Fantasy Premier League managers have their eye on Jesse Lingard (£6.6m) and Jarrod Bowen (£6.0m) as West Ham visit Newcastle on Saturday lunch-time.

The Magpies have conceded at least twice in nine of their last 14 Premier League matches while David Moyes’ men are in a rich goal-scoring form.

With Michail Antonio (£6.5m) still out injured, Lingard and Bowen are tasked with leading the West Ham line as out-of-position forwards again, just as they did against Leicester.

Pablo Fornals (£5.8m) supports the pairing from a number 10 role with Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) and Mark Noble (£4.5m) occupying more traditional central midfield stations.

Moyes has gone with wing-backs again today although has been forced into a late change following an injury to Arthur Masuaku (£4.3m) who joins Aaron Cresswell (£5.8m) on the sidelines.

Budget option Ben Johnson (£3.9m) comes into the team to operate as a left wing-back on the opposite flank to Vladimir Coufal (£4.6m) who has assisted in each of his last two Premier League matches.

Angelo Ogbonna (£4.7m), Issa Diop (£4.3m) and Craig Dawson (£4.5m) are the back-three today, spared having to face Callum Wilson (£6.5m) for 90 minutes.

The former Bournemouth forward, who has an admirable scoring record against West Ham, is named on the bench for the second week running following his recent hamstring injury.

Joelinton (£5.7m) spearheads the Newcastle attack this afternoon with Allan Saint-Maximin (£5.1m) and Miguel Almirón (£5.6m) either side of him.

Newcastle United XI (3-4-3): Dubravka; Dummett, Clark, Fernández; Ritchie, Shelvey, S Longstaff, Murphy; Almirón, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin.

West Ham United XI (3-4-1-2): Fabianski; Ogbonna, Diop, Dawson; Johnson, Soucek, Noble, Coufal; Fornals; Lingard, Bowen.

    That's a stylish way to implode, congrats West Ham

  11. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Agricultural tackle on the half way line.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Really good advantage played by the referee.

  12. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Banter West Ham are back!

  13. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    Bench boosted Dawson this week. Cool.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Could have triple captained him!

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Nothing can surprise me this season. Negative points from a bench boost sounds about right.

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I BB’ed this week too:

      Forster | Phillips | Lowton | Pereira

      Looks awful on paper but we know it can sometimes surprise us

  14. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 11 months ago

      What is the point of Mark Noble/ what has ever been the point of him

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        He's been an excellent player for West Ham.

        You know v little.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Weren't you the guy begging me for tips?

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              I was buttering you up to try to see your team.

              I was jesting because I was so surprised that you were doing so well with the amount of nonsense you spout on here.

            2. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              You started offering tips which was funny. Like an FPL pro but wouldn't share a team id!

      2. Sandy Ravage

        TOON

      3. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Dodging a West Ham defender on the wildcard was a good idea

      4. It's Fergie Time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        That puts Dawson on -2 points from his last 5 appearances. Digne must be watching and wondering how to step up his game.

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Bench boosted him

          • 10 Years
