So, now you know how to enter and join the West Ham Fans League, which Hammers players should you pick?

West Ham’s top Fantasy Premier League scorer from last season was goalkeeper Adrian (£5m) with 142, followed by Hammer of the Year Aaron Cresswell with 129 – both players were ever-present in the Barclays Premier League in 2014/15.

Cresswell (£5.5m) has been selected by 6.3% of managers so far, while striker Diafra Sakho (£6.5m), who managed 98 points last season, has been picked by 3.6% of managers.

Sakho’s Senegal teammate Cheikhou Kouyate (£5.5m) also totalled 98 points last term, but he has been selected by just 0.5% of managers this time around.

Carl Jenkinson (£5m) has returned for a second loan spell, having achieved 94 points last season – the same number as striker Enner Valencia (£6m) and five more than midfielder Mark Noble (£5.5m).

Andy Carroll, who managed 56 points in just 14 appearances last season and could prove to be a shrewd selection at £6.5m.

What about the new signings, you ask?

Well, France’s Ligue 1 assist leader from 2014/15 was Dimitri Payet, and the attacking midfielder is available for a team-high £7.5m. Payet has already been snapped up by 3.9% of managers.

The more defensive Pedro Obiang is priced at £5m, while Argentine forward Manuel Lanzini could prove a steal at £5.5m.

Elsewhere, Angelo Ogbonna is a potential bargain at £4.5m, while fellow defender and teenage star Reece Oxford is priced at just £4m.
