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

GAMEWEEK 9 RESULTS SO FAR

Liverpool3 – 3Brighton and Hove Albion

    FPL leader has triple Newcastle: Almiron, Trippier and Schär and Mitro on the bench (as well as Dias) on a wildcard. Genius takes many forms

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      That's why he's the leader!

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Assumed gender sorry. Might not be a he 😛

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Nazeer is a he so whether by chance or not, you were correct

    2. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He’s just lucky. That’s why he’s top.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Going Salah (c) over Haaland will be painful for him though

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He must be good or he wouldn’t be too but apart from the slightly off the trend decision to cap Salah over Haaland, I can’t imagine what world involves Adam Armstrong and Tavernier being selected over Mitrovic and Dias. I’m guessing he’ll drift from the top by GW38

  2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Paqueta is pretty useless then.

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      But but he's Brazilian.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Too much packet.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not enough Rice?

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Brazilian attacking/flair midfielder doesn't sound Moysey's cup of tea

  3. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why was Mitro taken off?

    1. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Injury

  4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I guess they are happy to be in the pl but it must be depressing be a wolves fan and watching this week in week out

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I know some Norwich fans who are happier being in the champ

      1. Stamford B
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That’s modern football. It’s all become a bit pointless but we still go through the motions.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I understand that. Something to cheer and be positive about

        Can get dispiriting watching your team getting torn apart most weeks

        But Norwich were at least fairly attacking. Not sure wolves in the championship would be more entertaining or perhaps they may shift tactics

    2. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      It’s pretty much their entire history so they’re probably used to it.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not saying they were great but under nuno they were somewhat attacking

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Got to be hard having your biggest asset taken out by a career changing injury. Hope they insured

  5. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Disastrous week for wildcarders.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nah, just those who spent two weeks overthinking. Bit of a red herring to say that wildcarding wad the issue

      1. They are eating the dogs
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Let me guess. You brought in Trossard and captained him?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          No I got in Chillwell for Cucu on a free transfer

          1. They are eating the dogs
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Are you wildcarding in GW13?

            1. Ginkapo FPL
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              No

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why is that?

    3. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Well, WC is not just for a week…

  6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    All set for WC 13. FT for Jesus on Mitro this week the real disappointment

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How does WC13 team look?

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Going super thin in defense. Treating it like a 4 week FH.

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Three-mium?

          1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Will be four if Salah shows any signs of improvement

            1. Magic Zico
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Ok, rolling dice for captaincy every week then? 😛

              1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Yes! And hoping it falls correctly each time.

  7. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years

    Tell you what. Undeserved assys, taste sweeter than deserved ones.

  8. SirWenger
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    That Bowen assist must be removed, or this game is real hoax

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Watch it again mate

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        We have - he lost control and was on his back. He didn't 'make an attempt' on goal

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Attempt blocked. Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United) right footed shot from the centre of the box is blocked.

        2. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Watch it one more time

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      His final touch set up the block for the assist, let it go.

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        So its a 'touch' now, not an 'attempt'? 🙂

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          A touch on target is an attempt.

        2. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          TM is the equivalent of Peter Walton

            Peter Walton hasn't got a clue!

  9. FOO FIGHTER

    Thank heavens I have 0.5 ITB.

    Exactly enough to do Mitro to Toney 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I am benching Mitro 🙁

  12. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Is Eduoard snow option, or is he still getting hooked on 62 or 67 mins, and the like?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Still getting hooked. In the age of 5 subs a lot of wingers will be

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 14 Years

      still an* - apologies.

  13. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years

    Any reason they put West Ham Wolves this weekend with 9 better games?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just checking if it’s “help for insomniacs weekend”

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They have to show each club twice, so clearing two poor teams in the midst of big derbies when viewing would be low anyway

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I didn't know that.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Happens in the first half of the season. Sometimes they try and guess a hammering, sometimes its a poor timeslot

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          2 nil West Ham

  14. Stamford B
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Declan Rice is probably the best holding midfielder in the world and certainly the best English one for as long as I can remember. The England team is good enough to win the WC but we’ve got ex Middlesbrough manager Southgate in charge. You couldn’t make it up.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You just did

        1. Herger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
