Erling HaalandIt truly is the Premier LeagueHis debut season was a success.
I doubt even the most passionate pundit would have predicted this blistering start to his life. Manchester City.
The 22-year-old broke many records already. He was the Premier League’s first player ever to score three home-hat-tricks in succession and he also scored his first three hattricks in the competition, in far fewer matches than any other player in its 30-year history.
In Fantasy Premier LeagueIn terms of goals, he has scored 14 goals and assisted with three more. He is a fantasy option that is indispensable and it is clear why.
Gameweek 12 will present a unique situation, however, in which City and Arsenalare still blank. The latter must play their postponed Europa LeagueOn Thursday, October 20, PSV Eindhoven will host a group game. City’s home game is also on Thursday.
This could present an opportunity for Fantasy Premier League managers to capitalise by selling Haaland (£12.1million) for Harry Kane (£11.4million) in Gameweek 11, then getting him back in for Gameweek 13.
Let’s look at the pros and cons of this strategy.
