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

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Thiago, Minamino, Tsimikas, Origi, Phillips, Williams, Morton

    64 all out. Could've been better but green arrow makes me happy. Wanted to take an early look at the team

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA Dias James Livramento
    Salah Havertz Raphinha Mbuemo
    Kane Antonio

    Subs: Saka Duffy Davis

    1FT and 0.7 its

    A. Saka >> Gallagher
    B. Havertz >> Foden/Jota
    C. Saka + Havertz >> Jota + B. Silva (-4)

    1. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      No hit needed..
      I wud do A..

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Easily B

  2. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Maybe I will have to bring in Bowen, Fornals or Benrahma if West Ham keep this up. Low EO.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Bowen the man

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Have benny and Antonio who likes a blank..

    3. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Benny is terrible

  3. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    New rule. Always start the defender over the attacker.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Also dont target Norwich with donkeys.

      1. Kun Tozser
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        This!

    2. Superflymonk
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yeah, the frontline is becoming a joke. Whether you pa 12m or 10.8m or 5.7m you get your weekly ration of 2 pts.

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Back 5 is tempting, at this point.

    4. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Especially the attacking ones.

    5. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Got 5 at the back ready for next GW. Should backfire perfectly.

  4. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Was going to do Havertz > Jota but am wavering now. Gallagher looks a better bet

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Go for Jota. Pool to fill their boots v arsenal

  5. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Foster (sanchez)
    Matip taa rudi (christ white)
    Raph salah mbeumo town (sisoko)
    Vardy antonio jimi

    Which ?

    A) WC
    B) matip town -4 to cancelo/james/reglion
    moura/jota/galagher/zaha/bsilva

    1. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      B not a bad idea. Cancelo and Jota/Gallagher, tough call between those two.

  6. dshv
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Ramsdale foster
    Taa james cancelo duffy livra
    Salah raphinha mbeumo esr foden
    Antonio vardy hwang
    2.7 itb 2ft

    What to do?

    Mbeumo to zaha?
    Vardy to kane/ronaldo?

    1. EL tridente
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Will do Vardy to Kane myself

  7. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Azpi+Saka+Vardy -> TAA+Son+Hwang (-4) Yay or nay?

    Also is Hwang best option 6.5m or lower? Who is?

  8. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    According to phone app: Bobby Firmino the most in-form striker, at 6.0. Followed by Josh King at 4.8

    Inspiring stuff.

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Top of the list.

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Soon to be Wilson

    3. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Lol

  9. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Vardy is useless. When is Lukaku back?

    1. How I met your Mata
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I’m considering Wilson for a couple weeks for him

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Lukaku also useless, trust me

    3. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Almost all the strikes are useless in recent weeks...
      541 or 451 is the way to go.

    4. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Had Vardy, Lukaku and Ronaldo all useless when playing for me

    5. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Lukaku is richman's useless

  10. How I met your Mata
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    94 points going into the international break, lovely stuff!!

    1. Here is Cash, give McGinn
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      No Mata what you say can make me feel better of 50p

    2. BrockLanders
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Well done. Great week

  11. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Rodgers to replace Ole being quite widely ‘reported’ …. Good move for Man U … worrying for Leicester?

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Rodgers no better than Ole

      1. Bushwhacker
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Oh please.

      2. BrockLanders
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Lol

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Stevie G to Leicester next season. Couple of years Prem experience, before replacing Kloppo?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Could go to Villa ?

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          Don't think he'd leave Rangers mid-season.

          1. Babit1967
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 29 days ago

            Why not Rodgers left Celtic mid season and was supposedly a big Celtic fan, money talks

            1. DARE TO BISCAN
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 29 days ago

              Don't think he's strapped for cash. Villa not a big enough pull to risk his reputation on.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Rodgers isnt a good move for Man U. Yes he is better than Ole but still he isnt of the right pedigree. Fast forward 2/3 years and they will be calling for Brendan out, perhaps longer because he will steady the ship, but he wont get them winning titles. Could be a wasted 6 years for Man U if they go down that route

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Think he be great with the squad they have. Remove some dross. Get a couple of his own in. Happy days

      2. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Got to agree here, even as a Rodgers fan.

        He'll steady the ship, get them playing some good football, if that's your benchmark. But will he get them challenging like the fans want? I don't think so.

        Also, a lot of egos in that dressing room. What pedigree or collection of trophies does Rodgers have? Moyes faced similar problems with the ehos at United.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          I think Brendan would do what poch would have done at ManU, get them to a good level, but ultimately not quite winning. He can win some stuff, but I dont see him realistically competing for any big titles

  12. EffPeeEll
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    83 points all out.

    Played the bench boost, and I'd settle for this in any DGW week.

    Foster 8 points (sanchez's saviour)

    Bissouma 1 point

    cancelo 14 points

    Gallagher 11 points.

    started the GW 75K ended it 21K

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Foster has 11 doesn't he?

      1. EffPeeEll
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        did he get 3 baps ?

        still 83 though but not complaining

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Fosters getting 11 mate

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Wish I’d played my BB too now, foster 11, White 8, Livramento 6, Antonio 2

        1. EffPeeEll
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          oops you're correct my bad.

          the only reason I played BB was because I just couldn't pick an eleven without feeling like it was the wrong 11.

          1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 29 days ago

            Haha I felt exactly the same mate!!! My inital plan was to bench Ronaldo, Foden and Antonio and start White and Livramento in a 5-4-1 !!! I wish I’d been brave and done so now!!! Haha

  13. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Marcal & Antonio to James & Armstrong -4?

    Yes or no?

    1. Fish up a tree
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      No
      You have to keep Antonio as West Ham are on fire

      He is the only striker nailed in the game for me.

      Unlike Kane & Toney his goals will come mate

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Antonio is the one forward I'm not concerned about.

  14. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Havertz to

    A Cornet

    Thanks 🙂

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Cant afford more expensive players as need to upgrade Laporte to cancelo

    2. FourLokoLeipzig

      B has fixtures plus form

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years

        Thank you

  15. MGMT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Wondering what all those Raphinha sellers are thinking now…

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Depend who they sold him for though

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Why?

    3. Assisting the assister
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Season keeper

    4. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Selling Raphinha for Sarr was the worst transfer I've made this year. I had a transfer to burn and forced a move I didn't really need. Idiotic.

    5. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      im tempted as the fixtures are poor up until GW19: tot bha CRY BRE che mci ARS liv
      only the Brentford game looks good

    1. acidicleo

      A

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Coin toss

      I look at it this way:

      James is a 5.9m attacking midfileder that will get rotated

      Chilwell is a more nailed premium wing-back

      Got James myself and he's been so good, but next week it might be Chilwell who steals the show

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Chilwell more nailed and less likely to get1 point off bench

  17. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Bench boost of Jammy foster, livra, hwang, Antonio, 21 points. Guess you take that and move on

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Nothing else you can do, really.

  18. Alexis Nonsense
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Did Liverpool have a bad day or is West Ham that good this season?

    West Ham on top 3 of attack and defence stats lately

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      More West Ham were excellent.

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yes.

    3. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      West ham good. Alisson poor.

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Liverpool were all over the place at the back. Trent is one of their biggest strengths and also one of their biggest weaknesses as he hardly defends.

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Both. Liverpool (and ref) at fault for three poor goals.

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Do you think Antonio a hold for now despite fixtures?

    1. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yes

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Wolves next is a good fixture for him.

    3. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I'm holding. West Ham can score against anyone. He'll get on the end of something soon. Plus there are no other obvious forwards worth using a transfer.

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Hold until hammies go ping, or a reasonable alternative emerges.

  20. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    I have £6.4m to spend on a striker. Should I just go Keinan Davis and hold the £2m for next week?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Livramento
    Salah Son Foden Raphinha
    Jimenez Antonio

    (Foster Rudiger Brownhill XXXXX)

  21. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Pick one to transfer in: Jota, Gallagher or Zaha?

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I have Jota myself but I would say Gallagher. Palace are a different team this year and good fixtures coming.

    2. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Gallagher

  22. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Is Steele likely to start for Brighton with Sanchez out?

    1. Eastman
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Should do yes

  23. mojoindojo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Going 5 at back next gw. Bench order OK?

    Guaita
    James Chilwell TAA Dias Livra
    Salah Raph Foden
    Antonio Auba

    4.0 Saka Hwang Bissouma

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Sell Auba for Jimi?

      1. mojoindojo
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Will keep him for Toons then evaluate

    2. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Get Cancelo

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Saka > Gallagher?

  25. Eastman
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Forgot to change Foster back to Sanchez this week. 12 points to the good. It's a funny old game sometimes.

  26. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Who scores more points next GW?

    A. Smith Rowe (liv)
    B. Wilson (BRE)

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Wilson.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Wilson

  27. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Any player you would move on pre week 12 ? Havertz to Jota/Foden was plan but not so sure ?

    Foster
    TAA James Cancelo Chilwell
    Salah Havertz Raphinha Mbeumo
    Kane Antonio

    Sanchez Livramento ESR Scarlett

  28. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Who to bench?

    A) Foster (MUN)
    B) Ramsdale (liv)

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Rams

  29. AzzaroMax99
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Thinking to switch to 2 attacker formation - sell Antonio, Havertz & DLuiz* for Broja(or Davis) Son & Gallagher (-4)
    That would give me this team

    Guaita
    Taa Cancelo Chilwell Livra
    Salah Son Raphina Gallagher
    Vardy Wilson

    Steer ESR Broja/Davis Omobamidele

    2 weeks for contemlating but this sounds like a plan for now. Opinions?

  30. tangtastic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    I was planning a move for Son but actually thinking of going into gw12 with:

    .........................................................Steele
    .............................TAA Cancelo James Chilwell Livramento

    Finding it hard to spot promising players going into next week that upgrade on what I have.

      Looks good- I'd hold that team and formation and make changes if any IB injuries.
