Arnautovic on the bench again for West Ham

1,011 Comments

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

            Ever since United 0-0 Palace at Old Trafford, I'd say he has been the best centre back in the league, behind only VVD.

          I don't think Lindelof was ever not getting picked. He's been brilliant for me. Maybe benching one of the Liverpool defenders was an option given a feisty derby.
