Arnautovic on the bench again for West Ham

Marko Arnautovic (£6.8m) has been named on the bench again for West Ham.

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.1m) leads the line against Newcastle in the Saturday evening kick-off.

That means Arnautovic has started just once in the last six Gameweeks.

Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m) continues his comeback as he earns his first start in 293 days after a bad injury.

He looks to be operating in the middle of a three-man attacking midfield, flanked by Felipe Anderson (£7.2m) and Robert Snodgrass (£5.0m).

Fabian Balbuena (£4.2m) is still not fit enough for the matchday squad, which means Angelo Ogbonna (£4.2m) and Issa Diop (£4.3m).

The main Fantasy interest in the Newcastle side will be focussed around Salomón Rondón (£5.9m), owned by 8.1%.

He starts up front in the 5-4-1 formation favoured by Rafa Benitez with Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) providing the width.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Fredericks; Rice, Noble; Anderson, Lanzini, Snodgrass; Chicharito.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Manquillo, Lascelles, Lejeune, Schär, Ritchie; Ayoze Pérez, Hayden, Longstaff, Almirón; Rondón

      Jammy devil.

      Most people under 25 pts I'd imagine.

      22 with plenty to go tomorrow at least and Salah capt

      I'm on 16. 16 points.

    5. BIG TONES

      28 with Sterling cap fail. Basically need Salah to keep quiet tomorrow, but unlikely imo.

      Sad emoji didn't do much to disguise your not so subtle brag

      1. Tcheco

        22 with Pogba ultra captain fail + 3 to go

      I've been here long enough to know that's a completely unsubtle brag.

        • 14 Years

        He is telling the truth. He has Rice and Lioris and Jimmy

    9. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      3 with 6 (+c) to go 🙂

      Sad face . You know fine well that's a good score.

    11. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      22, by the looks of it. Salah, Robbo, Alisson and Pereira to go.

      miles better than me

      looking like 29 with pereira salah robbo higuain to go, after AWB benched, sterling(c) fail and pogba blunder

    13. SM001
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      17 with 23 on the bench. Beat that.

  2. MTPockets

      West Ham vs car/HUD, but who if any to actually get in?

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Feeling punty? Lanzini

        1. MTPockets
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I'm not feeling that punty when won't have a bench if he doesn't play

        2. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Fabianski/Diop/Rice

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 3 months ago

              Feels wrong, but you may be right about defence over attackers
              Also means can hold onto Aguero, Pogba etc

            Lazini or Arnie and hope he start.

            1. MTPockets
                5 years, 3 months ago

                I'd been planning on Arnie but quickly going off the idea

                  Personally looking at Lei/Bou assets for now, with better gw33 fixtures.

                      Good point on 33. I keep reverting back to Vardy, but already have Pereira/Barnes so seems overkill
                      Bournemouth have great fixtures, if they'd just pick up form

              • Goat

                I’m thinking of switching Anderson to Maddison. Depending on tomorrow

              OH EM GEE! Flappy kept a CS. And with those 28 points, I get a green arrow which is bigger than it should be because of how shite my OR is

            3. how now brown cow

              26 from 8 including capt. anyone worse?

              1. SM001
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Plenty. Me included.

              Seems like i was the only one getting Lukkau today. Strange

              1. dansmusen
                • 6 Years
                5 years, 3 months ago

                Also sold Jota for a -4 so pretty much braging about nothing

                5 years, 3 months ago

                Well done. I guess his price would require many to take hits

                1. dansmusen
                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 3 months ago

                  Got him fort Aguero so a big win. Jota was only for the scaremongers 🙁

              Despite Southampton next for Son, I’m thinking this for free:
              Rashford, Son > King, Mane

              Look OK? Solid fixtures for King and Mane, and preps for bgw31.

              How did Brooks play lads? Thinking of bringing him in.
