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.

    If D.Silva is ruled here is my moves for a hit?

    D.Silva to Sterling
    Morata to Aguero

    Both players being taken out would subsequently score a combined 0 points so its a win win situation I believe

        I'm leaning to this for the reason I'd have a better squad depth gw21 when he blanks.

        Benching a keeper isn't an issue. A defender blank and kane blank becomes more concerning with xmas rotation

        He scored, then shoved the ball under his jersey. Then did a weird thumb sucking thing and got a strop on when a Bournemouth player tried to get the ball back. Then the ball fell out the jersey and he booted it away right in front of the ref. Then he had the audacity to complain. He must have wanted a few days off.
