Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Huddersfield

The Gameweek concludes at the London Stadium where West Ham are treated to their first home game of the campaign against Huddersfield Town.

At the start of the season, this appeared to be a fixture which would have seen us back the Hammers’ assets for returns. Three games in and the outlook is very different.

The Terriers turn up undefeated and with no goals conceded. That form has seen the likes of goalkeeper Jonas Lossl and defender Zanka pick up 8.4% and 10.4% ownership respectively. Meanwhile, playmaker Aaron Mooy is backed by 12.9% having produced a goal and an assist to this point.

But West Ham have the best-supported player on show tonight.

Chicharito is part of 1.4 million squads and is backed by 159,000+ (3.3%) with the captaincy.

Significantly, he’ll be supported by Andy Carroll in the West Ham attack, in what appears to be a 3-5-2 set-up deployed by the under pressure Slaven Bilic.

Joe Hart is the next best owned West Ham asset in action, although 71% of his 500,000 owners have chosen to bench him ahead of tonight’s clash.

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

    Tempted by the old WC

    Came to this

    Foster
    Alonso / Jones / Kola / Bavies
    Erik / Mkhit / 3rd mid
    Morata / Kane / Firmino

    Now, that all looks smashing, right? Just gota add the 3rd mid to play whoever has the best fixture... The rest of the team is GroB, Mooy and Carroll. Still not THAT bad for the players it gives.

    Seems like the best compromise considering the mid price mids are grim but if gives you all of the best wingbacks and a nice Utd defence option

    Hi guys, I've written an article on the major talking points from this Gameweek's action in the FPL world. This part covers the Man City conundrum, Arsenal throwing up lucrative options, whether Kane can be avoided now or not and what to do with Southampton defenders. Do give it a read.

    69 pts, total 211. First green arrow! Playing 1st time and finally after a mont or so starting to get a feeling my plans and moves are making sense hehe. Most importantly, I've avoided all but Chicarito bandwagons (had JRod so that was pretty easy decision) and only hit I've took was to move Walker for Alonso.

    It's really not that hard of a game. I've played fantasy hockey for example so transition is somewhat easy. Didn't follow Premier League this closely for couple of years so did couple stupid mistakes with starting roster. Happens. Gather best information available (this forum, thx guys). Plan ahead and don't do anything impulsive.

    Tl;dr - Try to enjoy it, it's just a game after all.

    Falling stars.

    Every year around this time it's worth remembering just how good some of the players are we have ditched and have fallen in price. As always around GW4 a lot of players have become too mindful of price rises and TV...and worrying about 0.1 risers (a lot).

    So as I have done for the past few years I'll spend a few weeks putting out squads made up entirely(?) of players who have fallen in value and are collectively priced at, or less than, the 100mill original budget....and just as good as some of our WC's for last weeks hot properties. The anti knee jerk squad for this week...

    No keepers to offer yet so a little caveat on those...

    Elliot (4.0) Fabianski (4.5)
    Cahill (6.3) Bellerin (5.9) Lovren (5.4)...(Wimmer 4.4 Tuanzebe 3.9)
    Siggy (8.4) KDB (9.9) Coutinho (8.8) Gross (5.4)...(King (4.4)
    Kane (12.4 c) Carroll (5.9) Lacazette (10.4)

    Squad value bang on 100 mill and saving 1.5 mill on original values.

    Many other noticeable fallers to play around with including Sanchez, Jesus, Ritchie, Shaqiri, Knockaert and co...but already showing signs of a squad much more affordable than we could have started with. Keep watching the fallers.

        Happens every year. During the first few weeks the likes of KDB and Kane failing or Sanchez rested should be viewed as a good thing...not a bad thing. We just need to sweep those sorts of players up when they have fallen. That's how to improve our squads.

        Andy Carroll will limp off within a few weeks but then look to somebody else who falls through injury or suspension. It happens all the time. Watch the fallers as well as the risers and you'll be amazes how good your squad is in a few weeks.

        Also... The main point is that we don't need to rush transfers very often. Some of the best picks are sat there with no pressure for 0.1's. Do it collectively as a strategy for fallers and a good squad can fall into your lap. Some of the best bargains happen around GW6-8 usually.

The point is that it doesn't need to be Siggy or Coutinho....it's just an exercise in showing there are always plenty of ways of bolstering our squads by looking at the red arrows on FFFix as well as those who are rising.

        Agreed, but for who and how? Long term I want Kane or Jesus, or both.

        What would your plan be?

      Short term a little hasty so yes, long term no, Aurier will likely come in to the side
