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.

    About to do hazard and ward to sterling and alonso -4

    Weak bench for weekend but will hopefully do wimmer to masuaku for boxing day.

    Would give me this team with 0.7itb....how does it look.

    Fab (elliot)
    Alonso ota kenny (wimmer daniels)
    Salah cout sterling (c) richarlison rlc
    Kane dcl (morata)

    Thanks

          I can see you’re trying to get some city cover but I don’t like the thought of ditching hazard over those fixtures, yes he’s not scored well fpl wise in last 2 but he was their best player.

              I don't have the cash for that sadly..

              Clearly losing hazard is a gamble that may backfire....nut I'll have alonso and morata for boxing day.....

          Maybe Coutinho to Sterling. Sterling is the leader in the captain poll and Coutinho has a tough fixture with Arsenal. But do not ask me because I am not so good in this game.

            Sterling got a lot of points in the last games. In any case it is really risky to go without a City midfielder or striker.
