Haller leads West Ham attack as Fulham visit London Stadium

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.

    Casual wins

      This casual thing is nonsense. He's obviously a good pick.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        This casual nonsense keeps rearing it's ugly head when someone who somebody doesn't own gets points. Makes them look pathetic.

        Casuals sold him 😀

        Yep - basically anyone with players he hasn't got are casuals

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years

      Yawn.

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

      Casuals always win

    4. FPL price manipulators are …
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      2.6% ownership. The only casuals who own him are the ones on FFS

      Soucek is the exact opposite of a casual pick. He's a wise person's pick

      I feel like your avatar is perfect for this statement, he is shouting "Casuals win"

    Martinez
    Chilwell Lamptey Dallas (Lewis)
    Salah Sterling Rashford Son Jota
    DCL Bamford (Brewster)

    Money ITB to do Son (or Rashford) to KDB.

    Stick to the plan? 2.4m available
