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

    Its not painful if you haven't captained pogba. Ownership is so high that we shouldn't be worried at all

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Its brilliant if you didn't captain Pogba 🙂

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Pogs Sonny Auba Kun Sterling all blank
        Having Vardy and higuain C feels good!

          I just know Hazard will get a hattrick tomorrow. His ability to troll me knows no bounds

          1. Halftime Lemon
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I was all set to bring in Hazard but decided not to and keep Antonio after reading the differentials article.
            Antonio benched and can guarantee Hazard hauls now.

          Bold captaining Higuain. I went for Salah

          1. Peter Ouch
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Still better than pogs

  2. Shultan
    • 10 Years

    Need fabianski & diop to save my GW

  3. Plagued by indecision
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    24 points. Hoping Anderson and Higuaín save the week.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How many players? If you have 6 or more left to play you are in a good position

    2. Podge
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sames

    3. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      8pts so far from 4, with sterling c bringing in 6, why cry over 24?!

  4. DantheManinaPan

    Just checked my team.

    Bloomin Pogba 🙁

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Brilliant isn’t it

  5. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    I don't feel too bad now seeing thousands of other mugs who captained him. Maybe I can just put it down to bad luck again.

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It certainly is a mugs game

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Cheer up lad Az mark jonty andy david and tm all had captiency fails 😉

  6. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba top captain in top ten k by miles. 39% captained.
    Add to that raheem and Sergio as two and three and nearly 3/4 of the top ten k are getting a blank at best.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hoping for a Salah brace and CS tomorrow now

  7. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Az bench. Wow thats rough 😉

    Boruc(6) Jota(10) AWB(6) Digne(LIV)

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Digne brace incoming

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That bench is far too 'good'...those funds should be used on starters.

  8. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    20 points with 6 to play. Come on hazard(c)!

    1. Tev
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

    2. Says
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Also have Pog, Auba and Doherty and 4 other players that blanked. What can you do, just bad luck.

  10. Deulofail
    • 10 Years

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

  11. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Pogba(c) btw.

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      3 points, 7 to play. not sure what is worse!

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Think youll be fine.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      2 points 8 to play but difficult to say if its worse

    3. E25
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      This must be a troll

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Huh

    Doherty over AWB wondrous

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Barnes & Bats could rob AWBs BAP 😮

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      Hopefulyl

  15. Boxwoods
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Brooks sub off tactical/for rest, as opposed to hurt again in today’s match?

    1. GertJan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think a bit of both...

      Keep in mind he has just returned from injury and is not fully match fit yet.

      1. Boxwoods
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, realize match fitness may be an issue. Looking at bringing him in for next GW. Just hoping to confirm no bad news today. Cheers

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    It's fantasy football... It's just unfortunate luck. Only people who take penalties are at risk of missing them. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and Pog captainers would likely make the same decision if presented with it again.

    Unlucky everyone.

    Best wishes,

    Haz (C)

      2. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Hopefully he misses 5 and gets sent off for fighting with Higuain

  17. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years

    Live rank up 200 places 7200 to 7000 although have Guiata Patricio Doherty Son Aguero Sterling Pogba...

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Probably because you've played so many today

  18. Amey

      Hopefully you all are correct

  19. Godfrey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    17 from 3 and I have a small red arrow. Hazard (C) could be crucial tomorrow.

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That’s a good score - only reason for the red arrow is everyone else has used up 7 players. Potential big green arrow incoming

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Good score

  20. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Had no place to hide with no Aguero, Sterling, Pogba, Rashford, Auba, Doherty etc. in the team. I hope Higuain, Hazard(C), Vardy, Rondon Anderson etc do something to gain some ground on rivals and OR now. Need it real bad!

    1. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      There is a fine line between insanity and genius

  21. arkom
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Now Salah as my team captain looks pretty good. Sure Hazard as well! :p

  22. FPL Pillars
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Jimmy and Barnes score and Aguero plays 89mjns and gets FA!

  23. Vamos
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Live rank is telling me I have a green arrow with 22 points and only one return. Hell, it's a stinking week so far.

    1. MTPockets

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

  29. Brosstan
    • 11 Years

    Salah cappers will be the big winners this week.
