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.

    Roberto on the bench thinking he would never do anything like that

    Martin bandwagon derailed.

    Was that Balbuena or Martin mistake? Hard to tell...

      I think balb made sure it looked like the keepers

    2. No Professionals

      Martin 100%

        It was more of a wish than a fact.

        No goal or assist in 60 mins. I want my money back.

    Us Flappy owners will be ok, Moyes will play him with one good leg rather than the other clowns

    Is this the Premier league? That goal 😆

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      If you discount the defenders pass, the shot and the attempted ave it was pretty good

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        *save

        Fleck the only one coming out with credit

    McBurnie almost missed, went straight under the keeper 😀

  10. Zladan

    Matt Ryan should’ve been donating $500 there.

    Martin doing his best not to save that one.

    1. Rainer

      Martin hates the Aussies confirmed.

    2. Fred54

      Daily Fail: Martin is a vile kangaroo killer.

    Justice for flappy owners who just brought him in.

    Looks to me that defenders against W.Ham will have a field day. 0 attacking threat

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Double Liverpool and Leicester defence locked in

    2. Hughes the Daddy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Especially when they have their best player on the bench

        If that pairing was a day of the week, it would be a Sunday evening, hungover, and your homework wasn't done

    Mousset coming on.

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Mousset cult awoken.

  17. Ask Yourself

    So desperate for Antonio back. Anderson just isn’t a striker and Lanzini isn’t a footballer anymore, barely noticeable on the pitch. I Moyes hasn’t had much time but it’s insanely obvious how much more influential Fornals is than lanzini.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Fornals should have started. Very strange

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

        Very. I think Moyes will think he has more guarantee of knowing what he’ll get from Lanzini that Fornals since he hasn’t had much time. Evidently hasn’t watched Lanzini ever since he left the club.

    So, Roberto in goal for the DGW then!

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      It'd be 3-0 if Roberto was in goal right now.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      For you maybe!

    Aw you’ve gotta be effing with me Fabianski 😆 🙁 just in to see that! Bugger. That’s one transfer required already. Who to get?

    1. Pras (FPL)

      This place was getting too positive. Welcome back.

          • 12 Years

          Ryan seems the best option I think. Foster, McCarthy seem to be transfers I’d regret later.
