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).

GAMEWEEK 11 LINE-UPS

West Ham XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Ogbonna, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Fornals, Benrahma, Antonio

Subs: Areola, Dawson, Coufal, Diop, Masuaku, Fredericks, Kral, Noble, Lanzini

Liverpool XI: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Henderson, Salah, Mane, Jota

      I did the same move this gw to James and was called silly on here.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Whoever called you silly, was very silly. There, there. Feel better

  3. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Were Spurs as bad as the data suggests?
    Son 0 shots?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All fart no poo

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, they were absolute turd.

      Could have played another 90 and still not registered a shot on target.

  4. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Should we be ditching Antonio now?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No way

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But only 2 goals in last 7 and no assists despite West Ham scoring lots?

    2. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I did this gw, but wouldnt do so before Wolves.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ok maybe keep but really disappointed with returns last 7 games

    3. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A number of his teammates can’t stop scoring and getting assists and he keep ms blanking

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Patience is key.

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 29 days ago

            Ok cheers

    4. Root
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For whom exactly?

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        That’s the problem not much out there !

    5. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Star centre forward for in-form 3rd place team? Sure. Do it.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Okay hear you all loud and clear but it’s a valid point that despite West Ham free scoring and on form he is getting many goals or assists

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          If Antonio's your biggest issue, you've nowt to worry about. Enjoy your evening

          1. Stranger Mings
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 29 days ago

            Ok ta you too mate

    6. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      And replace with who? All the forwards are meh.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Agree on that point!

    7. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I don’t think I would now. I got rid on my WC a few weeks ago, but that was always with a view to getting him back when fixtures improved - and the alternatives aren’t doing much either. I’d hold at this stage

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Ok cheers mate thought float it out there - think I am on mount & Jesus to son & 5.8m forward (maybe king pukki!!)

    8. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      He played well. Yes, he has been very unlucky. But he played well, unlike Spurs for example. There are times to act fast and there are times to have patience. He is due to get a haul. Selling him for Vardy or Kane is for morons imo.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Patience then cheers

  5. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Cancelo 5 assists Trent 1 goal 3 assists in 4 days

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      4 for Trent.

      Origi one the pick of the bunch 😀

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep Mbeumo?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Yes, but not yet.

    3. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Shame for us owners that 5 of those assists were in the CL

  6. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Annoying my rival benched Antonio for Livramento and has come out smelling of roses.
    The outcome went his way, but I’d still make the same choice again every time. The luck just didn’t go my way this time…

    1. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      That's not luck,he is brave enough to make the tough call

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Antonio was behind Livra on my bench.

  7. pakornk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is 76 points good for this gameweek?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

      1. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Sucka

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Huge

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. Average here is 77.

    4. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No. Avg around here is 104

    5. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Very poor. Are you 12?

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No idea. Find out later.

    7. shiraz
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It is above average. Probably a green arrow for you

    8. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      C'mon now. If you straight up bragged, I'd at least have some grudging respect.

    9. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      It may seem like a green arrow, but it's only xGreenArrow. It's quite below the average, actually.

    10. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      2nd worst post of the day.

    11. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yawn

      Why are people falling for this? Jeez

  8. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    48 points from my defence, not bad. 25 from the rest…not so good.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Value in def and mid. But we know this may change.

    2. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      47 here too including GK. Brentford double up and Jota/Foden stinking up the team

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Poor you.

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Thank you.

  9. schlupptheweek
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I had a great GW but Mane was so frustrating, he gets so many chances but he is just not clinical anymore.

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just one of those days.

  10. Critical Observer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    34 points on the bench. Decent.

    1. King Carlos
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My ML has 36... ouch!

      1. King Carlos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        *rival

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That means you have a good team.

      1. Critical Observer
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Silly me not realizing I obviously should have started Foster, Livramento, White and Normann instead of Ramsdale, Mbeumo, Toney & Vardy.

        1. Firminooooo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          Also Foster and Normann on my bench. Thank god Antonio and Hwang didn’t haul from my bench.

        2. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          Yea, me too 😉

  11. Bushwhacker
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Fantastic performance by West Ham. Shocker from Liverpool and the ref. Such days happen.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Yeah, I don’t think Craig Pawson is good enough but wouldn’t blame him for Pool’s defeat

  12. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Liverpool have a GD of +20 and only 2 points from Arsenal who they meet next.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Scoring 5 vs weak sides like United if you can't defend vs better ones in Brighton & West Ham is a waste of time!

  13. gilean
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Should I do Rudiger-> James or Mbeumo-> Gallagher?

    1. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      B

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Latter from those 2

    3. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Y, b first

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Actually not yet, A first, b next. Check fixtures.

  14. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Dias or Chilwell to TAA?

    Also have Cancelo and James…..

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dias

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Dias for now but I can see a few City cleanies on the way.

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Even so, cleanies are not enough when we have attacking assets like Cancelo, TAA, Chilly and James and perhaps even Stones.

    3. mojoindojo
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Dias

    4. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Dias

  15. Baberto
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Chalobah > james (got rudriger)
    Or
    Klich > Someone who atleast plays

    What's the priority?
    4.7 ITB

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Chalobah doesnt play as well so prioritize both for free

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      1st one

  16. roghippo
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    93 -4 with bench boost, halved my rank,and I'm still disappointed Antonio blanked

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Please come every gw and post your score.

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

    I swear I want my ESR baps!

    1. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      How does he not have even 1:lol:

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Things like this wouldn’t make me win fpl

  18. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Raphinha and ESR are killing me the last few GWs. Think I will have to bring them in just to stop them scoring, like I did with Vardy.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Leicester were unable to stop Bielsa ball today, absolutely pressed out of the game.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Yeah. Leeds outplayed Leicester. Leicester struggling tbh

        1. ZeBestee
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          Goes to show playing against Leeds won't be a definite leaky defence. Their pressing minimizing their defending weakness.

          1. Firminooooo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 29 days ago

            Thinking Havertz out for Jota/Raphinha. Don’t know who to bring in for Vardy.

            1. ZeBestee
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 29 days ago

              I think keeping him for 1 more gw not the worst decision as there are not a lot of alternatives, maybe u go big with Cr7 as i feel they will turn a small corner now that fix are changing.

  19. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Of the 2 who would you keep long term

    A) Rudiger
    B) Dias

    Have cancelo

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years

      A

    2. mojoindojo

      B

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

    4. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      B. But would prefer James or Chilwell.

    5. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Neither. Happy to brag to have the preferred defense:

      TAA, Cancelo, James, Chilly, Livra

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        +1. and I played all 5.

    That Naby Keita stat when on the pitch looking tasty rn

  21. Vinyl78LP

    How does Ramsdale 1 save earn him a bap over Smith-Rowe's (and winning) goal.

          • 16 Years
          4 years, 29 days ago

          It's bonus points, one got 8 vs 7, rather the 8. If Arsenal conceded then you'd have more merit.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I haven’t a clue.

  22. MidTableFantasy
    • 10 Years

    Start Vardy (Che) or Toney (new)?

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      2 Points either way mate.

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo

      This a coin, both will blank anyway.

          Currently on Toney. Never thought it would come to this.

      Probably Toney. I'm in same boat. Looking at ESR over one of them.

      If Spurs had shown something, was considering Kane.

    Ready to copy and paste tomorrow

    Rough:
    - Sold Bachmann for Guaita (6) so I could bench Foster (11)
    - Also benched Cancelo (14) & Livramento (6)

    Previous weeks:
    GW10: Benched Smith Rowe (9) & Livramento (6)
    GW9: Benched Smith Rowe (13) & Trent (10)

      Gutted, I've just counted up and I've benched 84 points in the last 3 weeks

        I read this with a massive slice of cheese hanging out of my mouth, fyi.

        84 points is horrific. I hope someone of them were GK points while your playing keeper got returns to cover!

          Haha, Foster this week and Ramsdale last week. Missed Cancelo this week, ESR in 9 & 10 and Livra for the last 3. Somehow still managed a green arrow in all 3

    76 after the bonuses hope to go under 20k …

      Nice score. Well done.

    Time to shift Antonio?

    Flattering to deceive and blankety, blank for 2 weeks now..

      Wolves next so possibly.

        Such a frustrating own

          Got away with benching this GW.

  26. arkom
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Duffy to TAA and:

    Vardy or Kane?
    --> Jimenez

  27. Ruudy Van
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Meslier to Lloris??

    Have exact cash and not sure why I got Meslier on my wildcard

    1. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Could work out, but Spurs are a work in progress so I feel there are cheaper better options in Ramsdale, Guiata and even Sanchez

  28. Tic Tacs
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Have hit the Wildcard button, probably to distract from another GW of bad decisions. First thing getting Mount out of there!

    1. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Keep us updated

      1. Tic Tacs
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Will update once I get my head round it!

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Mount was an ok pick, injury didn't help his course but we all knew he couldn't come close to replicate that haul.

      1. Tic Tacs
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        Yeah it was a knee jerk on my part to get him in, then he came on with 5 mins to go this week to block Gallagher coming off first bench!

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I wouldn't know who to get in. Forwards are a wasteland.

      1. Tic Tacs
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 29 days ago

        I already have Jimenez, Toney and Antonio… so I’m gonna be winging it

  29. Footieboot
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Not looking forward at all to next GW. Sanchez destroyed my already complicated transfer plans.

    1. JariL
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      I think I'll just keep him and accept 0 points for a week.

    2. Zebras
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Raya & Sánchez on wildcard for me have been a disaster. Undecided myself on whether to accept the 0 or take a hit

  30. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 29 days ago

    Quite possibly

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 29 days ago

      Definitely maybe
