Are West Ham defenders worth FPL investment?

Three clean sheets on the bounce have placed West Ham’s defence back on the Fantasy Premier League radar.

The Hammers have not conceded a single goal since Andre Gray (£5.9m) scored for Watford in Gameweek 3.

Following the 3-1 win at Vicarage Road, Norwich, Aston Villa and Manchester United have all gone up against Manuel Pellegrini’s men and failed to make a breakthrough.

Interest in West Ham’s defensive assets is understandably on the increase, but are they worth the investment.

This article aims to uncover the Hammers’ clean sheet potential over their upcoming fixtures and which individual assets warrant the spending.

As it uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who are signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

What is West Ham’s clean sheet potential?

    Downgraded Robbo to fund an early move for Tammy. I also can sign Mount for a hit.

    However, think I made a mistake by selling Robbo. Do you think that Mount (-4) can be justified long term?

    Cheers.

        Got tempted by the upcoming run of fixtures for Chelsea...

        Your thoughts on McGinn vs Mount (in the next three)?

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mount easily

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Should be worth the hit imo

          1. arndff_
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Dendoncker to Mount it is.

            1. Shineonme
              • 7 Years

              Good move. Chelsea's fixtures look good going forward.

      I toyed woth removing robbo but think ill just stick. Like mount, not sure about a hit though.

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        LMAO! Your nickname...

        My move is Dendoncker > Mount. 😀

  2. Fork handles

    A), B) or Wildcard?

    Pope
    TAA, Robertson, Otamendi, Digne, Zinchenko
    Salah, Sterling, Mount, Pepe
    Pukki

    McGovern - Greenwood - Dendoncker - Wickham

    2FTs
    £0.2m itb

    A) Zinchenko & Pepe -> Soyuncu & KdB
    B) Zinchenko, Salah & Wickham -> Soyuncu, Son & Abraham (-4)
    C) Something else / wildcard

    Liverpools fixtures turning slightly plus I'd still have the wildcard in my pocket should it go horribly wrong. Any opinions valued, cheers

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Just zinc out and roll a trade

    2. Regin
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      a. KDB essential. Not that impressed with Pepe. Had he not been given that penalty, he would still be on 0 goals.

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

    4. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I think you have too much money in defence although I can definitely see the appeal in TAA and Robbo.

      Probably A this week

      1. Regin
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        yeah didnt notice. horrible fwd line. get rid of digne & robbo (or taa) and upgrade forwards.

  3. Erez Avni
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    brought mount, otta and rico for a -4.
    now with maddison news should I WC (bringing taa, kun, tammy and son) or just hope that greenwood will start?...

    ryan
    robo otta soyu (lundstram, rico)
    salah sterling maddison de bruyne mount
    pukki haler (greenwood)

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood risky

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        not risky bench fodder anyway

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Rico no?

    3. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Play rico

  4. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you rather have on a wildcard?

    A. Salah, Guendouzi, Soyuncu
    B. Mane, Cantwell, Otamendi

    Thanks

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      B

    2. Pacer.

      B but with Soy and money itb

    3. All For One

      B

      1. All For One

        My bad post was meant be above, B

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 7 Years

      B better combo although salah is better than mane in my eyes

    5. Shineonme

      B

    Firmino has had an uncharacteristic streak of points now (in 5 of 6 games). Last year he was not a FF option as he played a deeper role.

    So the question then... is this just a fluke and will things return normal or have Liverpool adjusted their style of play?

    I tried a player comparison in the member section and I couldn't identify any tactical change.... he looks slightly more forward and has more penalty area touches recently. He also has a significantly improved minutes per attempt and more goal attempts. Has he been given a different set of instructions? Is Klopp trying to ease the defensive pressure on Mane and Salah by encouraging Firmino to shoot rather than pass?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Just a fluke, move along, move along.

    2. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Opposition busy trying to track Mane, Salah, Arnold and Robertson. Leaving Firmino in more space.

      1. Party time
          4 years, 6 months ago

          This

      2. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I think he's just played very, very well. Even better than usual.

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yep. People forget players can improve I think.

          1. Jarnathan
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            They can, or they can just be streaky or even completely unreliable (like Richarlison). A few seasons ago Firmino had a similar streak, which ended, but Liverpool are a completely different beast now.

            I'm trying to determine how much of it is luck/form (temporary) or change in tactics (which may be a case for investment)

      3. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        guess what? The game that he blank is vs arsenal which supposedly the team that enjoy to score----But im still think he not an explosive return type but the steady one

      4. MTPockets
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Watch him. Just looks on fire individually

        • Dosh
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He's in the form of his life so naturally the stats will improve.

        • avfc82
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He's shooting more often thats for sure, and has probably been Liverpool's best attacking player. Is it a form thing or tactical? Not quite sure to be honest but its something to keep an eye on.

      5. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        KDB around UCL period:

        Do we smell heavy rotation there? I do. Usually one of the first attackers to come off so far this season and even was rested vs Norwich before Shaktar. Is Pep protecting him? Is it worth having a Son over him for periods like this?

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          As a non-owner (I know...) I was hoping for this but the loss against Norwich with KdB dropped was the worst case scenario for that hope, I think he misses a lot of CL, like Kun, their group is a joke anyway.

          1. Regin
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            i agree with u man. KDB not getting dropped anytime soon. Worse he gets subbed at 70+.
            Man City group too easy. Even with their B team they will top their group.

            1. The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Yeah, they've already won their hardest game 0-3, lol.

        2. Regin
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          i have both kdb & son.

        3. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          How did the Norwich match go without him?

          Feel sure he'll miss regularly but likely in the same way Sterling did last season. 3/4 rotations in first part of season and then almost ever present when the season gets to the pointy end

          1. Regin
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            with city trailing by 5, dont think pep can rest kdb anytime soon.

      6. Regin
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        tough captaincy choice this weekend

        A. Aguero
        B. KDB
        C. Salah
        D. Abraham

        Who would u captain of this lot? I am leaning towards Kun, but feel like taking a punt on Tammy captain.

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          E. Son another option as well

        2. The Knights Template

          A

        3. JT11fc
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Between Son Tammy Kun And KDB for me.
          Going Son

        4. All For One
          • 5 Years

        5. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Salah or Aguero/Sterling

      7. have you seen cyan

        Does Eric Dier need to start for Spurs?

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Lol. He smashed it vs Colchester tbf so solid. Poch is a genius playing 3 CDMs against them

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Lol, I do think spurs miss him. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him in the starting line up soon. Eriksen and Alli need to stay away for now. Eriksen is shocking! At least alli lacks some fitness but eriksen, put him on a plane to somewhere already

            1. The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              He looks like he's completely checked out.

              1. have you seen cyan
                • 4 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Honestly starting to think eriksen just trying to sabotage the team in the dressing room and on the field. Poch needs to perma drop him

                1. jtreble
                  • 7 Years
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I think Poch is part of the problem too - some very strange decision making IMHO.

                  1. have you seen cyan
                    • 4 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Indeed, some weird selections and weirder benches

                    1. have you seen cyan
                      • 4 Years
                      4 years, 6 months ago

                      Needs to go back to basics, drop the drift wood and stop making so many changes all the time. Think he will get it right but the whole eriksen fiasco is a nightmare. Imo as soon as player wants to leave just let them go, if their heart isn’t with the club anymore then their play won’t be either. No point trying to force something, the biggest agenda of the transfer window should have been getting eriksen out and signing a better replacement.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        No. West Ham clean sheets in a row is great but it will not continue.

        1. Concrete
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Got the fixtures

          Neville commented last week on their excellent defensive shape. Not a bad comment if you believe him.

      9. Joey Barton and Friends
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thoughts on my WC team massively appreciated:

        Pope (Button)

        Tomori - Soy - Mings - (Lundy) - (Rico)

        Sterling - Salah - McGinn- KDB - (Hayden)

        Abraham - Auba - Pukki

        1. Dosh
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Defense feels light, good otherwise.

          1. Joey Barton and Friends
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            yeah but besides Rico they should all be playing and not seeing a lot of value in defence (except at much higher prices). Also somehow don't fancy Son

        2. ebb2sparky
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          That defence looks awful and is going to cost you transfers in the future. I'd drop one of the premium players and improve your defence. Not sure which one to drop though!

          1. Joey Barton and Friends
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            could drop McGinn and get an Otamendi or someone similar.

            1. valurth
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Sterling, McGinn out

              Get in one of the following defender: TAA, Aurier, Otamendi

              Midfield: D. Silva, B. Silva , Son, Mount

              Did Sterling to KDB this week, 12.0 should be outperforming all the others but he’s not
              KDB+Aguero my prefered Man.City players

          2. Camino Aleatorio
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Not everyone thinks that defense is awful. I don’t

            Without clean sheets, only Liverpool premiums are worth it

            Otamendi is not a bad pickup because he is a Ball Hawk in the opposing box and was not expensive last week

            You must lack money to have a cheap defense and no backup goaltender....and still need Hayden as a 5th midfielder

        3. Shineonme
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Downgrade Aub to Wilson and upgrade that weak defence

                      Double Poll defence seems a bit much esp considering their fixtures

                  How about Aspi to Alonso and Robertson to Aurier
                  Would rather have Liverpool attack, one of Salah, Mane, Firmino

                Sterling ran with the ball at his feet like Messi last night

                  Yep

                  Sold him strategically last week to make way for a defender and in the belief he'd be rotated but in a couple I expect to do the Kun switch to get him back.

                  Great player. Needed the rest and he'll fire

                    • 9 Years

                    It’s tricky but I’m riding it out until the Ib and reassessing but he looks very good

                  I'm very worried about owning two Spurs but still capping him.

                  Something making me doubt Spurs. I could be off the mark but it seems they’re a little inconsistent.

                  At home v Soton could be a good differential but I’d be looking at Liverpool or City options

                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  I suppose it does come with a bit of risk, Spurs are all over the place and have only won two of their eight matches this season.

                  I do think a lot of their troubles are on the road tho, despite the Newcastle defeat.

                  1. The Ejiptian King

                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Yeah, their away form is long term awful after being incredibly strong before that, very strange.

                  Sterling

                  Look out for Rashford news, Greenwood might play. Weak forward line. Is Sterling worth it?

                  I’d be tempted to keep VvD due to his fixture

                  Digne dg before VvD and get Mountistead of Ceballos?

                      That’s a shame

                      You have Adrian for this week so save for 2FT next week. Then you could dg Adrian to Button and get TAA

                      Could do it for minus 4 this week or Play Lund this week

                  I kind of agree with Az and think Alonso could be a steal at 6.2m and I’m think with their run of fixtures clean sheets will surely come... Otherwise I think I’m going via Leicester to pereira as I think soyuncu is just boring... Looking to downgrade VD but only if Liverpool keep conceding, and I’ll give him SU and Leicester..

                    It’s a thinking game haha

                    My take is Alonso's appeal depends on the system Lampard uses till Emerson returns.

                    If it's three at the back, I'd consider investing. He'll be playing an advanced role, and if Kante is one of the two central midfielders, I could see one or two clean sheets.

                    If it's a back four, not so keen. He won't get forward as much and they'll probably continue conceding. At 6.2, I don't want to be relying solely on attacking returns, especially when Chelsea are inconsistent, which is understandable considering the young players (Tomori, Mount, Abraham) in the team were playing Championship football last season.

                  Sterling owners.
                  I guess this week the sensible play is to hold for now?
                  Are you captaining though?

                  I'm so tempted to do Sterling and Barnes to Son and Firmino but I guess another week to look at Sterling is wise? Just worried I will be in the same boat for the next few weeks being scared to drop him. Thoughts?

                  Good article about the merits of West Ham defenders and i am tempted but at the same time i am still haunted by a similar situation about two seasons ago when i doubled up on Hammers defenders (Masuaku&Ogbonna) and got burned badly in the process.

                    B doesn't do it for me.

                    C over A to get the guaranteed minutes up

                    C or A

                    Maybe both for a hit?

                    The stand out move is Haller to Abrahams

                    Sheff, although not been too bad haven’t played Liverpool or City yet so I’m backing Liverpool to be easy winners
