#3 Sebastian Haller (AVL) –
Sebastien Haller scored his third goal this season with his strike against Norwich and the Frenchman has already shown signs that he can cope with the Premier League’s physicality. Only A. Barnes (eight) and Pukki (11) have landed more SoT than Haller’s six, and both have played a game more. He has registered four ‘big chances’, only Rashford (five) has been afforded more.
This is no surprise as the Hammers have continued their all-out-attack approach from last season. Only Liverpool (13) and Man. City (18) have fashioned more ‘big chances’ than the Hammers’ 12, so the Frenchman is unlikely to be short of service in the penalty area.
Villa should prove very obliging opponents; the Birmingham outfit has allowed opponents more shots (77) than any team in the league and are sixth-worst for ‘big chances’ conceded with nine. At under 7% ownership at the time of writing, the Frenchman is a great differential and has kind fixtures for the next few weeks, making him value at 7.5m.
