The best West Ham FPL options for their favourable fixtures

1,111 Comments
Share

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.

    Bilva or Gundogan as a short-term punt? Already have Sterling & Sane... Is there any other options? (Siggy out)

        I'm a Siggy owner. I'm not so sure. See. No returns in next two and Richarlison is slowly proving himself as the best option. Regardless of stats

          Yeah. Also in my ML in the top 5 i am the only one with Siggy. Rich elsewhere.. Get Bilva for two weeks then get Rich or something like that. Thoughts?

      Stats say keep Sigurdsson, but it must have been hard watching Richarlison take all the points over the last couple of games, so probably Bernardo if you want to triple up on City.

              There's an element of recall bias at play here. You're more likely to remember the times the Kane captaincy has gone wrong because those are the most memorable/painful ones. The reality is that most of the time he will get average returns, something like 6-9 points, which in itself is less memorable. On occasion he will do something like a hat-trick or a blank, which stands out more.

      This may need simplifying a bit.

    Instantly regret the Laca punt as my Arnie replacement, would you take a hit to remove him?

    I am thinking Laca and Bennet to Mitro and Kola for a -4

    Fab Button
    Dohery Digne TAA Bennet Alonso
    Anderson Sane Sterling Rich Mctominay
    Kane Laca Wilson

      Not for a hit to get Mitro who's a YC away from suspension.

      I wouldn't change Laca yet. However - if you have to - rather use the funds saved on Mitro to upgrade Mctominay - I think a playing 5th mid is essential for the next 6 GW's, especially with Sane and Sterling in your team.

        cheers, that gives me 7.4m for Mctominary replacement, out of interest, who would you go for?

        I hate having double wolves defensive, Doherty I dont mind due to goals but Bennett is annoying. Suppose I can move to AWB/Schindler/Chambers around that price but thought Kola offers a good route into Arsenal. If i do my suggested moves, its gives my 6.6m on my Mctominay replacement the following week for free

          I think you have a good back 4, with Bennet as decent bench fodder to step in when TAA gets rotated. You can always solve that problem later. For 7.4 you could go with some of the usual (Siggy, Martial etc.) suspects, but I think Pererya from Watford might be an interesting punt. They have some great fixtures coming up, and he's only 6.2m. You can use the 1.2m to upgrade Bennet the following week, if you so choose.

    Is Dilva & Lacazette > Sterling & Mitrovic for a -4 good transfers?

    Don't see a good straight replacement for Dilva and Lacazette could easily be benched.

      Yes, good captain option as well but obviously wait until after tonight.

      Can you do Silva > Son for free? I wouldn't take a hit to remove Lacazette, could easily return this week even from the bench.

      Dilva > Son? Mitro a 5th YC risk...

    Fabianski, Hamer
    Alonso, Robertson, TAA, Kolasinac, Doherty
    Salah, Martial, Richarlison, Anderson, Fraser
    Auba, Wilson, Jimenez

    I have no players from City but I'm not sure if that matters.
    Is it worth Martial & Jimenez to Sane and Kamara?
    Martial averages 5.8 ppg and Sane has 5.9 ppg, combined with the downgrade of striker it doesn't seem like a good move.
