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.

      Mitrovic is even worse. Why didnt he shot ffs

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        No he is bloody not. Been our talisman for years, our success is down to his hard work. Lookman is an arrogant idiot, should be thrown to the wolves now. Don't ever want to see him in a Fulham shirt again.

    Mitrovic might actually kill him

  11. BenDavies
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I am very confused why Mitrovic did not take the penalty. Can someone explain what happened?

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He missed last one

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lookman took the ball off him

      1. BenDavies
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Absolutely ridiculous Mitrovic owners got screwed by a petulant child

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Because Lookman is a tw*t, plain and simple.

    Right, what actually happened there? Bet365 said goal, then goal disallowed.

    1. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Lookman missed a penalty

  25. BeaversWithAttitude
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    God is a West Ham fan, who knew?

  26. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    When will players ever learn not to throw their leg towards an opposition players leg in the penalty area? Especially when your team is leading 1-0 in injury time!! West Ham lucky although the whistle for full time should have gone before that as injury time was up.

  27. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Great value budget defenders like Kilman, James, Lamptey, Coufal, and KWP dampens the appeal of the more pricey defenders.

    Value is relative.

    1. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yessir - can't wait to fill my team with them and go bigger up top on WC

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Is James cheap? I need to check, I have him but I didnt think he was cheap

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        5.0m

        Potentially the best value player in the game.

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ah yea I guess that is cheap really, I always think sub 5mil is cheap. But in reality even Chilwell at 5.5 or whatever he is, is cheap

  28. GROBARI
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Baps?

  29. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Lookman had double West Ham defence on his FPL. Had to be done.

      Its not funny. Shows he's just a kid, doesn't give two sh*ts about the club. Pay him tens of thousands a week to do that, no thanks

      1. Seanigula
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Why would they let some guy who’s played a few games for them take them over Mitro? No surprise when they get relegated

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          God knows, Cairney should have put his foot down. It's shocking, so unprofessional.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Feel bad for Fulham tbh, I did laugh. But they are sure relegation candidates, even 1 point would have helped. That was a massive mistake on Lookmans part, as you guys said, age is clearyl a factor. Someone more experienced would know not to even attempt anything like that
