Antonio proving West Ham’s chief FPL threat as Dawson bolsters defensive options

West Ham 1-0 Burnley

  • Goals: Michail Antonio (£6.3m)
  • Assists: Pablo Fornals (£6.1m)
  • Bonus points: Antonio x3, Aaron Cresswell x2 (£5.4m), Fornals x2

YOU’RE SO FINE

Michail Antonio (£6.3m) got West Ham’s part in Double Gameweek 19 off to the best possible start as he scored the only goal of a 1-0 win over Burnley.

The Fantasy Premier League forward was signed by 500,000+ managers in the build-up to the weekend’s action and he made an immediate impact.

The sale of Sebastien Haller (£6.1m) to Ajax had all but implied Antonio was fit and ready to lead the Hammers’ line again and his performance against Burnley certainly suggested that was true.

Not only did the striker find the net nine minutes into his first start since Gameweek 10, but he also lasted 90 minutes for only the third Premier League match in 2020/21.

Provided that can continue, Antonio can go on to become West Ham’s greatest threat for their appealing upcoming schedule, rather than Tomas Soucek (£5.3m) who did not muster an effort on goal on Saturday afternoon.

By contrast, Antonio has registered a shot every 30.2 minutes this season, the best of any Hammers asset ahead of meetings with Crystal Palace (away), Liverpool (home), Aston Villa (away), Fulham (away) and Sheffield United (home) – all after their second Double Gameweek 19 match at home to West Bromwich Albion, of course.

Crucially, as things stand, the direct competition for Antonio’s place amounts to none – until David Moyes can find a new striker.

Ademipo Odubeko was an unused substitute against Burnley but the West Ham manager has been unequivocal in his desire for reinforcements in this area.

“I’d like some pace and someone who can run in behind. Because Micky gives us that just now, and if we don’t have him through injury or have to rest him at any time, we would like that type.” – David Moyes

SCORES ON THE DAWS

West Ham’s defence is also looking ripe for investment ahead of those aforementioned appealing fixtures as they recorded a third successive Premier League clean sheet against Burnley.

That is something the Hammers have not achieved since September 2019, their recent improvements in this area helped by Craig Dawson (£4.5m).

The centre-back is yet to concede a single league goal this season, starting and contributing to a shutout in every match since Gameweek 16 and was also present for a clean sheet in the FA Cup win over Stockport County.

“(Dawson) has played four games and kept four clean sheets. If you’re a centre-half and you come into a team it’s like being a striker and having four games with four goals. He should be really pleased with his performance. He’s had to be patient. We’ve got competition for places like Issa Diop waiting to come in and Aaron Cresswell has played as a third centre-back for us as well. The competition is there. They’re setting the standards now. Sometimes you do have to win 1-0 in these games.” – David Moyes

It would appear that Dawson has nailed down his place in the West Ham back-four now, especially with Issa Diop (£4.3m) an unused substitute against Burnley and Fabian Balbuena (£4.4m) self-isolating.

WHUBHA

Whether or not Dawson can offer Fantasy value of his own rather than boosting his colleagues remains to be seen.

The centre-back was a prolific penalty box presence for Watford during Project Restart but is yet to register an effort on goal for West Ham.

Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m) and Aaron Cresswell (£5.4m) have nine attacking returns between them this season so they look the more likely to get returns at the other end of the pitch.

That said, the latter was spared an own goal only by the offside flag on Saturday afternoon and the pair combined for just one key pass.

And those without West Ham defensive coverage, especially for upcoming meetings with Crystal Palace (Gameweek 20), Fulham (Gameweek 23) and Sheffield United (Gameweek 24) could do worse than selecting Dawson for his attractive price.

BOTTLE OF CLARET

In failing to find the net against West Ham, Burnley recorded a 10th blank of the campaign, solidifying them as clean sheet fodder.

No team has failed to score in that many games this season as they registered their 28th 1-0 defeat in the Premier League, the Clarets’ most common scoreline in the competition.

That is encouraging news for Fantasy managers targetting their upcoming opponents such as Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester City between now and Gameweek 22.

West Ham United XI (4-2-3-1): Fabianski; Cresswell, Ogbonna, Dawson, Coufal; Rice, Soucek; Fornals, Benrahma (Lanzini 68′), Bowen (Yarmolenko 82′); Antonio.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; Brady, Westwood, Brownhill, Gudmundsson (McNeil 46′); Wood (Rodriguez 72′), Barnes (Vydra 63′).

    Bringing in Stones for Zouma on Fanteam couldn't have gone much better!

        LiveFPL is down for me, but seems to be about 80 based on the comments on here (assume everyone has been giving scores on a net basis after hits)

          Same for me!

          Yep, working now
          56 pre hits, 52 post hits for top 10k
          FFScout users seem to be doing way above the average based on the comments here e.g. less than a third of the top 10k own Stones whereas nearly everyone on here seems to have him

    2. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Hoped for Stones to have a Laporte-esque DGW and that’s exactly what he’s doing!

      1. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years

        Did you C him?!?

    3. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Stones and Antonio justifying the Lamptey Wood -8.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lovely 🙂 my -12 above already paid off aswell

    4. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Here we go with the “I was going to get Stones in but I got Taylor instead”

      STFU those points is mine

    5. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Casuals win again. If you know anything about football, Cancelo comes in your team before Stones and you probably should have had City defensive cover earlier meaning you’d put Dias in.

      Better to be lucky than good at this game!

      1. OverTinker
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I have both

      2. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lmfao! I had a straight decision between Cancelo and Stones, went Stones all day to partner Dias, so......yeah.

      3. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Why? Cancelo has competition and is .8m more than stones

      4. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I did both of these things but played FH and got Stones due to budget reasons. Lovely to be lucky.

      5. michaelington
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Change you’re name to delusion.
        Cancelo has always been threatened by rotation, especially with peps recent comments.
        Stones and Dias are nailed as ake and Laporte are injured.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Here here!!

      6. Bagheri Arce
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Stones slightly more nailed I would say with current injuries to CBs, no?

      7. Right In The Stanchion
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Stones was nailed and is a goal scoring machine. Cancelo is the desperation choice

      8. Karan14
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Have Dias since 7-8 gameweeks and obviously I got Cancelo over Stones 3-4 weeks ago. What luck today!

      9. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Stones was the most transferred defender this GW. Obviously was going to haul.

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

        Well there was reason to put both Dias and Stones back then.

      11. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Had Dias and brought in Cancelo this GW before Stones. Downgraded other players to afford it because I knew Cancelo is by far the best pick. Couldn’t stand sitting with Stones and Dias watching Cancelo banging in assists.

        1. Cok3y5murf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          No excuses for bringing in Cancelo this week. Didn't consider him on FH because it was obvious he would be benched for one of the two games

          1. Firminooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Would have done the same on FH. My transfers was not for one GW.

      12. ralfb
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Stones is 0.8 cheaper - so not only casuals have him

      13. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Couldn’t afford cancelo or Dias so took a punt

        Works like that sometimes, usually with my rivals, but it’s nice to taste the sweet casual pineapple

      14. Isco Disco
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        You should start using more common sense when playing FPL then you'll start getting points like us too

      15. Dybala10
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cancelo was always a rotation risk so stop being salty. Laporte and Ake being injured meant Stones and Dias would play. It’s not rocket science.

      16. Casual Player
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I dunno about casual. Maybe you were looking for the best DEF under 5.0m say 7-8 GWs ago so pick up Stones when everyone is still saying "BuT hEs NoT nAiLeD"

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

        price does matter

      18. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        If you know anything about FPL you get nailed players in a dgw. Cancelo was due rest

    6. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo to Stones to catch a nice price rise?

      1. Spab
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely. I expect that he'll probably score in every game going forward, probably 2 or 3 per game.

      2. Clintymints
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        cancelo was close But stones will be the one people get now

    7. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks Sir John Stones!!!

    8. as33
      • 8 Years

      Sterling thank you 😀 hope u will start next match 🙂

    9. R.C
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio doubt for next game, lets go!

      Moyes on whether Antonio can manage the quick turnaround. "We will have to look at it, we will see how the players recover in the next couple of days, but we will need to be careful with him. We don't expect him to play every minute in every game, we will do what we can."

        Yes

      Hope Johnstone hauls too

      Salah has let me down badly

        • 14 Years

        Why did you captain him?

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Have you seen his and Liverpool's home record!? Plus I genuinely thought KDB would get benched one of his games and his ceiling is a lot lower than Salahs this season.

          1. TorresMagic™

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Still 1 game to go, you'd think KDB scored 21.

            1. WVA
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Yep Salah has an extra day to recover too or catch COVID....

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        There’s only 4 points in it, could go mental vs Burnley

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah no one has hauled, Salah could still score the most points especially if KDB does get a rest but he didn't look good v United

          1. BenDavies
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            KDB isnt getting rested as Pep brought him off early tonight

      3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      4. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years

        He'll score against Burnley, surely

      8. Mr. O'Connell
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        25 (-4). Logging off now and coming back in a couple of weeks. 10 weeks of climbing up the ranks (even with 6 captain blanks from last 7) undone in one fell swoop. Only saving grace is I've held my chips to waste them at a later point in the season.

        1. Doctor Evil
          • 5 Years

          Same here buddy, got TC and BB in the bank for later, good luck

      11. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        74 for a -4 with 13 left to play and that's with Johnstone & Zouma no shows and a BB consisting of 3 x Leeds fails (2pts each) & Martinez.

    17. Rinseboy

      Do I do Sterling to KDB for a -4? Or keep hold of Sterling now?

      Guess can see how he looks vs Villa but doesn't look like scoring from open play!

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Keep Sterling I don’t have KDB & still managed to go from 700k to 400k, 14 still to play.

      Hello John Stones!

      Took a chance a few weeks back and worked a treat. Brought Holding in and doing decent too

      Great performance today

    19. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling ownership so low that goal may have actually helped rank, in knocking off another Palace defensive point

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Doubt it

      2. Brosstan

        It was an extremely small red arrow.

    20. Tsparkes10

      Gone from regretting my bb to loving having played it 🙂 who’d have thought Lowton to stones (-4) would be my best move all season

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Very good!
        Did Targett to Stones last week and Lowton to Cresswell this week, everything seems to be paying off.
        Very blessed this season

        You would have played Stones anyway.

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldn’t have made the transfer 🙂 would’ve benched Lowton

      3. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Stones isnt one of your real bench players surely.

        My bench boost has been a massive fail

        McCarthy 1p, Lookman 1p, Coufal 6p, Bamford 2p

    21. matiakez
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Annoyingly sold Bamford rather than Kane for Antonio so that I could get Cancelo instead of Stones.

    22. Casual Player
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I didn't believe in curses so captained Salah for the last three GWs plus games 4+5 this DGW.

      It's not going well.

    23. Sharkytect
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      I got 1 point from my man City player.

        Sad feels

      2. ZAMUNDA
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Let's hope he starts next game at least

    24. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Mixed day 77-4 but tc on Salah. Has to be 10 plus next outing or its wasted

    25. ZAMUNDA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Getting Cancelo instead of Stones cost me a drop from 5k to 17k.. Gotta feel like a lump in the throat till this GW ends

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Tough luck, Stones scores 1 a season

        1. ZAMUNDA
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          First red arrow in 9 weeks. There's no safe options this season and especially with the Pep roulette.

        2. BenDavies

      Won’t pretend to be an fpl genius but went with Stones over Cancelo this gw - mostly to have cash in hand but I’ll take the points!

    27. Flair

      Gundogan an underrated here. Time to repeat the trick against Villa
