Gameweek 13 gets underway at the London Stadium as West Ham entertain Leicester in David Moyes’ first home match in charge.

The Hammers’ recent home form underlines the work at hand for their new manager – over the last two in front of their own supporters, they’ve scored one goal and conceded seven.

With that in mind, it’s little wonder that – outwith the injured Chicharito (9%) – every West Ham outfield player sits in less than 2% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) squads.

We’ll be keeping an eye on our Spot the Differential candidate Manuel Lanzini, who scored in the corresponding fixture last season and also netted in the Hammers’ previous home match, against Liverpool in Gameweek 11.

While the hosts fell to defeat at Watford in Moyes’ first match in charge, their visitors have found decent form under new manager Claude Puel.

Aside from last week’s 2-0 loss to league leaders Man City, the Foxes picked up four points in the Frenchman’s first two in charge, scoring twice on both occasions.

Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy found the net in the 3-2 win away to the Hammers last term and both remain the men most likely to punish Moyes’ side.

Sitting in 4% of squads, Mahrez is certainly the form option tonight – he’d bagged two goals and three assists in four prior to last week’s clash with City.

Vardy has frustrated his 13% backers with a single goal in six, yet with the fixtures turning in Leicester’s favour once their midweek clash with Spurs passes, he could yet re-emerge as a third forward option over the festive spell.

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

  12. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 25 days ago

    Surprised West Ham and Everton didn't make a move for Quique Flores, decent manager, understands the premiership and would have been financially backed by both those clubs which he wasn't at Watford.

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 25 days ago

      Seemed a decent manager, where's he at now

      1. Digital-Real
