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

    Will one of Bennett's 2 games out be served in the FA Cup game, so he'll miss GW30, blank in 31 and be back for DGW32?

        I say he is dropped this weekend given Sarri’s comments.

        Definitely one of the most vulnerable to rotation.

                How did you so confidently come to that conclusion?

                He started v Spurs on Wednesday, therefore a chance he is one of the 3/4 rotated for Fulham game.

          Indeed

          I think there will be a right battle to sign him and i hear he is been looked at as a long term replacement for Man City's Fernandinho.

          He reminds me of a young Roy Keane.

                  That's true of course. I could get in Fraser without taking out Fanny though. Would mean more players for GW31.

        Rondon isn't fit to lace Fernando Amorebieta's boots, let alone be considered the greatest Venezuelan to have played in the PL.

        Out with the missus all day, the last time I checked BBC sport it had Pogba down as scorer of the last goal. I could relax after that as it wasn't all a disaster. Lo and behold, to my amusement, I log on to see my captain with minus points. That is minus craic!
