After a tumultuous start in the league, West Ham have slowly and steadily performed over the weeks and now sit at the 10^th spot. Dimitri Payet’s saga has shifted our attention to another attacking midfielder in Manuel Lanzini who has been in good form for the Hammers. A part of just 0.5% of all squads, Lanzini is available at a price of £ 6.3m. The Argentine also takes free kicks for the club which makes him an additional threat.

The Hammers host Manchester City this week in a fixture that shall definitely be keenly contested. The City defence has been leaky and the team has conceded 8 goals in their last 5 matches. The Citizens dodgy defence has let them down on numerous occasions and this fixture could prove that once again.

Next 3 fixtures: Man City(H), Southampton(A), West Brom(H)
