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.

    Do we think Danilo will play this week?

    1. Rainer
      9 years, 1 month ago

      See how CL game goes and Kompany's fitness.

    2. Jollyswagman
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, unless Kompany is back and Pep plays Walker vs Feyenoord AND Watford.

    3. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think so. Expecting City to play 4 at the back against weaker teams, which means Danilo drops out regardless of Kompany.

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on Kompany and what happens in Rotterdam

    7 times have my players hit the post this season, and that's before KdB and Pogba have gotten started.

    Gabbiadini owners what we should do?

    2. TheTwelfthMan

      not a Gabbiadini owner, but bin.

    3. Sánchez
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Invent a time machine and go back to just before gw1, then kick your own nuts for thinking about getting Gabbiadini

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan

        Hahahahahaha

      2. Old Wulfrunian

        there are far more interesting things to do with a time machine.

          Good chance gabbi doesnt start v palace

          I'm getting rid - prob for that big guy with the pony tail who plays for West ham....

            Actually my transfer was Gross but i captained Gabb!

  5. White Hart Kane

    Firmino or Vardy in for Chic? Already have Salah

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Vardy

    2. true_Jerry

      just got vardy in

  6. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

    Why did Lowe go off?

    Not complaining, banked the CS points - just curious

    1. VS10_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shaky performance. He has been one of their best players in the first three and Malone didn't do much either so wouldn't worry too much.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ta muchly

    2. Foozeball

      The man, the myth, the legend, Scott Malone entered the fray.

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        9 years, 1 month ago

        As long as the man, the myth, the legend Scott Malone keeps entering the fray after 60 mins but before Huddersfield concede that's fine with me!

  7. Atimis
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty lost now with Chica blank.
    Would use your opinions:

    A) Miki, Salah, Kaku, Chica
    B) Miki, Pogba, Morata, Firmino -4 +1.5ITB
    C) Miki, 8.4 mid, Kaku, Firmino

    Currently have Mane Miki Eriksen Kane Kaku Chica

  9. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you think will be the 3 starting Stoke centre halves? I'm thinking, in order, Shawcross, Zouma, Wimmer with Martins Indi on the bench

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wimmer - Shawcross - Zouma.

  10. the snazzy viking
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Repost - got no replies last time :/

    Think I'm G2G. Sure Gabbiadini is a problem but there are no good replacements that would be worth a hit this GW, plus Palace are shite.

    Foster / Myhill
    Valencia Stephens Daniels / Suttner Hunemeier
    Eriksen Pogba Ramsey Ritchie / Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini

    0FT, 0.2 ITB

    Will be wildcarding after GW7 for the international break so the transfers made now will only be planned for the next 3 weeks. Already did Mane to Eriksen last night to catch an unlikely price rise.

    G2G?

    1. F4L
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yah, GTG

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth taking a hit

    3. the snazzy viking
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers both!

  11. FPL Bargain
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo thanks?

    A) Morata and Chupa=Moting
    B) Vardy and Ramsey

  12. Bushido
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mane on -99.7, that price drop is going to happen tonight.

    1. F4L
      9 years, 1 month ago

      wont affect many

    2. VS10_

  13. BlzE_94
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you play next week? (Pick one from each option please)

    A) Naughton or Zanka

    B) Carroll or RLC

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Zanka, RLC if fit

  14. @fpl_phenom

    DDG
    Kola Dawson Davies Naughton
    Mooy Eriksen Salah Mhki Carroll

  15. Jeremy Corbyn

    Vardy or Firmino?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Firmino. But I am going Kane Firmino Vardy

    2. Astronautovic
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Get them both maybe

  16. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Own Forster (but playing Elliott this week). Best move here?

    A) Danilo -> Bavies (play Yoshida)
    B) Yoshida -> Bavies (play Danilo)

    1. Big Sum

      B

    2. @fpl_phenom

      B

  17. That Was Easy!
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just putting out a feeler as we get closer to our WC's (if you haven't used already):

    What order do you prefer the following big hitters from most preferable to least?

    For me it's: Kane, Lukaku, Morata, Jesus/Kun, Lacazette.

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same as you

    2. Numb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane
      Lukaku
      Not sure I can fit in a third big one as no decent cheap mids

    3. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably that order, yes.

      Where does Firminio fit in?

      1. That Was Easy!
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I was looking at the 10+ guys, but for me Firmino/Vardy probably slot in front of Lacazette.

    4. Big Sum
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kane, Jesus, Lacazette, Morata, Kukaku, Kun

    5. Respect My Authoritah
      9 years, 1 month ago

      same. firmino in there ahead of morata

    6. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lacazette is not a big hitter. Yet.

  18. @Bryan
    9 years, 1 month ago

    As an Andre Ayew owner, I didn't watch the match but see he nabbed a few points from coming off the bench. Any reason why he was dropped today? I thought he would be an important player for West Ham?

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Someone had to make way for Big Andy and it's never Ant

    2. Tommy J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Underwhelming-got a bit lucky on the goal, deflection straight to him from a corner, just had to poke it in from 4 yards. I'd avoid....

      1. @Bryan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't bring him in to be sure if he is not guaranteed a start. I just thought he is a good player in general and a good fpl option.

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He is an outstanding player. One of our best, when played in position ...

    3. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bilic has failed to grasp the importance of the left-footed player.

      Tbf, most West Ham fans are the same.

      1. @Bryan
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Was very impressive at Swansea and thought I heard he did well at end of last season. Often looked good to me on the eye test when I watch him.

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah. And we let our second two-footed player go, in the break ... 🙂

          1. @Bryan
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough, thanks! I really like him as a 7m option, would be a shame if West Ham wasted him. Would've fancied him at Liverpool tbh as a winger/inside forward for the money he went for.

  19. Sims
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would u wildcard this lot?

    Hennesey speroni (don't ask)

    Alonso Dawson zanka naughton 4m

    Mane pogba mkhi atsu carrol

    Kane lukaku mounie (1.5 itb)

    Don't like mounie, atsu mkhi, mane,keepers, Dawson

    1. F4L
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly. Replacements for Mounie Atsu and Mane would be hard to find with the available budget

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't like mkhi? Gone off him already?

      Think Atsu was only benched because of IB

      1. Sims
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Now you're gonna defend mounie too go on

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Nope - assuming you knee jerked him in after Palace

          1. Sims
            9 years, 1 month ago

            no ive had him from the beginning

    3. Taking the Mkhitaryan

      Hit it

    4. Numb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Without question

  20. Demel
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Jones - Alonso - Bertrand - Trippier
    Ramsey - Pogba - Eriksen
    Kane - Chicarito - Lukaku

    Elliot - Carrol - RLC - Mbemba

    A) Chicarito & Ramsey > Choupo/Gross & Firmino
    B) Chicarito, Ramsey & Foster > Morata, Chalobah & Krul (-4)
    C) Chicarito & Lukaku > Morata & Firmino

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Difficult. Not B

      1. Demel
        9 years, 1 month ago

        C is really tempting me.

  21. nanicollas
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster/Elliot
    Yoshida, Alonso, Lowe, Bavies, Hegazi
    Alli, Eriksen, Pogba, Mkhi, Richarlison
    Lukaku, Chicharito, Quaner

    1 FT and I'm considering take a hit to make something. Any suggestion?

  22. Gazpilicueta
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso Ritchie and Firmino

    out for

    Ben Davis, GroB and Jesus

    for a -4

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No

  23. EmreCan Hustle
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why do PL keep matches on Monday and Friday on weeks where there's CL?

    I know West Ham and Bournemouth have their fan followings in the UK. But surely 7:30pm kick off on weekdays should have quality teams featuring?

    More revenue in it. Right?

    1. Rainer
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Its all about TV money.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I am from India. I only watched because I was scouting Antonio 🙂

        But if it were a top 6 club many PL followers would tune in even at 12:30am. So more TV money in it right?

    2. Numb
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Every team has to be in TV a certain number of times so they get the crap ones out of the way now

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Same question as above.

        I am from India. I only watched because I was scouting Antonio

      2. EmreCan Hustle
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry.

          Why isn't the whole thing showing??

    3. lespaul
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Eh?

  24. Tornado
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gross or doucoure?

    1. Demel
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gross is a better option imo.

    2. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gross for sure imo. Great stats in previous years, and should do well even if Brighton aren't the most attacking side.

  25. HD7
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino or Vardy to pair with Kaku and Kane? (No Pool cover)

    Firmino - has Europe and plays on the wing next weekend probably

    Vardy - nailed and without Europe, nice fixtures

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Longer term? Probably Vardy

    2. Astronautovic
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would risk vardy
      But pool has always goals in them

      1. HD7
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agree but Vardy is the focal point

        1. Astronautovic
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yes true

  26. MR Penquin
    9 years, 1 month ago

    brunt & blind did not play

    Do we have a list of owned players that people say above 5% that did not play ?

  27. F4L
    9 years, 1 month ago

    3rd strikers again causing many problems. Bobby F, the saviour

    1. Rainer

    Lookimg for a gabbi replacement for a max of 6.8......any views on....

    A....abraham 5.5

    B...wood...6.5

    3. Demel

      All a bit meh. Joselu for me.

      1. Flynny

        Already got Ritchie..
        So no joselu

    4. the snazzy viking
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't sell him; don't want him to drop in price 🙁

  29. Dynamic Duos
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Silva or Ramsey out for Moting?

    1. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No. I don't get this bandwagon, is he proven at all?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It is a enable and I was looking to get him before the Utd game so me not bandwagon just a game late

        1. dush64
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          9 years, 1 month ago

          OK, fair enough. Just surprised he's everywhere now. Seems to have solid stats in Bundesliga too so seems like a sensible punt. I'd ship Silva - great player but very much an "assist the assister" type, and I'd want more from him at that price.

  30. dush64
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Kane and Groß in for Chicharito and Eriksen (-4)?
    Or something else?

    Current team:
    Foster Elliot
    Alonso Jones Hegazi Naughton Mbemba
    Eriksen Mkhi Salah Redmond Carroll
    Lukaku Morata Chicha

    1. Dynamic Duos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You prefer Gross over Moting why?

      1. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Great stats in bundesliga - was on my watchlist in pre season and now he looks a bit more solid.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          9 years, 1 month ago

          His stars are worse

          1. Dynamic Duos
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Stats

    2. Jollyswagman
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku > Kane and Redmond > Gross

      Eriksen/Alli - Kane (C) feels like a must for next GW.

    3. BananaNose Maldonado
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd much rather lose Salah than Eriksen. Maybe Salah to Atsu instead of Eriksen to Gross.
