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.

    Wood + Salah or Firmino + Matt Ritchie?

    Thoughts on Calvert-Lewin at 5.0? I only need him to be a touch better than bench fodder. He won't be a starter for me, but I'd like him hovering on the bench through Everton's great fixture run and picking up some points from him here and there.

    Clearly not 100% nailed on, but he has appeared in every match so far and is the one attacking player at Everton bringing some pace and spark, while the AMs all seem a bit same-same. Sandro doesn't appear to be nailed on either, and Rooney not really up top.

    My gut feeling is DCL will play a lot of minutes, even though it won't always be the full 90.

    My formation means I need a low-range 3rd forward, but ideally not bench fodder like Quaner (4.5). I can afford Joselu or Abraham, but the 0.5 would be very useful elsewhere.

    Do we think DCL is worth the punt at 5.0 if your formation is either 5-3-2 or 4-4-2 most GWs?

      Good option at 5m. Koeman likes to blood youngsters so you could be onto a winner as a bench option.

      1. MINUS FOUR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Do you think the minutes he's had so far is relatively indicative of how Koeman will use him? Not a regular starter, but almost involved in the match somehow?

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I think so. If thats adequate for a sub then so be it.

    2. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A good call simply to have cover through CL rotation.

      1. MINUS FOUR
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        That's what I was thinking. Out of all the risky budget attacking options, at least with DCL he should be involved every match, might jag some goals and assists coming on for the last 30 mins etc. Having him as a 3rd forward opens up so many opportunities in midfield and defence.

  3. Eze Really?
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Andy carroll?
    At 5.9 pretty good with fixtures and options at that price.
    The key at the moment is having a bench to cover CL rotation.
    He seems good to go but fingers crossed on injuries.

    1. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I thought about it but went with Joselu in the end. Carrolls injury record worries me and he could be used as a late sub in a plan B. Its all formation dependant and the situation will change when Lanzini returns.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        True. It seems 8.5 mil is the lowest price for a decent forward.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          5.5 😉

          1. Eze Really?
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I said decent. at least a defensive 5.5 can get you points.

    Hi everyone!

    Foster (WHU)
    Cedric (cpl) Jones (EVE) Naughton (tot)
    Salah (BUR) Mkhi (EVE) Alli (SWA) T.Carroll (tot)
    Kane (SWA) Lukaku (EVE) Firmino (BUR)

    Elliot | RLC* | Mee | Rosenior

    1FT 0.2ITB

    Good to go for GW5?

  5. Don Van Vliet
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    From gameweek 6 onwards, considering one of the following two.

    Rooney and Pogba
    Abraham and Hazard

    Is Rooney facing any repercussions from his recent drink-driving incident that might impact on game-time?

  6. QuintonFortune25
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather do:
    A) Lukaku + Richarlison out and Jesus + Mkhitaryan in

    B) Stephens + Richarlison out Alonso + Chalobah in

    Current team is
    Foster
    Kolasinac - Jones - Stephens - Lowe
    Salah - Alli - Pogba - Richarlison
    Lukaku - Kane

    Myhill - T.Carroll - Goldson - McBurine

    1ft & £1.2m itb

    1. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Richarlison out for a hit is not a move I would do. He seems about to start bringing points soon. If you definitely want to change him though, i d suggest wait for CL games they ll give you more info. Mkhitaryan may play 90 mins today so he may have restricted minutes vs Everton

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Just realised I could just do Lukaku and Stephens out for Alonso and Jesus, better option?

        1. skodaole2
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Again, if Jesus gets subbed before Aguero in CL game yes. If not, wouldnt go there Jesus could end up on bench on Saturday's game. Sry but i dont trust Guardiola at all, thats why i dont have a MCI player after he arrived

  7. Hamburgers fc
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    RMWCT
    Elliot - Foster
    Simpson - Mendy - Alonso - Naughton - Mbemba
    Gross - Eriksen - Pogba - Ritchie - Carroll
    Morata - Firmono - Kane

    I want to upgrade mid, but that means downgrade Mendy and/or Alonso. But I feel those two will get more points than a 8 mill mid..?

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

    Which pair will score the most points just for the next 3 gameweeks?

    A. Ramsey, Josh King
    B. Ritchie, Firmino
    C. Pedro, Chicarito

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

      B

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

      B one would have thought.

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

      Yh I thought as much but I feel Josh King would b revived soon

    Morning!

    Foster Elliot
    Kola Stephens TAA Suttner Prodl

    1 FT .1 ITB

    A) Stephens > Jones
    B) Tadic > Choupo-Moting
    C) TAA > someone up to 4.6
    D) Save

    1. QuintonFortune25

  10. French Gooner

    Morning All - ideas on this bunch?

    Foster / Elliot
    Baily/ B.Davies / Stephens / Daniels / long
    Pogba / Alli / Mooy / JWP / T. Carroll
    Kane / Lukaku / Firmino

    2FT 0.5ITB

    JWP major issue and midfield too light in general. How to improve ?

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

      JWP and Mooy > RLC & Ramsey

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        RLC like entire palace team didn't do anything since start of the season.
        Ramsey before Chelsea Away?
        Not great transfers in my opinion

    2. AndyCook
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Are you open to 4 at the back? Would you lose Lukaku? There's not a lot of play otherwise.

        1. French Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Open to 4 at the back
          Not open to lose the highest owned player in the game

    3. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Fab to Chuopo M and Quaner ACarroll for free?
      Concerned over top teams fixture pile up.

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

        Nope. I have Fab and I'm keeping him to see if he starts next gameweek.

        Chopper M could be a flash in the pan. Need to see more games.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          I think the same as you but Mbemba and Kiko F injuries I have no bench cover.

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

            Well I have TAA, Stephens, Danillo, Hunemonster and Mee with only Mee the sure thang out of that lot.

            When is Kilo F back?

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 3 months ago

              Waiting on news. news will determine moving him out too with Watford fixtures.

        2. BananaNose Maldonado
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Choupo'a got more shots in the box than any other mid over the last three matches. It's starting to look less like a flash and more like his role.

    4. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years

      Bottomed.

        Save although Stephens to Bavies is my likely tranny this week.

      Anything looks like it needs a hit or g2g?

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

        Good team tbf.

        Just Mbemba but you may as well hang onto him at 4.0 enabler.

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

          Thanks.

      2. Awoniyiiiii!
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Great team...took me three attempts to work out you could achieve that with 100MM...

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

          Thanks. 442, no Lukaku, only 1 heavy hitter in midfield and a cheap bench.

      3. skodaole2
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Two changes i would do are playing Elliot and benching RLC ahead of Carroll. RLC should start the next one and Palace must score sometime. Plus Trippier is not a sure starter anymore. No hit needed

    6. Bushman
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Just played by wildcard. Am I making a horrible top-heavy mistake?

      DDG / Elliot
      Davies / Soares / Hegazi / Lascelles / Mbemba
      Mkhi / Salah / Chupo-Moting / Gross / TCarroll
      Lukaku / Kane / Morata

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

        No Eriksen is a worry.

        I'd have Firmino ahead of Morata.

        Hegazi will shirley be under threat now and save some cash with Foster instead of DDG.

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

        There are a lot of potential flash in the pan players.

        I would downgrade Lukaku to Firmino and upgrade the midfield. I also definitely wouldn't have Hegazi on a wildcard.

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

        Yes, you are.

      4. Bushman
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Haha cheers guys. I had Erikson but had to reluctantly get rid of him to squeeze in Kane and Morata. Who would you upgrade out of Chuopo or Gross? Both are OOP cheap differentials owned by 2% and 1.7% respectively.

    7. Kavorka
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Any chance of Sterling starting against Watford

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

        Therr is a chance.

    8. Gianfranco Zola

      Help..

      Davies Stephens Daniels (Mee 4.0)

      Eriksen Mane Tadic Redmond (Carroll)

      Kane Lukaku Chicha

      2FT 0itb

      A) Mane > Salah/other
      B) Mane + Tadic > Salah + 5.5

      1. Demel

        Ramsey and Firmino in for Mane and Chica

      Hart
      Davies-Cedric-Hegazi-Lowe
      Willian-Mkhi-Salah
      Kane-Lukaku-Jesus

      Main problems are Willian and Hegazi. I think i'll keep with willian for now as i dont see any of his replacements outscoring him. Hegazi to which £5.0?

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

        Can you get Jones?

        1. ooooo
          • 8 Years

          Not enough money and i have pereira on the bench so no more united

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

        Hegazi to Dawson. Wimmer or Holgate. if wanting to save funds

        1. seewhyaxe
          • 8 Years

          I've got Ramsey & Alli in midfield.

          Kane and Kaku the other 2 upfront

      2. HST

          I've got no Chica. (you meant Mounie?) I've got Ritchie already 🙁

          So hard to replace the 2 players with somebody satisfactory

      3. Pompel

        B cause Chicha might be benched next week, given Ayew's GW and West Ham's changed formation

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

        Think It's actually worth a WC, but can wait a week or two. Liking B, though not sure on TAA gametime.

        1. Emp
          • 13 Years

          no you guys are misreading A is my current team B would be thw WC team

            • 11 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            That was my understanding, and I do think you should WC to B this or next GW.

              • 13 Years

        Stuck on the left wing with Carrol up top, got the hook on 62 mins for Ayew. Not great to watch as an owner.

      Team in OK shape, but need to shore up defense.
      Owning both Stephens and Hegazi, one of them needs to go to have 3 defenders for this GW. Other defenders are Bavies, Mee and Long.
      Who's the pick in the £4.5-5 range until WC in a week or three:
      A) Jones
      B) Cedric
      D) Naughton
      C) Lascelles
      D) Dawson
      E) others?

      cheers

        Potentially Dawson for GW5/7.
        Otherwise Cedric for me.

          You reckon Cedric is nailed

        Maguire if you have 5.1

          Good shout, OK fixtures coming up. Need to find a good rotation partner thern

      Foster | Elliot
      Cedric | Naughton | Mee | Danilo | Long
      Alli | Mkhi | Mane | Pogba | Carroll
      Lukaku | Firminio | Gabbi

      Danilo > Davies
      Mane > KDB

      Need to take Gabbi out at some point. Will struggle to get Kane in unless WC.

      Goodmorning guys, what to do?
      Please help, I'm knee-jerking over here.

      Lössl - Elliot

      Wimmer - Jones - Mee - Kolasinac - Mbemba

      D. Silva - Eriksen - Alli - Mooy - Richarlison

      Firmino - Kaku - Chicha

        What u got in the bank?

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Doesn't look too bad to me
          I'd sell mooy personally

              I'd do Mbemba to Davies or Silva to Salah

    20. Positive vibes
      • 9 Years

      Salah, Firmino, Mkhi

      Please choose 2 and why? (have Lukaku)

      Thanks, sorry repost.

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

        Salah and Firmino, gametime and probably more explosive

      After wildcarding in GW3 I find that my pre WC team has outscored in both the weeks. Spilt milk and all that. Anyway what is the best option here.
      Forster/Elliott
      Alonso/Jones/Bavies/Ward/Lowe
      Erik/Miki/Richarlison/Brady/TC
      Chicarito/Firmino/Lukaku

      3.6 itb 1FT

      I am thinking one of the following:
      1. Chica to Vardy
      2. Richarlison to Alli
      3. Chica to Jesus
      4. Kaku to Kane.

      My preference is in the order listed. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome. Thanks.

      3. Hot Fuzz
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        sounds fine i didn't like Chicharito from the beginning so 1. will do

      4. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        1 or 2 are the best moves
