After just four goals in the afternoon matches, we could feasibly beat that in the final kick-off as West Ham host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Having won this game 4-0 last season, the Reds will be heavily fancied to run out victors again, particularly after the revelation that Sadio Mane is fit to return to their starting XI.

The Senegalese gets the nod, with Daniel Sturridge dropping out of Liverpool’s front three to make way. Elsewhere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain earns a first Premier League start in midfield.

However, it’s fair to say that the main focus will be on Mohamed Salah who goes into this contest with five goals from his ten Gameweeks, backed by almost two million owners and with 250,000+ trusting him with the captaincy.

West Ham’s Fantasy assets have long been in decline. Chicharito remains by far their most popular asset, figuring in 13.1% of squads, though he has lost 384,000 owners in the last four Gameweeks.

With injuries and suspensions at the back, it’s expected that they will struggle to repel Jurgen Klopp’s charges.

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

    Do we think Surman will rise tonight?

    1. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Surman is a great call- wanted him on WC, went Cork
      Cracking 5th mid, 4th with fixtures for a run/ over Xmas..
      Good luck!

  3. Fletcher Moss

    Any advice?

    Foster • Elliot
    Davies • Jones • Ward • Dunk • Löwe
    Salah • Sterling • Rich • Groß • Carroll
    Kane • Morata • Vardy

    2FT.

    Finding it hard to resist doing Foster(CHE) to Pope(SWA) tonight as Elliot(mun) also has a tough game. Would be a double up as I already have Ward.

    But then I’m wary I may need to do something about Davies if he’s benched again, as well as anything else that may happen in the internationals. Not sure what to do about Vardy now either.

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Backline and midfield is fine. Davies can be benched. It depends whether you want Lukaku or not. If not go for the Keeper move.

      1. Fletcher Moss
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks folks. Think I’ll make the move and hope for the best over the internationals, whilst knowing that I’ve got another transfer to fall back on if need be.

      I did Hart to Pope tonight.

  4. Junior ⚽
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Planned to wildcard this team. Did Dawson to Vertonghen for a 1 week punt.

    DDG Elliot
    Vertonghen Monreal Mee Otamendi Long
    Salah CM Sterling RLC Carroll
    Vardy Kane Aguero

        Don't WC?

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          A hit could sort it out if you ask me.

          1. Junior ⚽
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Can't see when else I'm going to use it. Need to sort out my bench for the Christmas period. You could be right though.

    2. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      GK fine
      D too expensive- lose Monr or Ota
      M who's CM? could upgrade here - Choupo? Gross?
      F gtg

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        CM will be Choupo Moting...

        1. ted mcnure
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          So.. wait, gtg, no WC
          Wait n see with IB and fix an injury if need be,
          U have $ in def
          -4 for anything u need

      2. Junior ⚽
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Very tempted to wildcard. Defence needs a change along with Vardy RLC/Carroll.

  5. SpiritRising
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm fed up with out of form expensive strikers, there's only one striker I need. I'm going with a power midfield instead.

    Elliot pope
    Naughton Jones Dunk Moreno Mee

    Salah Eriksen Sane Mane Sterling

    Kane Abraham Calvert Lewin

    I'm feeling good about it with budget defenders more than holding their own this year and these midfielders near enough playing up front anyway.

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure I like it. Interested to see how it works out though.

      Alli over Eriksen for me.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It looks good for right now but with form, rotation, injuries and suspensions I'm not sure there will always be five quality midfield options and making the switch to another premium striker could prove difficult.

  6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Moyes 😆

  7. andy85wsm

    Which defenders priced at 5m or above who aren't Phil jones are people actually looking at bringing in?

    Seems to be so much value at the back in the 4.5-4.9m bracket.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      between 5-6m?

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’m doing Davies to Daniels I think

    3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No decent 5m I don’t think

    4. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs seem the only one. Maybe Ota/Stones due to their ceiling. Daniels Mee/Ward Dunk etc. such good value. Allows the likes of a DDG Jones double up.

    5. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno, Gomez, Duffy, Dunk, Mee, Daniels, Yedlin and Ward all interesting options.

    6. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Otamendi/ Luiz are the only ones worth considering, imo. The Spurs centre-backs are expensive and have no attacking threat. Arsenal's fixtures are poor.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed.

    7. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None. I have Otamendi but very likely dropping him for Daniels to fund Jesus -> Lukaku.

    8. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None of them. Like you said, there's too much value at 4.5-4.9.

      I will have Jones, Daniels, mee, kiko/Moreno

    9. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None!!

    10. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      None. Jones only, going cheap at the back to fund a huge strike force.

    11. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Maguire possibly.

  8. Jayv807
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Do I dare hold Cedric for one more day and pray he doesn’t drop in price? Or ship him now for Daniels? I have 2 FT

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Safer to do now.

    David Moyes? Are you kidding me???

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I know....

      I'd rather get behind Bilic.....

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So funny. Maybe Harry Redknapp next?

      No idea how these people keep getting jobs.

      Marco Silva should be the type that every club goes for now.

  10. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 8 Years

    Salah for golden boot this year with 38 goals

  11. Digital-Real

    Everton interested in Dyche, when Chris Hughton is a better option

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dyche > Hughton

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dyche is a good manager

  12. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Going with Morata, Lukaku, and Kane up front so not have to worry about rotation.

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra is back soon...

      1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

        That's one way to burst his bubble ! 😆

  13. dhamphiir
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If you are wildcarding which goalkeeper are you considering? Other goalkeeper is Elliot

    A. Pope
    B. Fabianski
    C. Gomes
    D. Lössl

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 8 Years

      just get DDG and be done with it, no rotation

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      DDG Elliot.

    4. Prøfeßör …
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A or Ryan.

  14. Scotty B
    • 13 Years

    Ritchie >>??

    1. Digital-Real
      • 8 Years

      Gross
      Surman
      Shaqiri
      Choupo
      Richarlison
      RLC

      take a pick

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years

      Sanchez

  15. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    West Ham have no identity that’s why they’re struggling. No style of play unlike a Burnley or Brighton. Will be a good team if they get themselves a decent manager as they have a good balance just underperforming.

    1. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yoloing 9 players forward on a corner in the 20th minute of a 0-0 game against an opponent with the pace of Salah and Mané on the counter is absolutely shocking. Honestly I think club sides should consider female managers. Somewhere in the world there is a woman who realizes that doing that is idiotic.

    2. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Their identity is to buy old players who want money. Hart Arnie etc. They're like the Blackburn and Villa the years they went down.

    3. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      They're just struggling because they're shit.

  16. IRBOX ⚽

    Mee’s 8 pointer staring at me from 1st sub. Chances of Davies or Sterling not making an appearance?

    1. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Davies likely won't after playing midweek.

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      both might not start

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wouldn’t want them coming on for 1 pointers though

        1. Norman Conquest
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          thought that last week when sterling came on he still got 7 points i think if davies don't start he will not come on but only pep knows about sterling personally i think pep will play a strong team arsenal are not palace

  17. Junior ⚽

    Anyone else here play Sky Fantasy Football? If you think FPL take their time at updating scores, you've seen nothing yet.

    1. Numb

      They're a disgrace. Last Monday it didn't update till Tuesday mid morning.

    Mané is so good. Surprised bigger teams haven't come in for him.

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 12 Years

      And to see Deulofeu play at Barcelona.... Unreal stuff, Mane and a bunch of other premier league players as well would be miles better...

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Deulofeu is pretty good imo

        1. Hakuho FPL

          lol

    2. IRBOX ⚽
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looked a bit rusty v West Ham, first touch a bit off. But yes he is brilliant.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Well he is and he isn't. He's fantastic going forward but his defensive work is a bit average. As FPL players we're only really interested in the first bit but real world managers have to consider both.

      Firmino is highly regarded by Klopp (and others) because he's the other way around....

  19. Rash
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Murray or Tammy?

  20. Feloh
    • 8 Years

    Simpson to Daniels before he drops, yay or nay?

    I'm not in the Inner Circle but it feels good knowing I'd be in the top 10.

    Remeber we all had so high hopes for Redmond. 2 assist, zero goals in 11 games. Got to be one on the biggest flops of the season fpl wise, so far.

    1. Dokdok666

    3. Fred54

      We have high hopes for Saints and particularly Redmond for the last two pre-seasons. Personally I think its a site in joke.

      Cover is a myth. Maybe defense wise you can “cover” but in attack, you either have the scorer/assist players or you don’t.

    2. Junior ⚽

      Cover... *Shivers*

  24. aleksios
    • 10 Years

    Which move would you do?

    a) Ritchie-Suttner-Jesus to Salah-Mee-Murray for -4.

    b) Ritchie-Alonso-Kola-Jesus to Salah-Mee-Moreno-Lukaku for -8.

    Thanks.

  27. Hurricane Gilbert

    Abraham or Murray going forward? On WC.

    Or drop them both for DLC and go 3-5-2?

    1. _figu

        Out of interest would the 3-5-2 include RLC too? I'm on a WC and considering my options. Cheers.

    Surman is such a better 4th / 5th mid option than Carroll or Loftus-Cheek. Surprised his name is not on here more, bit of a pack mentally I guess.

      How come? Better stats?

        Only stats they matter.

        Surman - 2 goals, 1 assist, 5 bouns
        Carroll - 0 goals, 1 assist, 2 bouns
        RLC - 0 goals, 1 assist, 0 bonus

      Didn't even consider him on my WC. But have to say, playing 1st time and haven't followed Premier League all that much in last 2-3 years. Just went with the RLC bandwagon 😛

      all i want from a 5th mid is to be cheap and get 2 pts........if they start doing really well, then your tempted to play them, and put someone more expensive on the bench, it all leads to tears in the end

      Was my 5th mid for most of last year.

      I'd have got him but I missed his price rise. RLC's 5pts last weeks mean RLC is currently the best option I could have got

      That week that Carroll hauled and everyone got him auto subbed in for Davies will live long in the memory.

      But yeah Surman is looking good.

      Yeah he's a good pick! Had him two years ago as my 5th mid I think... Although I think he's just been a bit lucky thus far... He was a very Carroll type for me, 2pts galore...

      RLC much better

      Carroll was the most reliable 4.5 option at the start of the season and once the season starts, how often can you spare a transfer to change your 5th mid?

      He is a good option though.

      Rlc better option imo

    I wrote about how one of the worst transfers this summer was the wacking amount Koeman paid for Pickford when plainly they needed to spend elsewhere....mainly because there was no need to prioritise that much money by Everton when they could get a really good keeper for a lot less....

    Pope is a great case in point at just how many good keepers are awaiting their chance of a manager knows where to look. He's as good as any keeper in the Prem.

      "Pope... as good as any keeper in the Prem."

      Time to log off and go to bed.

        ?...how could he be better?....I bet a few managers are looking at him and wondering how they've missed him....especially Klopp....

          LOL a few half decent games standing in for his superior does not make him as good as anyone in the league.

        I agree with Wakey tbh - Lloris perhaps stands apart but you could argue it.

          Oh aye...some good keepers about...I did say as good as anybody in the prem, not better.

          He's doing his own career prospects a world of good.

      Pickford to end up at a relegation club 2 seasons in a row. That would be ironic
