Nottm Forest v West Ham team news: Awoniyi makes first start

Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Nottingham Forest v West Ham United at The City Ground.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

Steve Cooper makes two changes to his starting XI, with Orel Mangala and Taiwo Awoniyi coming in for their first Forest starts, replacing Jack Colback and Sam Surridge.

The latter drops to the bench while Colback is missing from the squad.

Centre-back Scott McKenna is fit despite sustaining an injury in training and starts alongside Joe Worrall and Moussa Niakhate at the back in Cooper’s 3-4-1-2 formation.

Neco Williams, meanwhile, is the most-selected player in this fixture and is owned by 26.9 per cent overall, although he’ll be rooted to the bench for many.

For the visitors, new signings Maxwel Cornet and Gianluca Scamacca are both substitutes.

In the starting XI, Lukasz Fabianski overcomes an injury to feature in goal, with David Moyes’ only change arriving in midfield, as Said Benrahma comes in for Manuel Lanzini.

    Is R.James worth 6.0m if he is playing as central defender?

      Probably not if he plays every game there, which he won't.

      Won't play there every game.

      Plays every week then worth 6.0m - would presume playing RCB over RWB today due to playing Tottenham - would guess revert to RWB in other games with more chances of crosses/shots as further up the field

        Goal today against a strong Spurs defence from RCB

    Son you owe me at least 14 points today still fuming not doing the swap to KDB in place of 2FT.

      Son - long term wait might be worth it if form goes like last season

    Raya Sánchez or Henderson to replace Ward? Leaning towards Raya for next 4 before WC, thoughts?

      I have Henderson. He is going to be the most fun GK to own this season.

        Good selection

    2. Bluetiger1

      Personally I have gone for Raya from start of season knowing from GW3 fixtures good for Brentford plus if stays fit additional save points

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Both keepers are good for 4.5m

    What are we to make of no Perisic again? I wanted to bring him in for Dalot.

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 1 Year

      Perisic getting match fit - possible hold or look for alternative Defenders 5.0m or 4.5m. Dalot not 100% sure as United have real problems at the moment with next game against liverpool at home possible not the best one to bring him in for GW3?

      1. Bluetiger1
        • 1 Year

        An assist - Still not much fit but goes to show if you have him your squad worth (sitting/holding on) for the moment - need more GWs before assessing

    rofl, Man U considering terminating Ronaldo's contract unless his attitude improves xD

        Nobody more professional than the tantrum throwing, training missing, publicly trying to leave, injury faking, pen merchant. True professional

        1. have you seen cyan

          True, but cant blame Ronaldo for being unhappy, he can still act professional though.
