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, 7 days ago

      Its brilliant if you didn't captain Pogba 🙂

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

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

        1. TheDragon
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

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

          1. Halftime Lemon
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 7 days 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.

        2. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

          Bold captaining Higuain. I went for Salah

          1. Peter Ouch
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 7 days ago

            Still better than pogs

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      i wanted him to miss that pen as a owner loll.Its great

      1. Peter Ouch
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Same with Salah last gw.
        Those two same boat if you don't C them

  2. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Need fabianski & diop to save my GW

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

    24 points. Hoping Anderson and Higuaín save the week.

    1. TheDragon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days 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, 7 days ago

      Sames

    3. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

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

  4. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Just checked my team.

    Bloomin Pogba 🙁

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Brilliant isn’t it

  5. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 days 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.
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      It certainly is a mugs game

    2. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

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

  6. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 days 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, 7 days ago

      Hoping for a Salah brace and CS tomorrow now

  7. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 days ago

    Az bench. Wow thats rough 😉

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

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Digne brace incoming

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

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

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

      1. Tev
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        That’s insane, yeah last 4 weeks or so have been stupidly polarised in terms of luck

      2. Says
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

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

    4. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Absolutely buzzing for Boruc's points off the bench

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years

      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

          • 13 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

      3. E25
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        This must be a troll

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

      7 years, 7 days ago

      Doherty over AWB wondrous

    8. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

      Barnes & Bats could rob AWBs BAP 😮

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Hopefulyl

    9. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

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

      1. GertJan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 days 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, 7 days 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

      7 years, 7 days ago

      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,

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

    11. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years

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

    13. Godfrey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

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

      1. TheDragon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 days 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, 7 days ago

        Good score

    14. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days 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
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        There is a fine line between insanity and genius

    15. arkom
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

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

    16. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 days ago

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

    17. Vamos
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 days 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
          7 years, 7 days ago

          avg is 18

      2. Garlana

          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 days ago

          No one deserved bps from that game.

      7. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 days ago

        Salah cappers will be the big winners this week.
