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.

    Antonio off pens 🙁

    Fail DGW pick.

  2. OverTinker

    Would be lucky to get even a single bap for Coufal at this rate

    Antonio tried to give us the Soucek assist we should have had from the pen there.

    antonio subbed

  5. diesel001

    Soucek not getting in the box now. Playing like a 3rd CB

  6. Rainer

    3 years, 2 months ago

    Off the pitch too, FFS.

    Useless Antonio...

    Why are teams that I have represented in my team always disadvantaged by the referee? Clearest offside goal by Brom and big pen not given...
    I take it personally now.

    DGW Hero goes off

    COME ON FABIANSKI, JUST ONE MORE SAVE, IS THAT SUCH A BIG ASK?!?

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

    Bowen is a pretty good player

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Indeed

  11. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Was gonna FH for x3 West Ham defense Werner and Vardy very happy I saved it again

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

      Why on earth would you FH 3 West Ham defence when you had City defensive assets + Antonio and/or Soucek? (granted the latter didn't pay off, but was still a great pick for that price) 2 defenders, sure.

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

    Thank goodness he’s subbed. May bring him in for utter failure Wilson. We all know who I’m talking about 🙂

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

      I would say he is pretty much essential at this price point

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

      It's easy to be stubborn and not bring someone in when you miss a haul, but he's looking like the best value emerging striker, so you should hop on board when you can.

  13. Mr. Chimes
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    What I would give for Salah(c) to return something

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      2 x 2 be OK?

      1. Mr. Chimes
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        One goal

  14. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Those who doubted Antonio wouldn’t play both games in full the real winners.

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

    Wrap him in cotton wool moyes

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

    Im going to bring in Antonio just so he gets injured again. One of those players its just tortuous not to own and see his smug jammy owners celebrating undeservedly.

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

      You are making this is much more enjoyable; thank you!

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

        Because Im a man of integrity unlike most of the cowards on here who either dont say anything at all until after the fact or disappear entirely for days until they hope people forgot what they said

  18. 2OLEgend
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Zouma - > Mitchell?

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

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

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah

      • 3 Years

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

      Anyone with John Stones in their team can call this gw a win.

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

        Indeed, Stones takes all the Antonio pain right away

  20. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

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

          Martinez still 2 games to be a hero. You were v unluncky with Zouma btw.

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

      I considered it, would have got 6 😆

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

      Yeah but was the BB a daft one with like Kane and the likes?

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

        No I started son and kane as I thought they'd score well. it has stones though but I had him at 8 pts max and thought Bamford would outscore him.

        Dallas last sub.

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

          Ahh right I get ya, super stones incredible! So glad I brought him in, well done lad!

    4. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years

      Stones is on your bench. Name him.

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

    • 6 Years

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Sold. As long as the assist is not to Vardy

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

      Chelsea defo scoring tonight, will need attacking returns from him

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

    Coufal baps?

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

      Looking like just the 1

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

        That's 1 more than I thought he would get. Thought Antonio, Perreira and Bowen would clean up.

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

      1
      If you can type that why can’t you just click the game ?

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

      1 looks certain. May get 2 but unlikely.

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

      1 but 3 for Antonio!

  24. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Antonio my man. Knew you were worth the transfer

  25. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Soucek is the biggest DGW let down!!!

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ah seriously

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

      try having Zouma

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

      Don't mind, don't mind. Saw someone TC him, so can't drive anything than laugh now

    4. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have him and I am happy. Too many own him.

    5. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yea expected like 10 pts from him

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

      I was almost selling Grealish for a hit for Soucek.

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

      he's 5m and if you've owned him for a while then you're happy with him.

    8. McSauce
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Even 1 assist and the odd bonus would have been ok but 4 points....

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

    Get the f out of my team you German Morata

    1. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years

      And who's that

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

        i hope he doesnt still own werner

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

          Got him this week. Worst decision of this season.

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

            That's horrific decision-making. I'm a Chelsea fan and I wouldn't go near him. The guy is shot of all confidence.

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

          Omg why do people own Werner still? Even his manager wants to drop him as soon as he can lol.

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