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.

    What happened to Zanka???

    1. Greenbackbøøg…

      ?

    2. Clintymints
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was on for top baps at around 70 mins and done ok until the goals started

      Shame

    3. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Picked up an early yellow, had the own goal deflected off of him.

    4. @chapellefpl OR 577TH

      You do realise Zanka and Joregenson are the same player?

        1. Ser Davos
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I didn't until tonight. Nearly had another Richarlison moment

  2. Clintymints
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Tempted by the old WC

    Came to this

    Foster
    Alonso / Jones / Kola / Bavies
    Erik / Mkhit / 3rd mid
    Morata / Kane / Firmino

    Now, that all looks smashing, right? Just gota add the 3rd mid to play whoever has the best fixture... The rest of the team is GroB, Mooy and Carroll. Still not THAT bad for the players it gives.

    Seems like the best compromise considering the mid price mids are grim but if gives you all of the best wingbacks and a nice Utd defence option

    1. Ser Davos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Mendy over Alonso and Elliot over Foster?

      1. Clintymints
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Foster/Ell is the keeper combo, but could save another .5 actually

        Never thought of that, but prob best to keep Foster

    Hi guys, I've written an article on the major talking points from this Gameweek's action in the FPL world. This part covers the Man City conundrum, Arsenal throwing up lucrative options, whether Kane can be avoided now or not and what to do with Southampton defenders. Do give it a read.

      I shall read this with my morning coffee tomorrow at 7.10am 🙂

        Hope I can make your morning coffee somewhat more interesting 🙂

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Foster (Elliott)
    Alonso, Jones, Hegazi (Mbemba, Long)
    Eriksen, Salah, Mkhi, Carroll (Cork) Kane, Lukaku, Chica

    Have 0,3itb and 2FT. Need to get Bavies and sell Chica.

    Which is the better options and why?
    A. Upgrade Chica, but must sell Alonso
    B. Downgrade Chica -> any suggestion strikers 5.5m and under?
    C. Make 3 transfer for a hit: Chica, Salah, Mbemba to Firmono, Bavies and max 6.0 mid.
    D. Others

    Thank you.

  5. some witty pun
    9 years, 1 month ago

    missed the game, why was Chicharito subbed?

    1. Netley Lucas
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Freshen things up

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He wasn't offering much out wide, though he hit the crossbar early on. Perhaps the right decision as Ayew scored and assisted.

  6. Totti
    9 years, 1 month ago

    is it an own goal for zanka?? !!!!!
    really don't understand fpl from this point of view

    1. Clintymints
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If the shot is deemed to be on target and gets a deflection it's not an OG, if a shot is going off target and gets a nick off a defender, it's an OG

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's not. Obiang goal.

  7. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What do I do with this lot, got 2FT and 0.4 ITB, cheers!

    Elliot, Foster
    Alonso, Bertrand, Daniels, Mee, Rangel
    Mane, Alli, Ritchie, Mikhi, Romeu
    Lukaku, Jesus, Moonie

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

      Team looks good. Mane needs to be moved. I'd do Mane to Eriksen and Bertrand to Davies.

  8. _figu

    9 years, 1 month ago

    69 pts, total 211. First green arrow! Playing 1st time and finally after a mont or so starting to get a feeling my plans and moves are making sense hehe. Most importantly, I've avoided all but Chicarito bandwagons (had JRod so that was pretty easy decision) and only hit I've took was to move Walker for Alonso.

    It's really not that hard of a game. I've played fantasy hockey for example so transition is somewhat easy. Didn't follow Premier League this closely for couple of years so did couple stupid mistakes with starting roster. Happens. Gather best information available (this forum, thx guys). Plan ahead and don't do anything impulsive.

    Tl;dr - Try to enjoy it, it's just a game after all.

      Get... in... the... sea.

    2. More Tragic

  9. La Roja
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why was Lowe subbed lads? Didn't watch the game

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

      He was tired running after Antonio.

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Antonio was running him ragged, looked tired so needed fresh legs after 60. Or perhaps Wagner wanted to bank his CS.

    3. Clintymints
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Was getting shafted every 3 mins

      Lucky cs

      1. La Roja

    Willian dropping in price?

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

      Unlikely. And if you bought him at 7.0 his price drop wont affect you

      1. PL Ball
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Excellent point. Cheers!

  11. Stimps
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Need city cover...

    Lukaku + Chica -> Jesus & Vardy for 2 FT?

    Already have Mhki & Jones for united cover, also have triple spurs

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

      I guess. That's a good way to move Chica. I'm kinda stuck with him for the next 3 weeks and don't really love that.

  12. dunas_dog

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best 2 defenders from combo list below to partner Bertrand Kolasinac (Long)?

    A Jones Davies -4
    B Maguire Davies -4
    C Jones Danilo (free)
    D Davies Hegazi (free)

    1. Clintymints
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A easy

      1. dunas_dog

        Thanks for that

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    On WC would you include Jones or is he too risky? I'm afraid when I get him in that Lindelof/Smalling may get a game?

    1. Clintymints
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No reason to be dropped apart from rotation. Worth the risk

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ta

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would, Mourinho has been very vocal in backing him despite the mistake(s) on Saturday.

  14. bennyp
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mane + Chich -> Eriksen + Vardy for a -8???

    1. Ser Davos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They're long term moves that could leave out of pocket this week, but going forward it's a thumbs up.

  15. RealSocialDads
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5 keeper? Thinking Fabianski due to Swansea's fixtures

    1. Ser Davos
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Elliot then Gomes

      1. RealSocialDads
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Have Elliot, Watford have tough fixtures coming up but they are a stronger defence than Swansea

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

      Agree

      1. RealSocialDads
        9 years, 1 month ago

        With Fabianski or Davos?

    3. tafrère
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Fabianski or Foster.

      1. tafrère
        9 years, 1 month ago

        *Hart not Foster.

  16. L9
    9 years, 1 month ago

    who to kick out for chupo? achu or richarlison? if i move achu i wont have money for buying coutinho to willian next week.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison, greater gain from getting in Coutinho than loss you would have losing Richarlison, wait and see how he is in the cl first though, Coutinho can take some time to get going

  17. Ser Davos
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Wes Morgan anyone? Rotates with Wimmer reasonably on first glance.

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I was looking at Simpson. They rotate well with Naightin but not confident in Swansea defence really

  18. We Will Klopp you
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso + Mkhi to Davies + Eriksen -4 pencilled in, no reason to do it now but yet I'm struggling to hold off. Is everyone else like this or do I need some work on my patience?

    1. La Roja
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That could spectacularly backfire

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

        And this.

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

      I'm the same haha. It's so tempting. Patience is a virtue. Not sure if that's the way I'd use my FT (and take a hit) but I guess if your team is in good shape and really want those 2, why not.

      I have Kane, Eriksen, Davies triple and would be looking to get them in if I wouldn't.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lol, glad it's not just me

        Team is:
        Elliot (Fabianski)
        Jones Alonso Clark (Naughton Rosenoir)
        Salah Mkhi Pogba Brady (Chalobah)
        Kane Morata Firmino

        So I can afford a luxury ft use if you can call it that 🙂

  19. Geri-hatricks
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender 4.7 and under?

    I'm thinking Naughton with Swansea upcoming good fixtures. They've had 2 clean sheets already, are people sold on their defence?

    1. La Roja
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd prefer Kiko

      1. Geri-hatricks
        9 years, 1 month ago

        BPS and goal threat?

        1. La Roja
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah. Plus Watford looks solid

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You couldn't pay me to buy into that defence.

  20. Red Dagger ✪
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Well I was 3.6 mill after GW2. My worst start ever. Now I'm 1.9 mill so at this rate I should be #1 in the world in 3 or four GW's correct...?

  21. Falling stars
    Dr Dream
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Falling stars.

    Every year around this time it's worth remembering just how good some of the players are we have ditched and have fallen in price. As always around GW4 a lot of players have become too mindful of price rises and TV...and worrying about 0.1 risers (a lot).

    So as I have done for the past few years I'll spend a few weeks putting out squads made up entirely(?) of players who have fallen in value and are collectively priced at, or less than, the 100mill original budget....and just as good as some of our WC's for last weeks hot properties. The anti knee jerk squad for this week...

    No keepers to offer yet so a little caveat on those...

    Elliot (4.0) Fabianski (4.5)
    Cahill (6.3) Bellerin (5.9) Lovren (5.4)...(Wimmer 4.4 Tuanzebe 3.9)
    Siggy (8.4) KDB (9.9) Coutinho (8.8) Gross (5.4)...(King (4.4)
    Kane (12.4 c) Carroll (5.9) Lacazette (10.4)

    Squad value bang on 100 mill and saving 1.5 mill on original values.

    Many other noticeable fallers to play around with including Sanchez, Jesus, Ritchie, Shaqiri, Knockaert and co...but already showing signs of a squad much more affordable than we could have started with. Keep watching the fallers.

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

      This needs to be a hot topic.

      1. Dr Dream
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Happens every year. During the first few weeks the likes of KDB and Kane failing or Sanchez rested should be viewed as a good thing...not a bad thing. We just need to sweep those sorts of players up when they have fallen. That's how to improve our squads.

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah that's interesting. Not sure about that defense but the rest of the team except AC is pretty good.

      1. Dr Dream
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Andy Carroll will limp off within a few weeks but then look to somebody else who falls through injury or suspension. It happens all the time. Watch the fallers as well as the risers and you'll be amazes how good your squad is in a few weeks.

      2. Dr Dream
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Also... The main point is that we don't need to rush transfers very often. Some of the best picks are sat there with no pressure for 0.1's. Do it collectively as a strategy for fallers and a good squad can fall into your lap. Some of the best bargains happen around GW6-8 usually.

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good value in Arsenal defence (monreal, mustafi, bellerin all fallen) as has trippier from Spurs. Also lindelof same price as Jones now. Could be an interesting option if he gets a run of starts.

      1. Dr Dream
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Good fixtures coming up as well.

    4. Heels_Over_Head
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Love this. Keep them coming. Getting Siggy this week on his quest for 4.

      1. Dr Dream
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aye. Good fixtures coming up. The point is that it doesn't need to be Siggy or Coutinho....it's just an exercise in showing there are always plenty of ways of bolstering our squads by looking at the red arrows on FFFix as well as those who are rising. You could actually play the game that way.

    5. ZaZaZu
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How many points would you be on? Not many!

    6. FC Lackless [BALEGIUM]

      Interesting one Wakey and worth taking note .... always the man with an alternative viewpoint from the masses

    7. Fred54
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Still waiting for the caveat on the goalkeepers...

      1. Dr Dream
        9 years, 1 month ago

        The caveat being no keepers have fallen in price...well not ones that will play anyway.

    8. BbBb
