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.

    As good as Felipe is he is becoming a grade-A troll

    He will return against Man City now after being sold to cement his status as crown prince of Trolls behind King Hazard of Trollshire

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Probably. He's on my bench for that game I think. Him Bednarek(FUL) or Camarasa if fit competing for one spot

    2. Kiwivillan

    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    1. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years

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

      I’d give the game up if it ever led to me feeling ‘terrified’ about something

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        It's called hyperbole
