The Technical Area – West Ham Under Analysis

21 December 2017 2094 comments

After a lumbering start to the campaign which saw West Ham mired in the relegation zone after 11 Gameweeks, it appeared only to take a change in defensive personnel and an unlikely Scottish saviour to salvage the club from the brink of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) irrelevance.

Over the last three Gameweeks, the Hammers have now taken an unlikely seven points from a trio of match-ups against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Stoke City. More impressively still, their rearguard has remained impenetrable over this span – racking up three successive clean sheets.

Can David Moyes’ men continue this impressive run of form; or is their recent uptick in results merely a mirage?

This week’s Technical Area will be evaluating West Ham’s prospects for the second half of our campaigns, as we run the rule over their top FPL assets for the remainder of the season.

    Obviously it is looking pretty grim suspension/injury wise. Very tempted by major surgery. Any advice?

    A) Dullard option. Move Kiko to WH def.

        Is De Bruine worth that extra cash if you compared to Sane/Sterling?

        Getting Rooney this week for a hit doesn't sound like a very good move. Austin and KDB looks better

          I could probably bring Hazard too,but i guess City players this week are essential.i do have Sane already...

      I have a dilemma of moving out Morata for a hit. Gut says keep

    Is this TOO much midfield?

    Salah / KDB / Hazard / Sterling / Pogba

    Firmino / Austin / DCL

    Thanks.

      Not at the minute, looks great. I'd look for a way to get Kane in for the DGW though.

      No, 5 is OK

      If seriously - very good. The way to go IMO, much more productive than strikers.

    Gomes
    Alonso Ogbonna Naughton
    Hazard Gross RLC Coutinho KDB
    Firmino Quaner

    Pereira Hunemeier Kenny Morata

    Have a feeling that Hune can make 6 pts this GW in absence of Duffy. Is it worth to start him, and for whom if yes?
