Attempts three shots Scamacca generated three shots (two on goal) in Friday's 2-0 loss against Brentford.
Impact Scamacca couldn't find the back of the net, but in a game where West Ham attacked constantly, Scamacca was one of the team's biggest threats. The Italian has failed to find the back of the net in seven league games, and he will try to snap that drought when the Hammers take on Leeds United on Jan. 4.

Starting Friday Scamacca (ankle) was named to the starting XI versus Brentford on Friday.
Impact Scamacca returns having missed the first match back from the World Cup break due to his ankle problem. Prior to the break, the forward had started eight straight matches in which he recorded two goals on 23 shots (six on target) and 10 chances created. With Scamacca seemingly fit, he should offer decent top-end fantasy value, though his production outside of goals is somewhat limited.

Impact Scamacca seems like a possible bench option at best given the manager's concern regarding his match fitness. Prior to the World Cup break, Scamacca started eight straight matches in which he recorded two goals on 23 shots (six on target) and 10 chances created. Once back to 100 percent, Scamacca should be a near-lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI.

Doubt for Arsenal Scamacca (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury and is a doubt for Monday's matchup against Arsenal, per coach David Moyes.
Impact Scamacca was forced off early during an exhibition last weekend against Fulham following a heavy challenge from Andreas Pereira.

The forward has scored two goals on 18 shots through his first nine games in England.

Finds net again in win Scamacca scored one goal from five shots (three on goal) and created two chances during Sunday's 3-1 win over Fulham.
Impact Scamacca took his time to find his rhythm but now has two goals in two games (both starts).

Creates chance in loss Scamacca subbed into Sunday's match against Brighton in the 62nd minute and he created a chance in the 2-0 defeat.
Impact Scamacca has come off the bench in all three Premier League matches so far, playing between 20-35 minutes each time. But with West Ham's struggles in front of goal to open the season (zero goals as a team so far), he might get an opportunity to start up front over Michail Antonio sooner rather than later.
