Wake up! There are two more Premier League matches to come today.

The goal-starved 3pm kick-offs may have been a good advert for a Saturday afternoon trip to the garden centre but the penultimate game of the day will, hopefully, be a bit spicier.

It’s West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium, where kick-off is at 5.30pm BST.

TEAM NEWS

No side’s games have seen more goals than those involving West Ham United this season (12).

Their boss, Graham Potter, makes one change to the side that beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in Gameweek 3.

It’s seemingly enforced, as Niclas Fullkrug was a doubt for this match with a calf issue and drops to the bench.

Crysencio Summerville comes in for a start.

As for Spurs, Thomas Frank hands a debut to Xavi Simons following his recent move.

Mathys Tel and Lucas Bergvall also start as Rodrigo Bentancur, Richarlison and Brennan Johnson make way. International exertions may have played a part in those decisions.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Hermansen, Diouf, Kilman, Mavropanos, Walker-Peters, Ward-Prowse, Soucek, Fernandes, Paqueta, Bowen, Summerville.

Subs: Areola, Julio, Wilson, Fullkrug, Guilherme, Magassa, Wan-Bissaka, Potts, Irving.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Spence, Van de Ven, Romero, Porro, Sarr, Palhinha, Bergvall, Simons, Tel, Kudus.

Subs: Kinsky, Danso, Richarlison, Udogie, Johnson, Odobert, Bentancur, Davies, Kolo Muani.

    Never watches a minute of football in my life before mates at work asked us to join FPL. I remember, not taking FPL points into consideration, David Silva being a magician in my opinion.
    That's all...

      I’d dump him tbh
      His XGI was awful before today

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Struggling to find good replacement though

    2. Calafiornication

    Late to the party. My 0-0 prediction for Fulham - Leeds wasn't apparently far. Almost a perfect FPL evening with Andersen and Rodon. Rodon also one away from DC points.

    Decent week ruined by benching Romero
    Hey ho

    1. THE Wild Rover

      Unlucky. Didn’t you almost win the whole thing one year iirc?

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I was up to 36th once with about 5 weeks to go.
        My friend won it though about 10/12? Years ago.

    17 from 7…….anyone stinking it up worse than that so far?

    1. SINGH
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      8 (-12)

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      yup. 16 from 7

  11. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best 4.5 to replace Douf before he drops? Have Porro and Munoz and 2 bench warmers

    1. Admiral Benson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Richards or Andersen

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

      Andersen VDB

    3. Dank Squid
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Happy Andersen owner, this week, but Richards is even better. DCs = equal, but Palace will most likely get more CS

    damsgaard missing through illness

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

  14. Defaid Daniel

    A)Wood and b)Watkins dropping tonight, which would you transfer out? Would keep them in for the coming fixtures but I’ve already seen quite a few price drops in my squad.

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

      Do not have enough FTs is my problem, only way out is WC

      1. Admiral Benson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Bad week to WC I reckon.

    Palmer still feeling some pain, according to Maresca.

    Palmer to …

    a. Semenyo
    b. anyone else?

    My midfield is Bruno, Kudus, Reijnders, Gakpo.

    1. Dank Squid
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I might have to retract my comment below. Palmer out = Enzo might be an option

      That being said, Semenyo is the one

  16. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So who's the best Johnson replacement? (7.6 max - already got Semenyo & Reinjders)

    A) Enzo
    B) Grealish
    C) Xavi
    D) Eze
    E) Other ideas?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B or C. If going Arsenal
      You could go Madueke, was class today

    2. Dank Squid
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Grealish away vs Liverpool soon + missing GW 8 (vs Manchester City). Palmer comeback, slow re-introduction according to Maresca, but it will still affect Enzo.

      C or D out of those.

  17. Dank Squid

    Buendia starting every pre-season match, often assisting/scoring, but then getting limited minutes (20-30 minute subs) in PL games - just the way the world works. Seeing him in the starting eleven today, Guessand and Elliot both on the bench, was a surprise.

    That Schade is a smooth operator.
