West Ham v Norwich team news: Cresswell returns as Soucek misses out

Bowen had form and stats, how was that playing it safe?

That's not safe because more people captained Bowen

Yea Antonio was not safe

how did you get an 86 without Bowen(c)?

Yeah 79 here, can’t be bothered, he should have had 4 today

Bowen was the safe and better pick. He had over 50% higher EO than Antonio. It shouldn't have been surprise to anyone.

I didn't even think about captaincy this week. I generally much prefer Antonio and just assumed most people would captain him anyway. Turns out I was very wrong.

Yes, losing 4 players when PL should have known Lei situation was very annoying.

There's one suggested on The Athletic which I think is quite decent

DDG
TAA Royal Ait-Nouri
(C)Maddison Jota Moura Bowen
(VC)Dennis Ronaldo DCL(yes)

He’s certainly put the haters to bed and proved himself to be a top manager

Yeah, it was quite sad really. After being an excellent manager with Everton for years, it was sad to see him become a figure of ridicule. But successive managers at ManUtd have shown it's no easy task there. Delighted for him and West Ham.

It was only Norwich

it's remarkable!

i remember ahead of last season The Athletic did a pole on fan's enthusiasm/hope for the coming season.
the lowest team was WH at like 8% - the next lowest was in the 30s%

Moyes coming in and the season before hand seemed to pretty much point to us getting relegated.
We haven't spent heaps of cash - and everything has been working out great.

He's a diamond, one of the few I can actuay comprehend in interviews, and he's Scottish who are usually incomprehensible.

He’s worked absolute wonders, clearly doesn’t have an ego about him either considering he returned after being given the swift boot first time round. Terraces are singing his name loud & proud now, rightly so.

What would your wildcard be?

Doubt it. -8 or -12 should do the business.

Ronaldo for me

Agreed, team should be moved to the girlies league.

You'll be pleased to hear I've gone up to 120k.

Yeah it says unavailable due to the amount of jizz on the site

Haha 🙂

Bowen (c) 77pts and red arrow down 2k for me!

Same feeling here, on WC. Phew 🙂

Here's to happier times ahead

Well done, great returns…

Pay peanuts….

Get what you pay for with those 4m defenders

Carrie will probably pop out another baby tomorrow to distract everyone.

Don't understand the reasoning behind picking a rotation risk for a double. I mean, the objective has to be to get a double and not a single?

A

I’d go B (Maddy(

B Maddy

B

None

Ouch.

A

A. But I personally wouldn't buy Cucurella, he's playing Chelsea and then blanks in GW24. I prefer Emerson Royal

Definitely Antonio. I'd pick Cancelo over Foden, more nailed

B + C

B&c

A and C

Same here. Took a 4 point hit bringing in Coufal and Bowen, captaining the latter. 38% rank increase for the GW, most of that just from tonight's match. I have moments like this just once or twice a season.

Yes, with Ronaldo over Kane

And (C) Madders over Ronaldo. The form gap is wide

Maybe someone else instead of Madders if the Burnley game is at risk after the next presser, mind. A long-term hold, like Foden or Raphinha

Antonio. I have DCL and am going to keep him. Decent fixtures and plenty of games in hand.

Kept antonio for so long waiting for the patience to pay off lol

Tricky. Norwich are really bad…

I'd keep any striker who has Norwich up next.

Congrats mate. I had a similar week (96 points, took me from 642k to 382k)

Nice one !

Think Villa have upcoming doubles, or maybe even a triple... 😮

Sounds good

They're also 4th - I think it's more about that.

I mean 4th after 21 games is pretty impressive. That's 4 wins on the bounce after a rocky patch.
