Moyes gets off to winning start as West Ham’s Double Gameweek 24 assets impress

West Ham United 4-0 Bournemouth

  • Goals: Mark Noble (£5.0m) x2, Sebastien Haller (£7.0m), Felipe Anderson (£6.6m)
  • Assists: Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m), Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m), Declan Rice (£4.7m)
  • Bonus: Noble x3, Fredericks x2, Rice x1

David Moyes’ second stint as West Ham United manager got off to the best possible start on New Year’s Day but he could hardly have wished for more obliging opponents than a woefully out-of-sorts Bournemouth side.

Fantasy Premier League managers will be monitoring the Hammers’ players ahead of Double Gameweek 24, although the fact that the Londoners face Leicester City and Liverpool in that round of fixtures will be off-putting to many.

Forthcoming matches against high-flying Sheffield United and a resurgent Everton will also be truer tests of their abilities, with Wednesday’s opponents Bournemouth the division’s worst team based on form over the last ten Gameweeks.

Still, West Ham couldn’t have done any more than what they did on New Year’s Day, recording their biggest league win in over 12 years.

Moyes didn’t have much time to work with his new troops and didn’t look to make any sweeping tactical changes, retaining a 4-2-3-1 set-up with attacking midfield trio Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m), Felipe Anderson (£6.6m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) playing behind central striker Sebastien Haller (£7.0m).

Michail Antonio (£6.9m) reportedly missed out with a minor hamstring injury.

Haller and Anderson produced arguably their best performances in months, with the hitherto out-of-form striker brilliantly volleying in a Ryan Fredericks (£4.5m) cross and the Brazilian rounding off the scoring when delicately controlling a superb Declan Rice pass (£4.7m) and slotting beyond Aaron Ramsdale (£4.7m) midway through the second half.

Mark Noble (£5.0m), who Moyes has repeatedly praised since his re-appointment as head coach, had opened the scoring with a heavily deflected shot before grabbing his second from the penalty spot after being fouled himself.

There could have been further goals, too, with substitute Manuel Lanzini (£6.2m) heading straight at Ramsdale from six yards and Fornals forcing the Bournemouth goalkeeper into a save with an effort from the edge of the box.

Speaking of the attacking options at his disposal, Moyes said:

We have got so many players who have got the ability. Anderson, Haller, Lanzini, Fornals, all technically gifted players so we want to get them all in the team but we have to play football to win and get ourselves out of this position in the Premier League.

Brazilians score goals, Brazilians make the difference, they do something which makes us all excited, I said [to Anderson] you’re not doing that. Give me a Brazilian goal and to be fair, he did.

Even when Lanzini came on, he looked lively, he had two good opportunities. They are people I know I enjoy working with and hopefully, they felt the same.

Lanzini is one of the players who Moyes worked with in his first stint in east London, with another being Arthur Masuaku (£4.2m) – the FPL defender was deployed ‘out of position’, as he effectively was as a gung-ho wing-back in 2017/18, in a seven-minute cameo against the Cherries on Wednesday.

Lukasz Fabianski (£4.9m) will rarely enjoy an easier afternoon, with his only two saves coming from shots from narrow angles, although his clean sheet was very nearly spoiled late on when Dominic Solanke (£5.2m) nodded against the inside of the post.

Angelo Ogbonna (£4.5m) deserves a mention, too, with the recalled defender delivering an impressive display at centre-half.

Reflecting on his impact on the West Ham players, Moyes said:

I tried to make it as simple as I possibly could.

In truth, I don’t know most of them, maybe eight or nine from before, but I tried to go over with them on yesterday morning, tried to use every bit of time to have conversations with them. I have spoken to one or two individuals who I think will make the difference for us.

But, really, we worked on being in a good defensive shape and when we lost possession, we were in a good place.

What I saw recently is the minute the ball changed over, we couldn’t get back into a good enough shape in transition. We have the ability to run fast forward, play off a big centre forward, and we could do with crossing the ball a bit more. Thankfully today, Seb did that.

Bournemouth were, as they have been for large chunks of the last two months, well below-par.

Callum Wilson (£7.4m) hasn’t delivered an FPL attacking return since September and was anonymous, touching the ball on fewer occasions than Ramsdale.

The Cherries’ injury-hit defence were repeatedly carved open and their most-owned player in FPL, Diego Rico (£4.4m), departed at half-time with a minus score having conceded three goals and picked up a yellow card.

Rico was one of a few players namechecked by his manager afterwards as not being fully fit, with Howe saying:

There were players today playing who were not 100 per cent fit either so that’s not to make excuses and to try and shy away from what we’ve delivered, because it hasn’t been good enough. I thought the players gave everything today but we weren’t in the best physical condition to play.”

I think the difference probably from this to previous years is the amount of injuries that we’ve had. The lightness of the squad, I’ve never had a smaller group of players to pick from.

Even some of those players, if you look aren’t 100 per cent fit. Steve Cook, Junior Stanislas, Diego Rico, Simon Francis, Jefferson Lerma are all coming into the game on the back of injuries and haven’t trained. I don’t think we were in the best physical condition today.

Josh King (£6.1m) and Jack Stacey (£4.3m) joined the ever-growing injury list after picking up hamstring strains in Gameweek 20, with Howe saying after full-time on Wednesday:

I think they’re going to be out for about five to six weeks. They’ve got very similar injuries. Both hamstring injuries, both been given the same grade, so a massive, massive blow.

All of which adds up to an appetising fixture for in-form Watford in Gameweek 22, with Bournemouth out of sorts and short of several first-team players.

Members Analysis

Manchester City 2-1 Everton

  • Goals: Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) x2 | Richarlison (£8.0m)
  • Assists: Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m), Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m) | Theo Walcott (£6.2m)
  • Bonus: Jesus x3, Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) x2, Gundogan, Fernandinho (£5.2m) x1

The 11-day Premier League hiatus probably comes at a good time for Manchester City and owners of their Fantasy assets.

Energy levels had clearly been sapped over Christmas, with the Citizens not helped by having to play over 75 minutes with ten men against Wolves last Friday.

Having named the same front six players in his starting XI in Gameweeks 19 and 20, Pep Guardiola finally delivered the rotation we had been fearing on New Year’s Day.

Raheem Sterling (£11.8m), Sergio Aguero (£11.7m) and Bernardo Silva (£7.8m) were all dropped to the bench, while Kyle Walker (£5.8m), City’s most-owned defender in FPL and an ever-present in the Premier League in December, also made way at right-back.

Kevin De Bruyne (£10.6m), he of the lung-busting runs from deep, avoided a benching but looked to be pacing himself after his exertions over the festive period, operating in a more restrained central midfield role – although, as we’ll discuss shortly, that was perhaps as much about Guardiola’s tactical tweak as it was energy preservation.

Sterling came on for an owner-infuriating one-point cameo in stoppage time, to compound the misery for the 23.3% of Fantasy bosses who still retain the winger’s services.

Explaining the rotation and the omission of Ederson (£6.0m) ahead of kick-off, Guardiola said:

Ederson is sick. The other ones… it has been an incredible amount of games. It’s the toughest period – we need fresh legs.

While the personnel changes weren’t too surprising, the change of formation was.

City switched to a 3-4-3 for this match, with wing-backs Joao Cancelo (£5.2m) and Benjamin Mendy (£5.5m) playing either side of centre-halves Rodri (£5.4m), Eric Garcia (£4.5m) and Fernandinho (£5.2m).

De Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan (£5.2m) operated as the two holding midfielders, with Riyad Mahrez (£8.4m) and Phil Foden (£5.1m) flanking Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m) in attack.

We saw very little of De Bruyne in the Everton box as a result, while his distribution was, for once, a little off: the Belgian’s pass completion rate was the worst of any City player in Gameweek 21.

Perhaps De Bruyne most of all needs a breather, which will surely come on Saturday when City entertain Port Vale in the FA Cup.

Asked about his use of a wing-back system, Guardiola said:

We can do it in the future. We make a really good build-up. The five guys – Eric, ‘Dinho, Rodri, Gundogan and Kevin – they are so good with the ball. Everything that happens that starts from there is good. It is better. Riyad received the ball in better conditions. Phil received it in better conditions. It helps us to play better.

City laboured in the first half against Carlo Ancelotti’s side, with a shanked Mahrez effort and a disallowed Foden goal as close as they came to breaking the deadlock.

Everton’s resistance finally caved early in the second half, with Jesus expertly finishing two well-crafted team goals to help City establish what ought to have been a comfortable lead.

A botched pass from Claudio Bravo (£4.8m) led to Richarlison‘s (£8.0m) goal and a nervy final 20 minutes but, in truth, City looked more likely to increase their advantage than concede an equaliser, with Jesus twice denied by Jordan Pickford (£5.3m) and seeing a shot crash back off the upright.

From an Everton point of view, we are hardly likely to be deterred by an away defeat at the Etihad.

The Toffees’ next five matches are appealing (even if the trips to Watford and West Ham perhaps come at the wrong time considering the potential for a continued new manager bounce at both clubs) and they sit near the top of our Season Ticker as a result.

This was Richarlison’s sixth attacking return in the last ten Gameweeks and his advanced role in the Everton set-up is obviously attractive.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.8m) is flourishing under new management, as well: the budget FPL forward has five goals in six matches since Marco Silva departed and, while quiet for long periods, came close to scoring at the Etihad with a header.

Further back, Djibril Sidibe (£5.3m) is enjoying a new lease of life in the post-Silva era.

Whether deployed as a wing-back in a 3-4-3 or a right-winger when the Toffees move to a 4-4-2, the on-loan defender has two assists, two clean sheets and six bonus points in five starts under Duncan Ferguson and Carlo Ancelotti.

Two of those bonus points arrived on New Year’s Day, despite Sidibe not banking an attacking or defensive return.

While the Toffees were not as fluent as they had been at Newcastle in Gameweek 20, chances did arrive: Seamus Coleman (£5.3m) forcing Bravo into an early save, Yerry Mina (£5.3m) nodding wide from a good position and Moise Kean (£6.4m) spectacularly volleying off-target.

An honest Ancelotti said after full-time:

Honestly, Manchester City played a really good game and we stayed in the game until the end. At the end City deserved to win – they were better than us.

We were too shy in the first half, we had the possession but we were not able to find the solutions.

In the second half, we showed good spirit, now we have to look forward for the next game.

On Bernard (£6.4m), who picked up an injury in the warm-up and had to pull out of the starting XI, Ancelotti added:

He was not able to play. He had a contact with Yerry Mina in the warm-up. I hope he will be ready for the next game.

Manchester City (3-4-3): Bravo; Rodrigo, Fernandinho, Eric Garcia; Joao Cancelo, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Mendy; Mahrez, Jesus, (Sterling 90′) Foden (D Silva 82′). 

Everton XI (3-4-3): Pickford; Coleman (Walcott 59′), Mina, Holgate; Sidibe, Sigurdsson (Kean 66′), Delph, Davies, Digne; Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison.

    Sidibe or Soy or go real cheap and play double Liverpool and Lundstram

      Sidibe

      u need leicester defence

  2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which one is preferable ? Double Lei defence or get Maddison(have perriera and vardy)

    1. BNMC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Not keen on triple LEI at the moment

      1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        why not?their fixture look strong

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Soy Madison and Vardy are musts imo, second placed team priced like a 5-6th place team, absolutely flying other than the fixtures against city and Liverpool

        1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          thatd what im thinking. but ofc would be a hard choice for first eleven if i get double Lei and Liv defender with Lundstram

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 2 months ago

              Maybe schmeichel as keeper? Defence will do well but Madison is gold this year and the fixtures are great. If we expect Leicester to keep scoring and vardy to keep scoring there'll be one man assisting most of it, and he can also chip in with goals, on all set pieces

              1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 2 months ago

                think schemichael too expensive although not much difference between soy/evans

        2. BrutalLogiC
          • 8 Years

          That Newcastle defense lucky Vardy out, they were really there for the taking

        3. King Kohli
          • 11 Years

          Soy, Maddison & Vardy best value trio to have from Leicester imo.

            Usually you get knocked out by teams who havent done any changes afte gw1..
            Those random teams just destroy you at some point.

            OR you get knocked out by random wildcard team weeks before DGW.

              Double LIV, one of EVE/LEI, and Lundstram.
              5th defender bench fodder.

                Most players who did not pick Lundstram, will definately not pick him anymore. He is overpriced now.

                It’s equal parts exciting and nerve wracking watching the game

                Exciting at every Liverpool DFK, IFK and especially corners

                Nerve wracking every time Liverpool don’t have possession

                Definitely not good for the heart lol

                  This liverpool.cs are deserved looking by how they keep.position and not allowing much attack from opponent unlike earlier of season

                Think it was Mcburnie who missed a sitter from 2 yards.
                It takes only one instance to blow away those CS.
                On the other hand, Mo looked sharp and could easily have had a hat trick.

                Double attack is more expensive but has wayy more potential imo.

                Game crashed in the run up to a transfer deadline - no one could make transfers, so they gave everyone a free wildcard the next GW

                  I don't remember that at all and was playing back then.

                    Some of the mods will know the exact season - I think it was about 5 years or so - you must remember 🙂

                      4 years, 2 months ago

                      I remember it. Was useful as even though I was unaffected my GW1 score was awful.

                        Yeah, it was the season when Suarez had just joined Liverpool (the previous January).

          Shouldn't have bothered checking but LiveFPL predict a drop from 705k to well over 1m... oh dear, this bloody season!

                  Rashford, Martial, Jimenez, Doherty, KDB, Alli, Pope all blanking and -1 in for Vardy!

                Tempted to delete team and start again next season 😉

                    😆 Don't!! 🙁

                    You are an elite one. I still need the missus hat captain picks please

                      She actually said to me yesterday leave it on him for another game so think I will lol 🙂

                      1. Party time
                          4 years, 2 months ago

                          😆 what a sweet missus 🙂

                          Actually he has a nice fixture this gw but for me I just can't trust him with the armband after last season's disappointment

                          1. jia you
                            • 7 Years
                            4 years, 2 months ago

                            so annoyed with my team I don't care anymore... will just leave it and home I get a monster score and FT saved then I can be a little hopeful again 😉

                                or time to go wild buddy. You could play the wildcard when fixtures looks delicious for a longer run 😉

                  New (good) manager & plum fixtures - surely Richarlison/DCL/Digne going under the FPL radar?

                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Who will you replace? I have Jimenez and Ings who are going nowhere. I did bring in Sidibe though.

                    Wait and see here.

                    Sid looks nice. Went cheap with Holgate 2 weeks ago, slightly regret but will need cash for 3 pool.

                3. BrutalLogiC
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Did Robbo to Taa last week, punished straight away. Serves me right.

                    • 14 Years

                    Get both.

                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Took a -4 to get Ings and Robbo in for Tammy and Tomori. Worked out a treat.

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

                  Aurier, Grealish, Kane -> Holgate, Mane, DCL, for a hit.

                  Yes or No?

                  1. GreennRed
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    No.

                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Do you have to do them all at once?

                    Just get rid of the two Spurs players

                  Maupay to dcl for free?

                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    I’d rather hold I think.

                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Anyone else tempted to yolo wildcard? Ranked 950k and losing a little interest...

                  1. GreennRed
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Nope. Too earlly for me.

                    • 7 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    feeling exactly the same even though my team looks great on paper for next GW but seems I've being saying that for a third of a season now 😉

                  3. BrutalLogiC
                    • 8 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    How many positions would you change?

                  4. The_Fish
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    I think sticking to the plan is the best way to gain ranks.

                  5. Penang Sandman
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Feeling like it. Would give me Jimenez/Ings, TAA, Soy, Rico > Dunk/Carthcart. Fix my GK for Fabianski/Ryan

                7. Lev Yashin
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Looking to save an FT but seeing Alli on the bench makes me want to ship him out.

                  Thoughts?

                  Ryan
                  Soy, Rico, Lund
                  Maddison, KdB, Mané, Traoré
                  Vardy, Rasford, Ings

                  Button, Alli, Tomori, Kelly

                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Alli and Rico to Grealish and Robbo

                    1. Lev Yashin
                      • 11 Years
                      4 years, 2 months ago

                      You see, on paper they're good moves.

                      But I did Grealish -> Traoré last week so a little hesitant to bring him back so soon. And who would you bench then?

                      Time to swallow my pride, I guess.

                        wait a week

                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  In a 3-5-2 , Maupay to Dcl worth a Ft?

                  1. The FPL Units
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Yes if nothing else burning

                  2. King Kohli
                    • 11 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    Yes if you can't stretch to Ings

                    1. lilmessipran
                      • 11 Years
                      4 years, 2 months ago

                      Can't, that's the concern

                      1. lilmessipran
                        • 11 Years
                        4 years, 2 months ago

                        Or save Ft, next gw Hendo + Maupay to Mcarthy + Ings with 2 Ft?

                9. Rash
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Save a ft?

                    Dam, what's your team value like?

                    1. Rash
                      • 6 Years
                      4 years, 2 months ago

                    Looks good to me

                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 2 months ago

                    I’d play Lund over Williams

                10. King Kohli
                  • 11 Years
                  4 years, 2 months ago

                  Which of these do you prefer?

                  A. Salah + Lundy ( Cantwell 8th attacker)
                  B. Son + VVD ( Soy/Lundy rotating for 3rd defender spot & Cantwell 8th attacker)

                  Basically , Salah or VVD for the third pool spot and the team balance that you get with it.

                        • 11 Years
                        4 years, 2 months ago

                        Can't fit Robbo along with Son.
                        Has to be a 9m mid to go with Robbo.

                      Brave to go without Vardy imo.
                      You may not have the funds for a double Liverpool mids.

                      But if you’re set to go without Vardy. That’s fine - could be a masterstroke

                      If any of them get injured, could get weaker, so my idea would be to relax and forget about until next Friday.
