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.

    3. Jeremy Corbyn

      Vardy or Firmino?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Firmino. But I am going Kane Firmino Vardy

      2. Astronautovic
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Get them both maybe

    4. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

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

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

      1. Big Sum

      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
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Same as you

      2. Numb
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months 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
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Probably that order, yes.

        Where does Firminio fit in?

        1. That Was Easy!
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

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

      4. Big Sum
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Kane, Jesus, Lacazette, Morata, Kukaku, Kun

      5. Respect My Authoritah
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        same. firmino in there ahead of morata

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Lacazette is not a big hitter. Yet.

    6. @Bryan
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

      2. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months 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
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months 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 - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

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

      3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

        Tbf, most West Ham fans are the same.

        1. @Bryan
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months 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 - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

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

            1. @Bryan
              • 16 Years
              8 years, 3 months 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.

    7. Sims

      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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

      2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Don't like mkhi? Gone off him already?

        Think Atsu was only benched because of IB

        1. Sims
          • 9 Years

          Now you're gonna defend mounie too go on

            • 8 Years

            Nope - assuming you knee jerked him in after Palace

            1. Sims
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              no ive had him from the beginning

      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
        • 8 Years

        Difficult. Not B

        1. Demel
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          C is really tempting me.

    9. nanicollas
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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?

    10. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Alonso Ritchie and Firmino

      out for

      Ben Davis, GroB and Jesus

      for a -4

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        No

    11. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Its all about TV money.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months 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
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months 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
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Same question as above.

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

        2. EmreCan Hustle
          • 13 Years

          Sorry.

        Eh?

    12. Tornado
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Gross or doucoure?

      1. Demel
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Gross is a better option imo.

      2. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

    13. HD7
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Longer term? Probably Vardy

        • Astronautovic
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I would risk vardy
          But pool has always goals in them

          1. HD7
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Agree but Vardy is the focal point

            1. Astronautovic
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Yes true

      2. MR Penquin
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        brunt & blind did not play

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

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

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

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

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 3 months 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.

      6. dush64
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months 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

          You prefer Gross over Moting why?

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

          Lukaku > Kane and Redmond > Gross

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

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

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

        4. the snazzy viking
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Forget Kane, especially if you have to lose Salah or Eriksen for him. Just do Chicharito to Wood I think

          Chica to Abraham is a downgrade and Kolasinac faces Chelsea away. I'd hold.

            we don't talk about the defence 😛 Would be Bertrand Cedric Maguire

            still have him. Ditching Firmino is the only way to get Kane sadly. Tough decisions ahead....

          Personally would revert to a 3 man attack and a 4 man midfield by downgrading Mkhi to Carroll, Bertrand to Cedric and upgrading your 4.5 bench fodder striker to Firmino

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            or actually you could even get Vardy as a differential; good fixtures

        Too early to sack De Boer imo. CP should've scored with the chances they had. Don't think Hodgson is the right appointment and I could see them getting relegated at this rate

          If I was a Palace fan I would be furious with getting Hodgson as a manager. Should have stuck with De Boer

        So I am thinking of pulling the trigger (price rises means I need to do it tonight)..

        Chicarito & Lukaku > Morata & Firmino

        2 free transfers

        Good to pull the trigger?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          ditching Lukaku would be a mistake imo

            I woudn't with CL games, but that's the gamble.

            Ofcourse not. What if someone get injured in Euro games?

          VVD played 90' tonight but Saints U23s lost 4-0 to Villa.

          Might be hope for YoStephens owners yet 😉

          I reckon Huddersfield will be this season's Burnley. Avoid their attack and get the defenders/keeper for home games.

              Interesting. I think the Southampton boys need to be addressed first IMO

                • 14 Years

                Swap him for Jones as well.

              RLC won't be starting under Woy. Better to get Chalobah.

                Is Woy definitely taking over?

                  I work together with Brede Hangeland. He seemed confident. Good for Palace in that case. Back to basics.

          Any other Mbemba owners hoping he will start next week guys? Who thinks he has a good chance?
