SELL HAALAND?

Those that own Haaland can consider themselves ridiculously unlucky over the last few weeks.

Every single week he’s top of the underlying numbers but isn’t converting the chances into goals.

I do think that if you still own him, now is a good time to sell.

City have two tough fixtures in the next two (Liverpool and Forest) so this is the perfect time to move him on.

If you are selling, just be aware that you may want him back for City’s very nice run of 5 fixtures from GW18 so have a plan for that.

Also be aware that Haaland’s underlying numbers have been fantastic so don’t be surprised if he starts banging goals again.

FIXTURES TO TARGET

BRIGHTON

Starting this week, Brighton have a run 6 fantastic fixtures, starting with Southampton at home.

Two tough fixtures in GW19 and GW20 then another small run of really nice fixtures so Brighton players can be held for a while.

João Pedro is by far the best Brighton player to own as he’s on penalties and everything goes through him when he plays.

Welbeck, Mitoma, Dunk, Van Hecke, Estupiñan and Verbruggen are all great too.

CHELSEA

Chelsea’s run is arguably the best of any team for the next 10 GWs.

The only tough fixture in the next 12 is City in GW23 but if City keep performing like they are now then even that fixture might be ok.

Palmer is definitely the best play to own from Chelsea as, similar to J Pedro, he’s on penalties and everything goes through him.

Jackson, Madueke, Fofana, Colwill, Sanchez and Cucurella are also great.

WOLVES

Wolves are in the middle of their nice run of fixtures.

The last 4 were good and we saw huge returns in those from Cunha but the next 5 fixtures are even better.

Cunha and Aït-Nouri are the best players to own from Wolves.

Strand-Larsen and Semedo are also good budget options.

CAPTAINCY

This week is an interesting one captaincy wise as Liverpool and City play each other.

There are plenty of good options to choose from.

Check out the YouTube video below to see the top 10 players in my captaincy model as neither Salah nor Haaland are in the top 3!

MY TEAM SELECTION

This is how my team currently looks with 3FTs and £0.2m in the bank.

My plans this week depend on whether I think Garnacho starts or not.

If I think Garnacho starts then I will likely roll.

If I don’t think he starts then I will do Raul to João Pedro and bench Garnacho.

I will be posting a team selection YouTube video later today (Thursday evening) discussing my future plans.

If you have any specific questions on anything in this preview or anything related to your team then drop me a message on Instagram or Twitter @BradMayorFPL.

Best of luck!
