Are West Ham defenders worth FPL investment?

Three clean sheets on the bounce have placed West Ham’s defence back on the Fantasy Premier League radar.

The Hammers have not conceded a single goal since Andre Gray (£5.9m) scored for Watford in Gameweek 3.

Following the 3-1 win at Vicarage Road, Norwich, Aston Villa and Manchester United have all gone up against Manuel Pellegrini’s men and failed to make a breakthrough.

Interest in West Ham’s defensive assets is understandably on the increase, but are they worth the investment.

This article aims to uncover the Hammers’ clean sheet potential over their upcoming fixtures and which individual assets warrant the spending.

What is West Ham’s clean sheet potential?

    Any thoughts on how Norwich will do away to palace?

      Palace poor at home, Norwich poor away. Black hole I think.

        Cheers. Thinking of playing mount instead of cantwell, but it'll be for a -4 hit. Worth it?

    Digne or Zinc out for Ota? Perfectly happy to have double City defence for a week or two if Zinc does play, but will Digne punish his sellers before too long?

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years

      Digne

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      Zinc, he is a doubt to even start. At least digne will start and could get an attacking return

    3. jimbo90

      zinc

    Digne to Otamendi worth a hit?

    1. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not for a hit.

    2. claretparrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If you have to start Digne otherwise, I'd be very tempted

    3. jimbo90
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Don't need to start but short of options. Options for last place in 11 are Ceballos, Greenwood, Lundstram, Digne

    4. Hktrader88

      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Probably not by I did, as I also have Ceballos who I want to move on next week so would have to take a hit this week or next

  5. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you give the C?

    A - Kun
    B - Salah
    C - KDB
    D - Wilson

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      C or D based on my comment below

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah Wilson my fav at the moment.

  6. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Oh Wilson has some nice stats vs West Ham, 6 goals in his last 6. Including a hatti in the last game. Captain potential right there

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson stats this season are incredibly poor

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What just few chances I take it?

      2. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        4 pts behind 3rd best forward isn’t poor

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Think he is talking about chances and shots, that last game I think that goal was his only shot? But he did hurt his ankle early on didn’t he so that may have affected him? Either way someone could argue that’s just clinical and took his chances.
          Vardy always has bad stats

          1. Roy Rovers
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah see where you are coming from but points are points!!

            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Thing for Wilson is, he's never really been clinical. I think he missed the most big chances last year or soothing like that. So when he's performing on scraps you know with him he's actually overperforminh

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              True, I had him for the first five and his returns were good. Took him out on the wildcard which I was unsure of. Sure amp her he netted this week, and he is still on my radar, just not sure I would bring him back or not. Get the feeling that his points probably will drop off sooner rather than later

                • 4 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

    Benching Digne this week. Purely on fixtures - the next 3 are tricky to sell, but my plan was to do...
    Digne and Cantwell to Soyuncu and Maddison in gw9.

    A. Sound plan
    B. Wait and see if Everton improve
    C. Keep come what may

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Can just switch to Alonso or Pereira too of course

  12. Matty172
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Currently have this defence in a 3-4-3...

    TAA / Ake / Dunk (Rico / Lundstram)

    Looking to make a switch somehow - maybe Dunk > Tamori or Mings?
    Any advice? 1FT

    1. Wensink
      • 6 Years

      Have/love Mings. Keeping the faith with Montoya for at least 3 more weeks.
