Final straw for West Ham defence in comeback win

The Fantasy Premier League interest in West Ham’s defence hit rock-bottom in Blank Gameweek 31 in a high-scoring game at the London Stadium.

The Hammers conceded three goals to bottom side Huddersfield Town after FPL managers had stocked up defensive assets.

Whether this spells the end for investment in Lukasz Fabianski (£4.8m) and his colleagues at the back, is the focus of this latest Scout Notes article.

West Ham United 4-3 Huddersfield Town

Goals: Mark Noble (£4.8m), Angelo Ogbonna (£4.2m), Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández x2 (£6.1m) | Juninho Bacuna (£4.2m), Karlan Grant x2 (£5.0m)

Assists: Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m), Aaron Cresswell (£5.0m), Samir Nasri (£5.2m), Felipe Anderson (£7.2m) | Aaron Mooy (£5.0m), Chris Löwe (£4.4m), Terence Kongolo (£4.3m)

West Ham’s defensive issues were laid bare by the most goal-shy side in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon. In the four matches prior to Blank Gameweek 31, Huddersfield were bottom of the league for shots in the box, efforts on target, big chances and goal conversion rate. That, understandably, led to mass investment in Hammers options additional to Fabianski at the back, 145,000+ signing Declan Rice (£4.7m), with Angelo Ogbonna (£4.2m) and Issa Diop (£4.4m) also considered. However, in Blank Gameweek 31, the Terriers recorded more big chances than any other side, were joint-second for total goal attempts and joint-third for shots on target.

“We talked before the game that maybe this team don’t win too many games because they don’t have many goals but they always score from set pieces. They then scored two goals from set pieces.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Before this match, Huddersfield had scored eight away league goals all season but they added three to that total after visiting West Ham, an increase of 37% in one match. Considering how late we are in the campaign, that is a huge figure that demonstrates the levels to which the Hammers’ defence have fallen.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men have seriously struggled to keep clean sheets in home matches against favourable opposition this season, Newcastle the only side outside the top six to blank at the London Stadium in 2018/19. Bournemouth, Wolves, Burnley, Cardiff City, Crystal Palace, Watford, Brighton and Fulham have all come to West Ham and scored when Fabianski has largely been turned to as a starting goalkeeper for his 18.4% ownership.

Conceding three to Huddersfield’s attack is likely to be the final straw for Fantasy managers as we approach Free Hit and second Wildcard season. With goalkeepers such as Rui Patrício (£4.5m) and Vicente Guaita (£4.2m) already confirmed to have two fixtures in Double Gameweek 32 and Ben Foster (£4.6m), Mat Ryan (£4.4m) and Neil Etheridge (£4.7m) likely to have the same, Fabianski, who faces Everton at home, will not be an option worth considering next time out. After that, it’s a trip to Chelsea in Blank Gameweek 33 and Manchester United in Gameweek 34, by which point second Wildcards are likely to have seen him removed for better shot-stoppers.

Only two West Ham defensive options came away with healthy Gameweek scores. The first was Ogbonna, who scored a second-half headed goal. The centre-back hadn’t shown a great of threat in the four matches prior to Blank Gameweek 31, but out of West Ham’s defensive options, he was joint-top for shots inside the box with Diop.

Aaron Cresswell (£5.0m) was the other, registering the assist for Ogbonna’s strike. The left-back was making his second start in a row, having missed out on a place in the first XI in Gameweeks 28 and 29. Crucially, it was Cresswell who largely benefited from a surprise benching for Robert Snodgrass (£5.0m), the usual set piece taker. The former Ipswich Town defender took three corners at the London Stadium, more than any of his colleagues, although Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m) and Felipe Anderson (£7.2m) chipped in with one each.

The latter experienced some advantages from Snodgrass’ absence, but not as many as was expected when the team-sheet came out. As already mentioned, Anderson was able to take one corner against Huddersfield, but also had a crack at a direct free-kick, which he fired into the wall. Either way, he finished the match with more key passes than any other player, with the majority of them coming from open play. Anderson’s number of chances created against Huddersfield was higher than the total he had recorded across the previous matches, hence how he was able to provide a first assist since Gameweek 25.

The striker situation at West Ham still seems rather unsettled, even after Pellegrini’s comments last week about Marko Arnautovic (£6.9m) returning to the solitary forward position for the Huddersfield match. The Austrian did indeed make his first start since Gameweek 24 but had just one shot and was booed off the pitch when he was replaced by Lucas Pérez (£6.2m) in the 68th minute.

“I think that, as every player who is not at their best, Marko did not have the best game. When Samir Nasri came as a playmaker, he gave more balls to the attackers. The complete team played very bad during most part of the game, conceding two goals from set pieces and after that, the complete team improved and we changed the score.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Meanwhile, Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernández (£6.1m) was absent for just the second time since Gameweek 25 after a poor performance against Cardiff, in which he was booked for diving. However, the Mexican was brought on for Michail Antonio (£6.8m) at half-time and scored twice, getting the winning goal too. He probably has the advantage over Arnautovic at this point but it is hard to tell, given the minutes he and his colleague have played in recent weeks.

“I think that Javier was playing well all the games except against Cardiff, where all the team played very bad. Maybe in that action [his dive] he felt someone touch him and he made a mistake. But he is an important player, every time he is in the box he is a danger to the other team. Today, I think he did not have so much pressure without having Marko behind him. But I always say to the players who are a substituted you are still involved in the game, it is so important.” – Manuel Pellegrini

Mark Noble (£4.8m) registered further confirmation that he is still on penalties for West Ham after he dispatched a first-half spot-kick following a foul on Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m). The Argentinian midfielder has now started the last three matches in a row.

With set pieces proving important for Huddersfield against West Ham, it is no surprise to see that no player created more chances at the London Stadium than Aaron Mooy (£5.0m).

Meanwhile, no player from either side registered more shots on target than Karlan Grant (£5.0m), who emerged from the match with two goals and a 13-point haul. It was the third start in four for the striker, who this time kept Steve Mounié (£5.8m) out of the starting line-up for the first time since Gameweek 27. It sums up Huddersfield’s season that, even though he arrived in January and has scored just three times in the Premier League, Grant is now the top-scorer both for the Terriers and former club Charlton Athletic this season.

In defence, Christopher Schindler (£4.2m) missed the match through illness and with Thomas ‘Zanka’ Jørgensen (£4.4m) benched for the third time in four Gameweeks, it was Terence Kongolo (£4.3m) and Jon Stankovic (£3.9m) at centre-back. The latter, who has been used in central midfield of late, looks like he could make for decent bench-fodder for those playing the Free Hit in Double Gameweek 32 as he has started the last four in a row. Also, FPL defender Chris Löwe (£4.4m) made his first start since Gameweek 27 and was used on the left-wing.

However, defensive issues continue to plague Huddersfield as much as they did their opponents. Despite having a comfortable hold on the game in the 75th minute, with a 3-1 lead, the Terriers let it slip with no team conceding more shots than them in the Blank Gameweek. That bodes well for Crystal Palace options preparing for a home match against them in Gameweek 32.

“There are reasons why we are bottom of the table (referring to goals conceded in the second half). I said it from the beginning but I still kept fighting as you saw today.” – Jan Siewert

West Ham United XI (4-1-4-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Diop, Zabaleta; Rice; Anderson, Lanzini, Noble (Nasri 59′), Antonio (Hernández 45′); Arnautovic (Pérez 68′).

Huddersfield Town XI (4-2-3-1): Lössl; Durm, Kongolo, Stankovic, Smith; Mooy, Bacuna (Puncheon 67′); Löwe, Pritchard, Rowe (Billing 55′); Grant (Mounié 70′).

        I brought him in last night and now I'm sort of regretting it with the news of him pulling out of the France squad. Hope the knee is sorted out before GW32.

          His knees will be fine as soon as the internationals are over....

    My free hit was pretty terrible. Only 33 points, and I had Siggy (6) and Ogbonna (7) on the bench.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Oof.

    2. bitm2007

      Your FH bench sounds pricey, most on here will be going dirt cheap, 3.8 and 3.9's.this GW.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Thats how to play it.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          Yes little point in having much value tried up there, your DGW'ers would have to fail to play twice for the bench players to be used.

      2. Feanor
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Because there were only 10 teams, there really wasn't any players left to buy with the extra cash, hence the expensive bench. I just wish I had played Siggurdson, not Barnes. I also took Rondon out of Barnes t the last minute, lol.

  3. Rupert The Horse

    As I was thinking of keeping Vardy and possibly Higuain on FH, what are people's thoughts on me just doing Salah and Wilson to Aguero and Sterling for a hit and using the TC on Aguero?

    Current team:

    Fab
    Pereira Shaw TAA
    Rich Mane Salah* Fraser
    Vardy Higuain Wilson*

    Hamer Schindler Bednarek Ward.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      No as leaves team very light in numbers and risk Jesus will get second game v Cardiff as think City have 4 fixtures over 10 days

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks.

    2. scubasmithy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Your TC strategy is a decent one, but don't justify it by pretending you'd keep Vardy and Higuaín on a free hit - you would not surely go near either of them on a free hit.

      for example - strikers I'd prefer to them on a free hit are....

      Aguero
      Kane
      Rashford
      Lukaku
      Jimenez

      Then you need Sterling, Pogba, possibly Milo, etc....

      Then you look at your defence, with Fabianski, Pereira, TAA

      don't get me wrong - TC on Aguero is a great shout, and gives you a nice free hit later on, but......

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        I actually am considering keeping Vardy, even asked a page or two ago.
        But I see the rest of your points.

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Fab
      Pereira Shaw (on 9 YC) TAA
      Rich Mane Fraser
      Vardy

      Do not know about you but wouldn’t want any of these guys on FH. All have mediocre single fixture cept shaw who’s on 9YC.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Oh is he? Had no idea, thanks for that.

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          No worries

    4. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      So I would think it’s still better to FH

    5. T96
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Free hit is worth far more than triple captain as others will be captaining Aguero so you're only coming out with a third of the points more. Plus most of your squad plays once at most so you're basically losing points straight away...

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Ok, good feedback guys, twas just a thought, FH it is.

        1. scubasmithy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          A sound decision, still a few options for TC further down the line.

  4. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Thoughts on the following?

    Kepa.
    Lindelof, Luiz, Laporte, Schlupp.
    Sterling, Pogba, Milivojevic, Hazard.
    Aguero, Lukaku.

    1. Sulk
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      pretty much the same as mine. I have Kane and Ryan, you have Lukaku and Kepa. Looks good. I wasnt keen on double chelsea defense and thought Ryan would at least pick up some save points. And Kane is more likely to get 180 mins than Lukaku.

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        I've been between Kane & Lukaku since the second i activated the chip, but personally think people are overestimating the impact of a new ground on Spurs/Kane.

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Good team. Tempted to have Kane instead of Lukaku but must cut elsewhere.

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    How is looking on FH? Assumes Watford and Brighton get double week and Holebas fit

    Ryan
    Holebas Smalling Schlupp
    Sterling Hazard Pogba Milivojevic
    Aguero Kane Rashford

    Stekelenburg Hudson-Odoi Valery Peltier

    1. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Low TV?
      I don't like Ryan/Holebas in defense

  6. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Thoughts on high upside differentials for FH32?

    Sane, Alonso & Young must be in the mix - on their day those guys can go larger than most

    Sane in particular would require a lot of luck though given the fact that Pep no longer seems to play him

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      I'm not taking selection risks. Nailed* or bust.

      * As they can be

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      You'd think Sane gets one starts with games so close to another. Alonso too risky didn't play well yesterday.

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Alli and Erikson maybe.

      Yeh Young could be good.

    4. Nailed Jesus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Etheridge - you just need him to save haz's and aguero's pens. 30+pts swing

    5. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Any attacker from Palace/Wolves/Watford/Spurs will be differential

  7. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Still scarred from yesterday.

    A whopping 13 points from Salah(TC), Robbo, Alisson, Hazard and Azpi.

    Game over.

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Lesson learned?

      Save your TC for a DGW. Play the numbers.

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Duffy will be my TC in his DGW don’t worry son 😉

      2. Jambot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        I did that in an attempt to use all my chips in DGW and got 1 point from Sane X3 in city’s DGW which is worse. Sgw is more of a risk but not necessarily worse I think salah v Fulham was a decent punt.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      That’s what you call unfortunate. A lot of poor GW here

    3. scubasmithy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Had an absolute shocker of a gameweek myself....

      Cannot believe this lot only managed 25 points.....

      Fabianski
      Robertson
      TAA
      David Luiz
      Pereira
      Hazard
      Salah (c)
      Anderson (my solitary return with an assist)
      Barnes
      Vardy
      Wilson

      FFS

  8. Moorinho
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Which one would you TC out of this lot?

    Sterling (ful, CAR likely)
    Haz (car, BRI likely)
    Pogba (WAT, wol)

    Have Higgy and Jimenez (& Lord Mane) as well, but not considering for captaincy.

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Sterling by a mile.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Sterling

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Sterling

    4. scubasmithy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Sterling by as big a distance as you can imagine

      1. Moorinho
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        light years I guess then lol

        quite the consensus then

        1. Brosstan
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          Light year is a measure of time, not distance

    5. Feanor
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Hazard.

      Just kidding. Sterling, obviously.

    6. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Hazard probably will our score him now 😀

  9. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    .1 short of this team. Pretty annoying

    Kepa
    Luiz Lindelof laporte awb
    Pogba sterling jota
    Kane Aguero Vardy

    3.9 4.2 4.2 3.8

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      No Vardy double. Get in Rash. Sorted.

    2. Hibbopotamus
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Just swap Vardy to Rash or Jimenez and you're good. Presuming you're FH though.

  10. YouReds
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Only got a SV of 101.3 so unfortunately I can't have them all... how does the below look....

    Kepa
    Lindelof Laporte AWB
    Hazard Sterling Pogba JWP Mili
    Aguero Higuain

    I can get Kane in, and/or play 3 up top, but the defence is then significantly weakened. Least this way I have a lot of penalty / set piece takers

    1. Moorinho
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      For someone who can't have them all, this looks pretty much like everything I'd want if I was FH'ing

      9/10

    2. You just got Kaned
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      With someone that also has a low SV, I can't see how you can get Kane in just by re-arranging your defence. Is it possible?

  11. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Anyone going double Spurs Attack?

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Yep. Eriksen and Kane.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        I was toying with Alli and Kane myself.

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          kinky.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      No

    3. Moorinho
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      No. Likely to blank vs Liverpool & Palace are way better away from home (they're relegation candidates at home lol)

    4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Don't want any of them.

  12. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Any reason why people are including Vardy in FH squads?
    Newcastle will have first choice CB then you imagine and he’s only one game. Wait all season for DGW need to have all players with two fixtures 🙂

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Vardy plays Bournemouth at home

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        And?

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 12 days ago

          One plump fixture at home is enough for him to get double digit score over someone who might just reach 10 over two fixtures.

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 12 days ago

            That’s no fun though is it. Half the minutes conceivably of an alternative pick.

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 12 days ago

        Oh Bournemouth! Ok that’s slightly better 😀 still not playing the numbers. It’s all about DGWs

  13. The 12th Man
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    0,2,1,2,2

    Last 5 GW scores and by a popular FH pick.

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Who’s that?

    2. The 12th Man

      26 - injured
      27 - Liverpool at home - was always gonna be a bus parker and was hobbling due to other injuries
      28 - Palace away - rested
      29 - Southampton at home - fair enough - a stinker
      30 - harsh result away at Arsenal, looked lively

      So of those games...…. only really week 29 concerns me....

      Given price an fixtures, I think he is a very obvious choice to include in free hit and helps to facilitate Kane, Aguero and Sterling... That said Lukaku is also a good shout but pricey

    FH - the Kane and Kun draft. I don't like paying this much for Luiz, but I feel like I need Chelsea defensive cover. Am I misguided in that? Is Deulofeu too much of a risk?

    Ederson (3.9)
    Shaw, Luiz, AWB (Valery, Peltier)
    Pogba, Hazard, D. Silva, Deulofeu (Romeu)
    Kane, Kun, Jimenez

  15. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    I've got my list of must have for this week.

    Aguero, Sterling, Rashford, Pogba, Wan-bisaka (at least bench fodder)

    Filling in around them is the hard part...

    Anyone disagree with these guys as the core of the squad?

    1. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      I would add City & Chelsea def/GK.
      WB can be Sou 4.0 def (if they get DGW) to get some more £.

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Wan Bissaka either plays, or don't have him.
      Bench fodder should be 3.8m - if you have a team of DGWers then maybe they only play once, but if they don't play either game you've picked the wrong players.

    3. Moorinho
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      I'd put Haz instead of Rashford. Other than that, yeah.

    4. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Not convinced Rashford plays both games.

      Same with Kun and Sterling, but given fixtures they look essential even just playing one game.

    5. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      All good options, Wan Bissaka the only one that perhaps won't make it into my team.

      Aguero and Sterling the only two must haves for me.

  16. T96
    • 5 Years

    Thoughts??

    Ederson
    AWB Shaw Valery
    Sterling(c) Pogba Hazard JWP
    Aguero Zaha* Kane

    Bench = Cheap

    *If fit.

  17. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    I think ultimately I won't be able to do a lot better than this with my TV 🙁

    Ederson
    Luiz, Dunk, WB, Valery/Bednarek
    Pogba, Hazard, Sterling
    Aguero, Kane, Zaha

    I'd consider WB, Dunk, Ederson, Pogba, Hazard, Kane and Zaha to all be nailed for both games. Aguero and Sterling risks worth taking. Luiz is a slight gamble, but will almost definitely start one if not both.

    1. KingOllie
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Basically the same as mine.. i think its good enough bro 🙂

  18. LǝgleSs e|even

    Your pick of players that will have a double rise before the next GW?

  19. wernerhedgehog
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Have Guaita, AWB and Doherty.

    Should I keep them all in my FH squad?

    1. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Other than Laporte, reckon any other must have double players?

  20. KLOPPS AND ROBBERS... the s…
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Zaha or Rashford on FH?

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      One of GW. Zaha or Bats. Especially as they play Huddersfield at home in one of the games.

    2. wernerhedgehog
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Rashford imho. Lukaku might steal some goals. Batsuayi might steal some goals. Man Utd are a more attacking team., thats a dealbreaker.

    3. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Zaha

  21. YouReds
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    a) Lukaku + Schlupp
    b) Higuain + Lindelof

    1. Eytexi
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      A

  22. jtreble
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Absolutely worthless speculation: Matt Doherty (WOV) to MNC. He's under contract until the end of 2020/21 - GBP 10K/week.

  23. Eytexi
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Luiz or Batshuayi?

  24. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Would you rather have Luiz or Deulofeu on FH?

    1. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Luiz.
      Watford have already shown they will rotate.

    2. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      If they'd got knocked out I'd be all over Watford but for now I think the only safe option is Foster (I think 😉 )

  25. Lav
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    OR: 181k—> 239k

    Season has fallen apart. With all chips available is there still hope to finish Top 100k?

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      I was 700k at this point 2 seasons ago and finished 120k, so yes!

    2. Silecro
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      of course, im also myself in range of 250k and have faith i will end up in top 100k, just need to use chips well since a lot of them already used tc and free hit

    3. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Have you still got chips. I'm around 20k with just Free Hit left. You could potentially catch me if you make the right moves.

  26. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    We all know and have experienced Zaha dgw troll

    1. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Serious I'd love him but Jimenez/ Rashford seem just as good options.

  27. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Any more DGW fixtures released ? Thought they were being announced today ?

    1. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      Give it until Wednesday pal

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      My incredibly unprofessional opinion is that they will be released tomorrow.

      Shouldn't be long anyways

  28. Another Hoops
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Help please. If I free hit how does this look?

    Foster - Ryan
    Azpi - Valery - Tomkins
    Sterling (c) - Hazard - Pogba - Townsend
    Kane - Aguero - Rashford

    Ryan - Capoue - Dunk - Saiss

  29. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    Apart from Spurs game.. do we know any more dgwers? Will there be any more or thats all, added to ManU fixture?

  30. Malkmus
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 12 days ago

    On FH, would you rather have:

    A - Zaha in 343, +0.5 ITB
    B - Mili in 352, +1.1 ITB

    Ta !

    1. Another Hoops
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 days ago

      I'd rather have Zaha over Mili

      1. Malkmus
