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′).

    Went from 14.7k to 3.7k because of Dias Stones KDB(c), thank you!

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nice one. I bottled a City defender (c) but I expect I would have gone Dias. Brave move well deserved.

      1. Make Arrows Green Again
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry I read Stones (c) but great result regardless

          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers mate, pure luck as I couldn’t afford Cancelo so I went to Stones (already owned Dias), gotta enjoy these moments when they come along!

          1. Make Arrows Green Again
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I'm getting Cancelo for the triple up next week 🙂

    63 from a TC. This guy nailed it. And more points to come.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Fair play to him.

    2. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      ‘Nailed it’ is has given up on the season and just yolo’ing

    3. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      TBF it's 21 points from a TC, which is amazing but shows what a random chip TC is. Another fixture to go though.

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      He looks quite modest as well...

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

    I’ve got John stones and Johnstone on my bb... basically captained Stones

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Not really your bench boost though is it?

    2. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Your bench boost is 3 Leeds players and Johnstone though.

  5. Neves say Neves
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    McCarthy + Robbo + Taylor + Adams -> Martinez + Stones + Chilwell + Watkins -12 going surprisingly well so far!

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

      Very similar here but Dias and Antonio over Chillwell and Watkins 🙂 great stuff

      1. Neves say Neves
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Ahh I really wanted Antonio but I could't bring my self to get triple West Ham, got Dias already! Well done matey

  6. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Salah cappers do we have any hope of a big haul on Thursday?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have an awful feeling that Liverpool are going to absolutely batter Burnley

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

      Should get at least one return imo.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I think Mo will come good.

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

      As s tc-er id take a jammy pen cleanie 11 pointer and live with 14 points all in

    5. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I fear he will do well

    6. TheDragon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nope - it’s the 5th and final game under the witch doctor spell

  7. Paqueta Rice
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Kane and Son owners, holding through the next 5 ? Pretty tough fixtures..

    1. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Season keepers for me

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Thinking of going 4 at the back though

        1. Gross Blank Point
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          442 or 451 still fits them in. Like I say the points table doesn't lie over the season and they're still both top, for me that's a reason to keep, no matter the fixtures.
          Others play totally different mind you

  8. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Stones owned 10% overall - Hell yeah!!
    Stones owned 55% in my ML - Oh, goddamn it!!

    1. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      yeah it's insane

      I'm 4th in my ML and the top 3 all have his plus either Dias or Gundogan...

      Green arrow but falling behind them

  9. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    KDB or Bruno captain for gw20?

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

      What's the rush? Bruno might be suspended etc.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno for me as of now.

    3. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bruno

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

      Rashford ... just to be different

  10. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I captained KDB, but still think Salah has a decent chance if atleast matching him this week

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

      Hopefully, depends on how Villa have got through the break.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I hope so.

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

      Not convinced if again Henderson's playing CB

  11. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Not very exciting I know but ...

    Lowton to

    A Mitchell
    B a Fulham defender so I can start planning for the Fulham extra fixtures

    Thanks

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

      no one will plan with Fulham defender, just keep Lowton

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers.

  12. R.C

    John Stones (£5.0m) gets a season-high haul for a defender of 21 points

    The most a defender has scored is 27, a record held jointly by Steve Watson (2003) and John Arne Riise (2005)

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Was the scoring system similar back then ?

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yes except for how the bonuses were rewarded

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years

          Cheers.

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

        Steve Bruce captain in 91-92

  13. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    John Stomes got more attacking retuens today than joao "attacking threat" cancelo has managed in his entire premier league career

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      John stones scored a goal after 5 years in the PL

    Glad next deadline not till 26th! Time for a careful review of what's going on! All been a bit breathless recently!

    1. Hybrid.power

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

      Nice we have games to watch all the way until the 23rd too and it isn't a break due to a pointless international break

    4. The Riders of Mohan
      • 9 Years

      This

  15. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Considering after the double if all fit doing Salah + Bamford to Son + Martial. Thoughts

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

  16. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years

    Let's hope Antonio plays on Tuesday

  17. TorresMagic™

    Ronka had a mixed defence week so far. A 21 and a -2 in his back 3

  19. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    With KDB on 7 but a decent Villa side to play and Salah on 3, with Burnley, which captainers are in a better position would you say?

    1. Nightcrawler
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      KDB becuase he isnt under a zamdian spell

      1. Nightcrawler
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Zambian*

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Lol I keep hearing about this, was it a poster on here or twitter ?

          1. Botman and Robben
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            It was a poster on here. Said Mo would blank in the next 5 games.

            1. Nightcrawler
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              And 4/5 are done. Burnley last one

            2. OverTinker
              • 5 Years

              • 10 Years

              He will break it with a hatty so hold steady

    2. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      KDB given Villa covid situation

    3. Flair

      Points in the bank >

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Impossible to tell. Each has about the same chance of outscoring the other over the 2 games considering the opposition.

    5. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      A nNck Pope masterclass will keep Salah at bay.

  20. Don Kloppeone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Tonight restored my desire to carry on playing. Thank you Stones and Dias for making up for not having KDB (for now!)

    At least part of my over-the-top hit has paid off!

    Forster > Johnstone (Fail)
    Kane > Vardy (-7 so far)
    Adams > Antonio (+7 so far)
    KWP > Stones (+20 so far)
    -12 hit
    So far +8pts up overall.

    121k > 79k so far. Let’s see what happens!

    1. A. PRISE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Johnstone might play next game, don't lose hope

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Didn’t know that was a possibility - assumed with isolation period etc he was out

        1. A. PRISE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Nope. He is training (since Friday). So he might actually start. Not certain of course.

      Giving the answer now

      It was Mina vs watford

      Two goals in 1st half injury time

        Good one You win

        Good question. Would never have got that! Certainly not the same excitement on here when Mina got his goals

      3. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Great question.

  23. Rolls-Royce

    Wow. Never thought Stones had that in him! Thank you.

    is it right that Dias got an assist today for a saved shot but Chilwell didn't yesterday for the same thing?

    this is what i have read, i didnt see the Chelsea game though..

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

      Totally different

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

      Chillwells wasnt a save tho. It was a cross that keeper palmed straight into the danger area

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Chillwell didn’t shoot he crossed and the keeper slapped it back into danger. Dias actually shot.

    4. NejiHyuuga01
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It was a rebound so counts as an assist. But in my opinion Chilwell's should count too. So many assists have been given from deflected crosses

    5. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      You read that from folk who don’t understand the basic rules of fpl

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

      Chilwell was a cross so no.

  25. Rolls-Royce

    *starts checking if my rivals own Stones*

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

      Of course they own him. He is cheap. Just stupid idiots like me own Cancelo and Dias.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Call me stupid or an idiot but not both, that’s just harsh.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Top of ML does.... damn

  26. bitars
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cancelo to Stones if nothing else is wrong should be a good move?

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn’t

    2. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely not

    3. elwardio
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      In nothing else save transfer. Next double in 23 most likely Choo choo all aboard

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No ... knee jerky ... hold transfer

    5. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      People calling Cancelo a rotation risk but he’s played every minute of the previous 7 matches. Think he got a well earned rest and will be outscoring Stones and Dias over coming matches

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

      Not now- Cancelo will haul soon so stick with him

  27. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years

    Cancelo will get his 21 pointer next week.

    1. mezza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Don’t chase points - Cancelo will get his haul soon

        Reply fail to above

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

      Surely he can do, but he is a bigger rotation risk.

      1. elwardio
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Slightly bigger, yes. There won’t be much in it though when la Porte and ake fit. Cancelo generally has more threat/creativity though so I would think they score similar over a whole season, so not worth wasting a sideways transfer IMO

  28. R.C
    • 6 Years

    Just 8 points separates Top 10.. Big 6 now Big 10?

  29. Camzy

    Saw someone who benched Stones. How bad must that hurt? All his players have already started too so he's guaranteed to not make the field.

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

      No sympathy. You play your City players this week end of

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Didn't say he was smart!

      2. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Having left Ramsdale, Holding and AWB on my bench last week, I have a little sympathy but who on earth is in his team that’s keeping guaranteed 12+ on his bench?

    2. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Well then why is he even playing this game then.. why would u bench a dgw player.

    3. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      That is all his/her fault. You don't bench a City player on a DGW with good fixtures.

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

      Sympathy yes, but this is self inflicted

  30. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Do Werner & R.James start vs Leicester?

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I doubt it

      James isn't match fit and Werner is having a nightmare of a time, his confidence is completely shot.
