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.

    Mendy or Kolasinac for the long term?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Kola

    2. Totti
      9 years, 1 month ago

      mendy

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

      Both?
      Perfect defence would be
      Alonso, Mendy, Kola, Davies

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

        Perfect 5 I think are

        Alonso Bavies Kola Jones Cedric

        3 attacking 2 great value.

      2. CERVELO
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Currently I have Alonso, Jones & Davies - planning a 4-3-3 long term with Kane / Vardy / Morata - just can decide between these 2....Mendy looked very very good, but think Kola is equally as good when positioned out wide rater than central and more guaranteed gametime

  2. RealSocialDads
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    Play one:

    A. Mee (liv)
    B. Hegazi (WHU)
    C. Carroll (tot)
    D. Abrahams (tot)

    Hegazi usually the obvious choice but unsure on whether he'll start

    1. nadman89
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably d

    2. Totti
      9 years, 1 month ago

      hegazy

      D for me

  3. Totti
    9 years, 1 month ago

    will ince drop tonight?

    1. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      50/50 but I still like his potential to score.

      1. Totti
        9 years, 1 month ago

        me too
        his style like mehrez
        and sooner or later he"ll score

        1. FantasyNik123
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah dribbling is the same except Ince with every touch just wants to score. 6 shots today all blocked, with one off the bar. Still optimistic for a couple more gameweeks before I eventually WC him out of my team.

  4. FantasyNik123
    9 years, 1 month ago

    NEW GAME: It's called guess my overall rank from my current team:
    (I just brought in Salah and Vardy for Mane and Gab)

    Foster
    Jones Bertie Dunk
    Eriksen Salah Ritchie Ince
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Myhill TC Hegazi Long

    1. SuperMane Returns
      9 years, 1 month ago

      400k?

      1. FantasyNik123
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lower. Higher number, lower rank I mean.

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

      Higher than me

      1. FantasyNik123
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Doubt it, I'm pretty low.

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

          2m low?

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

      2,6m

      1. FantasyNik123
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Higher than that. I'm judging winner based on closest 100k, so round to 100k.

        1. ScotDougie
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Who gives a shit

    4. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1.8m

      1. FantasyNik123
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Right on the money pal.

        1. VFORVANDETA
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Where my prize?

          1. FantasyNik123
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Satisfaction of having a better rank than me.

  5. semiconductor
    9 years, 1 month ago

    just thinking out loud if u can tell me ur opinion please

    my front 7 are:
    Eriksen Mkhi SALAH Ritchie
    Kane Lukaku CHICHARITO

    How about Salah and Chicharito to Choupo-Moting and Lacazette??

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Salah has BUR (H), Lacazette CHE (A). I'd avoid that move for this week at least.

      1. semiconductor
        9 years, 1 month ago

        i was thinking such move for next week actually after the chelsea game

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

      Think I will be patient with Chica after watching the game today. Fact he went off after 62 minutes is more worrying but I think he will get minutes even when some others return.

      1. semiconductor
        9 years, 1 month ago

        i'll wait for next week anyway but just sharing my thoughts and taking opinions

    3. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does Ritchie to a 4.5 (RLC , Carroll ) and Chicharito to Firmino work ?

      1. semiconductor
        9 years, 1 month ago

        i'll be 0.2m short. 0.1m short for Vardy

  6. laplana
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kane - Morata - Firmino

    ahhhh perfect .

    1. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Said literally everyone on this site. Vardy punt all the way lads!!! Stop chatting s**t!!!!

      1. COYS Down Under
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You can't stop group think

        I'd rather Jesus than Morata.

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ignoring a certain fella who's scored 4 in 4 and is in 57% of all teams with not the worst fixtures..

      1. laplana
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Morata will match Lukaku if not better it

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

      Not affordable really but Kane Morata and Jesus

    4. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's my front 3 happy with it

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

      Lukaku, Kane and Firmino for me 🙂

  7. Zoostation
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How does this look for a -4?

    Mane, Richarlison & Chicharito to Mahrez, Gross & Firmino

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Like it.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not with Gross

  8. Flying Assassins
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who needs to go first? 3.3 ITB

    Foster (Elliot)
    Jones Stones BDavies (Mee Yoshi)
    Alli Salah Ritchie Tadic (TC)
    Firm Lukaku Chica

    A) Tadic
    B) Yoshi
    C) Chica
    D) Stones

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic to Pogba

    2. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tadic

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

      I'll try to bring Kane in

  9. Deicide
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Bdavis is such a bargain. Glad I got him at the begining of the season.

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nice

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

      Well done

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Me too, that late Burnley goal did hurt though

  10. VFORVANDETA
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Last time asking before sleep.

    C.Moting or Gross?

    1. SuperMane Returns
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Choupo-Moting in midfield? Gross.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Very gross indeed.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      As a Gross owner, I would easily say Choupo

    3. SAY MY NAME
      9 years, 1 month ago

      CM for me, played as part of a front 3 effectively, I like Gross but see more goals in the long run from stoke

  11. Puyol Pants Up
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will Gabbi drop before Liverpool play Sevilla?

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't bank on it, personally.

  12. Nigawan
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I just my WC last week and i already regret not bringing kane in..

    current team:

    foster-elliot
    alonso - jones - cedric - naughton - 4.0
    miki- alli - salah - loftuscheek- t.carrol
    firmino - morata - lukaku

    a) Keep faith in my team
    b) alonso and lukaku out for b.davies and kane..

    1. Total Foot 5
      9 years, 1 month ago

      prob b

  13. King Klopp
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morata to Lukaku and Mee to Davis for a -4?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku to Morata you mean?

  14. MrNatural
    9 years, 1 month ago

    UCL Fantasy team that will win:

    Reina
    Jorge, Hummels, Vrsalkjo
    Eriksen, Lemar, Isco(c), Saul N.
    Mbappe, Messi, Insigne

    Anyone playing this thing?

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No Ronaldo? Against APOEL?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This, I'm a Messi fan boy and I have Ronaldo over Messi in UCL fantasy

      2. MrNatural
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I know, I know. I'm trying out counter-intuitive thought in this particular iteration of fantasy football.

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, no Asensio?

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

        Heard rumors he won't start?

        1. TheTwelfthMan
          9 years, 1 month ago

          With no Benzema think there might be a spot for him somewhere.

        2. Puyol Pants Up
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Is that so? He's the highest owned midfielder in the game and is very cheap, even if he doesn't start it won't hurt too much.

    3. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hummels is poor VFM too, no bonus on UCL so you're paying 6m for a maximum of 6 points unless you get really lucky. I'd spend more of that midfield money in getting those heavy hitters up front, Mbappe and Insigne is light.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        9 years, 1 month ago

        To be fair he does have goal threat

        1. TheTwelfthMan
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Scores one every 10 games on an average over his career. I'd rather spend the 6.0 on a Mendy or a Carvajal.

          1. Puyol Pants Up
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough

      2. MrNatural
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. Yeah, you're right. As I say, playing more nonchalantly in the UCL version, just because.

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

      Very different...

    5. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Need CR7.

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

      Reina > varela/areola
      Hummels > glik
      Vrsaljko not nailed
      No Ronaldo...

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Is Areola nailed? I have him as well.

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

          Started all games this season

      2. MrNatural
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Ta. What's the advantage of Glik over Hummels? Just fixtures?

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

          Fixtures and a superior attacking threat. Has like 2g 2a already in ligue1 this season I believe

          1. MrNatural
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Hmm, worth a ponder. Cheers.

  15. WatchMen
    9 years, 1 month ago

    is worth for -8 ?

    chicharro ----> Kane (c)
    Naughton ---> Wimmer

    have to downgrade Naughton because missing 0.1 to get Kane

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Though one, flip a coin

    2. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

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

      Not for -8

  16. COYS Down Under
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How many people not getting on the Kane Train just yet?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only the silly ones.

    2. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not many.

    3. TheTwelfthMan
      9 years, 1 month ago

      They're all off to buy the biggest sofas available in the whole world.

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

      Have Alli and Eriksen(c) so not feeling too bad

    5. More Tragic
      9 years, 1 month ago

      see what the Dortmund game brings first

    6. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Captained him last week never lost faith and will captain every week home and away , those without him have either used their wildcards already and can't get him without multiple hits and are trying to justify it to owners that they don't need him knowing deep down they're wrong and will be punished accordingly

      1. ScotDougie
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Or they just don't know football

        1. COYS Down Under
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Well I'm not taking a hit to transfer Lukaku to Kane, that seems crazy to me. I can wait a week and do it without a hit.

          1. ScotDougie
            9 years, 1 month ago

            You should have him already , enjoy the sofa

            1. COYS Down Under
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Why? So far all I've done is miss his 3 blanks and a brace.

              Meanwhile my 3 forwards have returned 7 out of 12 times. Including Jesus who I captained this week.

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

        Or they think a combo like eriksen + firmino or morata + pogba is better than kane + gross

        1. ScotDougie
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I have Kane Morata Firmino Mkyhi Eriksen Salah , owning Kane doesn't mean the rest of your team has to be shit

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

      Had him from the off, wasn't going to give myself the problem of trying to fit him in later on when needed.

      1. ScotDougie
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly it was only a matter of time

  17. RealSocialDads
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on Forster + Yoshida -> Fabianski + Bavies for free?

    1. VFORVANDETA
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why not.

    2. Jay Jay Okocha
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good to me

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds good

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

      Good moves

    5. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Solid moves

  18. JÆKS ⭐
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbi is on -92 and I have exact cash to sell him for Vardy. Would you make the move today or are you confident he won't drop?

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

      Move

    2. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I made the move a minute ago. What's a day do if you're worried about Vardy being injured?

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        9 years, 1 month ago

        More like an injury to one of my players in CL that I'm worried about but might just avoid the risk of him dropping and make the move, price drops have been a bit off this season so far. One could easily drop when he is still at -96

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Make the move. I'm doing Gabbi to Firmino and I'm waiting for UCL. But I feel like he won't stay up till then 🙁

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Made the move lads: Gabbi OUT Vardy IN, let the party begin!

      1. FantasyNik123
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Get in!!! Screw Firmino, we are having a party!!!

  19. Jay Jay Okocha
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best midfielder for 6 or less?

    1. DIOCCÁ
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Brady

  20. The Big Fella
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So all my scores so far have been respectable but none were really standout - 4 week average of about 54. I have gone back through the GW to see why. I have picked the wrong captain every single week. I could have about 40 points extra on top of what I have now. Chose Jesus over Lukaku in the first game, Lukaku over Jesus this week and Lukaku over Jesus last week. Second week, I went Lukaku again but should have Chicharito. I don't think anybody sane would have done that though.

  21. Stimps
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm

    Chica & Mbemba -> Joselu & Kolasinac?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad at all

  22. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Mane owners who are you moving to?

    I own Eriksen/Mkhitaryan already and dont own any other Pool attacker

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

      I got Alli

    2. WatchMen
      9 years, 1 month ago

      get alli

    3. SAY MY NAME
      9 years, 1 month ago

      went Choupo-Moting, using spare cash to bring in Vardy (already have alli/eriksen/firmino)

    4. mikess
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd shift sideways to Salah

    5. JÆKS ⭐
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Salah in that case

    6. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks gents

  23. jamichael
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Willian to D. Silva or Ramsy? Thanks

    1. MFPL
      9 years, 1 month ago

      D.Silva imo.

    2. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I would Ramsey.

  24. MFPL
    9 years, 1 month ago

    De Gea (Elliot)
    Dawson Stephens Naughton (Lowe Long)
    Salah Pogba Silva Atsu (Carroll)
    Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini
    1.9m ITB 1FT

    Currently thinking Gabbi to Firmino, thoughts? Is there any other trade I should be considering?

    1. Mick J
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Go ahead, I’d say! But see if you could wait tlll after the European games, in case of injuries.

    2. mikess
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. Atsu might need addressing

    3. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Gabbi to Vardy.

  25. Mick J
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A. Lukaku + Mané to Kane + Salah, or
    B. Mounie + Mané + Tadic to Kane + Gross + Chalobah for (–4)?

    As it stands, this is my team
    De Gea (Elliot)
    Alonso / Kolasinac / Dawson / Mee (£4.0 Mason)
    Eriksen / Mané / Tadic / Brady (Carroll)
    Lukaku / Jesus / Mounie
    2 free transfers, £0.0 in the bank.

    C. Do something else?

    Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    1. MFPL
      9 years, 1 month ago

      A

        That’s a good point, but luckily I have £0.4 in the bank. It will be £0.0 after the transfers. Many thanks for the comment!

    Who you do guys think the best midfielder 7.0M or less is and why?

    Like Choupou-Moting based off his history in the Bundesliga, being OOP, being surrounded by good wingers and price.

    1. mikess

      Probably best bet. Ritchie will tick away imo

      Might be worth it to see him play a couple of more games first. But there seems not to be that many interesting sub £7.0 mids this year, so might be the most interesting one at the moment.

      that's who I've gone with, 2 goals against best defence, had tough fixtures so far so a chance of better to come, think he is nailed under Hughes, best option for the money with what info we have so far, playing oop, passed the eye test Saturday

      For what its worth I like the look of that stoke front 3 in Jese, Shaqiri, CM

        Here is more OOP as a a forward right now tbf.

  27. mikess
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Elliott
    Jones, Davies, Schindler
    Eriksen, Sanchez, Mkhitaryan, Richarlison
    Kane(c), Firmino, Chicarito

    (Foster, Carroll, Hegazi, Mbemba)

    Blessed with funds tied up with Sanchez. 2ft 0.0itb

    Any suggestions?

    Head says shift funds up top to get Morata or Jesus

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

      Sanchez + chica > hazard + vardy or pogba + morata

    2. acidicleo

      chic to morata sounds good by downgrading alexis..

    Thoughts on my wc guys please

    Elliot Krul
    Mendy Kol Davies naughton 4.0
    Erikksen Pogba matong Gross RLC
    Jesus kane Firmino

    .7 itb

    1. mikess

      A little skewed by this week but looks great. Still think I'd invest the cash on Alonso over Mendy. Mendy is an unbelievable crosser tho

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

      Naughton > jones/maguire
      Gross > carroll
      Krul > pickford

    Hi, please help.

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

    A. Chica+Alonso -> Firmino/Vardy+Bavies
    B. Chica+Salah+Mbemba -> Firmino+Gross/Moting/Doucoure+Bavies (-4 hits)
    C. Others, please mention

    Think to do B cause I dont want to lose Alonso. If B I still have 0,5m next week to upgrade Heg to Cedric or Foster to Forster.

    Thanks.

    1. mikess

      Don't loose Salah. Rather loose Mkhitaryan over him. I'd loose Chica definitely. He's gone for me
