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.

        Go for Ramsdale! Can’t get much worse since I got him before Brighton fixture lol. At least an injury curse would force my hand.

      why?

        Heaton is out for the season. Fabianski seemed like a good replacement. Unless you knew he was going to get injured

        • 12 Years

        Yes if you have to blow another transfer on a keeper next week

      Button, so gotta waste a transfer on a Goalie next week now

    big lund has a shot saved 😯

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

    3. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Shot on target good for the baps though. Keep them ticking Lord.

  8. diesel001
    • 7 Years

    Lundstram shot blocked on the line!

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Should have scored

    2. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On the line? The defender blocked it with the keeper behind him ready to save it anyway.

  9. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lundy almost

  10. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I guess Hendo has the least number of shots saves - hopefully CSs will cover for it

  11. 1zverGGadeM
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lundy close..

  12. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I guess I’m getting in Ryan then

    1. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Ryan, Foster and Leno top 3 in that order. Fabianski was never even in top 5 IMO.

    Fabs only 3% owned

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years

      3% of 7.5 million is quite a lot of teams

    All I need to Vardy to pull his hammy in the 1st minute

    1. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years

      Not sure we should be wishing injuries on players!

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I am not

    2. g40steve

      Sound of pitch forks.

    3. beric
      • 12 Years

      Hes my captain but im really not very happy with myself for doing it

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        I am surprised so many captained him didn’t expect over 50%

  18. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Had nothing to do with 2FTs so did Pope to Fab 😀 cracking start. Now I have to use an FT to get a keeper 😆 lovely game this

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Unlucky

      FPL at its finest.

  19. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Atleast I’ve got McCarthy so I don’t have to transfer out Fabs. Great start to the WC!

  20. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Happy went Ryan over Fab. Fixtures were always not easy and then this.

  21. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lol. I bring Fabianski today literally. Is it serious ? Any chance to play next game?

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I would say no. It was one of those injuries where the player immediately knows something bad happened and gestures to the bench for a sub.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very much doubt he makes next game.

  22. CroatianHammer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So who bought Fabulous Fabianski this week? And do you have a playing keeper on the bench?

    1. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Me. Today. No.

  23. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Interesting that all of the scout guys have gone with KDB over Vardy as C. Thought most would have gone Vardy.

    1. CroatianHammer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They did also note that underlying stats put Sterling as a higher pick but that the finishing wasn't there for him... Well, I rolled that die and gave the (C) to Ravishing Raheem.

  24. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Gonna need a hit now to get to 3 Pool

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      ...unless I get Alisson

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Classic isn't it, then the currently own Pool doubt to start or something ... hits galore for the sake of DGW

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Me too. Crap.

  25. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I never saw the sense in getting Fab in this early for a DGW especially before a tough game away to Sheff Utd tonight.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nah cmon this is so unlucky.

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If only everyone was as smart as you JET5605

    3. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, I was holding off for another week, though it seemed risky to go without him.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Wasnt risky

    4. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Piss off

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

      For me there was no appeal of getting 4 appearance points, at least -2 for 2 goals minimum conceded to LCFC and LFC, and hoping for at least 4 save points to match a SGWer who keeps a CS.

      1. Pieterke30
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        My thinking too

      2. Left Wingers Utd
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This.

    6. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, if we all knew he would get injured like you did we could've avoided it.

  26. OverTinker
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Fabiansky doesn't want to donate anything to Ryans fund?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Martin wants

  27. Camzy

    I have the roguest of captains this week. Mane. Let's see if it pays off!

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I was tempted by Salah actually, then came to my senses and captained DCL.

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Good choice, i was tempted since salah seems to not like scoring when hes away from amfield

    3. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Reading comments on here a lot seen to have gone down this route!

    4. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I passed over Mane and captained Sarr.

  28. diesel001
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lundstram gives away a foul.

  29. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Now I have to blow my FT on a keeper. Completes destroys all Liverpool plans. SHU need to score here to at least console me a bit 🙁

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You could get Allison

  30. Cilly Bonnolly

    Welp. Glad I went for Foster last night.
