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.

      Happy with that having dipped below 100m last week. 😆

      SV is probably more important than TV right now.

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

        Depends on the player, not planning on selling Eriksen or Davies any time soon

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Fair enough, but the money is no good unless you cash in. It is significant at a time when many are making wholesale changes and you are staying put since it will show a cost to buy a team as similar as yours.

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

            True but ignore they want to buy a team that's similar to mine including Eriksen and Davies (for example) the rest of the team will have to be 0.2 mil cheaper than the rest of mine

    Half time help... which option experts? It's close for me.

      Dont think there's a right answer to that one. Both sound

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years

        With a gun to your head? 🙂

  9. Another Hoops
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone playing Champs League FF, what do you think of this team?

    Areola - Patricio
    Davies - Gomez- Sokratis - Luis - Marcano
    Gotze - Pogba - Modric - Lemar - Asensio
    Jesus - Ronaldo - Mbappe

    Honestly I'm not keen on Patricio but can't see any better options at 5mil unless I downgrade elsewhere...

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

      maybe Isco instead of Modric if you have the cash

  10. EmreCan Hustle

    Hudd are so bad.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years

      Bad boys for CS yeah.

      1. EmreCan Hustle

        Makes me sad. I thought Mooy would solve all my 4th mid problems.

    YELLOW CARD
    West Ham 0-0 Huddersfield

    "A rare Huddersfield attack ends with Philip Billing catching Pablo Zabaleta with a stray elbow as the two challenge for the ball. There was no malice in it, but Kevin Friend shows the Huddersfield midfielder a yellow card."

  13. Sims

    At least I had Mounie for week 1.

    Gotta feel for those who got him after that, he makes Danny graham look explosive

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      Got rid of him on WC, not looking back, in my mind he was gone the second I watched him live

  14. Zlat-man
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts about this wc team

    Fabianski, Elliot;

    Alonso, Kolasinac, Bdavies, Robertson, Mbemba;

    Hazard, Alli, Pogba, Ritchie, Carrol;

    Kane, Firminho, Quaner;

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

      Robertson?

      1. Zlat-man
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yep. Taking a chance there

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Robertson will be rotated all season as in babies when rose fit surely. Kola not so far nailed either.

  15. FALCAO & MOU
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Chica + Antonio not doing me any good, although Antonio is looking very good.

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

      I'm toying with getting one anove

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years

        Above*

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ants in my pants Antonio FTW

  16. Fanta sea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Been keeping an eye on Mooy. The guy hardly loses the ball. He's a great player to have in a team in my opinion and he'll only get better.

    Only problem with him is that he plays very deep and therefore I can't see him as a great fantasy prospect.

    Good player nonetheless.

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

      Probably score well at home

    2. ChelseaGuy

    Another intense premier league game. Bored senseless, turned it off, it ends 0-0 saved you all 45 minutes, go entertain the missus.

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years

      Hope you're right

    2. ChelseaGuy

      I don't have one! 🙁

    3. Fred54

      Left hand or right hand?

  18. Jafooli

    6 years, 9 months ago

    How did Shitarito look?

    Any chances?

    1. FALCAO & MOU
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nope, he looks lost till now, Carroll has ruined at least 5 chances.

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

      So so.

    3. KingNidge
      • 8 Years

      Hit the bar with one

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

      Hit the crossbar.

    5. DF
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Smashed the bar early on.

    6. West Hammered
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Hit the bar. Playing very deep though can't see him scoring many playing LW. But should move back to Striker when Lanzini and Arnoutovic are back..

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

        Any chance of that happening in the second half.

      No.

      Over Stephens yes, no brainer.

    On a totally different subject...
    I need to choose between Yedlin and Clark to replace Hegazi... That £4.4m is looking mighty tempting atm...

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

      Yedlin surely first choice?

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • 6 Years

      Get Lacelles. Was fantastic last game. Form.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Let's try that again...
        Good player, club captain but not nailed. Ideally need a wing back...

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

      Clark is more nailed! Yedlin & Manquillo might rotate

      1. G-Whizz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        That's my fear. Thanks Rafa may have to be him and hope for a threat from set pieces.

  25. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Alot of hype for Antonio but at 7.5 isn't he a tad expensive considering he plays for West Ham who are hardly a top ten side?

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Good point

    2. FALCAO & MOU
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I am starting to feel this way now. But he is great to watch, I must admit.

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I just need a Willian replacement and can't quite afford Siggy or Mkh.

  26. le flem
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Has Antonio looked dangerous at all?

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

      Yes

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

      Yes he did looked dangerous. Best West Ham attacker so far.
