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.

    Sam Allardyce is 66 years of age and his hairline is monumental. Puts my 20-something hairline to shame.

    First time in a loooong while I've seen someone get booked for diving.

      Happened the other night in the Wolves match too - Silva.

    Bamford to Antonio

      Newcastle.

    That’ll do Hammers, that’ll do.

    Cheers!

    Feeling bad as a non Antonio owner but at least I own John Stones by luck so I can't complain

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

      Majority of serious mangers will have both.

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

        lmao

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

        Can someone tell this ignorant person the percentage of FPL managers who own both Stones and Antonio? Cause apparently everyone else is non serious

  9. Bennyboy1907
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Took a -8 for DCL and Mitchell to Antonio and stones LOL

    1. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years

      Wow

    2. El Matador

      Not really rocket science that decision mate. Many people did.

    Depressing West Ham game. Cresswell and Soucek blanks and don't own Coufal or Antonio. The game couldn't have gone much worse.

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

      Bad management imo.

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

        Oh shut up clown. How is it?

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

      That's just how it is sometimes, nothing wrong with Cress+Soucek they're good picks

  11. Warby84

    Rudiger is a bargain at 4.5. Hopefully can stay in the starting 11, could be my Robertson replacement to get Kane..

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

      I haven't looked at Chelsea defenders for so long I can't believe Rudiger is only 4.5! Could be an excellent route into their defence.

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I was looking at a replacement up to 4.8.. think he’s the stand out.. We will see tonight..

    Purpose of diving when there is VAR?

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

      A good dive won't be noticed. Any contact and a good dive -> VAR -> pen

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

      Entertainment

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

    Play Adams or Soucek?

  15. Dele
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    76 with 11 to play... below average

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

      How on earth is that below average

  16. drughi
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Could not have gone worse this game, need a vardy party now to save this game week somewhat

  17. umerlfc
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    40 points from the WHU triple up (Antonio + Cresswell + Coufal)

    Take and run away

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

      Well done

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

    Hopefully he can stay fit for a while now.

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

      His main work is done now.

      Won’t be as differential again while fit.

    This GW absolutely stinks. Got about 12pts worth of rage transfers to make after my Liverpool crap inevitably blanks again on Thursday.

  20. GROBARI
    • 3 Years

    Need 1-0 win for Leicester with a winner from Justin to save my chances in the FPL Cup

  21. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    6 points for Coufal. Like he never lost his cs!
    Will take it.

    1. OverTinker
      • 5 Years

        Dues, even.

  23. Ode
    • 6 Years

    Zouma replacements? Thoughts on Shaw?

  24. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Soucek in for -4

    Needn’t have bothered

  25. Make United Great Again

    Bamford > Antonio anyone?

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

      Yes immediately before Newcastle, sounds good.

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      If he's still fit come GW22 that's what I'll be doing.

  26. Right In The Stanchion

    112 with 10 to go. Is 200 possible? Salah captain

    1. djman102
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Salah goes mental and it could happen! Which is fine by me with Salah(c) as well.

    2. KAALI_DAAL
      • 3 Years

      Nop

  27. OPTA FPL

    1. BenDavies
      • 11 Years

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

      I had him for months leading up to the DGW. That was the move to make

  28. djman102
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    70(-8) with hopefully 8 to play. Johnstone brings my BB all the way up to...5 points. If Targett is one of the Covid Villans, hope he's back for Newcastle at least.
