Another start for Diangana as Stanislas ruled out with injury

Grady Diangana (£4.5m) is set for his third consecutive start for West Ham as they travel to Huddersfield Town today.

He registered an assist in his last outing to put himself on the Fantasy Premier League radar and could be on the hunt for more returns at the John Smith’s Stadium.

The youngster is once again used in wide midfield with Felipe Anderson (£6.9m) on the other flank.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield have lined-up with a 3-5-1-1 formation for another crucial home match.

Leicester City are indeed without James Maddison (£7.0m) and Harry Maguire (£5.5m) for the visit of Burnley.

Jonny Evans (£4.8m) and Rachid Ghezzal (£5.2m) come in for the absent pair.

Burnley’s ongoing roundabout of forwards continues into yet another week as Chris Wood (£6.2m) is paired with Sam Vokes (£5.3m) up front for the Clarets.

Ayoze Pérez (£6.1m) and Salomon Rondon (£5.7m) lead Newcastle’s line with Fabian Schär (£4.6m) making his first start since Gameweek 3 to replace the injured Jamaal Lascelles (£4.8m).

Bournemouth are without Josh King (£6.3m) once again which allows David Brooks (£5.1m) to play in an advanced position for the second week in a row.

Junior Stanislas (£6.0m) was ruled out between the week’s press conference and the release of the team sheet meaning Jordon Ibe (£5.1m) starts on the right flank. BBC Solent Sport are reporting a groin injury for Stanislas.

Isaac Success (£4.6m) makes his third start in a row for Watford at Southampton with Troy Deeney (£5.9m) fit enough only for the bench.

Huddersfield Town XI (3-5-1-1): Lössl; Zanka, Schindler, Kongolo; Hadergjonaj, Mooy, Hogg, Billing, Löwe; Pritchard; Mounie.

West Ham United XI (4-1-4-1): Fabianski; Zabaleta, Diop, Balbuena, Cresswell; Rice; Diangana, Snodgrass, Obiang, Felipe Anderson; Arnautovic.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Hart; Lowton, Long, Mee, Taylor; Berg Gudmundsson, Defour, Cork, Lennon; Vokes, Wood.

Newcastle United XI (4-4-1-1): Dubravka; Yedlin, Schär, Federico Fernández, Dummett; Ritchie, Ki, Diamé, Kenedy; Ayoze Pérez; Rondón.

Bournemouth XI (4-4-1-1): Begovic; Francis, Cook, Aké, Smith; Ibe, Cook, Lerma, Fraser; Brooks; Wilson.

Southampton XI (4-4-2): McCarthy; Cédric Soares, Hoedt, Yoshida, Bertrand; Armstrong, Højbjerg, Lemina, Redmond; Ings, Gabbiadini.

Watford XI (4-4-2): Foster; Kiko Femenía, Cathcart, Mariappa, Holebas; Doucouré, Chalobah; Deulofeu, Hughes, Pereyra; Success.

  15. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Diangana hahah
    i was really near to bring Patterson or Kenedy, but thats how fantasy work 😀

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Knew I should’ve captained Rondon why am I always so unlucky

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        as i said this is how fantasy work, last week i bring Sterling and C him and i had a lot lucky and this Gw no

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years

    time to sell arnie

    1. Sif
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      3/10
      at least follow up with somethings eg: "legs have gone"

  17. Rider on the Storm
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I knew i was right about rondon...
    If only i had bought him instead of wilson

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      So you weren’t right then

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        😀

  18. Pooodle
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Maddison injured. Do all my research. See that Fraser has great stats.

    End up bringing in Gudmundsson. Goodness sake.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Lol

      1. Pooodle
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        The one thing I really need to stop doing is being put off buying someone just because they’ve increased in price a lot already.

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          Same. I don't know what it is - Fraser is great value for money, but just the knowledge that I could've had him for 5.5 in the beginning is putting me off. Totally irrational.

          1. Pooodle
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah so frustrating. Still great value at 6.1m but just makes me hesitant.

            1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 7 months ago

              Will rise tonight.

              1. Pooodle
                • 15 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                Got to hope Gudmundsson does something against Newcastle next week - seems silly to now switch to Fraser before City away even if it’s the right long term move.

              2. Pierce34
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 7 months ago

                I might actually get a jammy (and totally unwarranted) price rise from Pereyra, so can afford to wait.

  19. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Diagana will be my 3rd bench spot anyways so not too bothered... better than having H-Odoi there 🙂

    1. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Except when you are 0.1/0.2 short of the perfect transfer.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Got 1.1 itb rn and wildcarding in 2/3 weeks with transfers in mind that are safe. Ill keep an eye but should be fine 🙂

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I might be bringing in H-Odoi if Ings in crocked.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      When the suspensions and injuries clear up next gameweek I think he will end up the same - not starting 😉

  20. Pooodle
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    I hope no one is bothering to do so, but just in case anyone is watching the Southampton match did Ings’ injury look bad?

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Need Soton to concede

      1. Pooodle
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure that’s really very relevant to the extent of Ings’ injury...

    2. altan8797
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      wondering the same

  21. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Diangana was a huge trap but the lure of an attacking & starting magic bean was too much 🙂

  22. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Rondon Patterson Bemba my punts all paying off..

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      And dunk too..

      1. Patch
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry your team link does not seem to reflect that...

      2. Pooodle
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        That sounds like a good week and a very questionable team.

        1. Chenku╰☆╮
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          That's how FPL works. Pick left field and do well. Look at Mark.

          1. Pooodle
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Yes but having one good week doesn’t work if every other week they don’t score well.

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Link to your team buddy?

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        I don't like ppl stalking my team.

        1. Patch
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          That is some crazy genuine punts then!

          1. Pooodle
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Lol he’s winding you up. He doesn’t have any of those players he’s just showing off.

            1. Planet Head
              • 7 Years

              Ha yeah. General rule of thumb = link or it never happened

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

  23. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        I kept Chilwell, but Burnley look close to scoring.

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. Pereira is great for the 0-0

  25. Am sorry to say again it�…

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Injured.

    2. Pooodle
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Injury it sounds like

    3. Mo Mané Mo Problems
      • 10 Years

    4. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Hamstring injury I think

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Preserving him for Fulham in 2 weeks

  26. Ha.

    Please, Sir, may I have some points?

    1. diesel001

      POOOOIIIIINTS!??

  27. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Redmond what an idiot, focused on the ref more than his teammates.

  28. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Right. What the F happened to Diangana. Was he injured?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Tactical.

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      I think he was just terrible

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Just shite.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Tactical. Either way, doesn't bode well with Noble back.

    5. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Rest before City apparently

  29. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    West Ham are excellent at conceding chances from nothing.

  30. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    How on Earth is that not a Watford penalty?

    1. MTPockets
        5 years, 7 months ago

        indeed
