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).

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

    #TRENTWATCH#

    Trent blitzes his way up to 93 returns & 87 baps in 105 league starts since the beginning of the 18/19 season

    Including 10 returns & 12 baps in 9 starts this season, along with officially hitting his highest ever PPG (7.1 PPG season to date)

    Behold - his awesome haulage during that spell laid out in all it's glory (deep breath):
    - 8 Goals
    - 40 Assists
    - 45 Cleansheets
    - 87 Baps

    May I suggest we all just partake in a respectful minute's applause please in honour of this wonderful guy, followed by a solemn minute's silence for all his poor, poor non-owners 🙁

    *Applause*

      I have been playing 5 at the back this GW…48 points just from my defence. Think I will have to play Cancelo, TAA, James, Chilwell and Livramento next GW to. Points in defence this year.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Was averaging 3 points per gameweek since his injury until today. If you ditched him you probably have made gains in other areas.

        Hahaha the sound of a trent non owner wallowing in misery hahaha

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Almost like there are no other defenders in the game currently who can get regular double figure hauls.

        And you can knock one out tonight, thinking about him knocking one out. Mate 🙂

    Finished with 103 points.
    Spontaneous BB went well in the end.
    Nothing from the strikers again.

    Ramsdale - Fernandez
    TAA - Cancelo - Chilwell - Livramento - James
    Salah (c) - Raphina - ESR - Gallagher - Trossard
    Toney - Vardy - Antonio

    1. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Fantastic, Nice team.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Well done Ballsy

    3. EL tridente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good team right now, but will be pretty hard to fit in some of the premiums when they start to get on a roll

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Vardy and Antonio will be my cash cows for the premiums. A few hits along the way. High risk high reward strategy

    4. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Excellent return. Well played. What're your plans for the frontline? Any moves, or wait & see?

      1. ball c
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Vardy is first on the chopping block. He’s done nothing for me in the 3 game weeks I’ve had him.
        I’m looking at Wilson or Hwang and maybe upgrading Antonio to Kane but happy to keep Antonio over Kane right now

  3. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Vardy to ? Have Hwang and Antonio.

    1. roghippo
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      All the strikers are abysmal, maybe Borja and upgrade the midfield

    2. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’m think Wilson with his fixtures and new manager bounce. If only Jota was a striker in the game

    3. One More Hit
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Difficult one that seeing as you’ve already got Hwang. Maybe some absolute bench fodder and find another Mid you can play instead?

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Hwang isn't that good imo.. May be the price but eye test/Stats, he isn't looking dangerous at all.

        1. One More Hit
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Was poor yesterday but so was the whole team. Not singling him out, main point was 2 mid priced strikers plus a bench fodder option seems to make sense. One mid priced plus two effectively basement bargain strikers, not so sure

    4. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah. Broja vs Norwich seems the best pick.

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Armstrong*

    5. Zimo

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus

  4. JariL
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which one to bring in:

    A) Jota
    B) Son -4

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jota.

    2. Amartey Partey

      Neither

  5. TorresMagic™

    Looks like 46 will be this GWs LMS safety score.

  9. Tomerick

    Vardy to Ronaldo is pretty much a no brainer with that Kane performance no?

    1. EL tridente

      I´m will do Vardy to Kane.

  13. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years

    Every time we concede a goal from open play i wonder why no one of our midfielders tackle, do they really care about YCs.

    Hope we sign someone like bissouma asasp.

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      First defeat of the season. Don't panic yet.

  14. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Does Jesus have any international duty? Thinking of getting him for Firmino.

  15. Fish up a tree
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone still got Kane & what’s your thinking?

    I may go Jesus for City’s game v EVE where I can see a goal fest

    1. Original Sin
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I also want to get Jesus, but get him now or wait until the IB?

      1. Fish up a tree
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I would wait as he will play for Brazil v Argentina on the Tues night before City play Everton on the Sunday

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping

    3. EL tridente
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I will get Kane now. Hoping his form will turn after a good IB

    4. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Have to keep if you own in my opinion, next 4 fixtures are great

  16. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Son had zero shots and created one chance. Yikes.

    1. Pep's Money Laundry

      ConteBall

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Nuno in.

  17. Original Sin
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Trossard or Cornet? Both have really good fixtures.

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

    Antonio/Vardy/Auba hurting for 2nd straight week.

    Auba gonna go during internationals. Best cheap forward going on from here?

    Likely to go Havertz -> Son aswell.

  19. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Early thoughts on this lot?

    1ft 2.6m in the kitty

    Schmeichel
    TAA Livramento Cancelo Chilwell
    Salah Grealish ESR
    Vardy Jimenez Toney

    Steer Duffy Gray Sissoko

    Grealish to Son?

  20. Gunners in Haaland
    • 4 Years

    2 agonizing weeks incoming...

  21. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Didn’t watch Spurs tonight. I understand that it was a poor performance. No need to bring in Kane or Son?

    1. Noisy Neighbour
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Son owner here with buyer’s remorse, so I would advise against it. Of course their upcoming fixtures are so good I won’t risk selling, so I’m stuck with the misery.

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

      Reguilon by the looks of things

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Conte has to time to work his magic now

  22. F4L
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which would you say is the biggest upgrade?

    A - Toney ➡ Wilson
    B - Mbeumo ➡ Bowen?

    1. Noisy Neighbour
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B, Wilson will be injured again in 3 weeks.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        😀 cheers, I hope not, but you're probably right!

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not bad, expect 3 changes by deadline.

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Don't like your forward line. Prefer ESR over Mbuemo.

  24. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench 2 next week.
    Ronaldo, Vardy, Antonio.

    1. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years

      Antonio

    2. Amartey Partey

      Jees. Who are you playing instead of them?

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      You must have other options - would play all 3

  25. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Evening all!! Any Saints fans around?! Will Broja get back in the starting lineup for the Norwich game we think?!? Think about doing Toney(have Mbeumo) to him to facilitate Rudiger(have Chilwell)to Cancelo

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 5 months ago

        They're too depressed and or bemoaning bad luck

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Haha wish my team won back to back 1-0

      • Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'm not a Saints fan, but I'd be surprised if Broja starts when Armstrong and Adams are both scoring goals.

        1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Cheers fellas!!!! Would be on the bench anyway and play 3-5-2

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How was Kane today?

      Thinking if WCing to clear my frontline and get City and James.

      Foster
      TAA • Chilwell • Rudiger • Livra
      Salah • Jota • Raph
      Kane • Antonio • Toney
      (Sanchez, White, Sarr, Gilmour)

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He was poor. Conte was more focused on not conceding.

      2. Fish up a tree
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Kane’s head is gone, his confidence is shot, Spurs don’t create & can’t even muster a shot on target against Everton!

        He hates Levy for fooking up his career & now the Dpurs fans want him dropped.

        As a co owner it’s time to part ways man

    3. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I want to transfer out Firmino but there is no striker that I want. Can I just get another defender for him?

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No

    4. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      How was Son today? Plan to get him for next week. Him and Gallagher

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        He didn't get much of a chance because of the way Conte had Spurs set up to not concede. Looked better than Kane though.

      2. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not showing much but as usual Son need 1 chance to score

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Not great. Has put me off ( but I already have Kane who was not great either)

    5. mataave
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Any Newcastle fans know why Manquillo didn’t play? Was he dropped? Is he likely to play the next game?

    6. Noisy Neighbour
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can anyone top 36 points on their bench this week?

      1. ididnt
