Haller leads West Ham attack as Fulham visit London Stadium

1,279 Comments
Share

David Moyes has trusted Sebastien Haller (£6.1m) with the centre-forward role as West Ham host Fulham in Gameweek 8.

The Frenchman has been filling in for the stricken Michail Antonio (£6.2m), this his second consecutive start since his colleague’s hamstring injury against Manchester City.

Offered another shot at that role, it means suggestions of Jarrod Bowen (£6.3m) operating as a false-nine, at least from the beginning, have been dashed.

He has been deployed on the right-hand side of attacking midfield, Pablo Fornals (£6.4m) the man on the other side.

Moyes keeps faith with the 3-4-3 formation that has led to so many positive performances recently, which features Arthur Masuaku (£4.5m) and Vladimir Coufal (£4.5m) as the wing-backs and Aaron Cresswell (£5.1m) on the left-hand side of the back-three.

Fulham go with the same front-four who starred in their recent 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

That sees Aleksandar Mitrovic (£5.8m) leads the Cottagers’ line with Ademola Lookman (£5.0m) and Bobby De Cordova-Reid (£5.3m) either side of Tom Cairney (£5.3m) in attacking midfield.

            I didn’t say it was bad, I just hate it. I had no idea what I really wanted to do with Foden or Puli so I just held them thinking I would have a better idea.... but no .... I really don’t

          It would set up your team for the long term though which has long lasting benefits.

          Once set up you can start making proactive transfers rather than constantly chasing and fixing your team.

            Very true, but tough to justify using the WC for that when I’ve saved this long. I expect double gwks around new year

          Should have found a way to keep Bruno in week 5 and just gotten Grealish instead of puli like I was going to do. Keep getting my head turned every time captain America gets near the pitch... killing my season really

    Went Zouma instead of Coufal, who I brought into my draft team as some kind of consolation prize. Not much of a consolation tbh

    How's this team for after the fixture swing (from 10 onwards):

    Martinez Steer
    Diaz Zouma Konsa Coufal Mitchell
    KDB Foden Ziech Mane Zaha
    Werner DCL Bamford

    Clearly can't play all 5 attackers so too much of a benching headache?
