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.

        Any way to see when it was removed? Instantly after the last PL game?

    Is there any truth to the rumour that Richarlison will miss games to attend his grandfathers funeral?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Doing the rounds this one. Evidently the tweet was from Richarlison himself.

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

        Prodl was bigging Rich up on Sky Sports yesterday & no mention of him possibly missing out. Not to say the rumour isn’t true though.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Did he delete the tweet?

        1. Monkey Hanger
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Don't know. It was something I read on here.

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

      No idea. Only heard the rumour on here, nowhere else.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Very likely based on posts here

  6. JJJ

    Lacazette to Augero or Lukaku? both teams have a good set of fixtures, Lukaku more nailed but Aguero more explosive....... thoughts?

    thanks

    1. sentz05
      • 9 Years

      Lukaku

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

    Lacking a captaincy option...

    Pope (Speroni)
    Otamendi, Christensen, Jones (Dunk, Fernandez)
    Hazard, Salah, Sané, Richarlison, RLC
    Kane, Firmino (Abraham)

    1 FT, 0.2m ITB

    A: Kane > Aguero (c)
    B: Sane > Sterling
    C: RLC + Kane > Sterling + Rooney (-4)
    D: Save FT

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      B

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

      Why not captain Sané?

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

        Yes why not?

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          5 blanks before last week. Not sold he's back yet.

    3. Old Wulfrunian

      D.Abraham over Rlc?

        Yeap this is a consideration! Thanks.

    A) Kane Richarlison ➡ Lukaku Sterling -4

  9. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    If I have Sterling and no chelsea which do you prefer?
    A. KDB
    B. Hazard

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

      Long term Hazard. This week KDB.

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        If on WC?

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

          I'd probably try and get both in that case - but I really have moved all funds out of the forwards.

          1. Feed tha Sheep
            • 13 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Current team on WC is KDB Sterling Salah Pogba RLC
            Kane Firmino DCL

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

              Looks good.

                • 13 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                So KDB ahead of hazard?

    lowton tarkowski christesnen (simpson francis)
    salah coutinho hazard richarlison mahrez
    kane murray (niasse)

    2 ft, going to play the WC next GW
    a)tarko mahrez to sterling masuaku
    b) same as a) with a hit (fracnis to 5.1 defender)
    c) play WC this GW

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

      If you're playing WC next week I would bring in Sterling and Kun for Mahrez and Kane this week.

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

    Am I mad to consider Sane ahead of Sterling as a transfer in this week? Just feel with the amount on Sterling above me in mini leagues and overall need to take a bit of a different route. Already have Silva - who I'm keeping unless Pep says he's out for an extended spell tomorrow. Will have to suffer the 0.1m rise on Raheem tonight.

  12. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What is more important?

    A) Losing 0.2 on a Sterling rise and a Ward drop.

    B) The information from Friday's press conferences.

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

      Hey Virg. I'm waiting on the press conferences before bringing in Aguero, but if there was a price rise/drop involved I'd probably take the risk now that the cup games are over.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks for the advice matey.

    2. Pirlø's Pen

    3. Virgil Hilts

      A definitely

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

      B of course.

  13. jamie1972

    C Sane or Sterling, toss a coin?

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

    Ok it’s happening. Bye Kane. Hello gray.
    How awful is that.

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

      I think Gray is a great pick while Deeney is suspended.

      1. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        nice

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

        Won’t be able to watch the Spurs game though.

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

        I am thinking the same but i just saw the stats from the 0-0 of the first round.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nice move. Clever.

    3. Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Like 11 points I would say...

  15. Strchld
    • 9 Years

    G2g? If Silva is out, will get Sane in tomorrow.

    Pope
    Alonso - Otamendi - Gomez
    Haz - Sterling - Silva - Richa - RLC
    Kane - Firmino

    A) Naughton & Mee
    B) Holgate & Jones

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

      One will be on the bench more often than not

      b fixtures

      1. OldBenKenobi

        Planning this for hit start of next GW. Not many 4.2 options for the bench 🙁

  18. Super Silva
    • 12 Years

    Guy what's the chances of Long (Bur) and Hunhiemer playing ?

    1. OldBenKenobi

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Long should I’m not sure on Hum tho

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

      Long should play the next 3. Hun will maybe play this one (or it will be Goldson).

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years

      Tough one mate - having no city coverage can hurt you but dont like the idea of losing Richarlison.

      1. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        yeah thats my thinking Richarlison has been exceptional all season..

  23. Hurricane Gilbert

    Thoughts on doing Niasse to Quaner with my FT? If I don't, I will be priced out of RLC to Dilva (if fit).

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      do it

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

      Personally wouldn’t

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

      Go for it.

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

      Yes do it.

      The money is going to come in handy whatever. You’ll be annoyed if Quaner goes up tonight, although he’s been on the brink for days and not gone up

  24. Trovsmash
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Draft.
    Shaw and Pedro to Zanka & Mooy?

  25. scottmac
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Would Sane get a one match ban if he got a yellow card against Palace on 31st December or not?

    In other words, has he got a 2 match or 3 match stay of execution?

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

      If I'm not mistaken it's after this game (gw19) that it "reset" and 10 yellow cards is required as we are already half way into the season. Usually gw19 is at new year so it reset at new year. Might be the same now though. So all this rambling might be really pointless

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

        Thanks for the info

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

      He’ll only get a ban if gets a yellow on Saturday

      1. scottmac
        • 9 Years

        Thanks again

  26. maditass
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I'm struggling with my cap choice. I'm really tempted to cap Salah or coutinho against arsenal, but was gonna check cap poll to see who others are going for before deciding. Last week I capped mahrez and don't want to get screwed again.......

  27. SuperMario
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gents.

    If you only had Otamendi from MCY, you realistically NEED to get in an attacker to captain this week, don't you??

    2.1 banked.. Fabianski (Elliot)
    Alonso - Otamendi - Kabasele - Wimmer (Mee)
    Hazard - Salah - Coutinho - Richarlison (RLC)
    Abrahham - Kane (DCL)

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd say so

      1. SuperMario
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Thoughts of Losing Richarlison isn't ideal tho

  28. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A)Morata to Lukaku or Aguero for a hit
    B)Play Choupo or Kenny and pray?
    A is tempting but then Morata has 2 excellent fixtures to follow after a good rest!

  29. Aubaaaaa
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Will morata’s price be protected for a week after this week’s deadline? I assume his red flag will be removed?
