Gameweek 13 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes on Monday, with West Ham United v Bournemouth getting underway at 20:00 BST.

The Hammers were beaten by Liverpool last time out but have won two league matches in a row at home, while the visitors’ unbeaten run under Gary O’Neil came to an end against Southampton in Gameweek 12.

David Moyes makes just one change for West Ham, as Said Benrahma comes in for Pablo Fornals, who drops to the bench.

That means Gianluca Scamacca starts his fifth consecutive league match, with Michail Antonio potentially held back for Europa Conference League duty on Thursday.

However, Craig Dawson and Maxwel Cornet both miss out, while the game also comes too soon for Lucas Paqueta.

As for Bournemouth, they have no fresh injury concerns and are unchanged from the side that were beaten 1-0 by Southampton.

Dominic Solanke, owned by 3.6% of managers, leads the line hoping to add to his tally of six attacking returns (two goals, four assists).

GAMEWEEK 13 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Johnson, Zouma, Kehrer, Cresswell, Soucek, Rice, Bowen, Downes, Benrahma, Scamacca

Subs: Areola, Randolph, Coufal, Ogbonna, Emerson, Lanzini, Coventry, Antonio, Fornals

Bournemouth XI: Neto, Fredericks, Mepham, Senesi, Smith, Lerma, Cook, Christie, Billing, Tavernier, Solanke

Subs: Travers, Stacey, Zemura, Stephens, Rothwell, Stanislas, Pearson, Moore, Anthony

        Hold up play and bringing others in was excellent.

      Me too. No idea what possessed me to pick him ahead of Mitro...

        Now I wouldnt have done that.

          On a WC, felt like I could afford a risk or two and it was off the back of a run of goals, looking pretty sharp and WH high up the ticker.

          1. MFC86
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            I was exactly the same on WC, tried to see him as a differential but he has blanked every week since having him

  2. No Kane No Gain

    Would you play Andreas (EVE) or Andersen (SOU) this week?!

    Playing Mitrovic already if that helps!

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Andreas

    2. Weak Become Heros

    Zouma owner checking in 🙂

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      1.6% owned - sweet!

    2. GreatCarragherReef
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Don’t understand why people would own him. Grim celebration for the goal today too.

    3. The Abyss
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I don’t think I could ever bring myself to put him in my team, no matter how well he did. In the same way I wouldn’t listen to a Gary Glitter or Jonathan King record anymore.

      1. GreatCarragherReef
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah- I can understand someone getting him in if he goes on a mad goal scoring spree but for people to have him before tonight? Very weird

        1. Union_Jacks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Cry more

  7. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I got punished badly the last time I captain Kane instead of Halaand. After watching Bournemouth tonight I'm tempted to do it again.

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I've captained him a couple of times and it's paid off - I'm considering it again

      1. PogChamp
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I did it when he got 23 points against United so I've been stung hard. Gunna think about it tho

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          if you're seriously chasing then it has to be the play. If you're in a decent position then it's more difficult a decision. Also see how mid week games go and how many minutes Haaland pays. Kane is always going play more or less a full game but Haaland more likely to have his minutes managed. If he only play 45 minutes or so midweek then it will be more risky to cap Kane.

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

      No Neto is a huge loss to them.

  8. Rinseboy
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bench this week from this lot?

    Pope
    Trippier Cancello Gabriel Doherty Neco
    Salah Saka Foden Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Toney Mitro

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Andreas doc neco

      1. Supersonic_
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        This

      2. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Andreas, Doherty and Neco probably

    3. Rinseboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      cheers all. Doherty will be tough to bench

  9. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Benrahma 8 shots vs bowens 1 tonight

    1. jack88
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Ben was amazing. Overall westh looked really poor. One lucky goal

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Doesn’t look great for Bowen but it is just one game

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Is it one game? Apart from the goals at Wolves and Fulham he's been off the boil all season

          1. Pat Bonner
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            17 shots in previous 5 games

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

      I loved owning him at the start of last season.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I missed that boat as didn’t want to double up with Antonio to start with…by the time I got him he stopped scoring!

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

      I said before the game that Benrahma's looked really good every time I've seen him this season, just had limited time especially in the PL. Definitely think he deserves more starts

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        A nice punt for 15 and 16 maybe

  10. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bit lost on next moves. £1.7m ITB and 1FT. Mount or Scamacca out probably.

    Kepa (Ward)
    Trippier, Cancelo, Dier (Guehi, Neco)
    Saka, Martinelli, Mount, Foden (Andreas)
    Kane, Haaland, Scamacca

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Scamaca to Toney?

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah good shout. Obviously 4YC thing, but Andreas not a bad deputy

  11. Scalper
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    DCL looks a tasty punt for GW15 & 16. Mitro > DCL on the cards

  12. Kantelele
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Cancelo,TAA,Robertson,White,Gabriel M who is the best defender for the next 3 GW before World Cup break ?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Clearly not the Liverpool ones....

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Cancelo still, then Gabriel

  17. g40steve
    • 7 Years

    Thoughts?

    Solanke & Bowen > DCL & Miggy

    Or just Bowen > Saka?

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Bowen > Saka

  18. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Is Doherty a hold or sell on a free?
    Defence the week would be
    Cancelo Trippier Doherty* ( Guehi Castagne)

    A Hold
    B Switch to Gabriel
    C Switch to Zouma
    D Switch to Dalot

    1. Rinseboy
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I like B

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years

      B Forest @ home

  19. Flynny
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Who is the best likely solanke replacement up to 7.3m? Not mitro

    A....wilson
    B...scamacca
    C...someone else

    West have have 2 decent home games in 15 and 16 - bur always a chance Antonio starts one of them. Thanks

  20. pablo discobar
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Bowen said he thinks he's off pens

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      It's a bit silly that some professional football teams don't even know who their designated penalty taker is

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        We were spoiled with Mark Noble until this season

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          And Lanzini isn't making the team anymore so it's a relatively new problem

        2. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          You have so many top class players, surely the manager has the leadership to designate one

          That means sticking with them if they missed

          1. pablo discobar
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Benny scored a few pre season iirc

          2. Hits from the Bong
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            It was Noble, Lanzini, Antonio then Rice, but the first 2 stopped making the starting lineup and the last 2 kept missing so Bowen was given a try. I think his last one was so bad that the players must have all had a go in training the past few days and we now have a pecking order

            1. Zidane's Floor
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 2 months ago

              Fairs, it is tough when your takers are in and out the team, especially with 5 subs

              What do you think of Bowen from an FPL point of view now, worth keeping?

              1. Hits from the Bong
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 2 months ago

                I wouldn't have thought so, Even when we win it is far from sparkling, attacking football, Bowen still looks a bit off it, struggling to adapt to playing without Antonio, short of confidence, being targetted a bit more than previous years. Now off pens as well.
                He was at his best last season with Antonio peeling out wide and taking defenders with him, allowing Bowen to run into the space left upfront. Scamacca is more of a central focal point so Bowen has to stay out wide more often and is running into more traffic when cutting inside. Plus the whole team is well off the form of this time last year imo

                1. Zidane's Floor
                  • 3 Years
                  3 years, 2 months ago

                  Thanks for the insight, appreciate it

                  Think I'll stick with United and hopefully he can do well on the counter

                  I've eaten a massive turd on the pick so far, why not stick

                  His xG is still massive, despite the good points you made... just needs to click

  21. Zidane's Floor
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Everyone complaining about Bowen, meanwhile he is my highest scoring midfielder this week 😎

    Earned his spot in my team for next GW

  22. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I need to ditch Fofana. I have 1m ITB and was thinking arsenal due to potentially juicy home to NFO fixture. Is White worth a punt? He seemed fairly attacking when I have watched them.

    1. yeahbuddy
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Yep good pick
      Excellent value

  23. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    imo Bowen to Saka isn’t worth if you can play Andreas this gw

  24. pablo discobar
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    I've got andreas coming on for nunez, so in hindsight it was an expert transfer lol.

    Depending on European game time I'd ideally keep nunez, but could sell for Jesus.

    Anyone think Jesus could be benched for Niketeh to avoid a yellow card before the chelsea game?

    1. Zidane's Floor
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Thanks for putting that Jesus benching thought into my head

      Won't sleep tonight now

      1. pablo discobar
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Just seems a good time for it. Typical fpl screw job scenario

        1. Zidane's Floor
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Would be perfect for me too

          Everyone in my ML has Mitro who has smashed it, while I watch Jesus miss chance after chance

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Nketiah rinsed Chelsea in their last meeting iirc. I expect Arteta will prioritise the game in front of him, and it's still more likely than not that Jesus will be available for the Chelsea game. Martinelli more likely to be benched than Jesus, I think.

      1. Zidane's Floor
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, you'd think as a striker it's easy to avoid a booking - no matter how hard of a presser you are

    3. Captain Beefheart
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No, you worry about winning the next game, Forest just beat Liverpool, no easy game in the Prem

      1. pablo discobar
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Guess we'll know more after Thursday's European games. A Jesus start there would have me worried

  25. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    Need a move for one week only (WC15). Was planning Ward > Ramsdale. Any better ideas?

    Iversen
    Trent Gomez Trippier
    KDB Zaha Odegaard Martinelli
    Haaland Darwin* Mitrovic

    Ward | Andreas, Cucurella, Guehi | 1FT. 2.0 ITB

    1. pablo discobar
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Think raya outscored Ramsdale over the 3 games

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry?

        1. pablo discobar
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          Typo. I think Raya outscores ramsdale over the next 3 games.

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Okay. How about one just this one gameweek though?

              One gw is close call. Ward made 5 saves v wolves last gw. Ramsdale is 6 points, I think Raya gets 8 v wolves

                Thanks, though I think your estimations are based on 100% chance of clean sheet.

                  I'm confident of that vs wolves

                    You might need to do nunez to Jesus too. I'm in the sameboat there. Ideally nunez is good for leeds

      Keep Ward with last couple of weeks results Leicester seem to be getting results/clean sheets plus for Ramsdale fixture for WK15 only Chelsea v Arsenal

      Martinelli to Saka

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years

        What on Earth?

        GUYS, I need someone for one week only!!!! I am WILDCARDING in GW15!!! 😀

        Martinelli to Saka is an incredible waste of a transfer, even for 3 weeks, imo

      Sound move but what about Darwin?

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        I expect him to be back but I haven't seen if there's any news yet. If he's ruled out, I guess I could consider a forward! Jesus, DCL, Wilson, Toney, Firmino?

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 2 months ago

          I guess Jesus could work, though I'd probably just play Andreas. It would block your Ramsdale move too, which I think does make sense

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, you're probably right. Not sure what I would decide in the end in that situation

    Bowen on leaving the penalty to Benrahma. ‘No chance of me taking the penalty, I'm off them after my miss last week! But it was a great pen from Said and he has that quality. I see it in training every day. He was great tonight.’

      Thanks for the 0pter Bowen, true legend

        He got 3 points?

    Someone help. No idea what to do this gw coming:

    Pope
    Trippier, Andersen, Cancelo
    Salah, Bowen, Zaha, Martinelli
    Jesus, Haaland, Toney

    Ward, Pereira, Webster, Williams

      Everton Defender

  28. Flynny
    • 10 Years

    Is it feasible to start andreas and mitro at the weekend v Everton?

    Everton decent defensively

    Might bench solanke if injury not serious as he has decent gw15 and gw16 games. Thanks

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      What do you mean by feasible?

      I presume you're going to start Mitrovic, no matter what. So he's irrelevant to the question imo. Playing Andreas could be worth it if you have other priorities or opportunities from saving the FT. Those things *are*relevant though. Anything'spossible in lower-table scraps (granted Fulham are in the top half right now), and if goals happen, Andreas could easily involved, so it's far from a situation in which you might consider a hit to avoid playing him unless a massive upgrade was possible.

      1. Flynny
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers. I might bench solanke and instead get a arsenal defender instead of playing 2 x palace defender and keeper

        In this instance I'd start andreas as well as mitro

        Guess feasible is the wrong wrong. But it's defo an option to play them both

    Who would you sell for Saka?

    Bowen/Zaha

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      No

    2. Victor6359
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha

    3. RWB_1991
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      I have both and I’m not selling Zaha ahead of Southampton at home

  30. RWB_1991
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 2 months ago

    A) Roll and either play Bowen or Pereira
    B) Bowen out for Saka
    C) Bowen out for Foden

    1. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 2 months ago

      C

      1. RWB_1991
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 2 months ago

        Seems the obvious choice doesn’t it with his 3 fixtures to come. Problem is I probably have to do it tonight as I have the exact money.
