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.

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

      I'd go A or B depending on who you think'll score more out of Sterling & Aguero.

  3. RVP20

    My team is:
    Pope
    Christensen - Dann - Mee - Kenny
    Hazard - Salah - Coutinho - Richarlison - RLC
    Kane
    0itb - 2FT
    (Elliot - Niasse - *Duffy* - *Morata*)

    What should I do?
    (A) Coutinho & Morata > Sterling & Aguero(C)
    (B) Coutinho & Morata > Sterling & Lukaku
    (C) Mee & Coutinho > Jones & Sterling

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

      C

  4. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Right, finally shifted my team to a 3-5-2. any hits required? have 3.8m itb

    Pope
    Alonso Jones Gomez --- Kiko Duffy
    Salah Richarlison Sterling Gross Fabregas
    Kane Firmino --- Quaner

    A: Kiko >> Ogbona (-4)...dont expect liverpool to keep a cs, need a whm def anyways so hit pays off in long run. Plus can expect rotation in gw20 so need to remove injured players

    B: Fabregas >> Sane (-4)..and next gw Gross >> Pogba....the moves will complete my midfield. main concern is lack of chelsea in gw20/21 and fabregas looked really sharp in the last game after he came on as sub

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

      B if any

  5. Daniel Exeter

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

    Hi guys...Suggestions please..

    DDG
    Alonso / Ota / Jones / Masuaku
    Sterling (c) / Salah (vc) / Hazard / Richarlison / RLC
    Firmino

    Subs: DCL / Kiko / Morata

    Already used FT on Kola to Masuaku
    2.4 ITB

    A) Good to go
    B) Morata to Kaku (-4) and bench RLC
    C) Any other suggestions?

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A

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

    regardless the price
    if i have to choose between de bruyne and sterling, who do u rather guys?

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

      Either would be a great choice. Difficult one.

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

        Ideally both!

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

          so if you've to choose between hazard and de bruyne
          who do u rather to be fixed in your team?

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

            I took out Hazard for KDB yesterday. Think that he is more consistent.

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

      sterling for fpl...
      in a real team KDB!!

  11. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Does anyone actually think Morata at his price is better value than KDB, Sterling, Coutinho or Hazard?

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      not currently

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Seeing a lot of teams benching him, had him for a while and has been quite disappointing. Or maybe just trying to justify my decision to oust him for KDB 🙂

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no which is why I swapped him for sterling. still think he will do well but i’m thinking sterling plus the extra 2mil spread elsewhere will do better

    3. XabiAlonso
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nope hoping the conservative benchers lose out

    4. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      not really..

  12. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    just seen on fpl statistics that 2% of the game own kurt zouma at 5.5mil. bonkers

    1. L S P
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      tbf, that 2% still think he might start for chelsea...

  13. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gtg with this lot?

    Pope
    Jones Christensen Ogbonna
    Salah Sterling(c) Hazard Pogba Richarlison
    Kane Firmino

    Joel Mee DCL Kenny

    1. Totti
      • 9 Years

    F**k me. I have just seen a stream of gravless. Wtf is going on?

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's called inclusivity and embracing the needy.

  15. Bleach †

    Hello 🙂
    Change anything for a hit?

    Fab
    Alonso • Ota • Jones
    Haz • Salah • Sterling(c) • Groß • RLC
    Morata • Firm

    Elliott • DCL • Mariappa • Mbemba

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

      Well Morata is obviously suspended

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ffs, that's Kane, don't know why I wrote Morata..

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I want to know
    Why everyone I know
    Has gone hit city
    You say it ain't true
    What can I do, now
    I'm going hit city

    -12 anyone?

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

      Yeah, foolishly.

    2. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Being a differential, I am running against the pack

      Not going in with any City players GW19...

      Just hoping a random event (i.e. Man U losing to Bristol) could magically happen here...

      Extremely extremely unlikely but I don't mind if I hedge with a small money bet...

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

        I.e. no hits

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nah im good with a. -4 so far

  17. Big P
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Surely Depoitre is a better cheap striker than DLC given the fixtures?

    1. Virgil Hilts
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably not as nailed though, given Mounie at Huddersfield will play some games, and all Everton’s strikers being rubbish giving DCL his place to cement/lose.

      Could be bench fodder if they buy a striker in January though.

  18. Bluth Banana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Smalling or Jones?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Smalling for me

    2. Costa in Wengerland
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Smalling for me too

  19. HD7
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Managers,

    Next steps for this team?

    De Gea
    Ota Kabasele Ogbona
    RLC Sterling Richarlison Salah Hazard
    Kane Morata

    Subs: Elliot, DCL, Daniels, Mbemba

    0.4 ITB

    Morata to Crouch this week

    and for next week Richarlison RLC to Coutinho Pogba seems like an idea?

    Yes or maybe another suggestion will be highly regarded 🙂

  20. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Who is the best captain option out of...

    A...sterling v bou

    B...kane at depleted Burnley

    Thanks

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

      A for me.

    2. Virgil Hilts
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A for me

  21. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    DDG
    Otamendi, Christensen, Kenny
    Sterling, Hazard, Salah, KDB (c)
    Kane, DCL, Austin

    (Elliot, RLC, Mariappa, Mee)

    Any changes needed? 0FT 0.5 ITB

    Cheers

  22. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    thoughts on richarlison and daniels to sterling and a 4.2 def ? maybe long at 4 with tark out - would be a sub other options are pied, dummet, wimmer or kelly

    1. Virgil Hilts
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes but might as well get Long at Burnley for 4.0 as it looks like he’s in for 3 games minimum

  23. Jake Donahue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    It will be interesting to see if the number of points hits spike this week on the back of Jays -12.

    I must admit I hit the wildcard button during the scoutcast

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

      Nah the average hit will be very low like always

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It will definitely

  24. MrMajeika
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    how nailed is sterling for a start this weekend. Seems to be a popular captain choice

    1. Jake Donahue
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Should be, he wasn't even in the squad mid week when others played 120 minutes

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

      Pretty nailed

    3. Virgil Hilts
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I’d say him and lots of City players are as nailed as they’ll be all season for Saturday given midweek team and minutes played.

      Next game in a few days will be a lottery again though

  25. Kjoreilly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Doesnt look like scoring more than once a game. Stats are tereible for his price

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Only scoring once a game is truly shite.
