Arnautovic on the bench again for West Ham

1,011 Comments

Marko Arnautovic (£6.8m) has been named on the bench again for West Ham.

Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez (£6.1m) leads the line against Newcastle in the Saturday evening kick-off.

That means Arnautovic has started just once in the last six Gameweeks.

Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m) continues his comeback as he earns his first start in 293 days after a bad injury.

He looks to be operating in the middle of a three-man attacking midfield, flanked by Felipe Anderson (£7.2m) and Robert Snodgrass (£5.0m).

Fabian Balbuena (£4.2m) is still not fit enough for the matchday squad, which means Angelo Ogbonna (£4.2m) and Issa Diop (£4.3m).

The main Fantasy interest in the Newcastle side will be focussed around Salomón Rondón (£5.9m), owned by 8.1%.

He starts up front in the 5-4-1 formation favoured by Rafa Benitez with Miguel Almirón (£6.0m) and Ayoze Perez (£6.1m) providing the width.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Diop, Ogbonna, Fredericks; Rice, Noble; Anderson, Lanzini, Snodgrass; Chicharito.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Manquillo, Lascelles, Lejeune, Schär, Ritchie; Ayoze Pérez, Hayden, Longstaff, Almirón; Rondón

        The reason the Irish started planting spuds was because the crown forces would not go to the trouble of digging them up and destroying the crop like they used do with wheat and corn.

          They didn't destroy the wheat and corn, they exported it while people were starving

          I know he has got it but he would not be the first that they have overlooked.

          An embarrassment of riches that they dont know what to do with.

    Lukaku is perfect example of how far hard work can take you. Gets you to play at top level at best but never be considered world class like Kane/Kun/Lewondowski. Sadly first touch is something the talented ones are born with and cant be taught. Will always respect this talentless player for managing to play for a top 10 club in world thanks to his sheer determination and hardwork

        Needed to ditch someone to free up cash to enable Son to Sterling/Hazard. When I heard the news about Doherty being benched this morning, I ditched him for Rice. These moments don't happen often, will enjoy 🙂 wish I'd gone Hazard instead of Raheem now but can't get it all right.
