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.

    Sterling essential next GW? Got KDB, Mahrez & Jesus at the moment....

    1. mgilbert86
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      No, could easily be rested if he plays FA cup.

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        The same with Mahrez?

      2. Dynamic Duos
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        He started 1 in last 3 , he plays rest off season.

        1. King Kun Ta
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          You would guess so. But with ‘rien va plus’ Pep you never know...

    2. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Captain him?

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        In that case yes

        1. Bob B

            Save

    3. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      No. I thought he was essential this GW!

      1. King Kun Ta
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Not the only one with that thought

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Probably wouldn’t be moving around the City boys this GW.

      Couch needed if he starts though.

      Best time for it with 2 GWs left.

  3. JURGENAUT
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    What to do with Aurier?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Start

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Presumably he'll either start or not play at all. So what you do depends on your bench I suppose.

    3. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Keep

  4. Flynny

      1. Flynny

        Interesting

        Thanks

  5. BT31 - WE ARE ALL TINKERMEN…

    FH or TC this week? Thanks

    Pope
    Garcia Saiss Aurier
    Salah Fernandes Pulisic KDB
    Gayle Rasford Vardy

    Martin Saka Fernandez Targett

    1. Kellz86
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      FH w37 and TC a City attacker w38

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      You still have FH and TC wow used mine ages ago.

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Kind of amazing that the difference between OR 1 and 10k is more than 200 points.

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      If you look at the recent gameweek scores for those at the very top, they don't seem to be stand-out amazing. Wonder if there's a bit of a buffer between them and say 500 to 1000, that's built up over the first 3/4s of the season

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      It is a huge gap...Im not positive, but normally I think its tighter than that

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        I think in past seasons it has been tighter too.

  7. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    50 point gap now in my mini league coming off last week. Was 15 but he smashed the free hit. I take my hat off to him but any advice of how I can try to bring it back?

    We currently both have: Maguire TAA Pulisic KDB Fernandes Jesus

    Differential players:
    Me v him
    Pope v Martinez
    Digne v Doherty
    Sterling v Mahrez
    Salah v Willian
    Greenwood v Vardy

    Feel like captaining Salah in the final two games could be a good start as he won’t get him in.

    Any of our combined players I could look to move on? KDB is risky but I could go Son then Pulisic > Silva in 38

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Captaining Salah is probably your only shout. Even then, Sterling Vs Mahrez is reliant on Pep roulette working out in your favour

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        I am tempted to take a minus 4

        Maguire + Puli > K.Long + Martial (C)

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Looks like you got to captain salah and hope he goes mad.

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        I am tempted to take a minus 4

        Maguire + Puli > K.Long + Martial (C)

      1. mgilbert86
        • 13 Years

    5. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      I hope that Aurier will return form France. Targett is his replacement :/

    6. JURGENAUT
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Surprised about Man Utd's. I thought West Ham would likely score.

      1. Bodini
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Are they effectively safe now so motivation gone?

    7. Bodini
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Need a one week goalkeeper punt so going bu this, Patricio?

      I really thought Burnley would be higher too

    8. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      cheers

    9. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Brighton lower than Burnley odds. Powerful differential there

  9. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Come on Antonio stay in those BPs!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Deductions & Soucek GWG.

      Toni needs another.

  10. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Only have kdb and Foden from city.

    Should I get Jesus or Sterling in for Vardy or Salah?

    1. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Jesus for me but hesitating what with rotation..

    2. Big Ronnie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Not sure i'd do either of those. If I had to chose, vardy out

    3. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Get jesus

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Thanks! Orher option is to get Auba for Vardy

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Antonio yellow please

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Two of them.

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Sod it, yellow then straight red please

  12. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Come on Kiko you ledge

  13. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Who would be the 1 player you would want this week who isn't in the team below?
    Going to FH in 38. So transfer this week can be a 1 week punt or stay in for FH. Thinking Salah or Sterling for Willian.

    Pope, Martin
    TAA, Doherty, Saiss, Kiko, Lascelles
    KDB, Martial, Bruno, Willian, Foden
    Ings, Jimenez, Greenwood

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Willian to Sterling.

      1. Big Ronnie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Cheers. Would be an easy choice if I knew he starts.

  14. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    I am taking this Tierney punt

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Could be gold

    2. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Had him since the restart. I wish you well

    3. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Which is what?

  15. Mr. Mystic
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Bardsley or Pieters?

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Pieters

    2. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Pieters

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Bardsley if you need him for 38.

      1. Mr. Mystic
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Why? More nailed? I need backup for Aurier

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          Just safer imo.

          Taylor might get back for 38. Pieters was playing RM but Gudmundsson is back too.

          1. Mr. Mystic
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 16 days ago

            Only need him for 37. As have FH in 38

          2. Mr. Mystic
            • 15 Years
            6 years, 16 days ago

            I could go for Dunk instead? (As I have Pope)

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Pieters

    5. Kaiser123
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Same dilemma. Bardsley more likely to score

  16. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Antonio rewarding points chasers

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Depends. I’m chasing but my ML leader is owner also. 🙁

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Probably trying to block you

  17. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Play
    a) Pulisic
    b) Saka

    1. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      A

    2. swobe
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      not a bad decision to make. I'm playing Saka. Would play both if you could drop a striker

      1. Salalalalah
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Jiminez, Ings, Greenwood

        Could drop greenwood to bench but WHU is a good fixture for him

  18. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Atleast get one more save Fab

  19. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Playing BB, Lascelles >>

    1. Pieters
    2. Kevin Long
    3. Bardsley

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Pieters , but getting Dunk myself

    2. Rt505
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Also on BB and just done Lascelles to Pieters

      1. FCSB
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Will he definitely start?

        1. Rt505
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 16 days ago

          I certainly hope so. Probably left back. Risky for 38. I already have Long who is also a good option

  20. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Danny Welbeck. Donking it up in the PL since 2010

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Scored that backheel goal for England vs Sweden though.

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Antonio & Declan Rice

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Smell

  22. Kellz86
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Have to say 63pts feels good for my FH

    Was too scared to start Deeney over Sterling though

  23. Greek Freak
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    I need Kiko to score a hat-trick in these last few minutes to save my season.

  24. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    With West Ham being all but safe now, does that make United options even more attractive this week?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Absolutely.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Moyes returning to Man Utd with an agenda?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 16 days ago

        Moyes team rolls over at Old Trafford, just like old times...

  25. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Which transfer would you do as a 1 week punt (FHing in 38)

    Pulisic > Antonio

    or

    Azpilicueta > VVD

    Rest of Team

    Pope Ramsdale

    Boly Egan Fernandez Stevens xxxxxxxx

    KDB Martial Foden Fernandes xxxxxxxx

    Jesus Rashford Ings

    Any ideas would be welcomed

  26. Mr. Mystic
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Taylor -> Bardsley/Pieters or Dunk? (Already have Pope)

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 16 days ago

      Dunk

  27. Dynamic Duos
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 16 days ago

    Welbeck, Gray and Deeney some strike force that , lmfao

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
