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.

      I prefer Pogba. Wouldn't pick Silva. I like picking Vardy as a differential.

      Personally would do:

      silva > pogba
      lukaku > morata

    2ft...

    Sanchez & Chicarito > Sigurdsson & Jesus?

    1. Sahil Yadav
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If thinking very long term then yes..

      But for 2-3 game weeks then Siggy won't be a good choice

      1. mikess
        9 years, 1 month ago

        It is for Evertons fixtures which dramatically improve after this week

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

      Wouldn't bring Siggy yet. Everton looked awful. Hold with that at least 1 week.

      1. mikess
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Any mid at that price who is tempting? As a place holder?

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

          Pogba. Ramsey has couple good fixtures coming also but not sure if he's nailed when Sanchez back? That midrange between 5.0 - 7 so few options, personally don't really like any of them.

          1. mikess
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers food for thought

  6. Sahil Yadav
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which transfer to make?

    Foster
    Kola, Cedric, Hegazi
    Alli, Mkhi, Salah, RLC
    Kane, Lukaku, Gabbi

    Elliot, Carroll, Mee, Hunemeier

    0.7itb, 1 FT

    Gabbi, Hunemeier will drop soon.. Even Hegazi is uncertain

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

      Would've done Hegazi to Davies but you missed that.

      1. Sahil Yadav
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Was 0.1 short

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

          Yup. I think I'd save FT and look to get rid of Gabbi and Hegazi. Maybe move those 2 next week, get Kola for good fixtures. Downgrade Salah in order to bring Firmino in and then see what's left for mid?

  7. barracuda
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morning troops.

    I have changed my plan regarding my 2 FT and planning to do:

    Laca+Chica out for Vardy and Firm (No Pool cover).

    Any ideas?

    1. mikess
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not fancy keeping Lacazette for his nice fixtures after Che

    2. Sahil Yadav
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Lacazette

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

      I'd keep Laca unless you are planning on getting at least some Arsenal cover for game weeks 6 and 7 (I'm looking Kola as my only option)

    4. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'd make this move both on penalties too

    5. barracuda
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers troops

  8. MOZIL
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus or Morata for upcoming few weeks?

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

      Flip a coin

    2. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Morata for me tough call though

    3. Reed_Rothchild
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Morata as a season long keeper with Lukaku and Kane

  9. Positive vibes
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Salah or Mkhi? And why?
    (Have Lukaku & Firmino)
    Thanks.

    1. Schliegs
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If you don't have Pogba or Mkhi get one.

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

    Elliot | Foster
    Alonso | Davies | Bertrand | Yoshida | 4.0
    Eriksen | Pogba | Phillips | Atsu
    Kane | Lukaku | Chicarito

    1 FT, 0.4 ITB

    GW5 Phillips -> Mooy (0.7 ITB)
    GW6 Bertrand -> Kolasinac (0.2 ITB)
    GW7 Yoshida -> Jones
    GW8 -> WC 2nd intertional break

    Comments? Better ideas?

    1. mikess
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For me Yoshida, Atsu, Phillips and Chicarito are the key issues. Address those

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

        Yeah, I completely agree. Chicarito is gone when I WC on 2nd international break. I think I can hold on until then with those transfers.

        Better options for 5.7 and under than Mooy? Was looking Grob dude but not really sold on him. Would be only 2 weeks for Mooy (would play 4-3-3 with Jones GW7)

        1. mikess
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Think Brady, the Stoke lad who got a brace or Wood are best options

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

            Yeah, thanks for your input. I looked all of those. It's different for me as it's so short term and fixtures are the most important thing. Burnley plays Pool, Stoke plays Newcastle, Chelsea, Soton.

            Mooy gives 2 good fixtures and money to do Bertrand -> Kola for 2 amazing Gunners fixtures. I think I'm set on my plan if no injuries.

    2. Schliegs
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I also have Yosh, why are you shipping him? Excellent fixtures coming up.

      1. mikess
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Lost his spot

        1. Schliegs
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sure he wasn't just rested because of the Japan game?

          1. mikess
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Pretty sure. £15m signing stepped in

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

        Very likely lost his spot. But he's my 4th D and going 3-4-3 next week so I don't need to move him. I'll keep him as 1st sub.

        1. Schliegs
          9 years, 1 month ago

          ahhh shit

  11. The Man Pastore
    9 years, 1 month ago

    G2G for this week?

    Foster
    Davies Cedric Dawson
    Alli Pogba Ramsey Atsu
    Kane(C) Lukaku Firmino

    Elliot TCarroll Mee Naughton

    1FT/0.3ITB

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

      Yup, save ft.

  12. cuervos
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather have a Burnley, Newcastle, Brighton or Huddersfield defender?

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

      Depends on fixtures

    2. mikess
      9 years, 1 month ago

      First two

  13. Sancidino
    9 years, 1 month ago

    JWP to Gross a good way to spend my free transfer?

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

      Couple good fixtures coming so I don't hate it. Might save FT though

  14. Schliegs
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Has anyone watched any of Leicester's matches? Is Vardy looking like taking off? or is Firmino the better option?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy no European commitments less prone to rotation.

    2. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ive watched a few and it's typical Leicester, barely any possession not too many chances either. That being said Vardy is looking sharp as ever, very good and quick in the box, and is just a natural poacher and will do anything for a tap in goal.

      He has scored 3 in 4, coming against Chelsea and Arsenal... so with easier teams coming up I expect more chances to come his way, and he is possibly on penalty duty.

      That was my logic for getting him in instead of Firmino.

      1. Schliegs
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Enough said, I'm sold.

        1. Schliegs
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Although, are Leicester actually going to have a good season? lost 2-0 to brighton and looked very shite against Man U...

          1. Schliegs
            9 years, 1 month ago

            My bad, they won 2-0

            I'm sold.

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

        Good arguments. I'm looking to get one of those 2 as my 3rd striker when using WC. Was planning Firmino as Pool cover but might go Salah / Mane + Vardy

  15. Sahil Yadav
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will you keep Hegazi and Gabbi?

    1. Schliegs
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Free transfer, no.

      Hit, maybe.

    2. waldo666
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looking to ship Gabbi but still very much undecided as to who will take his place

    3. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sell both

  16. Kane Train
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino or Morata

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

      Both when after WC. Firmino + MIB

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

      Morata

      Firmino not playing as an out and out striker. Get your Liverpool cover through Salah/Mane

      1. Schliegs
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Probably not get Mane..

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Both

  17. The Big Fella
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I think despite the perceived logic around here I am going to get rid of Lukaku for Kane and not Jesus. If I do that I can upgrade Chicharito to Vardy and downgrade, if I want to, Alli to Pogba for some kind of United attacking threat.

    Thoughts?

    1. Schliegs
      9 years, 1 month ago

      makes sense, slightly sideways but i like it.

      1. The Big Fella
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I thought that but Lukaku doesn't get BPS, Kane does and Vardy is in a better, higher scoring team than WHU and Chicharito. He was also involved in about 45% of Leicester goals last season and appears to be on pens this year.

    2. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How can you get money for doing Lukaku to Kane, and then upgrade Chica to Vardy... those are both upgrades, do you have 4m in the bank?

      1. The Big Fella
        9 years, 1 month ago

        2.4m. So, 0.8 for Lukaku to Kane and Chicharito to Vardy leaves me with 0.1 in the bank.

        1. FantasyNik123
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wow somehow thought Lukaku was a 10.5. Silly me. Yeah I like that move considering Kane is the go to captain for 3/4 weeks.

          1. The Big Fella
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Yes. Lukaku could be too but he doesn't get BPS and the only thing holiding my team back is poor captaincy decisions every week.

    3. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sound move. Lukaku is not giving value for his price. Rashford might even be better

      1. The Big Fella
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I have just gone back through the weeks. He doesn't get BPS, even when he scores. Kane will get BPS when he scores though. I will bring him in on Thursday after the CL match..

    4. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shipped Lukaku and Chicharito last week for Morata and Firmino happy with my decision

      1. The Big Fella
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Who is your third striker?

  18. Mini Mane Mo
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Will welbeck keep his place now that Sanchez is back? Can see Ozil being dropped.

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Typo error - can't

    2. FantasyNik123
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dont bring Welbeck in. Almost as bad as Xhaka in.

  19. Jackson99
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Yoshida or Stephens will start this gameweek?

    Thanks

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yoshida

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

        Yoshi and new guy both left sided CB. Stephens playing wasn't a shock

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Yoshi plays predominantly on the right as he's right footed. Forced to play on the left to accommodate Stephens

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

    Richarlison>Choupo? Wouldn't sell but dropping and Man C next. Other option is Atsu but think he's worth keeping

    1. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Of the two you have I think it's Richarlison that's worth keeping. He's not dropping in price any time soon.

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

        Richarlison is -94.8

        1. Pierce34
          9 years, 1 month ago

          He's +94.8.

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

            Doh thanks. No need to panic

    2. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Richarlison will fire soon decent stats

    Hello DZ. How're you all doing? How was the first gameweek after IB?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Adequate

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        9 years, 1 month ago

        My answer to all questions above

    2. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Spectacularly mediocre for me, 54 points. That's after 55 in GW1, 54 in GW2 and 45 in GW3. I'm missing a lot of things this year but consistency isn't one of them.

    3. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Great 72 feeling good , how did you do dreams

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pretty good

    5. Dreams
      9 years, 1 month ago

      53 points. Benched Groß. 4th consecutive captain failure. But I'll take that anyways as I got a green arrow.

      1. ScotDougie
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Once it's green your good

  24. GuyIncognito
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would people get rid of Chicha? Seeing him play on the wing was kind of goofy but he still had a good opportunity which he should have put away.

    1. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who for , I sold last week so happy with that but he did hit the bar this week, if upgrading to Firmino or Vardy yes if downgrading no

    2. Dreams
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'll keep him for now with some good fixtures coming up.

      1. GuyIncognito
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I have him and Antonio with that in mind and Antonio is going nowhere.

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

      Somewhat forced to keep for next 3 weeks. He's gone after WC unless he starts scoring. Looked decent tonight though.

  25. Rossamous
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My defense is Foster, Elliot/ Cedric, Hergazi, Mee, Kola, Naughton

    I need 0.5 to raise money for Kane.

    A. Hergazi (playing concern) to 4.2
    B. Cedric to 4.5 (possibly Wimmer)

  26. OPTA FPL
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Is Gross taking any set pieces for Brighton?

    1. Rossamous
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. OPTA FPL
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Pens, CK, FK?

        1. Rossamous
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Saw him taking some corners against City but haven't watched him any other times. I would assume he does other free kicks as well

          1. OPTA FPL
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks but I hoped for Penos though

  27. ScotDougie
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Hoping for a Morata rise now cmon cmon

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

    Stephens>Bavies? His numbers are so good

    1. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      For a free, definitely.

    2. Rossamous
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. Wish I could bring in Bavies myself. Rose won't factor in for a while

    3. ScotDougie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No brainer mate I think he keeps Rose on the bench too he's on fire

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

    For next 2 weeks:

    a) Groß (Bournemouth away, Newcastle home)
    b) Mooy (Leicester home, Burnley away)

    Both on set pieces, right? I know nothing about Groß or Brighton.

        One of those for Phillips. Best route to fund Kola for GW6 and 7 (WC after that).

      i went for Mooy. Stats almost identical in terms of shots and chances created. But mooy is more tipped to be on pens and yeah both have monopoloy on set peices.

        Thanks for your input. Price difference doesn't matter in my situation. My gut says Mooy.

          Go with that then mate. I swapped him in for willian and swapped My 4.0 defender for Davies for a hit.
