However, Alexis Mac Allister has been benched for the visitors, as Roberto De Zerbi makes four changes from the team that started Sunday’s 3-0 win at Arsenal.

Levi Colwill, who is absent from the matchday squad, Julio Enciso and Evan Ferguson also drop out, with Jan Paul van Hecke, Facundo Buonanotte, Deniz Undav and Danny Welbeck coming in.

As for Newcastle, they are unchanged, which means Eddie Howe has decided to start both Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak in attack once again.

    Why does MacAllister not start the double? They protecting him from injury to sell? Or lack of form?

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Lack of form. He is just not good enough.

  2. Kodap

    Sickening that last 5 minutes as an Isak capper and Wilson non owner.. rough.

    Most of my rivals now only 10/15 points behind, big couple of weeks! Is this G2G for the weekend?

    DDG
    Trippier - Taa - Shaw
    Mitoma - Salah - Mac10 - Mahrez - Rashford
    Haaland (c) - Isak

    Steele - Botman - Watkins - Zinchenko

      Would do Isak to Wilson if you have a FT tbh
      Hard to see Wilson being dropped from that central position

      1. zes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        NO go Alvarez. Stay ahead of the curve. Wilson is last week’s ponts

        1. Kodap
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          Would you take that for a -4?

          1. zes
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            No would play isak. Wilson probably rested next game if assume

            1. ryacoo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              3 years, 28 days ago

              Rested for what? Only two matches left and he's in the form of his life, chasing a 20+ goal season

              1. zes
                • 10 Years
                3 years, 28 days ago

                He’s not starting 3 games in 10 days at 31

      2. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        I'm 0.1 short of doing that move, so would have to take a -8 to get to him. Not worth it?

  3. zes
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Gotta say Wilson vs isak vs week was ultimate choice between people who watch games and people who listen to content creators. Well done Wilson cappers

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Isak 1 assist, Wilson couple goals, assist, two lots of bonus, That’s the difference for some.
      Isak owner !

      1. zes
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Was obvious for anyone watching Newcastle games, Wilson was through the middle

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      xMin ...

  4. v3n0m
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Bench one:
    A) Kane (BRE)
    B) Wilson (LEI)
    C) Grealish (CHE, bri)

    1. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Can't bench Wilson after today

  5. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Who is a better differential captain this week

    a) Bruno
    b) Rashford
    c) Mahrez
    d) Shaw
    e) KdB

    I'm leaning Bruno

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Maybe B if fit, otherwise A yeah

  6. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Bruno [C] next week for Wilson 2.0?

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      I'm inclined to do Saka>Bruno(c)

  7. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    COYI!

  8. Spiceyduck
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    A) Stones & Jota > TAA & Enciso (-4)
    B) Jota > Enciso & play stones

  9. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    i honestly cant believe wilson was still on the pitch at 90 minutes

  10. Wenger's Warriors
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Well done West Ham!!!

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Glad for them!

  11. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Steele
    TAA Trippier. Estupinan
    Salah. Bruno. Odegaard Mitoma. Grealish
    Haaland. Wilson.

    Ward. Isaak. Tarkowski Bueno 1.8m itb

    1) Trip and Grealish to Shaw and Rashford, -4

    2) As above plus Mitoma to Gundogan or Mahrez, another -4 : need to make moves tonight due to orice rises

    3) Mahrez or Gundogan in anove option ?

    4) Is shaw really worth bringing in , can see only 1 cs, less chance of attacking returns than current three defenders ?

  12. Chenku╰☆╮
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Can hammers still go down?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Probably not with their goal difference

  13. jimmy12
    • 12 Years

    150 points this week. Winning May mini league prize going according to plan.
    Playing BB next week, who to use my FT on?

    A) Dalot

  15. Bartowski
    • 15 Years

    1. Utopsis

  16. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Alright guys, am I good to go with these for next week? I really don't want to take a hit because im only 11/15 points clear after tonight's results but any move would be for a -4.

    DDG
    Trippier - Taa - Shaw
    Mitoma - Salah - Mac10 - Mahrez - Rashford
    Haaland (c) - Isak

    Steele - Botman - Watkins - Zinchenko

    3. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

  18. Fit_to_drop
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Chilwell, Saka, Solanke
    to

    Who can get more pts for DGW 37

    A- DDG BOU (A), CHE (H) -4

  23. The Ilfordian
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    It’s now 5-5 on aggregate. What a cracker

  24. Cheeky Reijnders
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    If only I'd capped Wilson instead of Isak (late change) I'd be home and hosed in my MLs. Still leading them but still a bit tight. 🙂

  25. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 28 days ago

    Fiorentina at the death by the way! 129' goal!

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 28 days ago

      Lots of Italy in European finals

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 28 days ago

        Fiorentina scored 10 in the quarters and semi's.
        West Ham scored 8 in the quarters and semi's.

        Odds on it being 0-0 and down to penalties? 😀

        1. The Ilfordian
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 28 days ago

          No doubt. West Ham coming good at the right time. Got lots of Hammers mates so wish you luck

          1. Zenith UK
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 28 days ago

            Watch us get relegated somehow and win

            Appreciate it!

        2. Cheeky Reijnders
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
