Antonio leads the West Ham line again with Haller still on the bench

The Fantasy Premier League man of the moment Michail Antonio (£7.0m) has been handed another outing as West Ham’s centre-forward.

Fresh from netting four goals at Norwich last time out, the out-of-position FPL midfielder keeps his starting berth for the visit of Watford.

With Sébastien Haller (£6.8m) still on the West Ham bench, it allows Antonio to spearhead the attack once more.

The £7.0m man remains a key differential despite the recent interest in him.

His ownership increased by just over 130,000 managers between Gameweeks 35+ and 36+ but Antonio is still only in 3.5% of squads worldwide.

He will be helped in his cause by Mark Noble (£4.9m) tonight, who looks to be deployed in the number 10 role once again, a position he has taken on admirably in recent weeks.

Aaron Cresswell (£4.5m) starts at left-back once again while Ben Johnson (£4.0m) earns his first start since the restart at right-back.

There is arguably less interest in the Watford line-up but there are not too many shocks.

Craig Dawson (£4.8m), the Hornets greatest goal threat of late, retains his place at the heart of defence while the kindly priced Kiko Femenía (£4.2m) is at right-back once again.

Troy Deeney (£6.2m) naturally leads the line with Danny Welbeck (£5.8m) and Ismaïla Sarr (£6.0m) providing the width.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Johnson; Rice, Soucek; Fornals, Noble, Bowen; Antonio.

Watford XI (4-2-3-1): Foster; Masina, Dawson, Kabasele, Femenía; Hughes, Cleverley; Welbeck, Doucouré, Sarr; Deeney.

    People who are selling Vardy are in for a rough IMO.

    1FT 1.9ITB

    Pope
    TAA • Holgate* •Doherty
    Salah • KDB • Bruno • Martial
    Jesus • Nketiah • Greenwood

    1. Kno
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      holgate confirmed out right? maybe do a burnley double up

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

    Would you do AWB+Vardy -> Rashford+Tarkowski(or any other defender) for -4 ? Alternative to keep a transfer for the last game ( don't have free hit)

  10. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    United captain if West Ham win.

    City captain if Watford win.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cue in a draw 😀

  11. Kno
    • 13 Years

    Good too go? Fairly happy about my starting team other then perhaps digne/everton being quite shite and pulisic vs pool

    Pope
    Doherty Taa Digne
    Raz Kdb Bruno Martial Pulisic
    Ings Rash

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years

      Lovely side

      Think Liverpool defence is as questionable as Everton right now but still plenty of assist potential there.

  12. Kaiser123
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lascelles & Kane to Wood/Ings & Tark for -4.

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would keep Kane.

  13. Champions united
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Green to wood ??
    Or sell
    Willian or Antonio

    Only for 1 week

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sell Willian.

  14. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Don't know much about Leeds United players. Any FPL prospects to look out for in that squad?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ayling

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Douglas was all the rage for Wolves a few years back but went to Leeds, might get a chance with him. Ayling on the other side.

      Hernandez & Bamford, but he’ll need 5 chances a game.

      Expect them to spend well too.

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bamford must be an option

      Was horrid at Palace. But Pep rates Bielsa as the greatest manager in the world just because he improves players so much.

      Most likely going Bamford early on

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Bamford has struggled a bit, they'll need signings and quick.

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          There’ll be money available I guess.

          But I suspect they’ll largely go with what they have a la SU as opposed to doing a Villa Fulham. They’ve spent in the Chamionship but not outrageously.

      Klich if he is 4.5m for your bench.Leave the rest alone.

    Leaning towards B as 2 good fixtures whereas SHU might not be so good for Ings
