Masuaku set for attacking midfield in Gameweek 22 opener

1,581 Comments

David Moyes has re-opened the door to an avenue once thought firmly closed.

Fantasy Premier League defender Arthur Masuaku (£4.2m) looks set for a return to the attacking midfield role he played during Moyes’ first spell as the West Ham manager.

He has been named in the same side as Aaron Cresswell (£4.7m) while attacking midfielders Robert Snodgrass (£5.2m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) are both on the bench.

With the Hammers preparing for two fixtures in Double Gameweek 24, all eyes will be on Masuaku tonight.

Meanwhile, there is just one change to the Sheffield United side that lost at Liverpool.

Lys Mousset (£4.8m) drops to the bench so that Oli McBurnie (£5.7m) can star alongside David McGoldrick (£5.4m) up-front.

That means key Fantasy assets such as John Lundstram (£5.1m) and Dean Henderson (£4.9m) keep their places in the starting line-up.

Sheffield United XI: D Henderson; O’Connell, Egan, Basham; Stevens, Fleck, Norwood, Lundstram, Baldock; McBurnie, McGoldrick.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski; Cresswell, Balbuena, Ogbonna, Zabaleta; Noble, Rice; Masuaku, Lanzini, Anderson; Haller.

    Need to do Kelly/Kiko, Sterling -> 3.9, Mane TODAY to avoid being out priced with Mane rising. Otherwise will need to lose Maddison vs WHU at home for GW24 to afford Mane.

    Pull the trigger today and pray for no injuries?

        There’s more than one tune to make a chant to.

        That was already recycled from the He does what he wants, which was recycled from the “That Boy Ronaldo” chant. Which in turn was probably recycled...

            Ahh yeah the 17pt VC week for many! that was a bad week saved by Lundstram for me! I bought Haller and somehow the VC ended up on him and not KDB. The 17 points that got away from me for no reason other than sloppiness by me.

              Nonsensically the 17 point week grates more than the 1 point week.

              Felt like a huge advantage lost - more especially as I didn’t even get Lund off the bench
