West Ham-A

If you don’t think West Ham deserves an A for their season to date then you might want to get your head examined by a professional. They are the second most surprising team in the Premier League after Leicester City and have seemingly pushed every right button at the right time so far this season. Sadly, their luck may be about to change given the significant injury to talisman Dimitri Payet.

The French attacker has been deadly on the season for the Hammers and his presence will be sorely missed. Still, as I articulated earlier, this grade is about what you’ve done, not what you’re about to do. As such, it’s a comfortable A for West Ham.
