The best West Ham players for their appealing fixtures

2,184 Comments
Share

West Ham players are now on the Fantasy Premier League radar after their 3-1 win over Watford.

The Hammers have also have a favourable streak of fixtures coming up to further interest in their assets.

Norwich come to the London Stadium in Gameweek 4 having conceded eight goals in their first three matches of the season.

After that, West Ham travel to newly-promoted Aston Villa, who have just one clean sheet in 2019/20 thus far, which came against a goal-shy Everton side last Friday.

Manchester United and Crystal Palace are the next two sides to travel to East London (in Gameweeks 6 and 8 respectively), before Manuel Pellegrini’s men travel to Bournemouth and Everton.

However, Fantasy managers will still have to ensure they choose the right West Ham player to capitalise on the form and fixtures.

We have gone over the numbers from their first three matches of 2019/20 to work out who that might be.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the new campaign can access it in full.

Lessons learned from Gameweek 3

      More difficult getting a ticket this season than for a long time. 30k season ticket holders and then tickets go on sale to members (who pay an annual fee). They might make general sale but seems unlikely so far this year, best bet is either to find a member who isn't going, or pay for the membership.

      His statistics say it's not been a fluke. He has the average position, the shots, the chances created and the involvement to deliver similar returns. That's all that matters to me. If his place is secure and he keeps delivering, I don't see why he shouldn't be considered for our 4th mid spot.

          That is true, and Spurs look poor in general right now. For free it makes sense but not for a hit imo, there is usually goals in this fixture, and form goes out the window in these derby's tbh. I can see it being like 2 - 2.

      its very frustrating because they ask for like 2 documents minimum each time which are sensitive, and they take so long to actually verify it.
      They are like "send us photos of ur utility bills", literally everyone in the world gets electronic bills these days and I dont have a single paper utility bill anwyhere. And I dont think they accept electronic bills either. Proof of id should be all they need imo, I just dont understand why they need the proof of address at all.

      And there system is totally flawed anyway, I could in 6 minutes create a fake utility bill and fake copy of a passport/driving licence and email that to them and they would be none the wiser. LOL

          Yea i guess, just had this so many times with sports betting and poker (I used to play alot of poker, had forever headaches with poker websites over the years). What makes me laugh about the poker sites though is this:
          You can go right now and create an account on somewhere like 888 or poekrstars and deposit money into the account, immediately start playing. But soon as you want to withdraw it they then ask for verification at that point. So basically if your a kid you can for sure gamble on these poker sites and they have no issue with accepting your money and letting you play but soon as you try withdraw it they prevent you. Had an interesting argument with one of their reps about this who told me they are in line with the law lol, yea right. Forgot that I was meant to report them to trading standards/gambling commision for that.

        The problem with electronic bills is ridiculous in the UK.

        Every company wants you to have e-bills, some companies even surcharge you to send paper bills or deny you access to their best deals if you want them e.g. mobile phone, energy companies etc. Yet nowhere accepts e-bills as proofs, and companies then charge you for requesting paper ones when you need them for this purpose.

        For this reason I still insist on paper bank statements and credit card bills every month even though I check my accounts regularly online. Sorry trees!

      Laporte wont get many attacking returns at CB.. ederson is nailed and 0.5 cheaper, and could pop up with an assist!

      Zinchenko imo, city defence for 5.5 is a bargain and he is playing well Mendy could be out for a while by the looks of it. He has been close to getting attacking returns.

      There isn't a 1st choice, it will be rotated, get another 4.5 option who nailed if you are concerned

    I’ve realised that the more I look at stats and fixtures the worse I do in fpl

    Watching games and choosing the players who look good works out far better

      Best advice ever is to always follow your gut mate, no matter what other people are saying/doing.
