The best West Ham players for their appealing fixtures

2,184 Comments
Share

West Ham players are now on the Fantasy Premier League radar after their 3-1 win over Watford.

The Hammers have also have a favourable streak of fixtures coming up to further interest in their assets.

Norwich come to the London Stadium in Gameweek 4 having conceded eight goals in their first three matches of the season.

After that, West Ham travel to newly-promoted Aston Villa, who have just one clean sheet in 2019/20 thus far, which came against a goal-shy Everton side last Friday.

Manchester United and Crystal Palace are the next two sides to travel to East London (in Gameweeks 6 and 8 respectively), before Manuel Pellegrini’s men travel to Bournemouth and Everton.

However, Fantasy managers will still have to ensure they choose the right West Ham player to capitalise on the form and fixtures.

We have gone over the numbers from their first three matches of 2019/20 to work out who that might be.

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

Lessons learned from Gameweek 3

    Any other striker replacements for Kane besides Haller/Pukki?

    Set on a -4 to get KDB.

    Haller’s stats not perhaps a little bit unsustainable?

    Very high shooting success rate if I’m not mistaken?

      Apparently his stats were like that at his previous club - only shoots when it's really good opportunity, so it's quality over quantity.

        Either of the FB but Walker, it just seems the type of game for FB rotation, I’m tempted to take a gamble on the WC

      wouldn't be surprising. City wont have to do much defending for most of the game, and Cancelo's attacking abilities are far better than Walker's

      Your team doesn’t revolve around the goalkeeper getting a cleanie. It’s fine

    Why is everyone so worried about Kelly being taken off at 1/2 time

    If you’re banking on this guy playing regularly think again

    Ravel, Besic and Mousset looked good tonight. Hopefully Mousset starts soon, could be a nice option when our fixtures change for 5.0m
