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.

GAMEWEEK 9 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Kehrer, Dawson, Zouma, Cresswell, Rice, Paqueta, Soucek, Cornet, Scamacca, Bowen

Subs: Areola, Coufal, Fornals, Antonio, Lanzini, Downes, Ogbonna, Benrahma, Emerson

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Ait-Nouri, Jonny, Kilman, Semedo, Neves, Moutinho, Neto, Podence, Guedes, Nunes

Subs: Sarkic, B Traore, Mosquera, Toti, Ronan, Costa, A Traore, Bueno, Campbell

      This week will be close. 17 points. Only Haaland(c), KDB and Maddison to play.

    Everyone has Arsenal cover for the banana fixture next GW ?

        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        At least

  3. panda07

    8 out of Wolves starting 11 are Portuguese

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      so less than usual.

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      The other 3 are Pastéis de Nata

  4. R.C

    Need to quit this game

  5. Bobby Digital

    West Ham vs. Portugal

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Will Portugal score ?

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Both have problems scoring...

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    It was so stressful to go with 0 Liverpool on a WC, but the early signs are good

    I’ll reconsider things in GW 12

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      What are your thoughts about owning Liverpool players atm?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I'm in the same boat. Will wait till GW12 like you.

      2. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Won’t go near them til real evidence they’re finding form again

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Jammy jammy points for Tripier owners

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      You didn't get him on your WC?

    2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Are you still not one?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I got him yes and I was one of the jammy owners

        Telling the truth and admitting jammy-ness

    3. Mario Balofail
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Jammying, Bawb Marely

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Bob 🙂 good one

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Well maybe not so jammy if the manager decides to replace 3 defenders all at once in the 83rd minute when 4-0 up. Best way to concede a late goal lol

  8. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Very happy I never took a hit this GW. Who is doing better than 27 points lol

    (Haaland and Maddison to go.

    Oh, and why did Mitrovic only play 36 minutes?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Haaland cap that is

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Camzy is doing better

        https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/23489/event/9

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Mitrovic got injured.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Oh wonderful. How bad is the injury?

        1. banskt
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          No idea mate. I was not watching that game. Not heard any news, rumors or speculations yet.

          People watching the game could update how it looked on the pitch.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      27 with Haaland c, KDB Maddison and Ward left. Small green so far

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah, at least a green arrow so far as well.

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Nice, forgot I still have Henderson in goal fwiw

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Good luck, might not be the worst GW

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Same there!

    4. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Me. 32 with 4 to play

  9. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Worth keeping any Pool players on WC? Diaz, maby?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Him, if any. Depends on the rest of your team. Lots of players in that price range, or cheaper.

  10. AARON-1
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Crap wildcard score in the end.
    Trent, James, Zaha, Toney, Mitrovic, Salah (c), please do better next week.
    25 points
    Very disappointing.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      You’ll soon get another EC

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        WC

        1. AARON-1
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Not sure I'd change much in all honesty. It just didn't go well. It was pretty template but I wasn't swayed by that. I built the team for next 4-5 games so let's see what happens.

  11. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    RMWCT

    Haaland Lewa Mbappe
    Kudus Sane Kvara Kimmich Valverde
    Guerreiro Davies Matip Meijer Cancelo
    Meyer Grbic

    0.7 itb any changes?

    1. Jebiga
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      No limitless?

    2. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Not enough Everton.

  12. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Thought Coufal was a regular starter?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I almost got him

      Maybe rested because of IB

    2. Vermeerish
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Anyone who had watched all our games this season could have told you that Coufal was off the money. Mad that he made the pick imho

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Speak up next time Verm with these kind of insiders info next time

        Zouma and Bowen nailed on right ?

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Anyone better?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Camzy

    2. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Just a little bit. 5 to go though.

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Any Lampard quotes or ITK info on why was Gordon benched ?

    Rested because of fatigue during IB maybe ?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Sickness during the week

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Aham. Ok not worried then.

        Cheers mate

    2. maglia rosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Must admit I thought of you Daniel with the ‘scoring goals to get in the England squad’ post when I heard the team news bud 🙁

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah the quote was the reason I got him in but I expect big things from him from GW 12 onwards mainly

        Everything now is a bonus

        1. maglia rosa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          I so nearly went for him too bud…..but went for Zaha instead. 🙄

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Zaha is a great pick you did good but Everton fixtures before WC are amazing so I still believe Gordon has goals in him

            1. maglia rosa
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Agreed mate….defo on my watchlist after looking at fixtures stats etc. wasn’t really expecting too much off Zaha this week tbf

  16. Bounce
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Imagine having 12 points with only 3 players left and a live rank of 6,153,003 lol. This person is an "expert" by the way...

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He is the former GOAT. Now Fabio is

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Who got that?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        He is referring to Mark Sutherns

    3. JRD
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      and he benched trippier auchh

    4. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He doesn't represent himself as an FPL expert, like some cocky people do.

    5. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      One of the best FPL managers in the history of the game. He'll still beat your rank at the end of season.

  17. DycheDycheBaby
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Looks like Mitro could have a price rise tonight. Would be lovely gain a 0.1 before selling him 😀

  18. banskt
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    17 points from 7 players. Haaland(c) doesn't count. Only KDB and Maddison left for the week.

    Feeling awesome. 🙂

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Atleast someone is worse off 😛

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Haaland will count if you capped him.

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      LMS safety at 16. Sounds like you're not alone

  19. Call Me Old Fashioned
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Kane and Foden or KDB and Toney?

    Will be WCing.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Kane for me till GW16

      The only stability besides Haaland

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I am keeping Kane. Probably will have to do Mitrovic to Toney if his injury is bad.

  20. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Looks like having a subs at this point of no use tbf. You don't know who starts and who will come on.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      What about GW 12?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        GW12 aside.

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          I would agree that, aside when subs are useful, subs aren't useful 🙂

  21. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Feck me, see Trossard got a hattie. Price rise on the cards for him I guess.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Surprised the Spurs game hasnt been called off yet

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      As a Grob owner and Almiron bencher today is so galling

  22. Scalper
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Idk about you guys but Zaha gives me troll vibes

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Maybe but his good fixtures start next week

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He has trolled me time and time a again over the years. Trossard is a easy move when I've had enough

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Does have the feeling of a player the consensus on here 'makes' me get in, then regret. Peeps made a case for Diaz > Zaha GW10. I'll probably do it.

  23. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Where are the fellow Solanke wc owners, today we feast on double the points of Toney at a budget price

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Also, outscoring Mitro by a huge margin..I'd say it is a win

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Played Mitro benched Solanke ... gutted!

  24. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Has Bowen scored yet?

  25. jimbe4mXL
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Toughts on Aubameyang? Will he start regularly? Thinking doing Mitro> Auba, after hearing he got injured.

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Kane + Haaland + Jesus IMO.

      Ride the blanks.

  26. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Hello folks, been on the road this afternoon. Salah [C] today and it seems did not work? How did Salah do today?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Same as the rest of the season

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Ta! Salah > Trossard on the card then 😛

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He played good enough but at the moment the service isn't anywhere near the quality of previous years

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Ta! Give him another game? KDB (SOU) is knocking the door ...

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          I would go for kdb if you think he starts against Southampton and can deal with gw12

          1. Magic Zico
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Cool, will watch MOTD tonight

    3. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Diaz is now the main man for Liverpool as far as I am concerned. Diaz did more as sub than Salah did for the 90.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Interesting and Firmino keeps doing the business?

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Yeah Firmino was great, worked like a dog as usual.

          I was wondering when Klopp would have the balls to drop Salah/TAA. It worked for Conte with Son.

  27. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Ffs scamacca scamming Bowen assist

  28. TorresMagic™

    Bowen near assist.

  29. Ingstagram

    Was seriously lmao when I saw a Salah and TAA hype train on here during the IB

    People never learn

    1. Magic Zico

        You are thinking of Mbeumo

    2. DARE TO BISCAN

      Did you comment about this during the IB?
