Jota leads line as £3.9m Johnson continues at right-back for West Ham

In the final match of Gameweek 11, West Ham United host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

West Ham are unchanged from the XI that beat Aston Villa 4-1 in Gameweek 10.

That means another start for budget defender Ben Johnson (£3.9m) at right-back, with Vladimir Coufal (£4.8m) again having to settle for a place on the bench.

Further forward, Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m), Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) feature in David Moyes’ 4-2-3-1 formation, behind lone forward Michail Antonio (£8.2m).

As for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp makes four changes from last weekend, with Joel Matip (£5.0m), Fabinho (£5.4m), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£5.8m) and Diogo Jota (£7.5m) replacing Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m), Naby Keita (£5.0m), Curtis Jones (£5.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m).

GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Dawson, Coufal, Diop, Masuaku, Fredericks, Kral, Noble, Lanzini

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Salah, Mane, Jota

      I did the same move this gw to James and was called silly on here.

    Were Spurs as bad as the data suggests?
    Son 0 shots?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      All fart no poo

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, they were absolute turd.

      Could have played another 90 and still not registered a shot on target.

  4. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Should we be ditching Antonio now?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No way

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        But only 2 goals in last 7 and no assists despite West Ham scoring lots?

    2. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I did this gw, but wouldnt do so before Wolves.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ok maybe keep but really disappointed with returns last 7 games

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

      No

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A number of his teammates can’t stop scoring and getting assists and he keep ms blanking

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Patience is key.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years

            Ok cheers

    4. Root

      For whom exactly?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        That’s the problem not much out there !

    5. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Star centre forward for in-form 3rd place team? Sure. Do it.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Okay hear you all loud and clear but it’s a valid point that despite West Ham free scoring and on form he is getting many goals or assists

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          If Antonio's your biggest issue, you've nowt to worry about. Enjoy your evening

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 3 Years

            Ok ta you too mate

    6. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      And replace with who? All the forwards are meh.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Agree on that point!

    7. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I don’t think I would now. I got rid on my WC a few weeks ago, but that was always with a view to getting him back when fixtures improved - and the alternatives aren’t doing much either. I’d hold at this stage

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ok cheers mate thought float it out there - think I am on mount & Jesus to son & 5.8m forward (maybe king pukki!!)

    8. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      He played well. Yes, he has been very unlucky. But he played well, unlike Spurs for example. There are times to act fast and there are times to have patience. He is due to get a haul. Selling him for Vardy or Kane is for morons imo.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Patience then cheers

  5. OPTA FPL

    Cancelo 5 assists Trent 1 goal 3 assists in 4 days

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      4 for Trent.

      Origi one the pick of the bunch 😀

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      Keep Mbeumo?

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Yes, but not yet.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years

      Shame for us owners that 5 of those assists were in the CL

  6. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Annoying my rival benched Antonio for Livramento and has come out smelling of roses.
    The outcome went his way, but I’d still make the same choice again every time. The luck just didn’t go my way this time…

    1. OLEgend
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That's not luck,he is brave enough to make the tough call

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Antonio was behind Livra on my bench.

    Is 76 points good for this gameweek?

    1. Gazza2000

      Yep

      1. Yozzer

        Sucka

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Huge

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      No. Average here is 77.

    4. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No. Avg around here is 104

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      Very poor. Are you 12?

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      No idea. Find out later.

    7. shiraz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It is above average. Probably a green arrow for you

    8. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      C'mon now. If you straight up bragged, I'd at least have some grudging respect.

    9. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      It may seem like a green arrow, but it's only xGreenArrow. It's quite below the average, actually.

    10. Eh, just one more thing ...

  8. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    48 points from my defence, not bad. 25 from the rest…not so good.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Value in def and mid. But we know this may change.

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years

      47 here too including GK. Brentford double up and Jota/Foden stinking up the team

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I had a great GW but Mane was so frustrating, he gets so many chances but he is just not clinical anymore.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      Just one of those days.

  10. Critical Observer

    34 points on the bench. Decent.

    2. Firminooooo

      That means you have a good team.

      1. Critical Observer
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Silly me not realizing I obviously should have started Foster, Livramento, White and Normann instead of Ramsdale, Mbeumo, Toney & Vardy.

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Also Foster and Normann on my bench. Thank god Antonio and Hwang didn’t haul from my bench.

        2. Baps hunter

  11. Bushwhacker

    Fantastic performance by West Ham. Shocker from Liverpool and the ref. Such days happen.

    1. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, I don’t think Craig Pawson is good enough but wouldn’t blame him for Pool’s defeat

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool have a GD of +20 and only 2 points from Arsenal who they meet next.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Scoring 5 vs weak sides like United if you can't defend vs better ones in Brighton & West Ham is a waste of time!

  13. gilean
    • 7 Years

    Should I do Rudiger-> James or Mbeumo-> Gallagher?

    1. mojoindojo

  14. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years

    Dias or Chilwell to TAA?

    Also have Cancelo and James…..

    1. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Dias

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Dias for now but I can see a few City cleanies on the way.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Even so, cleanies are not enough when we have attacking assets like Cancelo, TAA, Chilly and James and perhaps even Stones.

    Chalobah > james (got rudriger)
    Or
    Klich > Someone who atleast plays

    What's the priority?
    4.7 ITB

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      Chalobah doesnt play as well so prioritize both for free

    2. DARE TO BISCAN

      1st one

    93 -4 with bench boost, halved my rank,and I'm still disappointed Antonio blanked

  18. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Raphinha and ESR are killing me the last few GWs. Think I will have to bring them in just to stop them scoring, like I did with Vardy.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Leicester were unable to stop Bielsa ball today, absolutely pressed out of the game.

      1. PartyTime
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah. Leeds outplayed Leicester. Leicester struggling tbh

        1. ZeBestee
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Goes to show playing against Leeds won't be a definite leaky defence. Their pressing minimizing their defending weakness.

          1. Firminooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 months ago

            Thinking Havertz out for Jota/Raphinha. Don’t know who to bring in for Vardy.

            1. ZeBestee
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 7 months ago

              I think keeping him for 1 more gw not the worst decision as there are not a lot of alternatives, maybe u go big with Cr7 as i feel they will turn a small corner now that fix are changing.

  19. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

    Of the 2 who would you keep long term

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Neither. Happy to brag to have the preferred defense:

      TAA, Cancelo, James, Chilly, Livra

      1. Firminooooo

          It's bonus points, one got 8 vs 7, rather the 8. If Arsenal conceded then you'd have more merit.

          Currently on Toney. Never thought it would come to this.

      Probably Toney. I'm in same boat. Looking at ESR over one of them.

      If Spurs had shown something, was considering Kane.

    Ready to copy and paste tomorrow

    Rough:
    - Sold Bachmann for Guaita (6) so I could bench Foster (11)
    - Also benched Cancelo (14) & Livramento (6)

    Previous weeks:
    GW10: Benched Smith Rowe (9) & Livramento (6)
    GW9: Benched Smith Rowe (13) & Trent (10)

      Gutted, I've just counted up and I've benched 84 points in the last 3 weeks

        I read this with a massive slice of cheese hanging out of my mouth, fyi.

        84 points is horrific. I hope someone of them were GK points while your playing keeper got returns to cover!

          Haha, Foster this week and Ramsdale last week. Missed Cancelo this week, ESR in 9 & 10 and Livra for the last 3. Somehow still managed a green arrow in all 3

    76 after the bonuses hope to go under 20k …

      Nice score. Well done.

    Time to shift Antonio?

    Flattering to deceive and blankety, blank for 2 weeks now..

      Wolves next so possibly.

        Such a frustrating own

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Got away with benching this GW.

    Duffy to TAA and:

    Vardy or Kane?
    --> Jimenez

  27. Ruudy Van
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Meslier to Lloris??

    Have exact cash and not sure why I got Meslier on my wildcard

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Could work out, but Spurs are a work in progress so I feel there are cheaper better options in Ramsdale, Guiata and even Sanchez

    Have hit the Wildcard button, probably to distract from another GW of bad decisions. First thing getting Mount out of there!

    1. I Must Break You

      Keep us updated

        Will update once I get my head round it!

    2. ZeBestee

      Mount was an ok pick, injury didn't help his course but we all knew he couldn't come close to replicate that haul.

      1. Tic Tacs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah it was a knee jerk on my part to get him in, then he came on with 5 mins to go this week to block Gallagher coming off first bench!

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't know who to get in. Forwards are a wasteland.

      1. Tic Tacs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I already have Jimenez, Toney and Antonio… so I’m gonna be winging it

  29. Footieboot

    Not looking forward at all to next GW. Sanchez destroyed my already complicated transfer plans.

    1. JariL
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I think I'll just keep him and accept 0 points for a week.

    2. Zebras
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Raya & Sánchez on wildcard for me have been a disaster. Undecided myself on whether to accept the 0 or take a hit

  30. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Quite possibly

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely maybe
