Investing in West Ham United now will pay off due to the following reasons-

  1. Affordable players - Players from West Ham United are incredibly affordable, making them FPL managers' favorite investments. In-form players like Decla Rice, Manuel Lanzini, Tomas Soucek, and even Vladamir Coufal are all available at a price less than £6m. What's more? They can reap huge rewards in FPL game weeks.
  2. Easy Fixtures - From Gameweek 21 to Gameweek 27, only the match against Manchester United is a relatively difficult one for West Ham. This suggests that they could secure more clean sheets and score more goals. Winning these easy games would be crucial for their charge for the Champions League places.
  3. Good form - In their brilliant victories in the last two matches, they scored a total of seven goals on away grounds. Their spectacular form is likely to continue. This is mouthwatering for FPL managers, as West Ham players are bringing in lots of FPL points for their backers.

Whom to invest in?

  1. Jarrod Bowen - Jarrod Bowen has been instrumental in West Ham's recent success. He bagged four assists in his last two matches. He has assisted an incredible 12 goals and has scored three more, making him an FPL favorite. With a worth of £6.7 million and a total of FPL 99 points, he is a reasonably priced player as compared to his superb returns. Position - Midfielder, Value - £6.7m
  2. Manuel Lanzini - Lanzini has played very few minutes this season but he has already delivered brilliant outputs in FPL. He has scored four goals and assisted one more as he gradually secured his place in the starting eleven this season. In his last match, he scored two goals and secured an incredible 15 FPL points to the delight of his backers. Position - Midfielder, Value - £5.8m
  3. Tomas Soucek - Soucek has had a relatively quiet season so far but his reliable presence in the midfield supplemented their attacking charge ahead. His attacking role will increase now as Benrahma will be out for international duty, possibly making Moyes push Soucek forward. FPL managers should expect big returns from him in Benrahma's absence. Position - Midfielder, Value - £5.7m
  4. Michail Antonio - Antonio has been absolutely sensational this season. He is leading West Ham's attacking charge ahead, and therefore he guarantees you FPL points in the form of goals and assists. He has scored an incredible eight goals and has assisted six more, scoring a total of 92 FPL points and he is just getting started. Position - Forward, Value - £7.8m
