Manchester City's nightmare run is prompting Fantasy Football managers to have second thoughts about one of FPL's main attractions ahead of City's Premier League title clash at Liverpool
Erling Haaland may have been back among the goals in midweek, but Tuesday night's outing was anything but a success for Manchester City.
After 10 goals in his opening five League games this season, two goals in his last seven gameweeks won't appease the millions of FPL managers who are relying on him for points. True, Haaland is still the top-scoring striker in fantasy football with an average of seven points per match, but an eye-watering price tag of £15.1m brings high expectations indeed.
"As for Haaland this weekend? I know from experience it's foolish to turn your back on him, even before a trip to Liverpool; he's just as likely to score a hat-trick at Anfield as he is to score none. The reason Pep Guardiola signed Haaland is also his weakness in this City team; he was meant to be the finishing touch to a slick machine, the ruthless goalscorer on hand to deliver the fatal blow. Now that machine is stuttering, and Haaland can tend to look a little isolated.
"With games against Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace coming up after Liverpool, Haaland has a run of games coming up that will act as a good indicator of whether his Champions League brace on Tuesday was a flash in the pan or not. If he fails to fire, then I'll sell him and monitor his performances ahead of playing my wildcard." David Byrom
