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.

    A) Hunemeier to Davies -4 and play 433(bench Tadic)
    B) Tadic to Salah -4 (343)
    C) No hits and give Tadic final game

      1. zotter
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years

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

    Benched zanka but a cleanie will give me a .1 profit on him but hudd defence owned by a few hmmm

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      If it's any consolation, what you are rooting for makes little difference.

  6. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Jenas on the BBC saying that Hernandez is on the wing. Is he?

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

      He is but he gets a lot inside the box and move around Carroll.

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

      Apparently

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

      Kind of

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

    K im going to play a game, WHam should score but they probably wont so fck this

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

    Hernandez -> Firmino -4 is tempting

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

      Not really.

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

      I dont actually rate Firmino tbh, too dependent where he plays. If he is false nine then great but there is too much competition up front. He will rotate, chop change positions. Vardy is the best bet imo in that bracket

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

        Would agree on Vardy. Will be getting him on my wc I think.

  9. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Bilic in the pic looks like he went 15 rounds with the ugly tree.

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

      Bit naughty of Mark to choose that photo out of all the ones available.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      TBF it's what most of us paid members look like when we check our ranks.

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

    Joselu or Abraham?

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

      Joselu

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

      Abraham

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

    Richarlison or Jese?

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

      Jese probably but there is other options

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

        Who's on your mind? I already have Ritchie in this price bracket.

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

          Probably Grob, Gross, whatever his name is? IDK its like picking a puppy and hoping you dont get the stupid one

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

            Love your comparison

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

      Hmmm not sold on either ATM

    I saw Charlie Daniels today and thought I'd make him aware of his FPL performances. Long story short, I'm posting this comment from a prison cell.

    1. Over Midwicket

      He whacked you across your cannister?

    2. Bunk Moreland

      Glad you got to keep your phone, that's a rarity.

    4. OldBenKenobi

      Not again!

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

      Welcome home.

  13. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Would you give Scott Dann one last game v Southampton?
    Soton aren't really scoring but Palace def probably the worst. De Boer gone so maybe manager effect?

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

      Yes. He is very attacking.

      1. Lyonnais
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I know but feels like owning Caulker in his QPR days 😀
        I've watched the game yesterday... wasn't easy as I played Mee and benched Dann...

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

      Yeah probably

      1. Lyonnais
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        thx!

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

      3 close range efforts I think last match

      1. Lyonnais
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        He's their #1 goal threat 😆

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

    Would you rather go heavy in midfield (likes of Eriksen or Salah) or attack (Morata)?

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

      Both

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

      Both viable imo

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      FPL is won and lost in the midfield.

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

      Eriksen

  15. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Thoughts on this UCL Fantasy team:

    K.Navas - Areola
    Glik - T.Silva - Ghoulam - Lenglet - Jorge
    Pogba - Pulisic - Salvio - B.Fernandes - Golovin
    CR7 - Neymar - Jonas

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

    Waiting for a train... Any suggestions?

    Elliott
    Bertrand - Dawson - Yoshida
    Eriksen - Salah - Ritchie - Knockaert
    Lukaku(c) - Jesus - Morata

    Fabianski - Naughton - Carroll - Long

    2FT 0.5itb

    The obvious to move out is Yoshida. Although he may have been rested last match since I presume he was playing in Japan over the international break.

    Still got wildcard etc. I've struggled making any transfers at all so far this season.

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

      The 9.45 to Euston.

        1. OldBenKenobi

          😉

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

        That's where you left from so I hope not.

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

          Where I left from....

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

      Whether he was rested or not, I still don't think you want double Saints defence anymore. If you can't rely on them for games when you'd want to play them (WHM, WAT), you need to get rid.

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

        Yep would agree. Nothing else stands out so will go for it. If I had 1FT might have kept him.

  17. Over Midwicket

    Will Mane fall tonight despite being red flagged?

  18. zotter

    6 years, 9 months ago

    On a wc

    A. Lukaku. morata. Eriksen
    B. Kane. morata. Mkhi
    C. Kane. Lukaku. Cesc

    1. FPL Bargain

      B

    2. Neevesy

      B out of those. Would want Kane n Kaku just not sure on fab.

    West Ham fans... when Arnie and Lanzini are fit, does Antonio drop out/suffer rotation?

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

      Arnie?

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

        Anuta....too hard to spell

      2. Fred54

        Arnautović

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA

        Arnautovic

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

      Antonio one of WH best players

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

      No way Antonio drops out. He could be used as a striker or a wing back though

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

        Good point! I forgot about the wingback days!! He is a little injury prone though right?

  20. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Anyone watching the game?

    Has Ince looked like a threat?

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

      No one from huddersfield has

      1. Too Mane Men
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Cracking. See you later Ince.

  21. Sims
    • 7 Years

    Antonio isn't going to score if he can't shoot the ball, sell

  22. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Can anybody think of a good pundit for the BBC? I think they're all shite. How Savage has a job there I will never know.

  23. mikey279

    RMWC team:

    Fabianski

    Firmino Kaku Vardy

    Subs: Elliot, LYP, Chavez, Mbemba

    1. Neevesy

    Hernandez close

  25. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years

    Why is Chicharito being played on the wing? Has Bilic lost the plot?

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

      How else do you play him and Carroll together

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

        442 diamond/ 3-5-2 with wing backs

      2. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years

  26. Over Midwicket

    Chicharito -100PPI for that miss

  27. Jairzinho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    With Lichtsteiner not in Juventus' Champions League squad, is De Sciglio the likely first choice right back?

  28. FPL ZB

    Gross Atsu and Carroll as third fourth fifth mids too light? Would have five heavy hitters around them

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If you only have to play 1 per week yes
