The best West Ham FPL options for their favourable fixtures

1,111 Comments
Share

West Ham United’s nine goals in their last three matches have set them up as the latest Fantasy Premier League flavour of the month.

However, the recent injury to Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m) has changed the thought process for capitalising on the Hammers’ form and fixtures.

Felipe Anderson (£7.3m) seems to have been the go-to replacement but his midfield position means that he is not a direct alternative to Arnautovic.

So we’ve analysed the options at West Ham to see which offers the best potential in the coming weeks and which are the most affordable.

      They have an attacking manager in Pellegrini, and they have scored 3 goals a match the last couple of matches. Their fixtures are brilliant. While I can see the reason why People are skeptical of doubling up on a midtableteam, I think it's warranted.

      I've been doubled up With Arnie and Anderson for a while, and now I am seriously considering Snodgrass.

        Say what Balint? They're in 11th place, that is the definition of a mid-table team, if i'm not mistaken. Sure they started the season very poorly, but they are pretty much where they belong now.

      That’s why I’m not ditching cause it costs 2 or 3 transfers to redistribute the Extra money you get from ditching him and I know I’ll want him back in 5 or 6 weeks as well which would cost a load of points.

        Yes, I think one of the reasons he plays is because its Carling cup midweek and even though its a tough team, no way it will be prioritized over the league, given its a big fight for top four. Plus Kane loves to win golden boot. So I don't think he will accept not starting against Burnley after getting rested against Leicester.

      The one guarantee is that Kane will start - by Saturday he will have started only 1 game in he previous 11 days.

      So whilst the Leicester benching May have been a pain for owners (and a disaster for cappers) it will start to pay off now

    Morning dzz, couple of quick questions:

    #1) Best GK combo on a WC? the default around here seems to be Fabianski and Steele but whm lots of away games coming up and havnt been sound. worth trying to find a rotating pair and just opt for balbuena instead? or also Fab/XXX + Balbuena. balbuena one of few defenders to have good fixtures throughout the festive period so a great option for the bench to come on in any game

    #2) Best option on a WC?
    A) Son + Jimenez or
    B) Bilva + Rich

    #3)
    X) Alonso + Bilva + Rich
    Y) Digne + Son + Bilva (who will become Rich in a few weeks)

    If TAA is out for a few weeks who's the best replacement? I can spend £6.1m max.

    My current back line is:

    Robertson, Alonso, Laporte, TAA, AWB

    I thinking VvD or a Spurs defender. Ideally Trippier will be available

      VVD, Trippier(if fit), Kola, Digne all look good

      Doubt we’ll be lucky enough to get definitive news though
