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.

    Patricio
    TAA, Doherty, Digne
    Salah, Sterling, Hazard, Anderson, Richarlison
    Kane, Jimenez

    Subs: Hamer, AWB, Peltier, Kamara

    Out goes Auba. Sane, Robertson, Alonso

      Problem is that the players you are transferring out are equally capable for hauls. So nobody can say these are good moves or not

        I think he's in the driving seat to start alongside Bernardo, but whoever comes back first (KDB or David Silva) will most likely oust him from the 11. Could be a nice short term punt though, he usually does well when he starts as one of the 8's.

      Draft league ponderings with Dilva out.

      I either play Chilwell or Paterson, or bring in a waiver for Paterson for some short term action (as Paterson’s fixtures worsen and I’m thinking he’s dropping back after the transfer window) - I’m tempted by Kante, Doucoure is another potential - if I don’t pick up those two I’ll probably stick. Any thoughts?

        (Not saying you should do that, I'm no wiser - see below - but there's a reason you got Laca, other than shandy)

        I took a punt on him but more as a 3-5-2 wish I played him instead of Kenedy last week. Rafa and his 89min sub cost me some points. Good fixtures in next four but if finances was no issue then Mitro is better and if Mitro met suspension then get a new option

      What do Laca owners see as their escape route if it all turns to dogmuck ?

      I could get Aubu in but it'd cost me a hit elsewhere (probs Sane > Richiarlson) ......or brave it and go without

      Don't like the last one though as it removes the Spurs / Arsen rotating (C)

        I sold him last night for Kane.Arsenal's fixtures are good but i think he is not a sure starter.In a 0-0 game and Emery subbed him off in half time.But if i could have Laca and Kane i would hold him for one more game.

      Appreciate your advice, seem to have a few issues brewing. Think if Wilson is fit I might move Sigurdsson on for a two week punt and revert back to Richarlison. Sound plan? 1ft 0itb

      Any suggestions?

        Keep siggy.
        He is just unlucky not to score some recently.
        His stats are way better then richa.

      Thinking of shipping out Martial for him.
