Why Fantasy managers should wait and see on West Ham this season

2,384 Comments

Fantasy Premier League managers might want to exercise caution over West Ham assets at the start of 2019/20.

The Hammer start with a tough opening weekend fixture against Manchester City, but it is hard to guarantee Fantasy potential even in the more appealing matches that follow.

Looking at last season’s data, there is a possibility that their new-look attack could take some time to gel.

Meanwhile, the Hammers defence was questionable in 2018/19.

We’ve taken a look at all areas of Manuel Pellegrini’s team last season to see where Fantasy manager can find value in 2019/20.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those signed up for the new season can access it in full.

      CP is Zaha's "Hotel California"

      He can check-out anytime he likes, but he can NEVER leave

      On the bright side, London is supposed to be better than Liverpool as a town, No?

      I am not British, seems like London is you boy's New York and Liverpool is the Philadelphia. Let me tell you, Philly sucks. Philly is a not-clean, dangerous city. College girls have been hit in the face with Bricks by people merely coveting their shoes.

    Your thoughts guys?

    What could be a better combination?
    A) Wilson and Greenwood (As it is)
    B) Downgrade Wilson to King and get Murray also

    My team so far:

    Pope (Heaton)
    TAA Digne KWP Zinchenko (Rico)
    Salah Sterling Siggy Moura (Dendoncker)
    Wilson Jota (Greenwood)

    Now my concern is Greenwood as a sub (Expected pricedrop mainly)
