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

    Need some help, I'm coming to Birmingham on the weekend when Aston Villa plays at home to Poll gmwk 11, I would really like to see the game, any Villa fans here? How can I get one ticket? It will be full house I suspect
    Cheers

      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.

        Cheers mate

        1. Boyd to Sven
          7 years, 1 month ago

          No worries. Drop me a line if you're having trouble getting hold of one. I might be able to help.

  2. Lav
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed.

    A. Kane + Mount
    B. Haller + KDB (-4)

    1. Jolly Good
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B, but might want to stick with Kane for the derby

    2. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

  3. Jolly Good
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bottomed

    So Cantwell had 1G 2A in the championship last year and has that already in the first 3 games in PL

    Is he playing a different role this year)

    1. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      no but i think he finished all that he could give for his team early 🙂

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      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.

      1. Jolly Good
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Well he has 3 attacking returns in 93 goals and now everything flows through him..something must’ve changed!!

    3. Basil1977
      7 years, 1 month ago

      didn't play that much last year, Hernandez played more who is injuried at the moment.

      1. Jolly Good
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks

  4. Ben Marlin
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pope
    TAA, VVD, Digne, Coleman
    Salah, Sterling, Perez, Martial
    Wood, Pukki

    Button, Diop, Dendocker, Greenwood

    Thoughts??

    1. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      any money itb?

  5. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I’d martial is out, and I have no free transfers:

    A martial and Perez to kdb and McGinn -8
    B just martial to mount
    C save, play Pérez (BOU) and Diop (NOR)

    1. PogChamp
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Save

    2. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B but wait till we know that mount is fully fit

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C. Diop is fine.

    4. Lord Flashheart

      Cheers

  6. Totti

    on wildcard
    what do u rather guys?

    A) pope adrian
    otamendi matip

    B) pope 4.0
    VVD guilbert

    1. Riders of Yohan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B. Get TAA in somehow though

  7. liboo
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Change kane + rashford for Aguero + pukki for - 4

    Or hold and wait
    ??

    1. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i would

      1. Totti
        7 years, 1 month ago

        for me yes mate

  8. teddypicker
    7 years, 1 month ago

    yellow cards given to players on the bench since 2014-15, by league

    PL: 4
    Serie: 23
    Ligue: 18
    Bund: 16
    Liga: 86

    Can players still get -1 in FPL if they don't even make it onto the pitch?

  9. The Habib Beyes
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kane -> Aguero for a -4 hit? what do we think

    1. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yes
      yes
      yes
      yes
      yes
      and captain aguero
      and after he gets his tradition hatrick, come and thank me here 🙂

      waiting for u after the end of the match mate 😉

      1. Dr Mulholland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ha

    2. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would keep for the next game, Kane does like a goal against Arsenal. Arsenals record against top 6 teams is poor.

      1. Totti
        7 years, 1 month ago

        may be in white hart lane
        but his statistics against top 6 teams away is very poor

        1. Rage Against The Raheem
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 1 month ago

          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.

          1. Totti
            7 years, 1 month ago

            he will give for him min 2 goals 🙂

  10. rokonto
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So will Rashford drop tonight???

    1. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i think no
      might be tom.

    2. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not likely to happen tonight, more likely to happen end of the week.

  11. Riders of Yohan
    7 years, 1 month ago

    The temptation to WC to template is big. Persuade me not to...

    1FT 0.2ITB

    Current Team

    Heaton* / Button
    Digne / VVD* / Dunk* / Lund / Rico
    Salah / Sterling / Martial* / Trossard* / Dend*
    Kane* / Pukki / Adams*

    WC:
    POPE* / Button
    Digne / TAA* / MINGS* / Lund / Rico
    Salah / Sterling / KDB* / MOUNT* / CANTWELL*
    HALLER* / Pukki / BARNES*

    Only thing stopping me is the international break and potential regret for martial.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you think about what's changing to your starting XI it might make you reconsider.

      Kane + Tross > Haller and KdB seems pretty easy to do and fixes most of the problems.

      1. Riders of Yohan
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hmm true. All but dendonker and Dunk would be starting. I do get what you mean.

        Just sick of the sight of Adams in my team

  12. have you seen cyan
    7 years, 1 month ago

    why do gambling websites ask you to verify who you are so damn often. Had an account with ladbokes over 5 years and they must have asked me for verification 12 times, my god give me strength. Stupid bookies, do they want my money or what?

    1. PogChamp
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same. Anti fraud measures brought in last year.

    2. Netley Lucas
      7 years, 1 month ago

      They want to make sure you're not a winner.

    3. Riders of Yohan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How much they get rinsed with money laundering and financial crime

    4. have you seen cyan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      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

      1. PogChamp
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It can be frustrating but the UK is one of the very few countries in the world where you can sports bet online, so worth the hassle.

        1. have you seen cyan
          7 years, 1 month ago

          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.

      2. Bird Raymond
        7 years, 1 month ago

        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!

        1. have you seen cyan
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I think my bank charges for paper statements haha, ridiculous. But yea these days the only physical documents i get in the mail are from the government basically. I dont hate e bills, at least you never lose them, but soon as you require them for proof of address it becomes a problem.

  13. TAT
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    VvD - TAA - Digne - Zinchenko
    Salah - Sterling - Trossard - KDB
    Pukki - Jota
    (Button - Lundstram - Dendoncker - Greenwood)

    1FT and considering my move for this GW. Which one should I do?

    Jota > Barnes
    Dendoncker > Cantwell

    1. Riders of Yohan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cantwell this week and Barnes next. Barnes should rise tonight though so don’t get priced out

      1. Totti
        7 years, 1 month ago

        i think he'll be on bench
        so it's pointless now
        and he won't rise again before gameweek 4

      2. TAT
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Will likely be priced out of Barnes if getting Cantwell and vice versa. Might consider WC to sort that out though.

        1. TAT
          7 years, 1 month ago

          WC nect gw*

    2. Totti
      7 years, 1 month ago

      save now mate
      no need to transfer now
      and after this gameweek reassess

      1. TAT
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If I don't do a transfer, I'll be priced out unfortunately. Need to get one of them this GW.

        1. Totti
          7 years, 1 month ago

          barnes then

          1. TAT
            7 years, 1 month ago

            LFC the opponent though, on the other hand they've yet to keep a clean sheet.

        2. Hitmonlee
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I’d go Cantwell and play him over Trossard this week

          1. have you seen cyan
            7 years, 1 month ago

            thats exactly what im doing, altho trossard might come in if martial is crocked

          2. TAT
            7 years, 1 month ago

            That's the idea, if going with Cantwell. If Barnes, then I'll play Trossard.

  14. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    1ft and 0m

    Pope -- Heaton
    Taa Digne Zincheko Vvd -- Rico
    Sterling Martial Kdb Perez -- Docker
    Kane King -- Wickham

    A) Perez + King >> Mcginn + Pukki (-4)

    B) Vvd + Wickham >> Lundy + Pukki (-4) with the possibility to do Perez + Kane >> Salah + Wickham (-4) in gw5...

  15. Super Silva
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do with this lot ? 1ft

    Pope
    Trent Digne Kelly
    Salah Kdb Sterling Perez Martial
    Jota Barnes

    Button Kwp Lundstram Greenwood

    1. Riders of Yohan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wait to hear on martial. Would be keen to get Perez out

      1. Super Silva
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I think that is gonna be the way I go.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can you do Jota > Pukki?

      1. Super Silva
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Unfortunately not. I was thinking Perez to Mount and bank the 0.2 but it's way to boring.

        1. Camzy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Boring but likely correct.

    3. Jolly Good
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get Pukki??

  16. The Senate
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kane is gone. Sterling is in. Is it worth bringing Laporte in for a hit?

    Going to sell Perez with my FT next week. 0.7ITB
    Foster/4.0
    Robbo Virgil Digne WanBissaka
    Salah Sterling Martial Perez
    Pukki Barnes
    (Greenwood Donck Lund)

    1. Super Silva
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Teams fine. No hit required.

  17. George Sillett
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A Robertson price fall tonight would be very useful .

    1. Gudjohnsen
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You prefer him over TAA or are you doubling up?

  18. SouthCoastSaint
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sold Auba and Wilson for aguero (c) and pukki -4

    Still got martial and dendonk/ Rico we first sub.

    Leave even if martial confirmed out?

  19. Rage Against The Raheem
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Well it finally happened, Bury have been expelled from the EFL.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      7 years, 1 month ago

      shouldnt have pitch invaded us when they went up 🙂

  20. Supersonic
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Lads any advice on this wc?

    Pope
    Taa-Lund-soyunco
    Salah-sterling-debruyne-ceballos
    Firmino-pukki-Barnes

    (Button-cantwell-montoya-taylor(burn))

    Firmino has looked dangerous but could bounce him and spread funds? Cheers

  21. chaser123
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Perez to:
    a) Mount
    b) Anderson

    1. Gudjohnsen
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. MagnetBPS
      7 years, 1 month ago

    4. Root

      b

  22. Rinseboy
    7 years, 1 month ago

    on a wildcard would you prefer
    A - Rico/Kelly and Cantwell
    B - Guilbert and Dendonker or Luiz?

    1. stuarto
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kelly & Cantwell

  23. Wet Knee Houston
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How likely is it for Barnes to rise 0.2 until the deadline? Thanks

    1. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Considering Burnley are playing Liverpool next, can't see Barnes going up by 0.2

      1. Wet Knee Houston
        7 years, 1 month ago

        That's what i was thinking (and hoping). Cheers.

  24. Gudjohnsen
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So a City defender is a must on my WC but which one?

    1. MagnetBPS
      7 years, 1 month ago

      laporte

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      7 years, 1 month ago

      at this point laporte for peace of mind

    3. jason_ni
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    4. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      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.

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        7 years, 1 month ago

        hes back in training already no?

    5. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Zinchenko. Wish I had him.

  25. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is this worth a -8 in the long run?

    Son, Martial and Rashford
    To
    Mount, Salah and Pukkhi

    Thank you?

    1. MagnetBPS
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i like it

  26. MagnetBPS
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Martial+Son-> Salah+Cantwell(Got KDB Sterling Mane)

    1. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why get Son in and a then sell him after just one week?

      1. MagnetBPS
        7 years, 1 month ago

        spurs look terrible and unreliable

  27. Totti
    7 years, 1 month ago

    who will be the main RB in aston villa?

    A) mohamadi
    B) guilbert

    as i'm on wildcard and want to know who to get

    1. jason_ni
      7 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yikes, get someone else

  28. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    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

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      depends how much I drink while watching

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

        Yes that is a factor

    2. Dr Mulholland
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep the eye test can work

  29. jason_ni
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pulled trigger 1ft done
    Deeney to haller

    Exciting stuff.. didn't want to risk deeney dropping again to 6.3

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        7 years, 1 month ago

        1. have you seen cyan

    2. Rage Against The Raheem

      7 years, 1 month ago

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