

    Mounie injured. Going off??

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

      Wouldn't make a difference, hasn't done a thing on the pitch

        I love how you always cheer on your players...

  22. Karan14

    Chances of Leicester keeping a clean sheet away to Huds?

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

      Quite big

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

    Thats a red card, right?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, Mane's foot was very high.

  24. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Currently musing these options, need to get rid of Willian and have some money in the bank.

    Option 1

    Upgrade Willian to Hazard and downgrade Valencia to a 4.5

    Option 2

    Upgrade Willian to Salah and downgrade Daniels to a 4.5

    Thoughts?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Both good options. Perhaps a touch too early for Eden but at 10.5 he could be awesome and a great differential at this stage. 1, just!

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

      Prefer 1, United's fixture aren't great and Valencia very expensive, would like to see more of Hazard before getting him in though possibly

  25. MTPockets
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Slow on the news here but De Boer sacked after 4 games is ludicrous.

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

        Why he's shit

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

          Sacking a manager after 4 games when you've asked him to implement a system completely new to the players at the club is just daft, period.

        2. MTPockets
            6 years, 9 months ago

            What he had to start with, injuries, nobody really knows a new job after 4 weeks, change of style, upcoming fixtures, some bad luck.

      2. Fuchs Mane Kante
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Gol Gol Gol Gol Gol.

      3. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        The Pea scored yet.

          But was that a booking. Looked like an accidental collision. Or am I too hold and hankering for a time when you needed to be tough
