Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes on Monday, with West Ham United v Bournemouth getting underway at 20:00 BST.

The Hammers were beaten by Liverpool last time out but have won two league matches in a row at home, while the visitors’ unbeaten run under Gary O’Neil came to an end against Southampton in Gameweek 12.

David Moyes makes just one change for West Ham, as Said Benrahma comes in for Pablo Fornals, who drops to the bench.

That means Gianluca Scamacca starts his fifth consecutive league match, with Michail Antonio potentially held back for Europa Conference League duty on Thursday.

However, Craig Dawson and Maxwel Cornet both miss out, while the game also comes too soon for Lucas Paqueta.

As for Bournemouth, they have no fresh injury concerns and are unchanged from the side that were beaten 1-0 by Southampton.

Dominic Solanke, owned by 3.6% of managers, leads the line hoping to add to his tally of six attacking returns (two goals, four assists).

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Downes, Benrahma, Scamacca

Subs: Areola, Randolph, Coufal, Ogbonna, Emerson, Lanzini, Coventry, Antonio, Fornals

Bournemouth XI: Neto, Fredericks, Mepham, Senesi, Smith, Lerma, Cook, Christie, Billing, Tavernier, Solanke

Subs: Travers, Stacey, Zemura, Stephens, Rothwell, Stanislas, Pearson, Moore, Anthony

    Ridiculous decision. He played the ball with both hands.

      His hands were cuffed in front of him. The upstanding gentleman did nothing outwith the laws of the game.

    4. Hairy Potter

      Should keep them up. Not really sure what the expectations are for the Villa owners and fans. Anywhere between 11th-15th would be a really good season for Villa in my opinion. I don't pay to want them week in, week out so my opinion isn't important though.

    Manager to player…. Zouma, I need you to get a goal tonight.
    Zouma… me how?…

    Who to bring in to replace Solanke (was going to anyway)? Have Haaland and Kane. Would go with Mitro but he has MC in GW 15...Toney I don't really trust, but maybe the best?
    Already have 3 ARS.
    Thanks guys

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Maybe Mitro for just EVE game?

    2. Firminooooo
      4 years, 3 days ago

      1. bso

      1. Gizzachance
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Wolves an forest before city, Toney may be my Solanke replacement

        1. Old Bull
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Think you should see the old Brentford again at home

      Wilson

    6. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thanks All. Toney is probably the sensible one.

      1. Old Bull
        4 years, 3 days ago

        One thing I would add is that I’ve got Kane Haaland and Mitro and I’m never too bothered when a striker goes up against a stronger team. Always feel that out of all positions a striker will be the most likely to salvage something and if they don’t it’s just like any game week where they’ve blanked. So I’m comfortable with Mitro against City.

        1. bso
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Thanks Old Bull. That makes sense and my gut says Mitro. (My brain Toney).

    7. SirWenger
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Toney

  6. Ady87
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Needed those Zouma returns BAD with 28 on the bench.

    1. Nomar
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Awesome bench!

    2. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Zouma, Almiron, N.Williams on bench = 31 points 🙁

  7. Rains of Castamere
    4 years, 3 days ago

    You always remember your cheap defender 15 pointers. Holebas away at Middlesbrough stands out. Hopefully Zouma can deliver the same. Clean sheet please Hammers.

    1. Nomar
      4 years, 3 days ago

      This.

  8. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Neto been hooked, quite ironic.

  9. Gunners in Haaland
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Neto injured?

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Yip

  10. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Travesty on in goal … make it so Bowen.

    1. Rainer
      4 years, 3 days ago

      HoleBAPs is a legend!

  11. Old Bull
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Should I

    A) Go Son to Almiron this week.
    B) Leave it a week and get Cancelo and Almiron
    C) Son to ?

    Already own Foden Saka Martinelli Andreas 0.1itb

  12. Nomar
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Zouma double tonight would be amazing!

  13. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Benny you selfish little Crossroads hasbeen.

    1. Nomar
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Memories of Miss Diane come flooding back....

    2. Hairy Potter
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Lol, is he wearing his hat with the rip in it?

  14. Gizzachance
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Even the w ham players don’t wanna pass to Bowen!

    1. g40steve
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Noticed that playing with selfish idiots

  15. Saintjack01
    4 years, 3 days ago

    A)Bruno for zaha
    B)Antony for Gordon

  16. Firminooooo
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Are they drunk? Just blasting the ball from 30m! Scamaca and Benrahma every time. Give the ball to Bowen!

    1. Supersonic_
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Protecting their Zouma BPS

  17. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Bowen isn't going to do anything is he. Especially when Benrahma just wants to shoot rather than pass to Bowen in good positions.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      4 years, 3 days ago

      No, no he is not. Let’s just move past this stinking game week and onto the next stinking game week.

    2. Hits from the Bong
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Don’t think Scamacca helps Bowen. He was at his best last season with Antonio peeling out wide and taking defenders with him, allowing Bowen to run into the space left upfront. He was a proper false 9, and got to play at being striker without the back to goal, holding the ball up stuff. While he never did as well when starting as central striker.
      Scamacca is much more of a central focal point so Bowen has to stay out wide more often and is running into more traffic when cutting inside etc. Will take time to adapt and learn each other’s game, but think Bowen has suffered so far

  18. Barphilona
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Any 4.1m or under defenders that actually play other than Neco/Patterson (when he’s not injured). Toti at Wolves?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Bruno at Wolves is 3.9 and posting good stats

      1. Barphilona
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Perfect, thanks mate

  19. My heart goes Salalalalah
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Watching this game convinced me to move Bowen to Saka

  20. bench boost for every gamew…
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Emerson red, Lerna yellow. Reason: Emerson hits Martinellis ankle, Lerna missed Scamaccas. Lerna takle is wild, crazy and a clear red. Emerson is a clumsy takle with no intent.

    1. Herger
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Also Kevin Moran for us in the 1985 FA Cup final vs Everton. Not a red imo.

  21. jacob1989
    4 years, 3 days ago

    I sold zouma last week for a hit.
    What have i done? Season definining decision

    1. Scalper
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Why sell before a near guaranteed clean sheet

      1. jacob1989
        4 years, 3 days ago

        He was doubt to Liverpool away which was anyways not a good matchup. And didn't have enough players. Should have just sold that moron Foden instead

    2. valurth
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Well it was better than having him on the bench with 15 points. Had Trippier, Cancelo, Gomez playing

  22. Scalper
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Gotta feel bad for LTFPL Andy. Captained Salah and now Solanke off injured w 1 pointer. Rip

    1. George Sillett
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I'll just get his bag for him

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I find it hilarious tbh

    3. Herger
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time.

    4. George Sillett
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Poor sod conning all those gullibles out of their hard earned cash

    5. The Knights Template
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I feel bad for Michael Fabricant.

      1. Gazwaz80
        4 years, 3 days ago

        I feel bad for his hairdresser…

    6. FCHaalandaise
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Captaining anyone other than Haaland for the rest of the season (unless injured or confirmed not playing ahead of time), is simply...

      Stupid. No sympathy.

      The other one is bad luck.

    7. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Egyptian slippers for Xmas in the post.

      1. George Sillett
        4 years, 3 days ago

        He really needs a lesser being to carry his bag for him .

  23. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Few minutes to Bowen 3 point mega haul

    1. Gizzachance
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Don’t jinx his 3 pts!

  24. JBG
    4 years, 3 days ago

    F**king do something productive Bowen!

    1. g40steve
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Can’t Benny just wasting shots

  25. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Flappy Hands sat on his goal line eating a picnic with wine.

  26. BrockLanders
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Benrahma totally ruins Bowens appeal. Horrible, greedy player.

  27. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Which option this week?

    A) Trossard to Martinelli
    B) Doherty to White

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      4 years, 3 days ago

      A

  28. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 3 days ago

    West Ham look a better team with Antonio than Scamacca.

  29. Count of Monte Hristo
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Jarrod Boring.

  30. Atimis
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Is Zaha or Salah to Saka worth a hit this week?
    My FT will be getting def so I don’t have to play Castagne vs City.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Not worth
