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

Subs: Kelleher, Konate, Thiago, Minamino, Tsimikas, Origi, Phillips, Williams, Morton

    Might just downgrade Vardy to Wilson next week. Really think Wilson can match him over the next few, and could really use that fund elsewhere.

      • 8 Years

      Yeh thinking same thing

    Shameless repost:

    I was planning a move for Son but actually thinking of going into gw12 with:

    .........................................................Steele
    .............................TAA Cancelo James Chilwell Livramento
    ...................................Salah Foden Mbeumo Gallagher
    ........................................................Antonio

    Subs: Sanchez, Jiminez, Vardy, Allan

    1FT, £1.7m ITB

    Finding it hard to spot promising players going into next week that upgrade on what I have.

    Any suggestions?

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good team save!

    2. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good- I'd hold that team and formation and make changes if any IB injuries.

      • 11 Years

      Vardy will troll and score a brace

  3. vova
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Vardy owners, what are you doing with him?

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

      Selling for Kane

      1. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

        One troll to another. Why?

    2. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Benching and waiting for and easier decision

      1. MidTableFantasy

        an*

  4. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Sarr and Vardy to Son and Wilson or is it wrong to get rid of Vardy just yet? 2 ft

    1. vova
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm thinking of doing Saka/Vardy to Son/Wilson

      1. Babit1967
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Sounds good but you just know Vardy will get a brace against Chelsea

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

    Had I BB'd my keepers and defenders alone would've scored 63 pts... lol

  6. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thought I had Steele on the bench. Turns out I switched him to Steer on my WC 😕

  7. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale
    Trent Dias Chilwell Rudi
    Gallagher Raphinha Salah Son
    Vardy Toney

    Duffy Biss Dennis
    1.2m
    What to do? Exact cash for Bissouma to ESR, or swap Rudiger for James or Cancelo..

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

    Without cheating, can you name the second highest scoring mid this season? 😮

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gallagher?

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

      Gallagher.

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

        And daylight between Salah and him.

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

          Salah's score is ridiculous but serious going from Gallagher.

          Just needs to keep Mili on that bench!

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            surprising how found down the list Raph is

            1. have you seen cyan
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              how far down*

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

              Yeah no assists is hurting, badly needs Bamford back!

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

            Is Mili out of favor or any fitness issues?

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

              Kouyate has been playing in his spot the last two games, probably won't change anytime soon...

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

                Thanks.

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

      Yes

  9. NotsoSpursy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Smith-Rowe in for

    A) Saka
    B) Benrahma
    C) don’t bother as Smith-Rose’s run will end

    1. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C

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

      I'd keep Saka and Benny

    3. NotsoSpursy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      My rivals have him and I’m losing out every week though :-/

    4. acidicleo

    5. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C

    6. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C- I would get rid of Saka though.

    7. Sun Jihai

  10. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Brighton camp is backing Kjell Scherpen to get a start over Steele (who most own as Sanchez backup on here), who is a summer singing with Champions League experience with Ajax.

    Might have to use a transfer to take Sanchez out afterall.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Why hasn’t he been on the bench?

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

        Playing with the U23s

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          interesting, cheers

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

      Nah I still wouldn't use a transfer on him.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Gaita could be worth it

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'll just take it on the chin and play no GK for 1 GW

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What if Scherpen has a worldie and keeps his place?

        Even a -4 is a -2 with appearance points

        1. No Professionals
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          What if he doesn’t even play and steele does?

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I’d not be risking the Brighton backup and trying Guaita or McCarthy

    4. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's 1 GW, even if Steele doesn't start. Not worried. If it were a three match ban that would be different.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Isn’t it worth losing 2 pts in trying to gain 2+ pts?

        1. No Professionals
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I tried that last time year when I did martinez to Johnstone

  11. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Jota or Son in next? Or both if it can be done for free?

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If it can be done for free I'd get both. Have Jota myself and will be doing Havertz to Son as planned.

      1. Weak Become Heros
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I worry Jota had a poor game today, Origi nicked a goal..

        1. BeWater
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I doubt Origi will start ahead of him though. Price changes shouldn't be a problem so leave it a couple of weeks. Might have more news on the length of Firmino's absence.

    2. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Both- I'm not sold on Spuds yet but you can't ignore those fixtures.

  12. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ivan Toney:

    9 points in the last 5 gameweeks. Four price rises.

    Jarrod Bowen:

    36 points in the last 5 gameweeks. Zero price rises.

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hype.

      1. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Completely. No one has been hyping Bowen. They've all been creating a frenzy around how to get Kane or Son or both.

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

      Shows the lack of in form forwards and abundance of in form mids probably.

  13. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Some of the content creators are smashing it
    FPL Focal up to 2nd in the world with 104 points this GW 😮

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

      That's why they're the pros. We are not worthy.

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years

      Great..

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

    Who would you bring in for Havertz: Jota, Son, Bowen, Raphinha, ESR, Gallagher.

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

      G

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

      S, R, G, J, B, E.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        this

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thanks.

  15. Babit1967
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What happened to Dallas?

    We know he’s not a good fpl pick as midfielder but he was great last season for the odd goal and assist

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

      He was great last season when he got pushed into midfield. Been covering LB & RB all season.

    2. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      JR

  16. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is anyone thinking about Moura?

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

      Not for me. That midfield named today lacked serious creativity. Wouldn't be surprised to see Lucas drop out for Ndombele to get more chances for the big two.

      Plenty of cheaper mids on offer!

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yea shame

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      constantly

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

      Please, for the love of dog. Won't somebody think of the Moura
      [faints]

    4. MidTableFantasy
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Only if he was 4.5

  17. Jerse
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    All that Spurs over hype and way too much airtime given, came to zero. Learnt my lesson with the hype and twin distractions of Lukaku and Ronaldo about 6 game weeks ago. Kane 1 goal and one assist season to date, marginally better than Keenan Davis. Would not trust him against Northwitch Victoria let alone Norwich.

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Practically everyone with Twitter account, YouTube channel and podcast has been hyping the crap out of Son and Kane this week.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Think I am captaining Kane vs Leeds 😀

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      One swallow does not make a summer.

  18. The FPL Units
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this WC

    Guaita – Foster
    TAA – Cancelo – James – Livra – Chilwell
    Salah – Bilva – Bowen – Gallagher – ESR
    Kane – Hwang – Broja
    2.2 itb

    Gives flexibility on formation to cover no shows, injuries & Covid over the festive season.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Love the Bilva pick. One of my favourite players in the prem.

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

      What's the spare cash for?

      1. The FPL Units
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No idea where to spend it

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

          Hwang to Antonio

  19. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wouldn’t mind bringing in Rashford for the Watford game.

    Based on nothing but Ronaldo and Rashford as a front two would cause any team problems.

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Still got my WC and he's one of the players on my list. Could be the one to own for that fixture run.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd just avoid ManU altogether at the moment, I wouldnt put it past Renieri trying to sneak a draw or even a win vs ManU. Imagine lol

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

        Well, he won't be trying for a sneaky defeat.

    3. No Professionals
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Any team apart from Man City

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

      Would be more interesting if he didn’t take up a midfield slot
      9.4m also feels pretty expensive

  20. Chrisitis
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    That last pool chance
    VVD and Hendo blocking Whu players so Mane gets free space
    Is this cheat or smart?

  21. It'd be Rudi not to...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    2FT, 0.3 ITB

    Mendy (Foster)
    TAA, Chilwell, Cancelo (Duffy, Liv)
    Salah, Havertz, Raph, ESR (Allan)
    Toney, Vardy, Antonio

    Lots of options but considering:

    1) Havertz to Gallagher (work out further stuff later after internationals)
    2) Havertz and Allan to Gallagher and Jota
    3) Toney and Allan to Hwang and Gallagher

    I am leaning towards 2 for a strong front 8 ahead of Christmas fixture congestion. No rush for any of these moves, have a bit of wiggle room with money.

    Thoughts?
