Question 1

Should I captain Haaland in Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

It depends - Haaland is a reasonable option but not the obvious armband choice this week.  Haaland has been out of form recently, averaging just 0.0 pts/game over the last 6 gameweeks. Haaland faces Bournemouth (H) in Gameweek 1 - a workable fixture, neither easy nor particularly tough.  With 73.5% ownership, not captaining Haaland is a significant differential decision. You would need a strong reason to look elsewhere.  No injury concerns flagged at the time of writing.  With a tough fixture and modest expected points, Haaland is not a captain recommendation this week unless your options are limited.

Question 2

Should I transfer Haaland in before Gameweek 1?

Accepted Answer

It is worth considering, but the case is not as clear-cut as it might appear.  At £15.5m, Haaland has registered 27 goals and 8 assists this season for 239 points in total.

Is Haaland worth £15.5m in FPL?
