FPL: The 5 Best West Ham United Players For Your 2022-23 Season Fantasy Team

West Ham United had a historic season in 2021/22. They reached the semi-finals of the Europa League and finished 7th in the Premier League in what was an inspirational run last season. Under David Moyes, West Ham have consistently improved every season despite not spending too much in the transfer market.

That being said, let’s have a look at the best players from West Ham United for your 2022/23 fantasy team based on their performances last season.

5. Pablo Fornals (£5.5m)

Pablo Fornals had a productive season for West Ham United and was a key part of David Moyes’ side. Fornals was deployed mainly on the left side of the attack, where his creativity came to the fore.

He scored 6 goals and assisted 3 in the Premier League last season while also creating 10 big chances, the most in his team. Fornals also recorded an exceptional 4.5 progressive passes per game in the 2021/22 Premier League season. He had an xG of 5.0 and recorded 87 shot-creating actions (2.4 per game) for the Hammers as well.

Apart from those compelling stats he racked up 117 points last season and is surely a great squad player to have in your fantasy side. Pablo Fornals will once again be a key element of David Moyes’ resilient West Ham side and could prove to be a great budget pick for your fantasy team at this knockdown price.

4. Łukasz Fabiański (£5.0m)

Lukasz Fabianski was excellent for West Ham United last season. The Polish shot stopper was one of the most important players for Moyes’s side in a historic season for the London club.

He registered a 69% save percentage in the Premier League 2021/22. He also recorded a 50% success rate in penalties saved. His figures for distribution were also impressive with 5.9 long balls and 2.2 chipped passes completed per game.

Fabianski scored 136 points last season and is a great pick as a second choice goalkeeper for your fantasy side. He will once again be a pivotal player for David Moyes and will look to have another strong season.

3. Saïd Benrahma (£6.0m)

Another player who went under the radar but was excellent for his side is Benrahma. He had a slow start to his West Ham career and took some time to adjust to the Premier League.

However, last season, he started to put in impressive performances and his consistency also improved considerably. He scored 8 goals and provided 6 assists in 32 league appearances last season. Benrahma also had an xG of 5.1 and 69 shot-creating actions with 2.1 per game in the Premier League in 2021/22.

Benrahma has always been a silky player who is great to watch. However, effectiveness in key moments was lacking in his overall gameplay, and David Moyes has improved that aspect of his game on the pitch.

Said Benrahma is expected to further improve and perhaps get into double figures for G & A next season and with a total points tally of 138 points last season, he is an interesting pick for your fantasy team going into the new season.

2. Michail Antonio (£7.5m)

One of West Ham’s most prolific goalscorers, Antonio earned the second most points out of all West Ham players last season. The Jamaican international scored 10 goals in 36 Premier League appearances. He also provided 8 assists and created 7 big chances. Antonio had an xG of 11.1 and an npxG of 10.8 last season as well.

Antonio had the second-most goal involvements for West Ham in the Premier League in 2021/22. Also, he was joint top for key passes per game. With 102 shot-creating actions (2.8 per game) last season, Antonio is a formidable choice up front and could prove to be an excellent squad player to have in your fantasy team.

With 140 points last season and his high work rate and electric pace which is key for West Ham, Antonio could be a useful pick at £7.5m.

1. Jarrod Bowen (£8.5m)

One of West Ham’s most effective & standout players, Bowen has exceeded all expectations and was the highest point-scoring player for the Hammers in 2021/22.

He had a fantastic season scoring 12 goals and assisting 10 in 36 Premier League appearances. His influence on David Moyes’ side was enormous throughout the season, and his consistency was impressive as well.

Bowen had an xG of 11.1 and an xA of 5.7 in the Premier League which he exceeded. He also recorded 2.6 shot-creating actions per game and had the most goal involvements for West Ham last season while also creating 9 big chances, the second most in the team, just 1 behind Fornals.

A consistent performer, Bowen would be one of the finest picks from West Ham for your fantasy team going into 2022/23.
