Dugout Discussion – Watford vs West Ham

2,543 Comments
Share

Sunday’s solitary fixture gets underway at 4pm as Watford welcome West Ham United to Vicarage Road.

The Hornets’ Richarlison is still searching for his first home goal since signing in the summer, with all four of his strikes arriving on the road.

Nonetheless, the young Brazilian – who is the most popular Fantasy Premier League asset from today’s encounter, with 18% ownership – has still supplied points against both Liverpool and Arsenal in front of his own fans.

Those holding Richarlison will be keeping a keen eye on his performance today – after next week’s trip to Newcastle has passed, Watford are braced for a run of three testing fixtures (MUN TOT bur).

West Ham roll up on the back of the worst defensive record in the opening 11 Gameweeks, having conceded 23 times.

They’ll be desperate for shoots of improvement under David Moyes, though they need to make do without injured top scorer Chicharito. The new Hammers boss hands Andy Carroll a first start since Gameweek 7 in light of his fellow forward’s absence.

It’s a sign of the visitors’ malaise that the Mexican is their only outfield player with more than 2% ownership in FPL.

And with clashes against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal just around the corner in Gameweek 17-19, that lack of interest is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          I dont think he will. Looks like he clicked decently with Watford. Could easily play it out, finish top 10 and look at his options next year (and there should be a plethora of them).

            This, it's often said managers are crazy and I'd agree with that. Just look at Coleman going to Sunderland but the logical thing is for him to stay for the rest of the season, the Everton job could really harm his stock if it goes pear-shaped.

    Hazard Salah Richarlison Gross
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    Pope Dunk T.Carroll Mbemba

    My dilemma is this.
    With 2 big hitters up front and Hazard, Salah and Azpi its hard to get any city coverage in. My plan was alway to take hazard out for sane this week when chelsea are away to Liverpool then bring morata in next week but with him scoring big this week and concerns over Abraham it doesn't feel right.

      I would actually sell both lowe and stones. Think about it as Francis and stones definitely out, so max defenders available is 3. If one fails to play you'll be down to 2. So a bit of -4 now gets you a defender that plays and probably gets 2pts at minimum so really it's a 2pt hit. And with 3 games in 8 days from next sat you need guaranteed players. Jones might not play sat and wed but should. Gomez will probably play one of the two but both have CL mid week so could pick up I.
