Antonio earns back-to-back starts for first time since Gameweek 6

Michail Antonio (£6.3m) has started back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since Gameweek 6.

The West Ham forward was named in the line-up to face West Bromwich Albion in Double Gameweek 19 following his recent injury comeback.

Antonio is already on nine points for the round after scoring and taking home all three bonus in Saturday’s win over Burnley.

His 9.1% ownership will be hoping for more returns against the Baggies tonight, who have given up 11 goals in their last three matches – an average of 3.7 per game.

Antonio is joined in the West Ham team by the usual Fantasy Premier League suspects which include Tomas Soucek (£5.3m), Vladimir Coufal (£4.7m) and Aaron Cresswell (£5.4m) while Craig Dawson (£4.5m) keeps Fabian Balbuena (£4.4m) on the bench again.

The big news in West Brom’s camp sees Sam Johnstone (£4.5m) recalled after he missed the win at Wolves following a period of self-isolation.

The Baggies shot-stopper was a key element of many a Double Gameweek 19 Bench Boost squad, so his return is a welcome one for his 2.9% ownership.

Meanwhile, Matheus Pereira (£5.6m) starts for the third Premier League match in a row, having posted a second double-digit haul of the campaign on Saturday.

Robert Snodgrass (£5.7m) is absent from the squad tonight because of an agreement made with West Ham when the player was sold earlier this month.

    ive got antonio and coufal but would happily take a 0-0 - be 23 points from 2 players

  5. NejiHyuuga01

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

    Just chalk the GW off as a 0-0 and move on. Everyone wins besides Soucek owners

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

      They can pretend he got an assist

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Please save this Johnstone

    Cresswell is an incredible player. Straight in my team for the season. Cleans and on all corners and FKs. Gets so far forward too

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Wasn't on this free kick.

        He was on it, just didn't take it.

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

          Shallow and pedantic

  9. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Lanzini FK wastes Antonio assist.

  10. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Yuck

  11. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio assist wasted

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

    Lanzini wasting Antonio A laid on a plate...

    Moyes really has his new Everton.

    Cresswell = Baines
    Coufal = Coleman
    Soucek = Fellaini

    If they can keep Rice then they could be a solid team for a while

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio = Rooney? 😀

      1. Scholes Out For Summer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Maybe Cahill lol

        Moyes didnt really have Wazza for long

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not a bad comparison.. wonder who would win in a fight between Cahill and Muscles Antonio

          1. Scholes Out For Summer
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Cahill's celebration would knock anyone out lol

            1. The Suspended One

              • 10 Years

              Like a friggin kangaroo

            • 6 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            If you add up all the minutes Antonio is fit, it isn't very long either 😉

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

          Yakubu?

            Wow throwback to the og Nigerian Prince

      2. Brosstan

        Cresswell on pens :O

        1. Scholes Out For Summer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Honestly I bet he's up there in the pecking order. West Ham hasnt really gotten any pens for us to know who takes them

      3. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Lol, just said the same thing

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

      Let Cresswell take it ffs

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

      Cresswell not even on direct free kicks... gtfo of my team...

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

        It's so annoying. I remember they didn't let Cresswell take any set pieces for most of the game then gave him one in the 86th minute and he got an assist to win West Ham the game. Not sure why he doesn't take them all the time!!

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

          Referring to the Everton game lol

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

      No attacking returns from Cresswell or Coufal ffs

    5. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's sad that people Soucek is only seen as a header type of player. He can finish with his foot too.
      Taking up some good positions at the edge of the box but no one passes o him.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        All his goals have been headers, no? Sad...

        1. mezza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not his most recent one

        2. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Not against Fulham

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            5 goals, 1 tap in, 4 headers. Don’t think it’s sad or wrong or unfair to make simple observations

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

        If he was on penalties he'd head them in.

      3. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I'd love if he finished with his foot right about now

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

      Cresswell dominating the BPS

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I think you misspelled Ogbonna.

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

          Yeah, beat me to it.

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

          Tf did he do to get +5 in 2 minutes

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

            Completed 30 passes

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

      I should probably resign myself to the thought that Soucek's points will only come when he is rooted to my bench......

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This is the way

    8. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      50% of West Ham's attacks down their left. Good for Cresswell owners.

      But Johnstone the one hoovering up the BAPS at this rate.

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

      A 0-0 would suck here. Would suck less than 1-0 Baggies, but would still suck

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

      Get involved Soucek you lanky lump.... need a goal from you to save my season

      1. jammie26
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        An amusing comment.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        He’s being dominated by Ajayi and Bartley at corners

    11. jammie26
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Turned the game on, think I'll turn it off again.

    12. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      All Benrahma wants to do is shoot from poor positions. Get the ball into a better position for Antonio, my guy.

      1. The Suspended One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I wasn’t feeling the Mahrez comparison earlier, but as the game goes on he sure does remind me more of year 1 Mahrez

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Definitely mahrez there with his selfishness

    13. JBG
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Wtf did Benrahma do there?? Did he try a shot from that angle??

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

      Antonio will decay into a skeleton covered in cobwebs waiting for a Benrahma cross.

    15. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Red arrow if this ends 0-0 and you only own Coufal (unless he gets some baps)!

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

      Contender for most boring half of the season so far

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

        Yay jinx worked (Coufal owner here)

        Still a dire watch

    17. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio close again...

    18. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      As a Johnstone, Coufal, Soucek and Antonio owner, 0-0 might not be so bad a result

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Oh
