After a lumbering start to the campaign which saw West Ham mired in the relegation zone after 11 Gameweeks, it appeared only to take a change in defensive personnel and an unlikely Scottish saviour to salvage the club from the brink of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) irrelevance.

Over the last three Gameweeks, the Hammers have now taken an unlikely seven points from a trio of match-ups against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Stoke City. More impressively still, their rearguard has remained impenetrable over this span – racking up three successive clean sheets.

Can David Moyes’ men continue this impressive run of form; or is their recent uptick in results merely a mirage?

This week’s Technical Area will be evaluating West Ham’s prospects for the second half of our campaigns, as we run the rule over their top FPL assets for the remainder of the season.

      Not enough discussion about Andy Carroll above, he is gonna dominate.

        I've been here for 7 years, this is hardly the first time I have done this. Used to be a regular before Aatish turned up in 2012...

      Your grav always reminds me of Monkian from Thundercats even though its clearly different

        Do you remember the episode were all the Thundercats were captured and it was down to Snarf to rescue them all, Sanchez?

          Have you heard the Alternative Thundercat versions? Quite amusing,

            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Goodfellas vs Thundercats is quality

          Haha. I actually think I have some vague memory of something like that.

          I always liked Mumm Ra. You wouldn't get a proper scary looking baddy in cartoons today.

    Pope (Elliott)
    Christensen Jones Kenny (Kiko* Duffy*)
    Salah Hazard Sterling Richarlison (RLC)
    Morata* Austin Kane

    0.7itb and 1ft

    Obviously it is looking pretty grim suspension/injury wise. Very tempted by major surgery. Any advice?

    A) Dullard option. Move Kiko to WH def.
    B) Bold option. Morata and RLC to KDB and DCL (-4).
    C) Both moves..
    D) Something else.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For christmas you need your bench to be working. Just throwing that out there.

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

        Indeed. Hence the desire to go major surgery and shift funds.

    2. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'm on -8 for three similar moves, morata RLC and mbemba out for ogbonna KDB and DCL.
      Next week kane to morata

  4. Erez Avni
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    play DCL or Mee?

    have Kane & Christensen...

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

      DCL

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dcl

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

    Thinking this team for this week. Means Pope to Adrián and Kane to Aguero. Week 20 for 2 weeks Aguero to Lukaku, Morata or Lacazette depending whether Aguero likely to be benched and then week 22 back to Kane. Good plan ot not?

    Adrián
    Otamendi Smalling Jones
    Hazard Salah (vc) Sterling Richarlison RLC
    Aguero (c) Firmino

    Elliot DCL Fernández Kenny

  6. KUNingas

    Best striker under 5?

    1. Big Sum
      • 15 Years

      Quaner probably

      1. KUNingas
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Is he nailed? Or should I stretch to get DCL?

        1. Big Sum
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          He is not nailed, but he will play a lot of minutes I think

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Crouch or Quaner

      1. KUNingas
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Will Quaner play regulary?

          Kachunga out helps. Don't expect much.

      2. T444
        • 10 Years

        Niasse.

    4. Sotamendi84

      Too start every game no one

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Peter Crouch

    6. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I've got Quaner. Should start on the left with Kachunga out. Mounie or Depoitre up top . Check the Team News tab.

      1. KUNingas
        • 9 Years

    This is my team currently on wild card, thoughts please chaps

    DDG Elliot
    P.Jones Otemendi Kenny klaven Ogbonna
    Sterling Hazard Salah Richarlison RLC
    Kane Firminho DCL

    What changes are needed?.

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

      Might go Chilwell over Klaven otherwise looks good

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane out KDB in. Probably Richarlison to go.

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Robertson for Klavan

    4. MUFASA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The value is in midfield atm. I would upgrade RLC at the expense of kane and with the extra you could also upgrade elsewhere

  8. Mika-eel
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Evening guys.

    You think Gray in from Watford which would allow me to upgrade Young to Sane? Both for free.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      For whom?

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Sorry Ginkapo, Morata the fall guy.

    2. Sotamendi84
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sounda good

  9. Sotamendi84
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Play
    A) mee (TOT) or
    b) kenny(eve)
    And
    1) pope (TOT) or
    2) elliot (whu)?

    Foster Elliot
    Ogbonna Christensen Otamendi Mee Moreno
    Sterling Salah Eriksen RLC Carroll
    Kane Morata DCL

    Morata out (-4), play WC or just leave it?

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

      definitely don't need to WC. Who are you looking at as a Morata replacement?

  13. NLB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski
    Otamendi Kabasele Dunk
    Haz Salah Sterling Richarlison
    Kane Morata* DCL
    Subs: Elliot Carroll Simpson Ward*

    2FTs, 0.2 in the bank

    A. Ward to Ogbonna (save an FT) or
    B. Morata + Ward to Austin + Christensen/Jones

    B will also leave me enough for Carroll to Pogba next week for a 'Power 5.' Leaning that route at the moment.

    What do you all think?

  14. ZeBestee

    Who will start alongside Otamendi this weekend?

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      mangala

  16. Scotty B
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski
    Bellerin Otamendi Tarkowski
    Salah Ritchie KDB Sterling
    DCL Kane Firmino

    Elliot Carroll Ake Zeegalar

    Any of the below worth a -4 this week?
    A Ritchie > Arnoutavic
    B Ritchie > Zaha
    C Tarkowski > Vertonghen/Sanchez
    D Tarkowski > Cresswell

    1. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Out of those options I like zaha, but possibly lingard as an alternative for 5th

    2. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      E) tarkowski to masuako

  17. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would you take a hit for Ward -> Otamendi (he'll play over Kenny)

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    2. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Otamemdi is a good shout. Lots of hits being taken, tis the season. It's going to be a mental gameweek

    A lot of managers going Sterling(c).

    Sterling is the highest transferred in player this gw.

    Just saying. 😆

  21. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts on the following? So many options..... (2FT and 2.0 ITB)

    Pope, Myhill**
    Otamendi, Christensen, Mee, Naughton, Mbemba**
    Salah, Sane, Hazard, Richarlison, RLC
    Kane, Firmino, Niasse**

    A) Mbemba to Ogbonna. Save FT.
    B) As above - plus Richarlison to Pogba
    C) Richarlison to Sterling. Save FT.

    Have exact cash for B and C. Would need to do C tonight

    Thanks.

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      C

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Thanks - C is really tempting, but leaves me very little to sort out both Mbemba and Niasse....

  23. Monkey Hanger

    Will there be more FFS'ers taking multiple hits, or more of those not in the know, who miss tomorrows deadline?

    1. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      On FFS more hits, in general waaay more forgotten deadlines

      any thoughts appreciated lads... Think i need a City Mid as captain even though losing Richarllison would be painful!

    Hi guys! Any advice?

    Pope
    Otamendi-Christensen-Masuaku-Naughton
    Hazard-Salah-Sterling-Richarlison
    Kane-DCL

    Elliot-Morata*-RLC-Mee

    1FT, 0.1 ITB

    A) Morata -> 10.6 or less atk?
    B) Morata+RLC -> Gray/Austin+Pogba (-4), bank 0.9M
    C) Save
    D) Other (Then what?)

    1. T444
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Roll the transfer. Nice team

  26. Kanteisking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Morata to Aguero -4 or keep a morata for next week and play Ogbonna meaning teams this week is

    Fab
    Ota, Jones, Christensen, Ogbonna
    Salah, Sterling. Hazard, KDB (c), Richarlison
    Rooney

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

      I'd be playing ogbonna anyway tbh

    2. Kanteisking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry realized can’t have morata as too many city player. Well morata to someone else -4 or play that wan?

      1. Kanteisking
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Fail! I meant can’t have aguero

  27. Legohair
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is Morata&Groß to Rooney&Sterling stupid move for a hit?

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      may be morata and groß to austin and de bruyne

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Is De Bruine worth that extra cash if you compared to Sane/Sterling?

        1. Totti
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          if you can afford him, i think yes

      2. Big Sum
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Getting Rooney this week for a hit doesn't sound like a very good move. Austin and KDB looks better

        1. Legohair
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I could probably bring Hazard too,but i guess City players this week are essential.i do have Sane already...

    2. Weasel51
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Austin instead of Rooney

    3. Kanteisking
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I have a dilemma of moving out Morata for a hit. Gut says keep

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I really dont know what to do with him.after this GW,fixtures are really good.

  28. Cruz88
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Play one:

    a) Richarlison vs Brighton (Away)
    b) Christensen vs Everton (Away)

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Weasel51
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A without doubt

  29. Sickboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is this TOO much midfield?

    Salah / KDB / Hazard / Sterling / Pogba

    Firmino / Austin / DCL

    Thanks.

    1. Weasel51
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not at the minute, looks great. I'd look for a way to get Kane in for the DGW though.

    2. Lucky Z
      • 8 Years

    Gomes
    Alonso Ogbonna Naughton
    Hazard Gross RLC Coutinho KDB
