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.

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

      Typo error - can't

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

    Carroll could be a great third striker enabling option at just 5.9m

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

      yes he would enable us to waste our free transfers on injuries

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He's always good value
      It's about his fitness

    Antonio looking brilliant. Will score well.

    If West Ham play this system then Cresswell becomes an option. Will get forward and so far has been on all corners and free kicks. His deliveries haven't been great. But with Carroll, Collins, Fonte, Antonio, Kouyate etc to aim at he's going to get assists. Surely?

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

      He'll be a good pick when West Ham turn their fortunes around

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Lanzini surely will take some of the set pieces

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

        Ahhhh yes that's it. Good point. Was wondering who they were missing!

      Creswell has been on corners and free kicks?

    Hi, please help.
    Is this move worth -4? (looking for long term result)

    Current (out): Chica-Mkhi-Hegazi
    In: Firmino-Groß-Bavies

    My other attacking player is Kane, Lukaku, Eriksen, Salah and Carroll.

    Thanks.

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

      Looks good

      Check different options at 5.5, maybe you can find someone better than Gross

    2. kfairbro123
      • 8 Years

      Can I ask why you wish to get rid of Mkhi?

      1. Positive vibes
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Hi, cause I think I must sell Chica and Hegazi to have Firmino and Bavies. Either Mkhi or Salah must go to fund those transfer. Thanks.

    This is what was expected of Huddersfield. Welcome to the Premier League.

      Honeymoon period over

    2. Respect My Authoritah

      Was like watching a Pulis side. They'll survive

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

        Injuries & suspensions to start biting soon. They won't.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      still my favourites for relegation alongside Brighton

    4. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Up until that jammy goal they were more than holding their own

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, their attack is the worrying part. Defensively they're ok

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

      I watched first half, they had zero threat. Not only that, but they also seemed a lot physically inferior to the WHU players.

  12. ralfb
    • 11 Years

    why was lowe replaced? Injured?

      Good job loads covered those WHU goals with Hernandez..

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

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

    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.

  15. Pierce34

    ML rival had 46 points in his starting XI, and a massive 39 on his bench.

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/3760924/event/4

    (He was lucky enough to get Doucoure for Blind)

    Anyone with a higher bench score? I don't even recall having that many points on the bench in a DGW...

      1. Pierce34
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Now I was going to say it's a stupid decision to play BB in a random single GW, but can't argue with the points.

          Innit! But how??? Never seen anything like it, I got no chance of breaking into the top 10k when people can do stuff like that?!!! 😆

            wow, and he has a very decent looking squad, 101tv and only made 2 transfers...I give up!

  16. SilkySkills

    8 years, 3 months ago

    Will Jesus get enough game time to compete with Lukaku?

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

      Yes

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

        I'm thinking about going Firmino, Morarta Jesus as my front 3 to get funds for my midfield

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Dunno because of his injury last season. The evidence so far says yes, but that's based on too few games.

  17. eamonhegg
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What do you think of this line-up.

    Foster
    Alonso-Kol-Bavies-Jones
    D Silva-Mhiki-Choubo
    Kane-Kaku-Firmino

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

      Very strong

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

        Thanks. Worked towards getting all major teams covered.

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

      the mids are 6/10
      silva has rotation risk. not a high source of points.
      miki - ok
      choubo? hmmmm....

      wats left itb?

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

        Next to nothing.

        Need city cover. But Silva rotation? Hes captain and played a major role in the last 4 GW.

        Have Eliot - Mee - Carroll - Astu

        1. 42towels
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Silva was ranked 9th in City's goal involvement last year, and 5th for the two seasons before then. I love the player, just dont think he'll really provide the City cover you want.

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

      Not a fans of Silva & Firmino,
      Jesus looks getting stronger, Kaku to Jesus and Silva to Eriksen/Salah?

      Salah would have a bigger chance to rise as Mane suspended

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

        Im a fan of both so have to disagree.

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Downgade Alonso and sort out mids.

    5. banskt
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Great team.
      What is your team value? What are your bench players?

    6. Aussiemilan
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      always going to have a smaller mid with that front line and backline, Gros or Brady for me over Choubo though. id probably down firmino to bench fodder and strengthen the whole mid with 3.5-4m if your on a wildcard

  18. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Gabbiadini owners what we should do?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Buy Austin?

      1. Old Wulfrunian

    2. TheTwelfthMan

      not a Gabbiadini owner, but bin.

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years

      Invent a time machine and go back to just before gw1, then kick your own nuts for thinking about getting Gabbiadini

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 8 Years

      2. Old Wulfrunian
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        there are far more interesting things to do with a time machine.

          Good chance gabbi doesnt start v palace

          I'm getting rid - prob for that big guy with the pony tail who plays for West ham....

      Salah in that case

      Playing the game entirely wrong. Utilise subs and have a squad of 15

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

        There are a lack of certain starters in the first team if you accommodate for the substitutes. I have tried but managers rotate players for midweek.

            I know. Newbie to our league too.

    ...and the knee-jerking goes on
    Loads on here getting rid of Chicarito now, just as WHU have turned the corner and have WBA, SWA, BUR, BRI & Palace, 5 of their next 6 fixtures.
    Still looks a decent third forward to me!

    1. Mini Mane Mo

      Turned the corner after one win? Must be a really short one

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Haha, to be fair it was their first home game of the season after a disasterous start and they've a nice upcoming run of fix!

    2. Foozeball

      Yup. I think West Ham will score some goals in the next few fixtures, and I will be interested in Lanzini when he returns from injury

      Turned out to be a managerial stroke of genius from Bilic to replace him with Ayew. If he wants to play Carroll then he's better off flanked by Antonio and Ayew that's for sure.

      Not that I'm implying Chicharito is a rotation risk, just thinking out loud.

      1. GuyIncognito
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Because they got a deflection on a speculative long range shot and a scrappy set piece goal?

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          The ends justify the means! It was a slightly tongue-in-cheek comment that it was a stroke of genius, but I do think that if Bilic wants to play Carroll he's better off with Chicharito on the bench.

        This. Having watched the game, Hernandez was often out of position

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          How was Huddersfield defence Mikess?

      Exactly, I think many people are overlooking the fact tgat he hit the bar and created chances for others, he put kouyate on a plate at one point in the 2nd half, only for him to fluff the chance

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yup, he didnt exactly play bad. Carroll will be injured next week anyway so Chica will become the main striker again 😉

    Good energy from WHU, if they can keep up this tempo 3points will stay in London.

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

      Aren't Crystal Palace from London?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years

        Fail

      2. Rainer

        You on the same stuff as Bilic in the pic?

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

          I wish

    Such a relief watching a game without a defender or keeper.

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

      Cue a goalless draw

    Any Suggestion for My Team?

    Elliot
    Bertrand Stephens Dann
    Salah Mkhi Ramsey Willian
    Lukaku Kane Jrod

    Foster Carroll Mee Rosenior

    2 FTs and 1.7m ITB, Willian to Pogba is good?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Bertrand for Beavis and save other ft

  30. AC Pilkington
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    My bench consists of Elliot, Lowe and Mee.

    Oh and I WC out KDB, Gross and Kane

    Is that a rough with the smooth contender?

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Just rough that mate

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Similar bench Elliott, Lowe, and danilo...63 points, 23on bench

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

      Extremely rough
