West Ham United is gearing up for a home clash against AFC Bournemouth in Gameweek 22, aiming to extend their unbeaten streak to six games in the Premier League.
The Hammers' Quest for Victory
After two consecutive draws against Brighton & Hove Albion and Sheffield United, accompanied by an FA Cup exit to Bristol City, West Ham is eager to return to winning ways under the floodlights. As the excitement builds, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers face crucial decisions in the lead-up to kick-off.
Gameweek 22 Transfer Picks
The transfer deadline for Gameweek 22 is set for 6 pm on Tuesday, January 30, setting the stage for a thrilling midweek football spectacle. Here are some key picks to consider:
1. Phillips and Kudus' Potential Impact
Kalvin Phillips (£4.7m): The recent loan arrival from Manchester City could make his West Ham United debut against Bournemouth. Despite his modest price and minimal points this season, Phillips' defensive prowess makes him an intriguing FPL prospect.
Mohammed Kudus (£6.8m): Returning from a disappointing CAF Africa Cup of Nations campaign with Ghana, Kudus is poised to re-enter the Irons' lineup. With a successful run in FPL from Gameweek 10 onwards, he brings goals, assists, and valuable points to the midfield.
2. Maxwel Cornet's Confidence Boost
Maxwel Cornet (£5.2m): Following his first goal for West Ham against Sheffield United, Cornet is a budget-friendly midfield alternative. His performance earned him seven FPL points, showcasing his potential as a valuable asset.
Opponent Analysis: AFC Bournemouth
Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the opposition is crucial. Here's a closer look at AFC Bournemouth's key players:
1. Marcus Tavernier's Away Form
Marcus Tavernier (£5.4m): The midfielder arrives in east London with excellent away form, contributing significantly in the Cherries' recent matches on the road. With goals and assists, Tavernier poses a threat that FPL managers should be wary of.
2. Dominic Solanke's Scoring Prowess
Dominic Solanke (£7.1m): As the joint-third top scorer in the Premier League, Solanke is a force to be reckoned with. With 12 goals this season, including one against West Ham in their previous meeting, FPL managers should consider his consistent point-scoring ability.
