Bowen and Fornals disappoint as Benrahma emerges at West Ham

  • Assists: Saïd Benrahma (£6.0m)
  • Penalty saves: Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m)

TAKE A BOWEN

Most of West Ham’s attacking assets disappointed in their first match of an appealing fixture run as they beat Fulham 1-0 on Saturday evening.

Fantasy Premier League managers have been waiting for the Gameweek 8 fixture swing for some time, even a Michail Antonio (£6.2m) injury not putting off a wave of investment.

Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.4m) picked up roughly 150,000 new owners between them but neither one particularly impressed even against Fulham’s poor defence.

Of the two, it was Bowen who came the closest to an attacking return, his powerful first-half effort from the edge of the box deflected and turned over by Alphonse Areola (£4.5m).

After that, the former Hull man did rack up a few more shots on goal, almost all of them from outside of the box. And, apart from his speculative efforts, Bowen struggled to get into the game.

The local press has somewhat critical of his performances recently, highlighting that they have been on the decline since the Gameweek 4 3-0 win at Leicester.

Meanwhile, the closest Fornals’ came to an attacking return was in the first half when he got round the back of left-back Antonee Robinson (£4.4m) and his cross was deflected into the path of Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) who fired a close-range effort straight at Areola.

Neither player was allowed to finish the game either, replaced by Saïd Benrahma (£6.0m) and Manuel Lanzini (£6.4m) in the 72nd minute.

While Bowen and Fornals’ owners are certainly likely to hold these assets for a plum Gameweek 9 trip to Sheffield United, who are still without a clean sheet this season, the fact that they looked so poor even against Fulham may be enough to put off further investment despite the favourable fixtures. 

“I think it says a lot about the players, it is a change. We are not going to try and be flakey to lose the game, we are going to stick at it and try to not lose. I wouldn’t say it was ugly, we dominated the ball in the opening ten or 15 minutes we had chances but the last 20 we tried too. What we didn’t have was the ability to beat somebody until (after the substitutions).” – David Moyes

LATE D-RAHMA

However, it was not all doom and gloom for West Ham’s attackers against Fulham.

Tomas Souček (£4.9m) finally delivered on his positive underlying statistics and got his first goal of the campaign.

Unsurprisingly, the midfielder’s penalty area presence characterised his latest performance, putting him in the right place at the right time to slot past Areola in the closing stages.

Those looking to invest in West Ham’s fixtures should also have Benrahma on their minds too, as it was his persistent determination that breathed new life into the Hammers in the last 20 minutes – and he got the assist for the winner too.

Admittedly, it was Benrahma who gave away a stoppage-time penalty for a foul on Tom Cairney (£5.3m) but Moyes did not seem concerned about that at full-time.

All things considered, such a display may convince him to start Benrahma against Sheffield United, which could see one of Bowen or Fornals drop out of the side, although it is hard to predict that with any degree of certainty. Either way, Benrahma’s emergence is sure to be a little frustrating for Fantasy managers assessing who the most nailed-on starters in the West Ham midfield are outside of Souček.

“(Asked about Benrahma’s impact): I hope you have seen Fornals and Bowen’s class as well in recent weeks so we have got really good competition in those positions. Saïd is a really good player, I have had lots of players from the Championship that I don’t expect too much from too quickly. He had an impact in both boxes but thankfully it went well for us.” – David Moyes

HAMMER BLOW

There was mixed news for West Ham’s defensive potential in their 1-0 win over Fulham.

A third clean sheet of the season was, of course, welcome news for the 120,000+ managers who signed Aaron Cresswell (£5.1m), who was unfortunate not to come away with attacking returns on Saturday.

Fabian Balbuena (£4.4m) and Haller both saw efforts either saved or hit the crossbar from Cresswell’s corners in the opening exchange, and the left centre-back also had an effort denied by Areola too.

It was Vladimir Coufal (£4.5m) who top-scored among the FPL defenders though, taking home two bonus points for eight points. He now has 25 from five appearances now, averaging five points per game.

A reason for those extras against Fulham seems to have been his persistence in the cross, although the quality of his delivery did not live up to Cresswell’s, something even Moyes inferred at full-time.

“One small thing, I think our crossing tonight was terrible and our ability to get into positions like that, we didn’t do well enough. We either overhit it or hit the font man and that was one aspect but we thought we would have more of the ball, it panned out that way later in the game and we didn’t quite pass the ball well through the lines enough.” – David Moyes

As for long-term clean sheet potential, it was somewhat alarming to witness West Ham’s game management in the closing stages, especially after going 1-0 up.

They struggled to handle the driving runs of substitute Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.9m) and looked likely to concede under Fulham’s attacking pressure. Of course, they would have done were it not for the fortuitous circumstances of Ademola Lookman‘s (£5.0m) awful penalty.

Meanwhile, Moyes will now be sweating on the fitness of Angelo Ogbonna (£4.9m), who picked up a muscle injury in the second half and has been the ever-present lynchpin in West Ham’s defence and could be missed sorely if his absence proves to be a long-term one.

“We’re a little bit worried about Angelo. Because it was a challenge in the box where I don’t think the player should have made the challenge on the goalkeeper and it has opened his groin up a bit so we’ll get him scanned and see what the outcome is.” – David Moyes

West Ham United XI (3-4-2-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna (Diop 63′), Balbuena; Masuaku, Souček, Rice, Coufal; Fornals (Benrahma 72′), Bowen (Lanzini 72′); Haller.

Fulham XI (4-2-3-1): Areola; A Robinson, Adarabioyo, Andersen, Aina; Reed, Zambo Anguissa (Cavaleiro 90+3′); Lookman, Cairney, De Cordova-Reid (Loftus-Cheek 83′); Mitrović.

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

      Targett because of price, as every 0.1 matters this season, even if it doesn't look that way in your team right now

      But for pure points? Mings

    2. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years

      If you can't choose between them the answer is you should probably own both

  4. J to the T
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    How’s this wild card draft? Too much Villa?

    McCarthy Forster
    Chilwell Targett Coufal Lamptey Kilman
    KdB Salah Bruno Grealish Soucek
    DCL Watkins Richarlison

    1. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good... Not enough villa 😉

      I would get Soucek out and get 4.5 instead because he will sit on the bench anyway most of The Time and gets you out of The benching headache.. mental health after all is the most important thing

      1. J to the T
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

    Current team is such

    Martinez / Button

    Chilwell / Coufal / Targett / Kilman / Struijk

    Salah / Bruno / Son / Rodriguez / Grealish

    Kane / DCL / Brewster

    0.1m ITB. Worth changing Son to Ziyech or roll it? Spurs have looked less potent the last few weeks from whatI've we

      Wow is this team for real? What is your rank?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Who is your second keeper? Is it Steer? This 9.5/10 team, so close to perfection

        1. sandman58
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yes...Steer

        2. sandman58
          • 5 Years

          Seeking that 0.5 for perfection lol

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Sell steer in order to be able to get 3 Villa. Will you keep Son and Kane?

            1. sandman58
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Atm i think so
              Don't fancy the replacements on offer

        3. FPL Daniel
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Kane to Richarlison and save the second. Soon upgrade him to Vardy. Time for some fun and playing the fixtures

          1. sandman58
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Lol....have DCL
            Kane a season keeper
            Cert to win golden boot

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tbh there's is nothing pressing in your team. Use 1FT to transfer out Son or Kane and roll the 2nd FT

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This

      2. sandman58
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Really....form over fixtures suggest otherwise
        City don't look good at all for replacements

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          If you're dead set in keeping then burn the FT

    Just ran KdB and Sterling through RMT as potential Son replacements and Sterling came out on top. A significant improvement on Son as well. Tempted.

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Shame he can’t finish his dinner though, needs 10 chances to score 1 goal

      1. shirtless
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fair! Just a bit bored with KdB though!

  12. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Own Rashford & Stering already,

    Money in the bank available to bring in KDB for Son.

    But would you bring in Bruno for a couple of weeks first?

    A. Bruno
    B. KDB

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one, both teams are inconsistent. Seems like Bruno is the form player out of the two but KDB has the fixtures

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

        Fixtures generate form as well, best option I guess is to bring in Bruno for West Brom and then straight to KDB the following week

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

          That said I don't think I could trust owning 2 united assets

    2. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Thats what im debating as well...

  13. FPL-Albion
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son and Trent to Cancelo and KDB

    Wait in case of injuries/covid. Or do now because of price changes?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm thinking of doing the cancelo move soon. TAA will probably drop 2-3 times before deadline. Other move can wait

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

      No harm in moving Trent on, but wait on Son.

      1. FPL-Albion
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Good idea.
        Cancelo or Dias the better pick?

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't go for a City defender myself but if you want one, Dias is more secured of a start imo.

      Would do the TAA to Dias when the price is about to change. Would wait on Son to KdB.

    Sorry guys, looks like I’m losing Trent finally to Chilwell!

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Did it yesterday before the price rise.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yes was tempted, but waited just in case, won’t be taking a hit either way so just money ITB for GW10

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah. For me, it was making money for KdB in GW 10. Still need 0.2m. Would probably have to sell Ryan, KWP or DCL.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            KWP to Kilman could work if you don’t have him

            1. WE GO FOR IT
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Yeah, that was my initial thought. But he might be rotated/lose spot to Saiss.

              1. Big boy Bowen
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Worth the risk for KdB I guess!

    Any United fans around??Anyone have any information about Rashford?? Do we think he’s back for West Brom??

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

      Nobody can know that now...monitor when he returns to trainng...and if it’s close, do they really need to risk him for that fixture?

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

        They don't need to, and that's the thing for Rash owners

        Martial LW, Cavani ST and Greenwood/Mata RW can win the game

      2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Certainly it mate I wouldn’t have thought, Martial back now and Cavani getting his first goal, Mata has done well this season when he’s played too, and I think Greenwood was out this weekend due too an illness, so plenty of options for sure

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years

      Martial brace incoming haha

    Thoughts on
    Kane and Foden to Watkins and Bruno for a -4 this week?

    Gets me set up to do Son to KDB the following week.

    Martinez
    Chilwell Lamptey Robbo
    Salah Son Grealish Foden Ziyech
    Kane DCL
    Steer Saiss Mitchell Brewster

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Wouldn't remove Kane

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

      Not massively keen on losing Kane for a hit. Do you really think he can’t get at that back line or get a pen? Just move Foden on

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        not sure who to replace Foden with in that price range? Plus want to get KDB etc

        1. WE GO FOR IT
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          How much do you have itb?

  17. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best 3 premiums to own for next games between:
    A) Salah
    B) KDB
    C) Fernandes
    D) Vardy

    1. FPL-Albion
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A B C for me

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I intend having all four.

    3. Tonyawesome69

      ABC

    4. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A, B, C

  18. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Do we think Kane could beat Salah’s total points in a season record?

    At his current rate he’s on for about 350

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Or Son I guess!

    2. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You won't see those kind of posts after the next five games.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        All he needs is a pen in a couple though

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Highly unlikely.

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I think if he stays fit he has a hell of a chance, especially with assists in his repertoire now

        1. AuFeld
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ha. Look at the advantages Salah had for the 17/18 season that Kane doesn't have, an extra point per goal and an extra point per cs. That's an extra 47 points that Salah had just because of his position and LIV defense.

    4. Firmino
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Are you going to sell Kane or Son?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not this week, jury is still out in GW10...I’ll definitely be keeping Kane, Son is the one I may change.

        I actually fancy them scoring a few against City

  19. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If a player in your team rises in price, will that mean that you will have more money in the bank to complete certain transfers? I.e if Grealish rises in price will I have 0.8 m in the bank instead of 0.7?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Only if you sell said player, and you only get 50% of the rise, but 100% or any losses

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        *of any losses

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Money is locked into the player, you will only get the gain when you transfer him out

      1. Will J 256
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Cool thanks for explaining that!

  20. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Clever or not, I am planning Saiss to Targett and Son to Bruno for -4. The main risk is covid and Bruno injury and I should probably wait but it will cost .2 tv and that would hurt my future transfers. The way this season is going, I need to take calculated risks. What is Son's record against MCI?

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      5 G 1 A in 8 games.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Oops...

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Thx

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Son can do well against City if they play a high line and Spurs hit them on the break. But if you really want Bruno, I'd make the moves. It's a risk worth taking imo.

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That is the fear tbh. On the other hand Bruno is captainable, has higher ceiling and MCI unlikely to be capitulated. Yet these can be famous last words. Maybe I will bet a little on Son scoring. And I have still Kane who may pass to him or score a pen.

    3. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Also at 4.5 Targett is probably good player to have for the future dgw and since I have both Kane and Son atm, I don't think I will ever have time ditch Saiss without a hit. This fixture change demands too many transfers imo.

  21. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Who should be sold(this week or maybe next)

    A. Robbo
    B. Son
    C. Kane

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I’d only keep one Spurs asset. It pushed I’d lose B

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Robbo

    3. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      C

  22. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Would you get rid of Son for Ziyech?

    1. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      For Ziyech I don't know... For Bruno yes.

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I just did. See below( partly to afford Foden to Grealish)

    3. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on rest of your midfield.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Probably no

    5. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I doubt it. And since I have been selling and buying Son in and out and don't seem to learn anything from the results, he is going to haul vs MCI 😉

  23. Iceball

    Best Trent replacement?
    Already have Chilwell!
    Thinking Dias or Cancelo?

    1. Garam MOSALAH
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo prob

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Cancelo or Cresswell

  26. Garam MOSALAH
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    On WC who will you pick:
    1GK 2Defs

    A) Martinez
    B)McCarthy

    1) Cancelo
    2) Coufal
    3) Lamptey
    4) Targett
    5) KWP

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A, 2 and 4.

      1. Garam MOSALAH
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Your 2nd preference over Targett as Martinez has covered WHU ?

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          True mate. I’d go Cancelo.

  27. Carefree Crew
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Is Scott Dann nailed? (Cahill Sakho)
    Good few fixtures & only £4.4m enabler.

    Old school goal threat noticed he scored at the weekend & had the Captain Armand. (In reality, not my FPL obviously.)

  28. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Will prices ever get locked over the international break?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

  29. AdamJ91
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    With having Martinez, Steer & Watkins already from Villa would probably need to take a -4 to swap Steer > Button to get Grealish in.

    Worth the hit?

    1. FPL-Albion
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It'll be worth it in the long term. But yo do risk going without a GK in case something happens to Martinez.

    3. AuFeld
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes.

    4. kime67
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      think you need grealish for those fixtures

  30. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Best Foden replacement up to 7.4?

    A - Zaha
    B - Jota
    C - Bowen
    D - Fornals
    E - Barkley?

    Any better suggestions?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You prob already have Grealish. None of those options are jumping out to me. Eze could be a good punt. Looked great and on set pieces

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        cheers Tony yes I do. Never considered Eze will take a look
