West Ham United continue their 2025/26 Premier League campaign when they travel to Nottingham Forest on Sunday in our final game before the first international break of the season.
With two Premier League defeats to Sunderland and Chelsea so far and an early Carabao Cup exit, Head Coach Graham Potter will be eager to register our first points of the campaign.
The Hammers are bidding for a first victory at the City Ground since 28 August 2011, when goals from Kevin Nolan, Carlton Cole and Winston Reid, and a Luke Chambers own-goal, earned a 4-1 triumph en route to promotion from the second tier.
All told, as we seek a response to a difficult start, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers may see selecting Hammers as a means of solidifying or improving their team’s position in their respective leagues.
Both sides will be full of individuals looking to provide the touch of magic required to make the difference on the day, meaning there are a number of decisions to be made in the lead-up to kick-off.
The Gameweek 3 transfer deadline is set for 11am on Saturday 30 August ahead of a mouth-watering feast of weekend action.

More Brazilian brilliance from Paquetá?
Lucas Paquetá (£5.9m) has enjoyed a strong start to his own season, despite the Hammers enduring a tough start as a collective.
Just six minutes into our Gameweek 2 match against Chelsea, our No10 gave us the lead with an outrageous strike, striding goalwards before unleashing a left-foot strike that flew into Robert Sánchez's top corner to earn nine FPL points.
