The best West Ham FPL options for their favourable fixtures

West Ham United’s nine goals in their last three matches have set them up as the latest Fantasy Premier League flavour of the month.

However, the recent injury to Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m) has changed the thought process for capitalising on the Hammers’ form and fixtures.

Felipe Anderson (£7.3m) seems to have been the go-to replacement but his midfield position means that he is not a direct alternative to Arnautovic.

So we’ve analysed the options at West Ham to see which offers the best potential in the coming weeks and which are the most affordable.

    Do we think Lacazette starts on Sunday?

    1. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah, would guess so.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years

      Doubtful

    3. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      My hopes are that Lacazette starts Sunday, and Auba starts Wednesday vs Spurs in the cup match

    To all Lacazette owners, we subbing him off if he starts this Thursday?

    1. sulav11
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why was laca subbed off so early?

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Keeping Laca until Kun is back. Money ready ITB

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Same.

        What you doing if Kun's back for GW18 though?

        Laca would have BUR...

    3. George James
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      if he starts Thursday he is gone for me I think

  5. EgyptianKing

    Hi mates

    Should I keep Son for this GW?

    Should I (also) bring Alli?

    1. Fitzy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you sell Son this GW?

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Because I am afraid he gets rested. You think he’ll start?

    2. sulav11
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I have Son as my captain

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Hope he delivera mate! You think he’ll start?

        1. PrettyDick
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Even if he doesn't start I'd say keep. He'll likely get minutes and Burnley H is one of the best fixtures you could want at the moment. And if he doesn't start he'll most likely start the next game.

          But always wise to wait for the presser and see if there are any news/hints in there. Lamela back could/will effect all the offensive mids playing time

          1. EgyptianKing
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Fair points. Cheers mate

    3. aspilcueta
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I had Son against Arsenal and took him out for Eriksen because I thought he would have a rest. Basically cost me my place in the cup and a place in my mini league. Got him straight back in.

  6. manu4life99
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Chelsea fixtures are great now why is Alonso being sold? Assume he would be essential now?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      He’s getting bought by those on here.

    2. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      People want the money to invest in midfield I guess

    3. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Can only assume that the masses are selling him purely to fund moves for expensive attackers.

      I won't be doing that.

      I TC'ed him against Cardiff, doubt it'll be as bad as that lol

    4. Shatner's Bassoon

  10. George James
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Really starting to consider Bernardo Silva as an option. in the 3 games this season where David Silva hasn't started Bernando has scored in all of them.

    Rich >> Bilva on the cards

  11. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one of these bums:

    A) Snoddy
    B) Salah
    C) Rich
    D) Fraser
    E) Sané

    1. George James
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      easily B 🙂

      1. SPorting
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        If only it were that easy.

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      C

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Salah.

      In all seriousness, Richarilson vs MCI.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      You should only really have 2 options listed there. You can’t seriously expect ux to believe you are considering benching Salah.

      1. SPorting
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I know but you have to list all MIDs because there's always someone who asks for the full team.

        Haven't made the move yet because it'll give me so many benching headaches:

        Ryan
        Alonso, Robbo, Laporte, Dohery
        Salah, Sané, Snoddy
        Kane, Mitro, Jimenez

        Button, Rich, Fraser, Balbuena

        Could easily play all my bench I guess.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          If bench Rich and possible Fraser. Just as you have.

    5. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Has to be A & D - Rich could easily score v city and benching Salah or Mané would be straight up crazy

      Snod or Fraser could return, but you’ll just have to take it on the chin or hope they autosub

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        thank god he don't own Mané ey 😉

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Lol Sané & Mané confuses my predictive text

  12. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Mane & Aguero to Aubameyang & Sane - yay or nay?

    1. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Yay!

    2. Kabayan
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If Kun fit, just Mane to Sane

    3. Rupert The Horse

    Any thoughts on my WC team?

    Leno Hamer

  14. konrad.sygula95
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    What would you do with this team? Assuming that Wilson will be fit for the next GW

    A) King to Mitrovic
    B) Siggy to B. Silva
    C) Dunk to Doherty
    D) King to Jimenez
    E) Something else

    Fabianski/Hamer
    TAA/Digne/Laporte/Dunk/Awb
    Salah/Sane/Siggy/F.Anderson/Gunnarson
    Kane/Wilson/King

  15. simong1
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    A or B? Struggling to decide between Salah & Sterling!

    A) Salah & Fraser (already have Wilson)
    B) Sterling & F. Anderson

    1. The 5% Team
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B for me

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B.

  16. Shatner's Bassoon
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    If Sterling gets a half decent rest tonight that makes the (C) decision a bit tougher for me between him and Kane.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      A bit. Not much.

      1. Shatner's Bassoon
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        You'd stick w/Kane?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          If there’s a game to captain him then this is it. There’ll be plenty of other opportunities to captain Sterling.

          1. Shatner's Bassoon
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Fair point

  17. EgyptianKing
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Kane, Son and Alli triple-up this GW seem a good idea? Or too much Spurs?

    1. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      With Lamela back, minutes will be shared. Can see Moura and Kane starting then at least two of Eriksen, Son, Alli, Lamela. Not bad to triple up with the following fixtures though, Spurs' form is improving and they create more chances than before.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Too much

  18. SirT83
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    A: Siggy and Zaha to Mahrez and Chicarito/Jimenez - (6.4 to spend on forward) - 4 points

    B: Zaha to Mitro/Wilson/Jimenez

    C: Siggy and Zaha to Bilva and Mitro/Wilson/Jimenez etc. (7.5 to use on forward) - 4 points

    Have Felipe on mid.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      B
      Wilson if fit
      Otherwise Jimmy

  19. Snipez21
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Any Changes For A Hit?

    Ederson
    Trent / Doherty / Alonso / AWB
    Sterling / Salah / Rich / F Anderson
    Wilson / Kane (C)

    (Hamer / Kamara / Dunk / Obiang )

      I'd kill for that team... Well done.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years

        kill who? 😮

  20. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Am i daft going without Kane for the next 5? My move has always been Salah+Arnie > Kane+Sane. Being top 10K im worried i’ll drop like a stone when Kane eventually hauls over christmas, he’s too easy of a captain choice to not have

    1. Planet Head
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      As a Kane owner, part of me is glad Salah had his haul as it'll mean lower Christmas Kanership.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      maybe you can try some way to have both? those moves looks fine btw

    3. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      If your objective is to keep / protect rank, you need to stick to the 10K template for most of your team - that's what I've done all season so far.

      Missing one player who hauls at 35% Ownership means losing a few thousand spots, missing 2 or more and you're out of the top 10K.

      Currently Kane, Wilson, Sterling and Rich all sit at 60%+. Auba, Hazard, Salah, Fraser, Doherty, Alonso, FAnderson, Sané are all at 35%+....

      Missing Kane and Fraser for example, and they combine for 35 points you'd struggle to stay in the 10K I'm guessing.

      Thats not even reckoning captaincy.....

      1. Cruyff's Eleven
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        I forgot Robbo and Hazard at 40%ish....sorry

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I'll immediately caveat this by agreeing that protecting rank is not the most exciting way to play the game....

          But I've never been this high before either.....

      2. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        So if 90% of top 10k bought Lukaku, you would too?

        1. Cruyff's Eleven
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Yes I would. I firmly believe that most of the top 10K are there for a reason other than luck, there is wisdom of the crowd involved. If this wisdom sees Lukaku as the next big thing, I'd go along unless team structure prevents or a worthy alternative is available.

  21. jon.terry.tfh
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone know the reason why mitrovic is subbed off at half time against utd? Super frustrating week with laca(C). Do we still think he will start this week? If not who is the best alternative? Auba is out of range. Max 10m

    1. Shatner's Bassoon
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      I don't know - but a fair assumption would be that Ranieri wanted to save him from a booking.

      With them 3-0 down anyway the game was gone, so CR was hoping to ensure his best goal threat would play vs WHU.

    2. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      No injury so tactical change. Kamara has been good after Ranieri's arrival but cant see Mitrovic not starting so maybe they ll start together next GW.

        It’s more to do with the state of your team prior to the transfers.

    Best David Silva replacement for £9.8M?

    Current team;

    Patricio / Hamer
    Robertson / Digne / Doherty / Bellerin / Duffy
    Sane / Sterling / *DSilva* / Richarlison /Murphy
    Kane / Rondon / Wilson

    Mainly considering Son (great fixtures, in form, will be rotated) or Mane (ok fixtures, covers Liverpool's attack, less rotation risk).

    1. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years

      Son bcs of better fixtures. Spurs seems like getting on form and Liverpool maybe going a bit to opposite direction at least what it comes for goals scored.

      Son is a good pick. I think Hazard may be worth a hit this week vs BHA

    I'm already feeling Auba was a mistake. I miss Salah.

    1. Miniboss
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Same, will bite the bullet and give Auba couple of more gws though.

    2. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Just wait few GW's and evaluate again

    Salah vs Sterling is really bugging me 🙁

    Any Salah owners thinking about selling for Sterling?

      No thank you.

    - unfortunately cant afford both, but if u had to pick...sterling or Auba? will def have Bilva if that helps

    Fabianski Button
    Alonso Kola Doherty Schindler Awb
    Hazard Rich Anderson Bilva XXX
    Kane XXX XXX

    A: Sterling + Mitro + Kamara
    B: Auba + + Mitro + Hojberg
    C: Auba + Sane + Kamara but also downgrade Bilva/Rich > Hojberg and play 442
