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.

    Pull the trigger on these transfers?

    Son, Morata and Carroll > Sterling, Austin, Pogba (-4)

    Rest of team:

    Pope
    Christensen, Otamendi, Dann
    Hazard, Son*, Richarlison, Salah, Carroll*
    Kane, DCL

    Elliot, Morata*, Mee, Chilwell

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, looks good to me

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good yas

    3. Kaffi og Lukaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I might keep Son until double gameweek, considering bringing him in. Sterling this round for sure, maybe Pogba next. I like all three proposed transfers, but it might not be worth a hit. And having extra FT over the next gameweeks might prove nice. My plan at least.

      Looks good, 3 x double ups in attack is interesting.

    2. Kaffi og Lukaku
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Elliot > Adrian maybe?

  3. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Start of the season; ‘all I want is wingbacks and attacking defenders’

    Now: Jones Christensen and Ogbonna

    Wow.

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

      Masuaku for the Mavericks to continue the trend

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Is there not the concern he only plays one of the DGW games though? Cresswell could easily shift over

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

          Yeh I never said I was one, I’m going for the baps magnet and a bit more guaranteed starts

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      New themes every few weeks it seems

    3. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ogbonna Christensen Jones aaaand Smalling here 🙂

  4. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Start one and who to Captain?

    DCL Sterling
    Surman Kane
    Depoirte

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

      Surman all day
      20pts incoming

      1. Dohers
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This.

  5. MannionUK
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fab
    Alonso, Jones, Otamendi, Dunk
    Salah, Sterling, Loftas Cheek, Hazard
    Kane, Firmino

    Migs, Caroll, Kenny, DCL

    Hazard to KDB for -4?

  6. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard + Richo -> Sterling + any mid outside Pool (-4)?

    1. DR0GBA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      big regret if Hazard hauls, like City midfielders though

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        No Morata seriously minimises the chance of a Hazard haul

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

          Garbage. Hazard has had plenty of hauls over the years when morata wasn’t around.

    2. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why lose Richarlison for a hit? Not for me personally

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Need to lose Firmino/Kane otherwise.

        1. Garfield1001
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Why not just Hazard to Sterling?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Richo > any other mid (-4) not worthwhile?

            1. Garfield1001
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              KDB possibly I guess

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

      Kdb then yes

    4. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling is great but hazard will be in vogue so soon.

      Yes the stats have taken a bit of a tumble but he’s one penalty away from 3bonus at any point

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

      KDB over sterling. Hazard not worth his price imo

    6. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I've been talking of selling Rich all week and now probably play one more time but convinced of another blank. Really keen on Gundogan and think he's more nailed than people think. Stats last 2 all comps are nuts

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

      Sterling and KDB. Pogba is an option but probably not worth a -4 this week.

    8. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Wasn't he dropped for having a bust up with Conte over his tactics which Conte/Chelsea said "never happened"

      Luiz didn't get in the team when he wasn't injured. Wind your lol neck in

  9. Garfield1001

    Current squad with 1 FT and £0.2m ITB:

    Pope Elliott
    Alonso Mee Otamendi Ogbonna Daniels
    Hazard RLC Richarlison Salah Coutinho
    Firmino Kane Niasse

    How the hell do I get Sterling in? Don’t want to lose Hazard or Coutinho.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Need a big downgrade.

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I don’t want to though 🙁

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

          Don't then

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Forget Sterling or sell a mid. Have the same front 8 and there are many ways to get Sterling in.

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

      Firmino out

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      sell Kane

    4. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane out. I think I will do it.

    5. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kane C

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Firm or Kane and RLC out,
      Cheap to moderate priced striker and Sterling in?

      Morata>Rondon for me

        Got him in both draft teams this week and still benched him. Might have another look.

      1. Yozzer

        Yes. The most worthless fpl asset

        Bentekke or Rondon

    4. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Had him for his hat-trick last season.

      Wasn't Rodriquez showing some early promise under Pardew?

      I also wonder if Pardew could get Chadli firing again.

      1. George Sillett

        There's only one Rondon . J Rod is just a poor version .

  12. Gazza2000

    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this lot ?

    Pope - Elliot
    Otamendi - Kolasinac - Dunk
    Hazard - Salah - Sterling - Richarlison
    Kane - Firmino - DCL

    Elliot - RLC - Mee - Kiko

    2 FT 2.1 ITB

    a) Kolasinac -> Alonso
    b) Kolasinac, RLC -> Ogbonna, Silva/Pogba
    c) Kane, RLC, Kiko -> Austin, KDB, Alonso -4
    d) anything else ?

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

      B with Pog. Then bench DCL

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

    Best move after this gw?

    A) Pope to Courtois (other keeper is Krul)
    B) Cameron to Christensen
    C) Kenny to Christensen

    Team:

    Pope Krul
    Jones Mustafi Gomez Kenny Cameron
    Hazard Salah Coutinho Sterling RLC
    Lukaku Morata Quaner

    1.4 itb

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

      Thinking of doing B or C and bring in lloris for the DGW alongside Kane and another spursmidfielder for a trio dgw (-4).

  14. RVP20
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Do Coutinho > Sterling tonight before the price rise?

    I currently have no City cover.

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

      No other options?

      Coutinho is insane in the membrane at the moment

      1. RVP20
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        My team is:
        Pope
        Christensen - Dann - Mee - Kenny
        Hazard - Salah - Coutinho - Richarlison - RLC
        Kane
        0.6itb - 2FT
        (Elliot - Niasse - *Duffy* - *Morata*)

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

          Rather do Morata + Rich to Firmino + Sterling I think.. also covers you for this week mate. Or Take out Kane instead and get him back in place of Morata for the DGW

      2. George Sillett
        • 10 Years

    IF Silva is back and I have Sterling and Hazard, who would you choose?

    A) Silva and Alonso
    B) KDB and 5 mil defender

    Not much chat regarding Kane needing 4 goals in next 2 to beat Alan Shearers record for goals in a calendar year!

    Extra incentive for him , reason he’s my captain (C)

      Rooney will regress. A lot.

    Am i right to be concerned about my attack going into this gameweek or does my midfield make up for it enough for me not to worry about it?

    1.7m ITB 0FT

    Gomes
    Otamendi, Mee, Masuaku
    Salah, Sterling(c) Coutinho, Hazard, Zaha
    Lacazette, Rooney

    Fabianski, okazaki, Gomez, Zeegelaar

    Anything for a hit? Or hold?

      It makes a change to the usual forward line ups. Good to go imo

      Needless to say I'm banking on another arsenal v Liverpool game full of goals 🙂

    So if i make two transfers this week, i lose points for the general league but because my private league only starts tomorrow i don't start with negatives points or lose them in the end of the week right?

      League starting this GW = no hits count.

    I'm not buying the twatter story that Silva is back in training. Are Man City so insensitive to to the many fans who are very worried that they wouldn't make an official update?

    Speroni Pickford
    Duffy Ogbonna Alonso Kiko Mee

    What is everyone’s plan for the first DGW of the season? TC? Free Hit? Or just ride it out with a few hits?

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

      Kane Eriksen Ogbonna, possibly Kane TC if Spurs look better in next few.

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      One hit at most. West Ham tightening up rules out Kane TC for me and there will be a better GW for FH.
