The main Fantasy Premier League interest tonight is on West Ham as they prepare for a favourable home match with Fulham.

Felipe Anderson (£7.2m) will be the key asset, starting on the left flank of attacking midfield and lining up against the Cottagers weak right side.

However, there was frustration for those who had turned to Marko Arnautovic (£6.8m) as he was named on the bench, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.1m) leading the attack in his place.

The Austrian now has just one start in the last five Gameweeks with no injury currently reported by manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Alongside Arnautovic on the West Ham bench is Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m), who has finally returned from the injury he sustained in pre-season.

Owned by 0%, the Argentinian could prove a powerful differential in the Blank Gameweeks if he can rediscover his form from last season.

Claudio Ranieri has opted for a four-man defence at the London Stadium with Joe Bryan (£4.8m) and Denis Odoi (£4.4m) flanking Tim Ream (£4.2m) and debutant Havard Nordtveit (£4.5m), who has been asked to drop into the back-line from midfield.

Meanwhile, Andre Schürrle (£5.5m) misses the trip to West Ham with a virus.

In Friday night’s other match, Sean Morrison (£4.7m) has returned to the heart of Cardiff’s defence.

That means Bruno Ecuélé Manga (£4.4m) shunts back along to right-back and pushes Joe Peltier (£3.9m) out of the match-day squad entirely.

Oumar Niasse (£5.0m) leads the line while Josh Murphy (£4.8m) and Callum Paterson (£5.0m) man the flanks.

There is still no return for Victor Camarasa (£4.6m) .

Adam Masina (£4.3m) comes in for the suspended Jose Holebas (£4.8m) while Ken Sema (£4.6m) drops to the bench to allow Roberto Pereyra (£6.1m) back into the side following injury.

Cardiff XI: Etheridge; Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Bamba, Bennett; Arter; Paterson, Bacuna, Ralls, Murphy; Niasse.

Watford XI: Foster; Janmaat, Mariappa, Cathcart, Masina; Doucouré, Capoue; Hughes, Pereyra; Deulofeu, Deeney.

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Diop, Zabaleta; Rice, Noble; Anderson, Antonio, Snodgrass; Chicharito.

Fulham XI: Rico; Odoi, Nordtveit, Ream, Bryan; Chambers, Seri; Babel, Cairney, Sessegnon; Mitrovic.

      My fullest sympathies, I've been waiting to make two free transfers all week scared of price rises and watching out for injured players then didn't realise there were games on tonight untilmi came to settle down with a cuppa. Bloomin annoying!!

        7 years, 5 months ago

        Same. Only one I haven't got. So basically he is going to do an Aguero and get a hat-trick.

    Why is the team news section on here not scrapped? Surely someone must be getting banned weekly with those lineups.
