The "little pea" is back. Chicharito, returns to the Premier League having maintained his strong goal scoring record in La Liga and the Bundesliga with 35 goals and 13 assists during his three year absence (playing in 77 games). His first stint in the Premier League proved he has the attributes to succeed, having scored a goal every 131 minutes, contributing an attacking return (Fantasy Premier League (FPL) goals/assists) every 99 minutes. Out of Europe’s top leagues, the Bundesliga is the most similar in style to the Premier League. This, coupled with his previous Premier League experience, should mean he has no trouble settling back in at the London Stadium. Chicharito’s standout attribute is his finishing ability, which will not be rivalled by many in the Premier League. The Mexican rarely squanders chances when presented with them, largely helped by his adaptability; Being a good header of the ball, strong with either foot and agile to carve out opportunities with clever movement inside the box. From gameweek four to gameweek nine West Ham face Huddersfield, Swansea and Brighton at Home as well as West Brom and Burnley Away. This makes Chicharito a strong early Wildcard option.
