West Ham v Wolves team news: Scamacca starts, Coufal and Antonio benched

A good advert for John Wayne’s critically panned The Green Berets on Channel 5?

The two lowest-scoring sides in the Premier League meet in east London in the final Premier League match of the day, a fixture that doesn’t scream ‘entertaining Saturday evening fare’ on paper.

There is a bit of interest from a Fantasy Premier League (FPL) perspective, at least, with some of the Hammers’ assets targets of Gameweek 8/9 Wildcarders due to their upcoming fixture run.

As for the team news, West Ham boss David Moyes makes three changes to the side that started the 1-0 defeat at Everton in Gameweek 8.

Gianluca Scamacca, Maxwel Cornet and Craig Dawson all start as Michail Antonio, Vladimir Coufal and Pablo Fornals drop to the bench.

Bruno Lage’s only change from the 3-0 defeat to Manchester City is enforced, with Nelson Semedo replacing the suspended Nathan Collins.

That will presumably see Jonny move across to centre-half.

Diego Costa makes the Wolves squad for the first time but is only among the substitutes.

      D) Reach out to Mitrovic's camp and offer to nurse him back to health. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

            Sold Jesus for him in gw 2. Did the same again this gameweek for a hit. He is definitely out of my team.

      I am not selling this time around. Good fixtures in GW11, 12 (BOU, AVL).

        I might join you in gw 12.

    Clever Bowen assist that he must have kicked the Wolves players leg deliberately to find his target

    Horrible gameweek. Looking forward to next week. I think Trent and Sterling are the players to sell from my team, Mitrovic can stay on bench. Here are some early thoughts:

    Pope
    Trent - Trippier - Struijk - Saliba
    KDB - Sterling - Maddison - Martinelli
    Haaland - Toney

    1FT, 0.2m
    (Ward Andreas Neco Mitrovic*)

    A) Save FT
    B) Sterling ➝ Zaha
    C) Trent ➝ James
    D) Sterling, Saliba ➝ Zaha, James (-4)
