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'm ditching Lukaku.

    Gonna go Kane - Morata - Firmino

    Have, Kane - Lukaku - Hernandez

    It's obvious what wins.

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

      Everyone should consider shifting Lukaku, having 3 big hitters in attack is essential this year unless playing a 352.

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      i prefer kane (c) morata firmino >>> kane kaku and any 7 or below striker..

  2. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Really think this team needs a shake up. Will hold tight until the games this week.

    Willing to take a -4 on this. Any comments are very welcome:

    Mane, Richarlison, Chicharito to Mahrez, Gross, Firmino

    Foster (Elliott)

    Alonso Cedric Jones (Lowe Mbemba)

    Pogba Mane Ramsey Richarlison (Carroll)

    Kane Lukaku Chicharito

  3. Rosey Palmer

    DeGea or Elliot next GW?

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

      DDG

  4. FantasyNik123
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    F**k all of these RMT posts!!! Let's play a new game! 🙂

    Foster
    Jones Bertie Dunk
    Eriksen Salah Ritchie Ince
    Kane Lukaku Gabbiadini

    Myhill TC Hegazi Long

    This game is called guess what Rank I am. Round to the closest 100,000.

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      400000 ?

    2. Rosey Palmer
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      1.6 million?

    3. G-Whizz

      500k

  5. RealSocialDads
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    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

  6. CERVELO
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mendy or Kolasinac for the long term?

    1. SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Probably Kola

    2. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      mendy

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Perfect 5 I think are

        Alonso Bavies Kola Jones Cedric

        3 attacking 2 great value.

      2. CERVELO
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months 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

  7. RealSocialDads

    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
      • 14 Years

      Probably d

    2. Totti
      • 9 Years

      hegazy

    3. acidicleo
      • 9 Years

      b

    4. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      D for me

  8. Totti
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    will ince drop tonight?

    1. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

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

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

        1. FantasyNik123
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months 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.

  9. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    How does this look for a -4?

    Mane, Richarlison & Chicharito to Mahrez, Gross & Firmino

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

      Like it.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not with Gross

  10. Flying Assassins
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Tadic to Pogba

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

      Tadic

    3. Balance
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I'll try to bring Kane in

  11. Deicide
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      Nice

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Well done

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Me too, that late Burnley goal did hurt though

  12. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Last time asking before sleep.

    C.Moting or Gross?

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Choupo-Moting in midfield? Gross.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Very gross indeed.

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      As a Gross owner, I would easily say Choupo

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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

  13. Puyol Pants Up
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Will Gabbi drop before Liverpool play Sevilla?

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

      Wouldn't bank on it, personally.

  14. Nigawan
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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..

  15. MrNatural
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No Ronaldo? Against APOEL?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

      2. MrNatural
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, no Asensio?

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Heard rumors he won't start?

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

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

        2. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months 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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        To be fair he does have goal threat

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

            Fair enough

      2. MrNatural
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Very different...

    5. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Need CR7.

    6. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Is Areola nailed? I have him as well.

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Started all games this season

      2. MrNatural
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

        1. Stats Don\'t Lie
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

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

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

            Hmm, worth a ponder. Cheers.

  16. COYS Down Under

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

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Only the silly ones.

    2. VFORVANDETA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not many.

    3. TheTwelfthMan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

    5. More Tragic
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      see what the Dortmund game brings first

    6. ScotDougie
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Or they just don't know football

        1. COYS Down Under
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months 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
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            You should have him already , enjoy the sofa

            1. COYS Down Under
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 3 months 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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

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

        Exactly it was only a matter of time

  17. RealSocialDads
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      Why not.

    2. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good to me

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sounds good

    4. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Good moves

    5. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Solid moves

  18. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Move

    2. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months 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 ⭐
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. FantasyNik123
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

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

  19. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Best midfielder for 6 or less?

    1. DIOCCÁ
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Brady

  20. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hmm

    Chica & Mbemba -> Joselu & Kolasinac?

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not bad at all

  22. jamichael
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Willian to D. Silva or Ramsy? Thanks

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

      D.Silva imo.

    2. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I would Ramsey.

  23. MFPL

    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
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. mikess
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good. Atsu might need addressing

    3. FantasyNik123
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Gabbi to Vardy.

  24. Mick J
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

      1. Mick J

    2. mikess

        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.

      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.

  26. mikess
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years

      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

    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

      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.

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