GW8 Differentials: Sebastien Haller

The Scout says West Ham forward has all-round game to extend Crystal Palace’s poor away record

The Scout is selecting four overlooked players who could be set for a breakout Gameweek 8 in Fantasy Premier League.

Sebastien Haller (WHU) £7.4m

The West Ham United forward is owned by just 5.1 per cent of FPL managers for his home match against Crystal Palace.

Haller has settled quickly since arriving from German side Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer.

The target man has scored three goals and supplied an assist over his six appearances, averaging 5.3 points per match for Manuel Pellegrini’s men.

The underlying statistics further highlight Haller’s all-round potential.

Level with Vardy

Over the last four Gameweeks, his total of eight shots inside the penalty area has been bettered by only six FPL forwards, and matches the tally of Jamie Vardy (£8.9m).

Meanwhile, Haller has created seven chances, leaving him third among strikers.

Palace visit the London Stadium having lacked resilience on their travels.

Roy Hodgson’s side have conceded in all three of their away matches and lost 4-0 at Tottenham Hotspur on their last road trip.

Haller can profit from those frailties with his potential for goals and assists, and deliver more FPL points on Saturday evening.
