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.

    Anderson quite poor tonight. Nowhere near the player who exploded in those few weeks before Christmas. Tired maybe.

    Couple of ML rivals have Deulofeu so that’s great. 😀

      I don’t think he’s had a rest has he?

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

        Played at least 56 minutes in every league game so far.

        Believe he was rested in the FA Cup - came on and scored at Wimbledon. But yeah no rests in the league at all - and imagine he’s not played a Christmas before.

    Congrats Deulofeu owners, didn't even consider him!

    AWB forced me into playing Snoddy who's been sat on my bench for ages, so I'll take that.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I probably keep rather than kneejerk out.

          If not, look to BGW31, maybe Maddison

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

            Will hve to play him next GW though, if not playing Puncheon.

            Madders might be an option.
