Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Huddersfield

The Gameweek concludes at the London Stadium where West Ham are treated to their first home game of the campaign against Huddersfield Town.

At the start of the season, this appeared to be a fixture which would have seen us back the Hammers’ assets for returns. Three games in and the outlook is very different.

The Terriers turn up undefeated and with no goals conceded. That form has seen the likes of goalkeeper Jonas Lossl and defender Zanka pick up 8.4% and 10.4% ownership respectively. Meanwhile, playmaker Aaron Mooy is backed by 12.9% having produced a goal and an assist to this point.

But West Ham have the best-supported player on show tonight.

Chicharito is part of 1.4 million squads and is backed by 159,000+ (3.3%) with the captaincy.

Significantly, he’ll be supported by Andy Carroll in the West Ham attack, in what appears to be a 3-5-2 set-up deployed by the under pressure Slaven Bilic.

Joe Hart is the next best owned West Ham asset in action, although 71% of his 500,000 owners have chosen to bench him ahead of tonight’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Salah + Morata/Jesus + Firmino

    Vs

    Salah + Lukaku + Hernandez

    No brainer right?

    1. laplana
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ditching Lukaku seems a bad idea though 😆

    2. laplana
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Dunno Why I included Salah

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Surprised you're considering Hernandez. He came off early tonight - I'm looking to sell him!

        1. laplana
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I own him 😆

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Do you think he'll play vs WBA? Concerned he came off.

            1. laplana
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              I just want him out regardless

        2. laplana
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          My move would be Mane + Hernandez + Lukaku to Salah + Morata/Jesus + Firmino

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah, do it.

  3. Garth Marenghi
    • 8 Years

    In light of the upcoming schedule: a hit for Cedric & Romelu out, Bavies & Harry in?

  4. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Who are Willian owners replacing him with? Everyone below 7m isn't very appealing... Already own Ritchie

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Keeping him for now. Other issues.

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'm getting Pogba.

      1. Recoba
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        same

    3. ponsio22
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso!

      Downgrade Willian to a 4.5, or a 5.5 mid you like. Then upgrade a defender

      Ayew.

    5. Sánchez
      • 11 Years

      I'm not sure what to do.
      Got him and PVA.
      Hate the 7.0 or less mids too

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        So much for the magnificent 7, hey?!

  5. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Who to get for Gabbiadini in a similar price bracket?
    Or keep and take the drop before CP?

    1. laplana
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Doesn't seem like anyone is worth having, Look upwards at Firmino and Vardy I guess

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Andy carroll

  6. cuervos
    • 7 Years

    What is the best defender for 4.5?

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think kiko if not injured

  7. Rik Waller
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Mane and Chicharito to ...

    A) Kane and Choupo-Moting
    B) Kane and Fabregas???

    Help me decide people... thanks

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A

    2. tafrère
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Choupo-Moting isn't classified as forward...

    3. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nor is Mane?

  8. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    A
    Foster (Elliot)
    Kolasinac, BAVIES, Suttner (Lowe, Long)
    Alli, SALAH, Mkhitaryan, Carroll (RLC)
    Kane, Lukaku, CHICHARITO

    or

    B (triple Utd attack too much?)
    Foster (Elliot)
    Kolasinac, STEPHENS, Suttner (Lowe, Long)
    Alli, POGBA, Mkhitaryan, Carroll (RLC)
    Kane, Lukaku, FIRMINO

    Thanks.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      B but Cedric or Maguire over Stephens

      1. Krafty Werks
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks but not a WC so Stephens would have to stay if B. Wouldn't make sense to take a -4 for Stephens > Cedric or Maguire i don't think?

  9. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Can't believe I managed to bench Lowe's 6pts 4 times in a row.

    1. michudagawd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I had him for the first three but benched him this GW.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I'm sure your success in spite of his failure makes the man feel a whole lot better.

  10. michudagawd

    Elliot
    Jones Suttner Bertrand
    Salah Alli Pogba Brady
    Jesus Lukaku Firmino

    Foster - Carroll Lowe Long

    1 FT, 0.9 itb

    I have enough for Kane in for Lukaku. I really want him for the Swansea game as he is the best captaincy candidate by far this gameweek.

    Should I do that move?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Lukaku should be decent vs Saints the following week though. I'd actually try and get Eriksen in.

  12. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Can I get away with this side and carry free transfer or do I need to make change? 0.5 m in bank so could do Hegazi to Maguire or Jones or Danilo to Davies (or both for -4)

    Elliot
    Kolasinac Danilo Hegazi Bertrand
    Eriksen Pogba Brady Atsu
    Lukaku Kane Firmino

    Foster Atsu Carroll Long

    Need Kane back ah!

    Can you see Bilic dropping Chicharito vs WBA now?

    1. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 8 Years

      No

    2. dunas_dog

        Hmm, what makes you all so sure?

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Chicha thrives on space, he wont get much of that vs WBA away. Can see him being subbed on.

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Is there any midfielder or forward worth it under £8.1m?

    Best move to go above that or stick to £4.5m and reinvest in defence?

    1. Guru Mediation
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think (and hope) richarlison will come good. Silva has got them all singing

    Here's my team.

    Elliot | Foster
    Hafazi | Jones | Stephens | Zanke | Mbembe
    Pogba | Eriksen | Mane | Moue | Caroll
    Lukaku | Kane | Hernandez

    Mane has to go for

    1. Coutinho
    2. Salah
    3. Mkitariyan
    4. Alli

    Let me know please

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years

      2

      Reason being, you're covered for Utd already with Pogba and Lukaku. You're also covered with Eriksen and Kane for Spurs. A Liverpool midfielder is a nice luxury to have, don't throw it away. I'd love to own Salah.

      1. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        ok so I have Kane and Eriksen, Jesus and Firms so no United cover. So I should switch Mane for Pogba then correct?

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I'd say so, yeah.

          1. Red Dagger ✪
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks. Tempted to go Salah but logic pushing me towards Pogba.

            1. The Royal Robin
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Coverage is key. You're right in choosing Pogba over Mkhi too IMHO. I'm a Mkhi owner but I'd love to swap, but can't bring myself to use a FT on it.

      2. Torres76
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks Robin it is. Might be bold and get Coutinho

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I'd wait and see on Coutinho, see how he goes when he returns.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      The hell are Hafazi, Zanke?

    3. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years

      Salah easy

      1. Torres76

    How did Lowe get the clean sheet's point?

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Subbed before the goals

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Because he didn't concede any goals.

    3. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Came off after 63

  20. A Team Of James McCleans

    So who else is loving Löwe?

    1. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Was a last minute decision going between him and Suttner. As usual made the wrong one.

    2. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      A very lucky CS tbh for him. Had to come off because Antonio was running him ragged

      1. A Team Of James McCleans
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Still 4 cs from 4

  21. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I'm really avoiding hits at all costs this season, even if it pains me. I am going to have to give Chicharito another week. However, would you say any hits are necessary on this lot?

  22. _figu

    If I save my FT options are:

    a) Yoshida (Palace away)
    b) Atsu (Stoke home)

    Another one would be 1st sub.

  23. Atwood
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Can I possibly sort out this lot without using my wildcard? I was really trying to keep it but my side is looking dire.

    Foster
    Jones - Naughton - Yoshida
    Alli - Willian - Mhikitaryan - Salah
    Lukaku - Kane - Kane

    Elliot - Carroll - Francis - Long

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure how you got two Kanes in there but I'd happily keep that ;p

      Willian rotation risk, Yoshida rotation risk are your only concerns so no need for WC.

      1. Atwood
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        You don't know about the double Kane cheat!? Nah one of those is Abraham.

        Abraham, Yoshida, Willian, Francis and Long all not really starting is a worry.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yoshida to Davies and downgrade Willian?

          1. Atwood
            • 14 Years

            Could be onto something there...

  24. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Am I the only 1 strongly considering Andy Carroll?

    Looking for a gabbi replacement for a max of 6.8m.

    At 5.9m Carroll is surely worth a throw of the dice???

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I had Carroll for about 20 GWs last season. Not a pleasant ride.

      1. laplana
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Wtf 😆

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Got him in when Austin got injured and kept him very much up until the DGWs. Played him most times when he was fit but benched him the one GW where he hauled.

    2. Pochecinno
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I dare you to

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Always worth a punt Flynny, they'll sling plenty his way

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        He's easily worth 5.9 if fit but the problem is his pain barrier is non-existing.

      2. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        My choice seems to be big Andy, Abraham or wood.....

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Big Andy Flynny, there maybe issues at West Ham but they are theoretically a better side than swa & bur

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Makes sense. But I think you need Pogba to cover Lukaku, not Mkhi.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Pogba or Mkhi makes no difference to the above

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Pogba has the potential to replace Lukaku's points. I don't think Mkhi does unless he starts shooting in the box and doesn't get rotated.

            Having one, both or none makes no difference as to whether I get rid of Lukaku or not, it's irrelevant.

            The question is can Jesus match his points for £1m less

              Surely you want the combination of players that get you the most points?

              That would be Jesus, Davies, Firmino and Pogba.

              Jesus, Davies, Firmino and Mkhi scores you a lot less.

                Right....but I don't have unlimited transfers

                  I'd make Pogba your FT for the following week if you do Jesus, Davies and Firmino.

      I like it
      Jesus over morata?

        Really like the look of Man City's fixtures and surely Jesus is the main man!

        1. Astronautovic
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          That's a point!

      not sure about losing Lukaku, do you have Pogba/Miki?

      1. andy85wsm

        I have Mkhi but it wouldn't matter if I didn't 🙂

      Morata for me ... Jesus if he played more minutes

    6. IWR

      Thinking about Lukaku to Jesus myself. Expect they'll deliver similar returns for a 1.2 saving.

      It's a yes from me.

      Quality move imo, you gotta get rid of Gabbi and your replacements look ideal as Jesus and Firmino will outscore Gabbi and Lukaku, and well Davies for Bertrand, no brainer...

      It's a no-brainer yes

    Shitarito is stinking up a lot of forward lines,what a disappointment hes been

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      But he got a brace not long ago. Stay patient.

        He needs chances created for him and thats just not happening at the moment,especially with lanzini out and antonio not delivering

      So overrated on here

      Yup lol, god damnit should've avoided that. Playing fantasy premier for 1st time and that's my only bandwagon so far. And tbh it was a pretty good one imo. Good fixtures and JRod (who I started with) looked awful.

    Is Hegazi finished or should we keep for longer?

      Love to know this

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say finished. If you got him for the bargain £4.5m then cash in...

    Might be ditching a free transfer for the first time in I can't remember:

    Foster (elliot)
    Alonso Bavies Cedric Jones (mbemba)
    Erikssen Pogba Richarlison (chalbaoh, tarroll)
    Kane (c) lukaku firmino (vc)

    0.1 itb 2 FT

    Obviously champions league injuries are a concern, but the only other things I can think of are a replacement for Foster or bringing a Watford defender in for Jones or Cedric, but I think both are worth waiting on for a bit. Any thoughts please? Cheers
