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.

      Only in my private zone 🙂

  3. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Which one?

    a) Silva to Sterling for a hit and play RLC
    b) Morata and RLC to Austin and Sterling for -8 and keep Silva in case he starts.

    Thanks guys.

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Stick with both Morata and Silva unless you have no.captain choice this gw. Then I would do Silva to Sterling

  4. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Niasse to Quaner for a FT? I can then do RLC to Dilva if he's declared fit tomorrow.

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      RLC to Dilva for a hit that is

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sure. You need to get rid of Niasse anyway.

  5. Bleach †
    • 9 Years

    Captain: 🙂

    A) Sterling
    B) Salah
    C) Kane

    1. Totti

      Tweets for BC. Mustafi should play I think.

      1. Totti
        • 9 Years

        sorry what is BC?

          Kiko and Ward, both out.

            good luck 🙂

  7. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Ogbonna or Masuaku?

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Ogbonna because he's more nailed

    2. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      masuaku for the attcking role

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Masuaku more attacking prowess and likely to get a bigger haul but Ogbonna is sure-on nailed. Masuaku may get rotated during Christmas period too, so I'd lean towards Ogbonna

    4. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      i went masuaku..

    5. Scratch
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Masuaku is hilarious to watch, but Ogbonna

    6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nobody knows - not even me - wait until GW 22

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        This

    7. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Decisions, decisions... Lets all hope that Fonte's injury is a lengthy one (sorry pal)

    8. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      King

    9. electrue
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Ogbonna... just

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Transfer made, he just about edges it for me. If Moyes switches to a 4-4-2, then you would think that Cresswell plays at LB

  8. acidicleo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Hi guys..

    GW 19 - 21 : Morata to Lukaku (-4)
    GW 22 : Lukaku to Kane

    Yes or no?

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      gameweek 20 and 21 i think you'll need morata more than any other striker

      1. Sideways Backwards
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Morata is pony

      2. acidicleo
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        hmm.. i am thinking about it..
        but has got alonso and hazard from chelsea...DDG and Jones from Utd..
        Kaku seems to nick 2 or 3 bonus with 1 goal somehow!!

    2. Sideways Backwards
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Do the switch to Lukaku, and re-evaluate back to Kane later

  9. England23
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    So is Lanzini back for DGW?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yes he would be.

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        The game against Arsenal counted as one, and the next 2 add up to 3.

        1. acidicleo
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          its only 2 match ban..isnt it?

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 2 months ago

            Sorry, yes. My point was there are 3 games including Arsenal game before the DGW, so his 2 match ban would end by then and he'd be available Bou(A)

  10. Arsenal USA FC
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Chupo/Morata -> Lingard/Jesus for a -4?

    1. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      jesus unlikely to start!!
      so no..

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      No way

      1. Arsenal USA FC
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Wasn’t he taken off midweek and aguero played the full 90+?

        1. IRBOX âš½
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero didn’t feature, Jesus played 120

  11. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Lot of -4s and -8s going around this week.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Means we get a head start

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        That is what I am thinking.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      -12 possibly.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        For you TM?

      2. *Reformed-Character*
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Sheeeeeeeep

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lots of captaincys banking on city also & ignoring Kane

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I’m with the city(c). Expect them to put 4 past bmouth

    4. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Feels like my rank will have improved by a couple of K before a ball has been kicked ahead of this GW.

  12. GinjaWhinja
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Got double Chelsea defence and will have to play Calvert Lewin against them both if I don't do this...

    Azpi + Albrighton out for Pogba + Ogbonna (-8 worth it)?

  13. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Morata > Kun/Kaku for free?

    Or

    Play DCL/Kabasele?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      ?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Im keeping.. mostly because I need the funds for later transfers. If you got a decent captain option, id recommend the same for you. Chelsea got great fixtures coming up

    2. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I'd keep Morata, Kun will likely get rotated with Jesus and now that Ibra has made his first start of the season I'm just going to guess that he'll start one over the Christmas period now, not sure who I'd pick though, maybe Kabasele.

  14. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Pick a captain

    A) Lukaku
    B) Hazard
    C) Sterling
    D) Salah
    E) Coutinho

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      C

    2. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling or Salah for me.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…

    Thinking just Kiko --> Ogbonna and leave it at that?

    Foster
    Jones - Kiko - Mee
    Hazard - Sterling - Salah - Richarlison
    Kane - DCL - Firmino

    Elliot - Carroll - Maguire - Long [1FT + 2.1m ITB]

    1. THFC4LIFE

  16. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    8 years, 2 months ago

    Current squad with 2 FTs and £0.1m ITB:

    Pope Elliott
    Alonso Mee Otamendi Daniels Kiko
    Hazard RLC Richarlison Salah Coutinho
    Firmino Kane Niasse

    A) Kane -> Aguero and Kiko -> Ogbonna
    C) Hazard/Coutinho -> Sterling and Kiko -> Ogbonna
    D) Combination of above for -4
    E) Something else

    Opinions appreciated!

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Personally I'd do Coutinho + Kiko --> Sterling + Ogbonna.

      You have enough Liverpool with Salah and Firmino. I just have this horrible feeling that Kane will get points which is why I've kept him in my side.

    2. minges
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I think worry about the non playing niasse and injured players first. Kiko to ogbonna

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Niasse already dropped. No reason to use a ft on getting him out, as he is likely to be subbed on when Chelsea takes the lead

  17. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Everyone gearing towards a Haz-Salah-Pogba + 2 city midfield?

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Plus other Nostradamus mixes

    2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Nope - locked out of Pog because of DDG - Pereira - Jones oops

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Pereira is a trap at 3.9

        1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Needed the moneys, no regrets

        2. barracuda
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          Not really, I found a way

    3. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Yep, but probably not until after DGW so I can ditch Kane for funds.

    4. Brosstan
      • 11 Years

      Lingard>Pogba

    Have you ever captained a Goalie?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Noper

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Must be a funny weekend 😀

    2. Oven Glover
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Seems to have it’s merits in a dgw.

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        I would agree with this. Melons though

      2. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Would probably (c) DDG if Utd have a reasonably easy DGW

    3. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I captained Tim Howard about 6 years ago for a double game week. Didn't pay off, of course!

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 months ago

        Nah but I did captain Caulker one week.

        Got 12pts

        1. Stokelona
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          I still remember captaining Gary Cahill years ago when he played for Bolton. He scored and I was very smug walking into the common room at school on the Monday!

        2. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 2 months ago

          That's decent. around 2010/11 Baines (C) was a solid pick when Everton used to pick up CS, get pens and he used to take every dead ball.

    4. Stokelona
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      I did DDG in a dgw last season and he got 2 clean sheets. Mourinho was rotating for Europa so he was the only good option

  20. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    Anything worth a hit or good to go?

    Fabianski
    Bellerin Otamendi Ake
    Salah Ritchie KDB Sterling
    DCL Kane Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Zeegalar Tarkowski

    1.3m ITB

    1. benpilmer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 months ago

      Lingard might be worth a go instead of Ritchie. Cheap way into the Man U attack

  21. hannesdela
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 months ago

    If you had to choose one pair (won't necessarily play every GW):

    Worth losing Kiko to Zanka for a hit? Would probably sit on the bench anyway, but might play over Mee...

    Morata suspension has thrown up a problem for me this week. No FT left and 0.2 in the bank.

    Team:
    Courtois
    Mee,Smalling,Naughton, (Holgate, Rangel)
    Pogba,Salah, Hazard,Lingard Surman
    Kane (C), Austin, (Morata)

    Any suggestions?

      You have kept Rangel for way too long. Should have been a priority earlier on.

      Keep Morata imo or switch him to firmino and upgrade Rangel to a premium defender next week

        Cheers, subbed him in a few week ago to free u cash and never had the freedom to shift him out!

        Thanks again!

      Tough one. Probably B because of KDB and Morata suspension.

    Feel slightly uneasy that loads around me are selling Kane like he’s a championship cart horse.

    Meanwhile, I have the armband on him and it hasn’t changed once

    A) Dullard - Play D. Gray, bench Morata
    B) Maverick - Morata, Gray, Richarlison > Austin, Sterling (C), Pogba for a -12

    I've been stuck around 200-400K, since GW 7, and I really just want to go hit-tastic. Bit rash/not rash enough?!

        I'm thinking of taking Kane out as part of a -12

      -12 sounds a bit....half-hearted?
