Arnautovic on the bench again for West Ham

1,011 Comments
Share

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

          I bought Rondon fairly blindly off the back of a G + A v Hudds, with GW31 in mind. Nothing can get near him. I'm disappointed in myself for making the blind transfer tbh.

          I did think Newcastle had turned a corner with their recent results though. But this is atrocious. West Ham aren't exactly amazing.

      I'm starting to despise Pep. Why did he have to stay saying that he was tired last game in the last 15 mins and then mentioned Jesus ready for action, etc, etc... and then he still plays Aguero the full game ??

      Apart from that, how do you play a player 3 days after he played a 120 min game and then another the following 3 days for the full 90 mins?? Jesus was ready to at least play half the game today. Pep is really losing it !

        FPL should introduce new rule next season (better still from this week itself): If your captain is in negative then armband should move to VC. 😐

          Nice if you got Pogba (C) and Auba (VC)

            In that case C is void with no doubling 🙂

        I wonder how many of those weirdos created a new team just for tonight's high score and triple captained Pogba.

        LOL @ those guys.
