Jota leads line as £3.9m Johnson continues at right-back for West Ham

In the final match of Gameweek 11, West Ham United host Liverpool at the London Stadium.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

West Ham are unchanged from the XI that beat Aston Villa 4-1 in Gameweek 10.

That means another start for budget defender Ben Johnson (£3.9m) at right-back, with Vladimir Coufal (£4.8m) again having to settle for a place on the bench.

Further forward, Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m), Said Benrahma (£6.4m) and Pablo Fornals (£6.0m) feature in David Moyes’ 4-2-3-1 formation, behind lone forward Michail Antonio (£8.2m).

As for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp makes four changes from last weekend, with Joel Matip (£5.0m), Fabinho (£5.4m), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (£5.8m) and Diogo Jota (£7.5m) replacing Ibrahima Konate (£5.1m), Naby Keita (£5.0m), Curtis Jones (£5.0m) and Roberto Firmino (£8.9m).

      Yeah time to revert to one up front … they’re all flopping all over the camp 541 the way forward.

      Seriously what the hell was he thinking there?

    Ham above Pool in the League, shhhh

  8. OPTA FPL

    Jota dropped

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Every sub Klopp has made has made the side weaker.

      Origi is worse than Jota.
      Thiago is worse than Ox (might be a better passer, but he is slow, gives away fouls and gets caught on the ball leading to counters)

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        And now Minamino for Fabinho.

        Damn that has weakened the Liverpool side significantly.

    That's the sound of owners putting ESR back in the starting XI with Liverpool up next

  10. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years

    Still time for the 7-2

    Moyes has done a phenomenal job at West Ham. Great to see.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Man Utd should hire him

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He is too big for Man Utd

  12. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Another Bowen assist!

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    West Ham couldn't could they?

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

      If it was the Leicester season.

  14. shurm
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Moyes should go Utd...oh hang on

  15. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Get one more West Ham!!!

  16. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Jota a crap pick, wish I'd bloody kept Raphinha...

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

    Thiago effect.

  18. squ1rrel
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bowen carrying my draft team

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

    Love that Jota keeps on being a trap.

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

    Got to say Trent scored a screamer but been ruthlessly exposed and contributed to conceding 2…

  21. Mighty Banana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Alisson mustn't be getting enough action at home.

  22. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    No Antonio involvement again?!

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Of course

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Uh huh

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

      Seems to be assisting assists alot. I sold him for Toney so am cringing at these WH chances and his involvement

  23. bigwig
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hammers beasts on set pieces.

    Apparently Man U are the only team in the league not to score from a set piece, that must be down to poor mgmt

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

      Actually hired a new set piece coach to help with that... Been worse than last season.

  24. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    There was aot of noise when Arsenal let go of Ox, Ramsey, Iwobi and others.

    Seems to be a brilliant decision except maybe Gnabry.

    1. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      & Ramsey

      1. mojoindojo
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Ramsey has been on off. Injury prone.

  25. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ok, I’m back to no urgency in getting Trent again 🙂

  26. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bout to rage transfer Jota straight out alongside Vardy

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Do ittttttttt

  27. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Gone from planning to possibly get Kane and TAA in to contemplating moving to a 4.5 FWD instead and going back to 352 with no defensive changes, funny week

    1. Gubby-Allen
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Let the internationals play out. There will be unavailability after those.

  28. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hence why Trent doesn't get in the England team?

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

      Yep he’s a luxury player in a top team.

      Great if playing forward and dominating a game but quickly exposed by the best teams when Liverpool pushed back

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He should be in the England side because he is one of the PL's most creative players. If that means you play an extra DM to cover for him defensively then so be it.

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        They could end up with a whole team of right backs and defensive midfielders.

      2. WVA
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        How would you line that up? Walker covers him? Can't squeeze James in with TAA

        Pickford
        TAA Walker Maguire Stones Chilwell
        Phillips Hendo
        Foden Kane Grealish

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

      Great crosser & set piece taker, poor defender.

  29. Walter White (WW)
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Antonio!

  30. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    No Antonio returns after 3 goals, disappointing

    1. bigwig
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Plus the 4 they scored in the last game

    2. Gubby-Allen
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Or Benhrama, what are the chances to have those two and 2 points each?
