<h2><strong>Essential West Ham FPL Stats | Attacking Numbers</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-fantasy-football-best-west-ham-players-tips/"><strong>West Ham</strong></a>’s attacking <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> interestingly revolve around their <strong>775 crosses</strong>, which was good for 4<sup>th</sup> most in the division.</p>
<p>The crosses weren&#8217;t in vain either. The Hammers managed the <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> highest cross completion</strong> (23.9%), <strong>the most headed shots</strong> (107) and <strong>the most headed goals</strong> (15).</p>
<p>Moyes employed a counter-attack and cross style of play and has the personnel to do it well. They created the <strong>5<sup>th</sup> most chances from counter-attacks</strong> (21) and boasted the <strong>4<sup>th</sup> most assists</strong> (46).</p>
<p>Their ability to send perfect passes, and <strong>Jesse Lingard</strong>’s (£7.0m) wonder goals, are largely responsible for an expected assists (xA) of just <strong>31.92</strong>. The difference of 14.08 may not be sustainable, but “overproduction” certainly can be.</p>
<p>Conflictingly, West Ham’s <strong>expected goals on target</strong> was 6.27 less than their expected goals. Despite those low xG Lingard goals, overall, they still took 6.27 xG away when shooting on target. I’m not sure what to do with that one.</p>

<h2><strong>Essential West Ham FPL Stats | Defensive Numbers</strong></h2>
<p>I was surprised at how little stood out regarding West Ham’s defence.</p>
<p>Their <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> are mostly unremarkable, but not bad either. They have a <strong>balanced defence</strong> from a chances conceded perspective.</p>
<p>West Ham were a team that seemed as likely to keep a clean sheet against a top side as they were to concede a goal or two against a struggling side, therefore <strong>making their defenders must-starts</strong> in every game.</p>
<p>They are fortunate to count on a solid goalkeeper in <strong>Lukasz Fabianski (£5.0m). </strong>He had the <strong>4<sup>th</sup> fewest parries to the opposition</strong>, but even he can&#8217;t legislate a team that tied with Arsenal for the <strong>most own goals (4)</strong>.</p>
