Attention turns to West Ham assets at Fulham

Attention now turns to West Ham’s devastating attacking players in Gameweek 17’s late Saturday kick-off.

All of the usual suspects have kept their starting places with Felipe Anderson (£7.3m), Robert Snodgrass (£5.3m) and Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.4m) in the line-up.

The Hammers should enjoy their afternoon at Craven Cottage as Fulham come into the encounter with the same back-four that was taken apart in Gameweek 16.

Joe Bryan (£4.8m) is at left-back with Denis Odoi (£4.4m) playing on the right again.

Calum Chambers retains his central midfield role while Ryan Sessegnon (£6.0m) is absent from the matchday entirely.

Aleksandr Mitrovic (£6.8m) is flanked in the front three by Andre Schürrle (£5.8m) and Aboubakar Kamara (£4.4m).

Fulham XI: Rico; Bryan, Mawson, Ream, Odoi; Cairney, Chambers, Seri; Schurrle, Mitrović, Kamara

West Ham XI: Fabianski; Masuaku, Diop, Balbuena, Zabaleta; Rice, Noble; Antonio, Anderson, Snodgrass; Chicharito.

    Think this a good discussion to have:

    Chicha or Snoddy for the 3rd Wham place in our teams?

    1. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Chica

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Neither

      1. AuFeld
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Why?

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Snoddy

    4. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Fab and Anderson will do for me. They will not play against Fulham every week

      1. HammersFan
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        What about the 3 weeks prior to fulham?

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          will it continue next 5 is the question nd what u have to predict

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Prefer Snodgrass at the moment. Less competition.

    6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      cant Get either of them in. Need a definitive injury to either Fraser or Wilson

      Have to settle for just Fanderson for now

    7. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wherever the weakest spot in your current team is if you want a 3rd west ham player

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Well... Its either Success to Chicha 4-3-3
        or Kenedy to Snoddy ans 4-4-2

        1. Ze_Austin
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Kenedy, then

        2. Carlton_Goal
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Can't go wrong with either of those tbh.

    8. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      err west ham do love to play counterattack.But missed out on the fulham fixture so not sure to get them now as fixtures congested

    9. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Don't even have 2 unless Diangana counts

  2. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Digne for the long term

    3. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years

      Digne

  3. Codetto

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

    3. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      another annoying thing not getting him.Could have made some cash too when the time to ditch him comes.Need to jump on these cheap assets with good fixtures in the future

  6. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Chances of TAA playing tomorrow?

    1. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

    4. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Great. Wan Biznizz first on bench

  7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Fanderson is too good -could be a top 6 player next year

    1. boc610
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Unless united buy him

      1. Bees4Lyf
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        He said top 6

        1. boc610
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          That went over your head didn't it?

          1. Bees4Lyf
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Oops

    2. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      no way, he doesn't walk into any of the current top 6 teams except United

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Might be a top 6 player this year if United keep playing like they are 😆

      1. HammersFan
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Was gonna post exactly this!

  9. eyezil
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Tom Cairney is impressive. With players like him, Robbo, Fraser, Armstrong, etc, future seems bright for Scotland.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Don't forget Doherty and Bavies. Incredible team in the making!

      1. eyezil
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        Irish and Welsh them two

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Snoddy too and of course McTominay.

      Hard to look past them for Euro 2020.

      1. eyezil
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

      Lead by the example of Snodgrass

    4. Bees4Lyf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Just need the right manager for the long term

    5. Mysterion

      Yeah and Tierney, Josh King, Scott Brown etc.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Wales’ future looks huge too when you see the players they have coming through. Wilson, Ampadu, Roberts, Woodburn etc aswell as bale, Ramsey and Davies not exactly being old either.

    7. QueefParkRangers
      • 9 Years

      All above are clueless as each other

  10. GAMBIT

  11. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 4 months ago

    Chambers has surprisingly good distribution.

    I think he might be better than Dier for England's holding role.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Anyone would be better than Dier

  12. WVA
    • 7 Years

    Tempted to sell Son, too rotation prone and blocked my Bennett clean sheet

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years

      lol

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      seems like the only Spurs attacker not rotated is Kane

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Got to be worth moving Brooks on right?

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Probably to Snoddy

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        lol, I love how the post above is asking to move Brooks to Snoddy and 3 people say no.

    2. Naby K8a
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Mitro has looked like he wants to kill him after he lost the ball carelessly a couple times

  23. R.C

    CRY are so unpredictable

    Hazard is going to punish a lot of sellers in the next few GW - my pick for the top scorer over the festive period

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Nah, he doesn't have that selfish streak which makes a great FPL player.

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years

      I hope so - not my captain but kept the faith when others didn't

    Kane owners, are you content or disappointed with today's result?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Disappointed...

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Obviously very disappointed

    3. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Disappointed but will keep. Knowing Kane he will score a brace v Everton away.

      Disappointed...but at least it's not 1 or 2

      One assist would be OK if he was a 6-7M forward.

      Content.
      Hopefully Laca will score tomorrow too 😛

      Depends how Auba/Salah do tomorrow.

      Will come back to you when Salah and Aubameyang have played.

      I would be happy with goal and assist. But just assist no. Its like blank for 12.6.

      Selling him for Kun or Auba

      Disappointed for sure, but better than the 4pts he was on track for

      Delighted!

      But then I'm not a (C)ane owner this year.

      Seriously, he has got to be overpriced this season.

      Content for now... Aguero plodded along with 6/7 points a lot earlier in the season and people were happy enough. Will depend entirely on how Aub does tomorrow though.

    Rashford or Chicha for the next 4? Have Anderson. Can see Rashford picking up a few points over Xmas.

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years

      I wouldnt choose Rashford if he s only striker on FPL.
