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.

        It is a difference if he will play only 30 minutes or 70, 80. Maybe a better question is "Will Kun start?"

    Holding midfielders should rack up extra points per tackle like keepers do for saves. So many players not a fantasy option.

      No, I wouldn't be getting rid of Kane and you'll be wanting Morata back after his 1 game bad

    What is better?

    A) Hazard and Ward -> de Breunye and Jones for free

    or

    B) Morata and Ward -> Kun and Tomkins for free.

    I currently have no City, is Daniels, RLC and Morata to Ota, Sterling and Depoitre for -8 madness or just do Sterling and Depoitre for -4?

      In the same situation. Looking at Morata out, but undecided between Rooney and Depoitre. Extra $$$ allows defensive upgrade.
