Dugout Discussion – Watford vs West Ham United

Gameweek 26 rolls on with an “unfashionable” evening encounter that pairs Watford with West Ham at Vicarage Road.

From a Fantasy perspective, this serves as a scouting mission of the Hammers assets ahead of potential investment for the Gameweek 28 blanks.

Slaven Bilic’s side are just one of eight teams that are currently guaranteed to play over that weekend and, as such, are elevated in our thinking ahead of this encounter.

Andy Carroll is again an absentee as he continues to struggle with a groin complaint, leaving Michail Antonio to lead the attack for the visitors. He’ll be under the microscope, along with Robert Snodgrass who tucks into the number 10 role against the Hornets.

For the home side, Fantasy interest is limited given their forthcoming blank, although promising fixtures to follow has us monitoring the continued form of Troy Deeney and M’Baye Niang.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I'm doing nearly as badly with 28 points. At least the overall average should be lowish.

      “I hope it’s a knock, we’ll see over the next few days,” Silva said when asked about Maguire’s injury.

      “What he showed for me and all our fans – he has a fantastic attitude and fantastic spirit.”

      “He was maybe 50 per cent for the whole of the second half and the last 10 minutes of the first half,” Silva said.

        Seems sensible enough. You'll get Antonio back for GW28 anyway.

        I am trying to navigate this period in a conservative manner, so basically the least hits possible. Would rather have quality than quantity.

            ? They do. If they go out of the FA Cup they have GW27 and GW28

            If they stay in the FA Cup they have a double GW for 27...

            Spurs have no fixtures GW 28 so only 1 fixture...

          Right now Lukaku > Aguero, leaves 0.2 in the bank.

          Lukaku rising (which he might) means I would get extra 0.1 for him when selling.

              True, let's hope that the current rate is just a 'splurge' of those who can afford him.

              I think that if City do beat Huddersfield then it's worth the extra 0.1. You bringing him in and captaining him?

        OMG, mauled by ML chasers, Kane (c) has to dig me out of this one.

        21 pts from 6 and likely to only field 10 if Lovren doesn't recover.

        Hazard -> Siggy before price rise tonight ?

        Then, consider Sterling or Aguero later after City midweek game.

        Pulis on Phillips:

        “He’ll have another scan on Wednesday I think, to see how it is, it was too much of a risk today and we don’t want to lose him further down the line,” Pulis added.

        “Big disappointment today, because the way Bournemouth play, they’re a very open, expansive team, and that grass they leave behind, and the space.

        “I was really disappointed he was injured.”
