An unbeaten start to 2023/24 means plenty of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers will cast an eye over West Ham United players for the Gameweeks ahead.
While the visit of Manchester City and a trip to Liverpool do not promise big points, there will still be opportunities for Hammers players to make themselves worthy picks for those two games.
Make sure you note an early FPL transfer deadline then, with Gameweek Four starting on Saturday 16 September 2023 at 11am.
On whufc.com and our Official Programme, we’ll be giving you tips and tricks and Hammers to watch across the season!

Congratulations to Sushant Sharma, who secured the August Manager of the Month award after his team Top G’s scored 223 FPL points.
Bowen’s on fire!
Midfielder Jarrod Bowen (£7.1m) leads all West Ham players with 30 FPL points, having scored three goals, registered one assist and picked up five bonus points along the way.
Bowen netted twice in the 2-2 home draw with Manchester City in May 2022, so he knows how to breach Pep Guardiola’s defence.
The England international has netted in all three of the Hammers’ away Premier League games so far and will look to continue that perfect record when he travels to Anfield.
Bowen has never scored at Liverpool’s home ground previously, and missed a penalty there last season, but the way the No20 is playing that could well change next weekend.
Just 9.8% of FPL managers own Bowen, so he could be a differential if you select him when others shy away.
Zouuuuuuuuuu
Captain Kurt Zouma (£4.5m) has led by example so far this season, helping himself to 17 FPL points along the way.
The France defender netted the winner at Luton Town before the international break, when his three bonus points helped him to a season-high eleven points.
While a lack of clean sheets have hit Zouma’s overall numbers, he is another Hammer who could provide a welcome if unexpected boost to your FPL team.

Opposition Watch
It is something of a shock that 8.0% of FPL managers do not have Erling Haaland (£14.1m) in their squad!
The Norway striker has been almost unstoppable so far in 2023/24, scoring six goals and assisting a seventh in four Premier League appearances, including a hat-trick in a 5-1 win over Fulham before the international break.
Those 20 points took Haaland to 39 total FPL points – eleven more than the second highest-scoring forward… his Manchester City teammate Julián Álvarez (£6.7m)!
