Gameweek 13 gets underway at the London Stadium as West Ham entertain Leicester in David Moyesโ€™ first home match in charge.

The Hammersโ€™ recent home form underlines the work at hand for their new manager โ€“ over the last two in front of their own supporters, theyโ€™ve scored one goal and conceded seven.

With that in mind, itโ€™s little wonder that โ€“ outwith the injured Chicharito (9%) โ€“ every West Ham outfield player sits in less than 2% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squads.

Weโ€™ll be keeping an eye on our Spot the Differential candidate Manuel Lanzini, who scored in the corresponding fixture last season and also netted in the Hammersโ€™ previous home match, against Liverpool in Gameweek 11.

While the hosts fell to defeat at Watford in Moyesโ€™ first match in charge, their visitors have found decent form under new manager Claude Puel.

Aside from last weekโ€™s 2-0 loss to league leaders Man City, the Foxes picked up four points in the Frenchmanโ€™s first two in charge, scoring twice on both occasions.

Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy found the net in the 3-2 win away to the Hammers last term and both remain the men most likely to punish Moyesโ€™ side.

Sitting in 4% of squads, Mahrez is certainly the form option tonight โ€“ heโ€™d bagged two goals and three assists in four prior to last weekโ€™s clash with City.

Vardy has frustrated his 13% backers with a single goal in six, yet with the fixtures turning in Leicesterโ€™s favour once their midweek clash with Spurs passes, he could yet re-emerge as a third forward option over the festive spell.

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

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Deadline has passed. Nothing you can do if it is real.

    2. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Don’t think so

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Hopefully

    4. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Heard this too and I literally tried to do Pogba > Sane (for free) just before the deadline but as soon as pressed confirmed it went to updated and I missed it.

      It was one of the million moves I considered, so not entirely last min panic.

      1. Jairzinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Lol when did you bring him in?

        1. Fred54
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          Oh don't worry, I got his points. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  9. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    • 8 Years

  11. df34
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Sky bet don’t fancy Vardy to score tonight , they keep Price boosting him above other players to score. As a Vardy owner I hope they are wrong!!

  12. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    How did Callum Wilson go from 104 on fpl stats to 67 ?

    1. Rainer

      Wildcards.

    2. Fred54

  16. Differentiator

    Good old Vardy. Have no intention of getting rid any time soon. Good value IMO

    Bought Alli this week!

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Good value at 8.5? Personally I cant wait to get rid.

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Same here.

    2. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      1 goal + 1 assist in the last 7 games at 8.5 and he is good value? Lmao

      1. Differentiator
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        I don't make buy/sell decisions based on the past, rather on my future expectations...

        1. lilmessipran
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 25 days ago

          So you assess if a player is good/bad value on the basis of what you predict you want from a player?RIP Analytics

          1. Differentiator
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 25 days ago

            Err. performance over whole season to date, not a cherry picked good or bad period.

            1. lilmessipran
              • 13 Years
              8 years, 25 days ago

              Isn't the game about having players you want for a cherry picked period and hence the concept of 1 FT each week?

    Who assisted albrighton?

    1. You want sum?
      • 10 Years

      Vardy I heard.

    2. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Vardinho

    3. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Why do you keep asking, your on the inetrnet woudlnt it be easier to just look yourself.
      Its was one of:
      A. Vardy
      B. Maguire

    4. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Maybe Vardy

    5. Point-one short

      Rodentinho.

  18. You want sum?

    I didn't get a 2hr deadline notification from the app?! Now I'm stuck with my team from last week, crap.

    What happened?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Casual

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      What was you waiting for?

      1. You want sum?
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Well it's been a busy week. I'm usually on top of it but could have done with a nudge from the app, as there usually is?

    3. Magic Bean
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Could be a blessing

      1. You want sum?
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        Wouldn't be the first time I've come out better than when I would have chosen my line up.

        Could work, but don't think my luck could be in twice.

      You missed the deadline

    Quick Q. when is Surman's potential going to be accurately reflected in RMT ? His next 6 game weeks predict 12 points total. yet he has BUR(H) SOT(H) & CRY(A) in next 3. Am I missing something? Jones has already been amended in RMT to reflect his likely ongoing injury.

    Ignorant or Observant ... you decide?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Do you expect more than 12?

      1. Ad4m
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        well he's averaged 4 points a game so far... so Yes

  21. columbo

    No Pogba spotted at their hotel? Apparently a few others weren't spotted though as well so could mean nothing

    1. Red Dagger โœช

      Backdoor man.

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Maybe he's not in the hotel.

  22. Red Dagger โœช

    Do you think Morata will rise tonight?

    He's 39.5% with FPLstats but 100.1% with fffix?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      I trust FPLS more.

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo

      1. ignis88
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 25 days ago

        didn't like the defence and fancied a bit of a change, it's only a game after all ๐Ÿ™‚

  26. Rains of Castamere
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Morata to rise tonight?

    100 on FFFix but only 39.5 on FPL Stats - strange.

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Fix is useless

    2. Kirton Hoops
      • 11 Years

      Morata at 33.3% on FFFix
