Is Michail Antonio a fixture-proof pick in FPL?

Michail Antonio (£8.0m) looks set to become the most-selected forward in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) in the run-up to Gameweek 8, with Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.6m) hemorrhaging owners.

Antonio is also the highest-scoring player in his position, averaging 8.2 points per match.

West Ham United sit second-bottom of our Season Ticker for fixture difficulty over the next eight Gameweeks, however:

With that in mind, it’s worth a look at Antonio’s track record against the so-called ‘bigger’ clubs to see how he traditionally fares when the schedules get trickier.

We’re just examining Antonio during David Moyes’ second spell in east London here, which gives us not far off two years’ worth of data. It is only under his current boss that he has carved out a career as a bona fide centre-forward, having previously operated as everything from a right-back to a left-winger under former head coaches.

Our thanks go to TopMarx for his dredging of the historic data for this piece.

ANTONIO v THE ‘BIG SIX’

Goals6Blanks7 (50%)Appearances14
Assists310 Points+1 (7%)Total Points67
Bonus9Points per Match4.79

Antonio’s record against the traditional Premier League elite in the second coming of Moyes is very decent indeed, with nine attacking returns in 14 appearances.

It’s even better when we look at his last 10 run-outs, a period that coincides with West Ham’s upturn in form at the back-end of 2019/20.

In those games, Antonio averages 6.0 points per match and has only blanked on three occasions.

The West Ham striker scored against Manchester City home and away last season and produced a 12-point haul in his previous meeting with Chelsea, although has yet to face the meaner, Thomas Tuchel incarnation of the Blues.

        Agree hah. Probably miss fpl too much and hate international break

        1. Holmes

          One more to come after GW11 and then we are set for roller coaster ride from GW12 to GW21.

      I like this team because it’s different from most in a few ways so it seems more interesting.

      Hope it works out, I’d stick with what you got too.

    WC team, which combo for the remaining three spots?

    Ramsdale Foster
    TAA Rüdi Duffy Livra ____
    Salah Raphinha Mbeumo ____ ____
    Lukaku Vardy Antonio

    A) Cancelo, ESR, Brownhill
    B) Laporte, Doucoure, Douglas Luiz?

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      May I suggest Cancelo, Brownhill, D. Luiz, Henry as an option with one of Livramento and Henry rotating in 4-3-3.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Out of those options, A.

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

      Cancelo for sure.
      If you do Rudiger > Chilwell can you get Doucoure and Luiz/Brownhill?

      Think with Livra and Duffy you’ve got great cover for a Chillwell rest.

      I don’t like playing ESR every week so Doucoure would be preferred to me.

      Not bad for a team with Vardy in it!

    What do we think? Wil Bamford and Raph play next GW?

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raph likely out due to the IB..

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, have Livra first sub in case Raph doesn't play.

  4. Liberate HK - antichinazi
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Rate this WC draft

    Ramsdale
    Chilwell Azp Dias Veltman
    Torres KDB (C) Son Salah
    Hwang A.Armstrong

    4.0 Toney Mbeumo Manquillo

    1. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Quite a differential squad with Torres and KDB!

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      One of the most differential WC squads I've seen this IB

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I'd say it's brave than differential

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3/10.

      Too many rest/rot issues for some of them. Torres, KDB, Chilwell - that's too much money to be sitting out.

      That forward line is the worst I've seen. Too much money in midpark when there are much cheaper and effective options available e.g. Benny, Raphina, et al.

    Morning All

    I wanted to try and leave WC for GW12 perhaps but I am thinking I might need to do this now, what do you think? Should I WC?

    Bachmann

    Rudiger | TAA | White | Veltman

    Raph | Salah | Jota | Benrahma

    Jiminez | Lukaku | Antonio

    Foster - Livramento - Luiz

    Much appreciated!

    1. Mozumbus
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think so

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nope - that's a decent team.

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      How many FTs and cash?

      Attack looks fine to me, defense is okay as well. If you have a spare FT, just change the GK.

    4. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      Thanks.

      I have 1 FT and 1.3 ITB

      Yes

    Which players are a doubt for GW8
    Thanks

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just Raph and Coufal as far I am aware.

  8. Bruno Commando
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Think I have my WC squad 80% sorted except for some questions marks. Any help is appreciated!

    A) Toney + Raph + Mbeumo (3-4-3) Subs: Livra Luiz Manquillo
    B) Hwang + Cancelo + ESR (4-3-3) Subs: Mbeumo Luiz Manquillo

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A for me.

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is it too much to get 2 x Brentford attackers? That's the question I keep asking myself!

        1. Thescaff
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          You'll only being starting one of them tho

          1. Bruno Commando
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah but for option A, I will likely start both since my subs are Livra Luiz and Manquillo!

    2. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

      1. Bruno Commando
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate! You reckon Hwang is nailed?

        1. Thescaff
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes. Trinc & Traore have been absolutely useless, so they will likely rotate

          1. Bruno Commando
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Tell me about it. I had Traore and it was a huge trap...

  9. PocketZola

    1.5 mil in the bank

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Chilwell over Azp to chase the upside seeing as your bench is so strong.
      Also are you not concerned by Antonio's int withdrawal & next 10 league games + Coca Cola Cup & Europe

  10. The 12th Man

    Roll the FT this week?

    Salah(c),Gray,Raphinha,ESR
    Ronaldo,Lukaku

    Gunn, Livramento,Dennis,Gilmour 0.2m itb 1FT.

    Save then look at Something like
    A)Ronaldo,Gilmour > Son,Toney.
    B) Ronaldo,Dennis > Werner/Vardy + Toney.

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Easy roll. A is an interesting option.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, roll

  11. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best option on wc?

    Ramsdale Foster
    TAA Cancelo ____ ____ Livramento
    Salah Son Raphinha Mbeumo Brownhill
    Lukaku ____ Hwang

    A. Chilwell/Rudi + White + Antonio
    B. Dias + Chilwell + Toney

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like the double City defence option.

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A with Rudi

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

      B. West Hams next 10 games are rank + they have league Cup & Europe to contend with.
      No way Antonio's hamstrings remain intact

  12. Inter Me Gran
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku or Vardy?

    Vardy let’s me have Hwang, Townsend, Duffy and Livra

    Lukaku means I have a £4.5 forward and Manquillo (and Townsend)

    1. Thescaff
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Duffy will lose his place once Webster is back.

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Will he though? You dont bench your star quarterback

        1. Thescaff
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Webster was nailed last season.
          Duffy looks great because of goal threat. Zero goal threat if not selected

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            All 3 can play together like Brentford game. Burn can be benched.

          2. Ginkapo FPL
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Brighton appreciate the goals as much as we do, if not substantially more

  13. Thescaff
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sort this out...
    A= 433 Mount starting, Livra on bench
    B= 523 Azpil starting, Mbeumo on bench

    1. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m not a fan of either formation and certainly not 5 at the back but each to their own

  14. Aaa
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    First priority for this mess? No wc

    Guaita/Foster
    TAA/Alonso/Rudiger/Duffy/Liv
    Salah/Pogba/Sarr/Gray/Harrison
    Ronaldo/Antonio/Armstrong

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pogba -> Raphina/Benny. I'd move Ron to Lukaku and upgrade Armstrong.

    2. space mercenary
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Only Pogba Sarr and Harrison the problem children. Raph, Mbeuno, Townsend all good options. Makes sure you have two transfers in your pocket then assess after 8.

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

      Keep as it is for the next GW to roll a transfer. Ronnie and Pogba will do ok at Leicester. Then go to Lukaku and Foden week after. Defence is all good. Get rid of Sarr week after that.

  15. Jafalad
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    There's been some really good international games this week. Both the Nation League semi-finals were excellent and last night's Czech Rep v Wales game was very good too. Dan Ward's og probably the most bizarre og ever.

    Any other games worth watching?

  16. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Interesting article (can't read in full though)

    Imo Antonio is an easy hold, especially for us non WCers, however like someone else put it, you can possibly find similar if not better points from other players when the fixtures turn in GW11 or 13, until 17. Look at Toney, ASM (GW14-17), Hwang/Jimmy (13/14) or even Ings/Watkins' fixtures during the same span. There might be a case to skip him for better potential elsewhere.

    As someone who plan to WC in gw19, I plan to ditch him in GW13, and buy him in gw18 (NOR) as the best 1 week punt (at least), before I WC. Here's hoping for a smooth sailing journey.

        What are the lyrics?

              Firts few albums were great, then again we could say that about every band

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bruce has had a tendency to play him and then drop him for months without any obvious reason.

      I'm guessing Bruce's days are numbered at Newcastle so no one knows what the starting XI will be after that.

  19. R.C

    Best team to captain against in an away game?

    A few slots left on my Wc and it’s proving to be the most difficult decision. which combo should I go with out of foden/son/canc

    Ramsdale
    Taa-Rudiger-____-White-(Livramemto)
    Salah-____-____-Mbuemo-_____
    Lukaku-Antonio-Armstrong

    Which one would you choose please

    A) cancelo-Foden-Raphinha-(ESR)
    B) (Manquillo) - Foden - Son -(Luiz)
    C) cancelo-Son-ESR-(Luiz)

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

      A for me

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      None. The balance between strength of bench and rotation risk in the first XI will be poor in all options

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C

    4. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    5. Old Gregg
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks all.

      Ginkapo I thought it was pretty template.

      But yes there’s a few rotation risks

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        The template is usually terrible

  21. Winston.

    How to fill in the remaining spots…?

    Ramsdale Foster
    Rudiger Dias Cancelo Livramento Duffy
    Salah Foden Raphinha xxxx xxxx
    Lukaku Antonio xxxx

    A. Jota, Gallagher/Townsend, Toney
    B. Mbeumo, Gray, DCL (if fit)
    C. Mbeumo, Jota, Hwang

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hmm A I guess

    2. Bruno Commando
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would go B if dcl fit, think he’ll take back much of the end product from the EVE mids when back.

      On the cost of Townsend/Doucoure.

      Jota not nailed enough to transfer in IMO. And Gallagher loosing his set pieces to Milli also make him less hot, reduced output the last matches

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. I suppose Gray is still nailed when DCL returns? Jota and Gallagher have great stats and have looked ok, maybe I should get Gallagher in B to avoid Everton double-up…

  22. RamaJama

    Suggested changes to my team?

    2.1 in the bank

    Sanchez
    TAA, Rudiger, Christensen
    Salah, Saka, Foden, Raphina
    Vardy, Jimenez, Antonio

    Subs: Steele, White, Livra, Sissoko

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like it! Vardy to lukaku maybe, but not really needed

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, will consider Lukaku, but output between Lukaku/Ronaldo/Vardy seems so equal that I will try to differentiate A couple of week.

        And spend the extra cash elsewhere. Leading all my leagues and OR 8666, want to gamble and attack this season 🙂

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yep true, vardy is low key performing. Congrats on the great season!

        Not White to Cancelo?

        1. BeWater
          • 3 Years

          I think White is a good player for his price. I currently have TAA Rudi Cancelo White Livra.

      Not sure about TAA. I was planning the other direction for until GW 11/12.

        Not sure I want to be without TAA....but will wait for team news

    Will do CR7 > Lukaku after this week.

    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudiger - Cancelo
    Salah - Son - Gray - ESR
    Toney - CR7 - Antonio

    Steele - Livra - Sissoko - Williams

      Why wait the week?

    I did tfrs early and cost a -4. Price fluctuation and longer term planning for me.
    I needed to consider 4 tfrs. Out Jota TAA Sarr Alonso and in Son Raphina Azpi Cancelo
    I chose Alonso/Cancelo and Sarr/Raphina with Tierney and Livramento as bench cover.
    Would you guys have chosen different?

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

      I have gone Alonso/Cancelo, have bench cover & we all know they are capable of big numbers.

      Not enjoyable watching the games not owning when they are on the pitch.

        So true but necessary as we are now experiencing

      Looks good as long as the two Pool players injuries don't keep them out long-term.

    I had no idea Son was close to rising yesterday and had been scouting him for a possible WC. Don't know how he got to 10.1.

      Classic FPL towers phantom rise.

      Wasn't he only on 50 odd per cent on stats.
      Mark must have brought him in yesterday.

      Most wild-carders have enough wriggle room timewise not to feel the need to press the button yet, so are making genuine transfers.

    Why so quiet on FF Hub? Seems serious to me.

      Filed away in the "we don't talk about that" drawer, along with Sports Index

        99% of hub users are on twitter. FFS team comments on the hub situation are on twitter

          This is not twitter so why not comment on this site. Twitter accounts were not hacked, this type of site was.

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        We as in FFS? all i know is most big sites in FPL have some link in some way. I would think it is a definite "to talk about" subject. Without getting into the nitty gritty I would imagine running for cover sends a very bad message.

        I fail to understand your reply. Then again I am a bit doff when it come to these things. I have never used or would never use twitter

      Just another example of an outfit that its users have lost trust in. And once the trust is gone it isn't easy to get it back. Tough times ahead for them.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        There must be account holders and vested interests with many sites such as this, FF Fix etc. What about third hand secuity?

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Hub did their own "security", hence the issue. Scout outsources that part to a competent supplier and always has

            • 9 Years

            I am glad you know that. How can we be assured? Simple. Comment on it.

      Not content with playing Russian roulette with our personal details, they're now in cost saving mode to offset their losses.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yep. If I fail to protect myself from hackers it is on me, but when someone is paid for a service they are almost as guilty as the hackers IMO. If I were a big site content creator I would be talking to people wright now. Something like this won't go away; they will by guilty by association. Talk about it FFS!

        I had no idea it was such a huge business. $1.4m from subscriptions alone. I don't know if it followed the poor example of this site and profited from links to gambling sites or all those trick alternative fantasy football games that are fronts for gambling, but some of these sites must be making obscene profits.

      It's a disaster for all involved really.

      It must have felt like a tornado had just swept through the business premises for the founder and other people that would have depended on the site to make a living.I did not frequent the place myself but i have seen the founder Will Thomas on youtube shows and he seemed like a nice man who loves the fpl game and community.You have to feel sorry for him and his team even if they were probably a bit naive in the realms of internet security for the sites users.

      One of my mates rang me during the week explaining that his data was leaked and also said that his password security practice was terrible and he used the same login credentials across many sites.His twitter account had an unauthorized login after the leak happened.At least his fpl team and history was not wiped though.

      If any good is to come out of the saga it is that people will take their password security more seriously.
      Twitch was hacked during the week too and 120gb of user data was leaked which is huge.
      These things are all too common these days unfortunately and people need to be aware of how to help protect themselves and their data.

        I hear you loud and clear, but this situation is usually created by "clicks" and sharing client information. I would like an honest answer if he was naïve or Collaborating with other sites to make a quick buck. If he was and cannot say he was, then all must come out with the truth. AND I MEAN ALL!

      2. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years

        Make this a "hot topic". It would be a step in the right direction.

        1. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]

          Unlikely, some of what's gone is also likely making FFS shift uncomfortably too.

        FF Hub was one of those sites I joined but not as a subscribed member. AFAIK my compromised details were my email address and password that I only used for that site, so no real problem. However, it has led me to ask FF Hub to delete all my details as I leave the site fully (which they have) and in addition I've deleted my details from other Fantasy football sites I bookmarked but rarely/never logged into. I'm now focused on this site and LiveFPL, and no others that ask for my details. I can follow links on Twitter and Youtube where they grab my interest; I don't really see the necessity of subscribing to multiple sites these days.

          It is a compulsive disorder. The irony is the betting market makes a beeline for this type of site and the worse part is the sites embrace it.

      I wouldn't go Benrahma & Antonio given WHU's upcoming fixtures/congression.

      Benrahma to Mbeumo leaving MITB to upgrade one of the premium defenders to TAA in the future. I'd also start White over Liva.

      1. Scooby75

        BITM, thanks for feedback. Considering Mbeumo for Benny.
