The Technical Area – West Ham Under Analysis

21 December 2017 2094 comments

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.

    Haz, Salah, Sterling, Groß, RLC
    Kane, Vardy, DCL

    1ft, 1.9m itb

    A) Hazard -> KDB (gives enough for Groß -> Pogba next week)
    B) Vardy -> Firmino (0.1 short of Groß -> Pogba)
    C) Save

    So is the thinking is Ogbona playing CB is less likely to get rotated for the DGW given the short time between games compared to Masuako playing Wingback?

      Both equally nailed as each other

      Cresswell's been playing left CB so possibly might get a rest at some point with Collins back

      However, Masuaku might get the rest, with Cresswell LWB (Collins in the back)

      Both about 90% nailed though
