The Gameweek 32 opener – and the first Premier League fixture since 22 March! – is West Ham United v Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Victory for the Hammers would take them out of the bottom three, at least until Sunday afternoon.

Kick-off at the London Stadium is at 20:00 BST.

TEAM NEWS

West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo makes five changes to the side that started against Leeds United in the FA Cup.

Mads Hermansen, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Tomas Soucek, Pablo Felipe and Crysencio Summerville are recalled for the hosts.

Alphonse Areola, Soungoutou Magassa, Freddie Potts and Adama Traore drop to the bench, while Max Kilman is not in the matchday squad.

Jean-Clair Todibo and Callum Wilson are back from injury and among the substitutes.

Wolves’ team news is much more straightforward: Angel Gomes comes in for the benched Mateus Mane, so his 14-match run in the starting XI comes to an end.

LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf, Soucek, Fernandes, Bowen, Pablo, Summerville, Taty

Subs: Areola, Wilson, Adama, Todibo, Magassa, Wan-Bissaka, Scarles, Potts, Kante

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Mosquera, S Bueno, Krejci, Tchatchoua, Andre, J Gomes, H Bueno, Bellegarde, A Gomes, Armstrong

Subs: Bentley, Wolfe, Hwang, Tolu, Lima, R Gomes, Toti, Mane, Edozie

    Bowen assist again

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Yes!

    2. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      FPL towers will find a way not to give him it

      Was a deflection before reaching Manvanparos

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        12 days, 11 hours ago

        So?

      2. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        12 days, 11 hours ago

        So did Bruno assist last GW, given

  3. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    You've got to be joking me. I had Mavro in the team for a second, but on a WC I couldn't force myself to do it.

  4. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years

    Is that a Bowen assist?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Yep, came off the defender

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      I guess with new rules it is...

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Doesn’t look like it from the replay

    4. Sergio Giorgini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Should be I think. Remember the Saka one that had two touches

  5. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    FFS

  6. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Could Bowen get that? Deflection of the corner

    1. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Hopefully if it was Bruno it would be an assist

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        12 days, 11 hours ago

        Saka as well

  7. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Not intended target

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Read the rules. Luckily it’s only gw32

  8. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    OMG - I brought in mavro and bowen this afternoon

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      And did they remain after 6.30?

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        12 days, 11 hours ago

        They most certainly did

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          12 days, 10 hours ago

          You have won then, congrats!

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      12 days, 10 hours ago

      All by yourself?

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years

    Fun fact

    Mavropanos was in my WC32 squad before they were knocked out by Leeds.

    1. DEO0420
      • 1 Year
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      I think he would have been in the majority of WC teams if westham were doubling, so dont stress it too much brotha!

  10. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Top of my ml has Bowen and Mav !

  11. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Mavropanos' renaissance has to be studied

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Gods sake Adam are you kidding med

  13. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Adama you pig

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Stopping bowers hattie of assists

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        12 days, 11 hours ago

        He already has 3

        1. Gizzachance
          • 11 Years
          12 days, 11 hours ago

          Cheers, missed 3rd !

  14. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Scout picks got it right with Mavropanos

  15. L'Aeroplanino
    • 9 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    lmao traore

  16. Ignasi M
    • 8 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    (ex) Arsenal player of the season? Mavropanos with a massive goal to help Arsenal win the league, and with massive goals to help relegate Spurs.

  17. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    You twit Traore

  18. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Should’ve been a 4th assist for Bowen

  19. Baps Hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Haaland has to brace or actually do a hattie after this.

  20. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Well played Scout Picks

  21. tutankamun
    • 16 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Bowen 3rd assist added

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Yes my boy 😛

  22. Tony Moon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Adama couldn't hit a barn door, even if it was illuminated, blowing in the wind, and with a nubile maiden in front of it beckoning him.

    1. Utopsis
      • 6 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      Shocking

  23. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Just need a Bowen goal here.

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      And 2 more DCs

  24. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    I'm surprised Bowen got that 3rd assist.
    But I'll take it.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      It’s not surprising at all

  25. leo_messi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Bowen 10 defcons, come on man, we need another two!

  26. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Fpl Harry brough Bowen in last night then chucked him on WC

    1. tutankamun
      • 16 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      WC for BB is often a trap. BB worst chip in the game.

      1. TallestJohn
        • 9 Years
        12 days, 11 hours ago

        Glad to have got it out the way early so I could go Bowen this week, then WC or FH in the double and move to Welbeck or DCL.

        Interesting seeing some content creators still have BB but haven't used WC to set it up this week, wonder what they're planning. Some even still have TC.

    2. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      12 days, 11 hours ago

      His team didn’t actually need a wildcard

  27. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Glad I didn't flinch and brought in Bowen instead of Watkins.

  28. Vlad Tepes
    • 9 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Damn I was picking between Mavropanos and Dalot. Endig up with the latter...

  29. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Mavro and Bowen with season defining hauls as we get to the business end!

  30. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    12 days, 11 hours ago

    Went NDiaye over Bowen. Dunno why. I do have a self sabotage streak where I can't just do the popular move.
