West Ham assets on Fantasy radar after win at Watford

Watford 1 West Ham United 3

Goals: Andre Gray (£5.9m)| Sebastien Haller (£7.4m) x2 Mark Noble (£5.0m)

Assists: Will Hughes (£5.5m)| Michail Antonio (£7.0m) Felipe Anderson (£6.9m) Manuel Lanzini (£6.5m)

Bonus Points: Haller x3 Noble x2 Gray x2

Sebastien Haller (£7.4m) scored twice for West Ham United to consign Watford to a third straight defeat of a decidedly miserable start to the season.

Hammers skipper Mark Noble (£5.0m) celebrated his first action of the campaign by converting an early penalty, only for Andre Gray (£5.9m) to level for the hosts in an entertaining first half.

Excellent chances came and went for both sides before summer signing Haller’s brace sealed the deal for the visitors after the break.

West Ham’s win was a question of quality over quantity at Vicarage Road.

Watford had 23 attempts, but just three on target, compared to 16 and 10 respectively for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

Gerard Deulofeu (£6.4m) epitomised that lack of a meaningful end-product from the Hornets, with a match-high seven attempts, only one of which was on target.

Haller (right) scored a brace for West Ham as they beat Watford 3-1

Haller, by contrast, had a shot accuracy of 75% and a conversion rate of 50% from the four chances he had.

His first league goal in English football came from a tap-in following smart work by Felipe Anderson (£6.9m).

He then doubled the advantage with an instinctive overhead kick after Ben Foster (£5.0m) could only parry Michail Antonio‘s (£7.0m) header from a corner.

Haller’s 13-point haul – he was awarded maximum bonus – furthers the Fantasy cause of yet another reasonably priced striker, with the majority of the top ten scoring frontmen in Fantasy Premier League currently costing less than £7.5m.

The appeal of the France Under-21 international, owned by just 2.9% of FPL managers for Gameweek 3, is also boosted by his schedule.

The Hammers will host a very obliging Norwich City defence next weekend and they have just two matches with a Fixture Difficulty Rating of more than ‘three’ over the next nine Gameweeks.

Pellegrini’s first job of the season has been to try and successfully integrate the abundance of attacking talent now at his disposal.

Mark Noble scored West Ham’s opener from the spot

He might well have hit the jackpot at Vicarage Road, with Haller leading the line in a 4-2-3-1 formation that allowed Anderson and Manuel Lanzini (£6.5m) plenty of scope to get forward in support.

The latter earned a second consecutive assist of the season when he was brought down by Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.9m) in the area after just three minutes.

Noble converted the spot-kick and West Ham were up and running.

Of the attacking midfield trio, only Andriy Yarmolenko (£5.9m) failed to impress, whereas his replacement Antonio, who came on after 55 minutes, set up one goal and could have had a couple himself.

Pellegrini’s post-match comments confirmed his continued commitment to progressive football, despite the 5-0 drubbing they received at the hands of Manchester City in Gameweek 1.

“It would be very easy for me, as a manager, to say after Manchester City to the players that we are going to play a different way and stay all back. I don’t think we would improve in that way. We did 45 minutes in a very good way against Manchester City. After that, we made an important mistake that decided the score. We’ve worked exactly the same though and we’ve won away, and now I hope we can win at home against Norwich City on Sunday.” – Manuel Pellegrini

That should increase the ownership figures of Haller, Lanzini and even the Fantasy troll that is Anderson.

FPL forward Deulofeu was deployed in midfield again for Watford

Only Deulofeu had more penalty area touches (12) than the Brazilian’s 11, and he was unlucky not to score when his glancing header shaved the post at Vicarage Road. He also created two big chances for his teammates.

But if West Ham attackers are now looming larger on the Fantasy radar, their defenders deserve to remain out of sight and mind for now.

Three matches in and the Hammers have kept no clean sheets and only Aston Villa, with 55, have allowed more shots than the 53 they’ve conceded.

That they weren’t punished for this generosity on Saturday was down to Watford’s wastefulness.

Deulofeu, as already mentioned, was the main culprit, but the otherwise impressive Gray was similarly profligate.

He hit the target just the once in five attempts, although he at least had the decency to score from that one accurate effort.

Will Hughes (£5.5m) set up Gray’s goal with an astute pass before contriving to miss an open goal from two yards out that rather summed up the Hornets’ sorry afternoon.

Head coach Javi Gracia lamented that failure to convert chances into goals.

“We’ve lost 1-3. That’s the final result. It’s true there were some moments in the game when we dominated, we created chances but if you don’t score with 23 shots then it’s difficult. We have to be more clinical when we dominate the game.” – Javi Gracia

His decision to partner Gray with Deulofeu in a tweaked formation was forced by a knee injury to Troy Deeney (£6.4m) that is likely to keep the captain out for the next couple of months.

“Without Troy, we tried a different formation, with four in a diamond and keeping two strikers with more mobility. In the first half, we did it well, with good chances after 10 minutes: two clear chances for Gerard. We tried a different way to find the balance, but not so well in the second half.” – Javi Gracia

Watford defensive assets remain off-limits for Fantasy managers

The goals, you feel, will come for Watford – Gracia’s side have scored just once from 42 attempts, whereas Manchester United have found the net six times from the exact same number.

But investment in that promise should likely be kept on hold, at least until after matches with Arsenal and Manchester City over the next three Gameweeks.

And, like West Ham, their defenders should remain well off limits.

The only reason for cheer at the weekend was the two save points Foster managed from his seven stops as Watford failed to keep a clean sheet for the 18th straight match.

The Eye Test

Watford fan James Moseley:

Watford looked very fragile at back against the counter but managed to dominate possession in the first half.

“They largely played through the middle nice with some nice one-two touch passing creating chances, asking some serious questions of the West Ham defence.

“Gray’s goal was fully deserved after Hughes drifted inside from the right and threading a ball behind the defence.

“However, the big problem was that the Watford full-backs were exposed to overloads in wide areas due to the diamond shape and lack of defensive width from the midfielders.

“Both Holebas and Femenía got forward themselves too to support the attack, although West Ham weren’t capitalising as much as they should, Anderson often drifting into the middle from wide.

“Also, Haller was largely anonymous before half-time, only really contributing a few headers from West Ham goal kicks.

“It was interesting to see that every Watford corner in the first half was aimed at Craig Dawson at the back post.

“He won a couple of headers but most of them were blocked and he didn’t look too dangerous.

“Watford continued to dominate possession in the second half although the game became a lot more open at this stage, West Ham only threatening on the counter.

“Hughes missed an absolute sitter while Antonio forced a decent save from Ben Foster in a one-on-one.

“Then Haller came to life after a quiet first half, tapping in from a few yards out. Watford were too easily opened up here, having looked fragile at the back all game. There was no challenge on Lanzini down the left either.

“At this point, it looked like Watford had given up but Welbeck and Sarr looked lively when they came on.

“It seems clear that Fantasy managers should avoid all Watford and goalkeepers. They have no chance of keeping a clean sheet against anyone.

“Holebas does get a lot of corners and wide free-kicks but none of them amounted to anything dangerous.

“Deulofeu looked dangerous and had chances but didn’t get many efforts on target. Hughes got in good areas and threaded good balls to Gray who looked threatening with lots of runs in behind.

“Lanzini was probably best West Ham player on Saturday and while Haller got two goals and one was a nice bicycle kick.

“Anderson was quiet until West Ham got the 2-1 lead then had loads of dribbling chances when Watford got stretched. Probably should have scored and then unlucky not to get assist.”

    Will be any double risers this week for those on WC?
    Pukki, Cantwell & KDB perhaps (but hard not to hold onto those three).

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Mount

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        missed his rise already which was an error!

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Barnes and Haller will be the other movers as people ship Kane in their droves

          1. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Haller has nice fixtures all the way up to GW12 too...an exciting prospect 🙂

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That's your lot

    3. 3hoursleep
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Possibly Abraham

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah might just ignore it, knowing me I'd screw it up and leave players out that I want who rise out of the blue 😉

  2. Yome
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Guilbert an option now after he played against Everton?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        At 4.4 he looks decent

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Elmo poses enough threat to be an easy avoid imo, but worth keeping tabs on

    2. MTPockets
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Reviews suggest so, but then people thought that at the start of the season.
        See what (maybe secondary) lineup they put out in EFL midweek

        1. Yome
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Cheers, will monitor in midweek

      • Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not yet, still a rotation risk I reckon

      • Pukki Blinders
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Not until he's nailed

    3. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      how this looking worth anything worth a hit or a wildcard?

      Jota is annoying Martial a doubt and Tross bad fixture.

      Pope 
      TAA Soyuncu Digne
      Salah Sterling Martial Tross KDB
      Pukki Jota
      Greenwood Montoya Rico

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Martial could start, Tross>Cantwell

    4. EMEA
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      On a Wildcard, pls RMT.

      Button - Ryan
      Niles - VVD - Digne (Rico - Lundstrom)
      Salah - Sterling - KDB - Mount (Cantwell)
      Haller- Pukki - Barnes
      0.4ITB

      Q: Is Niles a good $5m option?
      Q: ManUTD cover is necessary?

      1. Robson-Canoe
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        That's my WC team as well, except that I have TAA and Soyuncu over VVD and AMN. Also Pope > Ryan.

      2. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Don't rate Niles. Maybe downgrade to a 4.5 and upgrade Rico to another starting 4.5 - gives you better defensive coverage.
        Don't think man utd cover is that important. They'll have good weeks but won't be consistent enough to worry you too much.

      3. EMEA
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Rico comes to my radar as Daniels is injured..

        But it’s good to find out 2 4.5m options

    5. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think the article needs to be more focussed on how Watford assets have turned out to be a massive liability.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, already did my very exciting transfer of selling Cathcart for Soyuncu.

        Watford always used to start strongly, this year they are atroucious.

    6. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      RMT

      Ryan
      AWB VVD Digne Kelly
      Sterling KDB Mane Ceballos
      Pukki Kane

      Would be a -4 to get here... King & Montoya to Pukki and Kelly

    7. The Legend Squad
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Button Rico Hayden Greenwood as subs

    8. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone else thinking of going Salahless GW6-12? (che, shu, LEI, mun, TOT, avl, MCI)

      Sterling will be my set and forget captain in that period anyway.

      Where as Auba, Kun, Haller, Abraham have amazing fixtures to name a few.

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Look at 9-12, rather than 6-12

        1. fr3d
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Might be wise to have him against Chelsea you’re right

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I probably wouldn't make the move myself, but can see the logic. Auba would be my main option to replace him

      2. limbu21
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Fixtures doesnt matter. Might outscore the rest in those fixtures too ! Think Twice!

      3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe, probably not now. More likely to get rid of TAA GW9

      4. MTPockets
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Not right now - only MCI of those have a defence worth worrying about to date

        • Krionos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Players like Salah are fixture proof. However, that doesn't mean there aren't better options in that period. Going without the highly owned big hitters is all about what you can replace them with and whether those players will improve your points totals!!

      5. drughi

        How do I look for coming week ? Caved in and got pukki

        Heaton
        Coleman Robertson VVD Zinchenko
        Sterling(C) KDB Trossard Salah

      6. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Does anyone have any further info on the Martial and Mount injuries? Mason Mount seemd more like a precautionary one to me, but I didn't see how Martial got injured and what exactly that was? Could it be long term or also just a knock?

        1. Jordan.
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          mount tis but a scratch,more concerned about tony,could be hammy problems

        2. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Wasn't a knock, he injured himself controlling the ball and started limping, doesn't sound too serious and should play gw4 imo

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

            Isn't that usually a bad thing though? Usually when a player pulls up just running with the ball it's a hamstring or something that leaves them out for weeks... I just saw him limping for the last 10 minutes of the game really struggling..

            1. Pukki Blinders
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Very well could be, but could also just be some tightness. If he did his hammy then I don't think he'd still be on the pitch trying to run around

        3. DeathoftheParty
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          MEN said Ole is confident Martial will train this week. But wait on news later in the week. Mount was just a kick to the calf.

      7. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Kane will be very good this season

        Once Pochettino gets his house in order and the team gels properly.

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 7 Years

          Won’t play the mighty mags each week will they

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Lol

        2. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He'll score goals but I don't think he'll hit the heights of a couple of years ago.

          If Eriksen leaves and Alli gets played in the hole, he'd be my top Spurs choice

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            I had Alli in my team this preaseason until he got injured. If Lo Celso cements a spot in a midfield three of him Ndombele and Winks /Sissoko, a front three of Alli Son and Kane will be electric imo.

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

              They are good players, but they need someone like Eriksen's creativity. If he leaves I think they will be in trouble...

        3. Krionos
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          He was so anonymous in this game... The whole team looked clueless and disoriented. I captained him and after 15 minutes of watching that game knew I was in for disappointment.

          City completely outplayed them last week and they just don't have the creativity to break down well defensive teams like City and Liverpool do. I will be looking at getting him out of my team asap, and just keep loading up on as many City and Liverpool attackers as I can!

          Jota to Barnes before both prices change again.

      9. howsonisnow

        Moura + Evans > Mount + Haller (-4)?

        Or Barnes instead of Haller?

        Thinking of getting Cantwell and pukki which will leave me with 1.2m. Any suggestions on how to best use that as I don’t wanna play Cantwell vs city next gw

        Pope Heaton
        Taa vvd digne zincheko — rico
        Sterling kdb martial Cantwell - docker
        Pukki Kane — wickham

        Only thing I can think of is Dendocker > 5.7m but not much value there. Any other suggestions?

      12. BARIO MALOTELLI

            Jota to Barnes. The other move is getting rid of two decent players for... two decent players.

              You're right, just scared of KdB actually...

                Same. Be comforted by his history of unpredictability - he'll get close to 200 points if he isn't injured, but nobody can really predict where they'll cone from.

          It's interesting to see how well blazingly obvious "impatient" moves have worked so far this season. Another season of the casual, or is the casual the new pro?

            Holding your nerve is a strategy. You miss the hauls moving players in and out willy nilly. Casuals forget transfers, and win by default. The articles this summer from former winners etc all had a common theme. Take a few risks but mitigate it by sticking to your guns.

            It's only been 3 gameweeks man, plenty of time for bandwagons to crash and burn yet. The key, as always, is jumping on the right ones. Some have failed already (Salahless, Kane in, Utd defence).

            I have the same team except Martial and Soyoncu instead of Mount and Digne. Mount had poor short term fixtures and Soyoncu seems better value than Digne. Great team though

            I'd wait for news on Martial first.

            It might be better to get Cantwell in for Donks and play him.

            Depends if you're sold on Barnes. I'm not sure...

            1. Miniboss
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Cantwell might play in a cup during the week so wouldn't rush with that transfer either.

                Happy with Pukki atm. Upgrade Donk to 5.5-6m player soon.

              Hmm no not a big fan of Barnes but he’s in form and has good fixture after Pool.
              Could also do Robbo and Donkey to Walker/Zinchenko and Mount/McGinn

            Burnley's fixtures turn nice from GW 5. Lowton is safe enough.

          It's a shame Watford don't have better fixtures. I like the look of Gray whilst Deeney is out...

            Think Rhoda will be a bit of a traditional period for Watford anyway. Sarr bedding in, possible formation change, etc.

          This team poor enough to WC?

          Ryan* | Norris
          TAA | Coleman | Lundstram | Cathcart* | Montoya*
          Salah | Sterling | Perez* | Robinson* | Dendoncker
          King* | Kane | Haller

          Players with a star are those i'd look to replace.
          Warranted a WC or sort it with 2 transfers which would be a -4?

          1. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years

            I wouldn't wc.

            • 6 Years

          Kane + Perez --> Aguero + Ceballos

          May be priced out soon, but is it madness?

          Ryan (Button)

          Martial Sterling (C) Salah (Trossard Dendoncker)
          Jota Pukki KING

          1FT with 0.1ITB

          A) King -> Ayew or Joelinton
          B) Trossard & King -> Cantwell & Barnes (-4 hit)
          C) Save FT or any other suggestions

          For those who like using their TC chip in a SGW, surely it doesn't get any better than Sterling v BHA (H) or Salah v NEW (H). Anyone tempted?

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

            No. My TC will be used in a DGW, no question about it.

          2. Ajax Hamsterdam
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Very tempting..but still prefer to wait for dgw..even though last 2 seasons have been a bit of disaster 🙂

            1. The Royal Robin
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I'm put off by DGW's, you only get a game out of said player, a game and a half tops.

              1. Ajax Hamsterdam
                • 9 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                Aguero could have been gold last year but went off injured.

          3. Pukki Blinders
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Don't think either team will leak too many goals, both can pretty tight at the back. There's better options for sure

            I prefer having TC for later in the season.

          5. MTPockets
              4 years, 7 months ago

              I prefer to dream about big DGW points later in the season.
              Then TC Sane for 3pts...

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years

              Fixtures are very tempting but unlike to mess up my mind with the TC till the end of the year
