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.

    Who is least likely 2vl play GW37?

    A. Taylor
    B. Lascelles
    C. Holgate

    Need 2 transfer one out.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Lascelles is out for the season.

    2. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Don't think any of them are

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

        I'm not the only one cursed this GW 😀

        1. JoeSoap
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yip bad timing. Just as well I have FH for 38.

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

            Same

            1. JoeSoap
              • 12 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Seems a waste 2 use it on defender. That said when I use it elsewhere the player transferred out performs better lol

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

                Tarkowski is flavour of the week 😉

                1. JoeSoap
                  • 12 Years
                  5 years, 9 months ago

                  Yip, think he is 2 dear for me. Haven't checked. Only 0.3 left.

    3. Kno
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      All 3 out I think, tough luck.

    4. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks all. Just take Lascelles out then.

    5. John Nerdelbaum
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm in the same predicament with Taylor and Lascelles and I still need to play my BB

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        That ain't good.

  2. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Thanks Foster. Nice ending to gw. Tbh I somehow thought that there could be something up there for Foster 😀

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Thinking about Willian to Mahrez hockey kokey but might do Foster to ugly tattoo neck.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 8 months ago

  3. Hitmonlee
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Need help please!
    Which team looks better?

    A)
    Pope
    TAA / Saiss / Fernandez
    Salah / Bruno / Martial (c) / KDB
    Wood / Greenwood / Jesus
    (Pulisic & Azpi Benched)

    B)
    Pope
    TAA / Saiss / Tarkowski
    Salah / Bruno / Martial (c) / KDB / Pulisic
    Greenwood / Jesus
    (Fernandez first bench)

  4. Gudjohnsen
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Watford going down?

    1. Guy Demel
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Think they'll get a result from Arsenal

      West Ham safe now with a win tonight have Villa last game so Villa could get points there

      All to play for

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years

      1. Woy_is_back
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Bournemouth to stay up 5-1
    Great odds
    Villa and Watford to go down with Norwich

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

      I'd prefer Villa over them tbh

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Nah
        Arsenal will win, maybe get a draw with West Ham
        I can see Bournemouth getting a win v Southampton on Sunday with the extra Days rest

        1. Nightcrawler
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I would be surprised if Bournemouth get something a goodison too

          1. Nightcrawler
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Wouldnt*

        2. Amey
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

        • 6 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bour have given us plenty of fpl legends over the years

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

          I never had any luck with Fraser Wilson king 😀
          Maybe I'm biased

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

              Touche

  10. That Was Easy!
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Soucek first on my bench with KDB out, lovely. Brought him in for a hopefully fruitful BB in 38!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Well played

    2. Woy_is_back
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Total fluke

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        That’s why you have a bench
        I have Masina in 😆

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Deeney here.

          Oh dear....

    3. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Talking of BB, is there a playing defender in GW38 for 4.2-?

      1. Saint Tim
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Lampety

        1. Zilla
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Don't think he'll return but there's not so many options, cheers.

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Maybe Pieters if Taylor doesn’t make it.

        Dyche tends not to risk players.

        1. Zilla
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah think he's my best bet

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Can't find proof he is out

    5. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      The mighty Egan, on my bench 10 15 6, coming out from first bench 0 yes zero ...

  11. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Pope (Martinez)
    TAA, Saiss, Pieters (Lascelles*, Holgate*)
    KDB, Salah, Fernandes, Martial, Pulisic
    Vardy, Rashford (Connolly)

    A) Vardy > Jesus
    B) Vardy > Ings
    C) Lascelles > Egan
    D) Do nothing

  12. MGD
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Is there any news that could help on the man city pick for this GW?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yes, Pep will field goalie plus 10 other players.

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Ederson starts

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Ban

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

      Yeah... The A team play Saturday and squad players Tuesday

  13. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Hey fam! Which option?

    A. TAA & Nketiah
    B. Tarkowski & Wood (-4)

  14. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    That late Walcott goal could hurt Villa sooooo much.

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

      🙁

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think it's basically relegated them.

  15. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Antonio GW38+ is a must now!!!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wouldn’t be surprised if him and West Ham just completely switch off if they win this.

      Villa be fighting too.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        This.

        They're safe now, will likely revert back to being crap again. Just as everyone brings in their players.

  16. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    3. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    4. el polako
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Bowen was scoring quite regulary for Hull so know him from Livescore.
