Masuaku set for attacking midfield in Gameweek 22 opener

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.

      A hit for a keeper? You violated one of the primary tenets of FPL, for...why?

    Feel bad for Fabianski. Had him for most of the last season but not this season though.

        Only if he played 60 minutes.

    3. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Last minute Pope to Fanianski for -4

      1. Lebowski85
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That move wouldn't make sense at the best of times. However, as a fellow Fab owner I feel your pain

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I thought I may as well make the transfer now as I'll never get round to it. Fixture swing and double ahead

          1. Fudgy
            • 4 Years

        Anyone who brings in a Hammers keeper just cause they have a dgw deserves it.

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Well they didn't know he was going to get injured, right?

        2. evilfish
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Those pesky individuals. They knew Fabianski was going to get injured. They did it just to screw you, b****rds!

            That's what happens when you look for others to make your transfers though. Always decide for yourself.
