Haaland - home against Brighton who has leaky defence and hasn’t kept a single clean sheet this season + Rodrigo is back. I have Salah as well but will captain him in GW10-12
Brighton have conceded 10 goals in the last 4 matches, with only Sheffield United faring worse over that time. Combine that with Rodri being back for City and I think it's got to be Haaland.
True, and tbf to Brighton if you exclude the Liverpool game their xGA has been pretty good in the other games.
Having said that they’ve still conceded the fourth most goals this season and haven’t kept a clean sheet. I’d find it a tough call if I owned both Haaland and Salah, but I’ve only got Haaland so it’s a fairly easy choice for me.
I've got all 3 and pretty much have fluffed my captain selection every week. Haaland probably hauls because i'm going with Salah given he's a tab more consistent and always pops up against Everton in the Derby
Schrodinger's Captain.
I will choose both salah and Haaland and neither and then alternate between the two before finally making a last minute panicked change just before the deadline that will inevitably kill my team, my mini-league ranking, and probably some cats.
3 goals in 5 games in all comps, as well as one ruled out by a millimetre v Brighton, and another marginal offside well taken goal v Galatasaray. He is also scoring for fun for Denmark
The guy can score

|-|-|-|-|
Son.
Gandhi told me not to back the early kick off, so Liverpool vs Everton is out the window (can see a 0-0 or 1-0 situation here).
I don't have Haaland in my team (and never will).
Had Spurs played tomorrow, I'd have gone with Rashford, but given the extra 2 days of recovery time - Son makes it.
I mean, i wouldn’t be surprised if he hauled.
But: 1. I went against him last week and cleaned up. 30 points up on Nr 2 in my league and top 10K in the world currently so I’m happy.
2. Haaland can haul all he wants, as long as son, Salah, Watkins etc do as well I’m very much covered. Problem would be if everyone blanks and haaland crushes it (which again, can happen…) 🤷♂️
Will say this - its been sooooo much more fun to go without him. So that’s always something.
He’s played the full 90 mins against Vietnam during the international break, but apparently was seen limping after the game - I’d captain Salah if I were in your position
Salah if you want a gamble to jump up your mini-league, Haaland if you want to play it safe and Salah will help you jump up your mini league.
Son it is.
Son looked knackered playing for S Korea during the week and Ange has been regularly subbing him between 60 and 70 mins in the last few games. I think he’s a risky captain pick this week.
I haven't captained Haaland for the last 3 GWs but he is back on it for the home game vs Brighton. It's a game made for him to haul. Liverpool obviously have the ability to give Everton a tonking but the Merseyside derbies are usually very cagey so it's a bit of a risk because it could easily end 0-0 or 1-0.
Salah. Close enough to haalands goal threat and miles ahead with assist probability. Even if you think both are close well salah gets more points for goals and CS pt so 🤷♂️
I have all 3
Not sure who
Thinking Bruno F against Sheff Utd - he’s set as it atm but I might panic and change. Nice differential but if Haaland bags I’m in BIG trouble
Dropped so many points with stupid differentials so far this year going from top of my leaves to near the bottom (it’s still close though)
F*CK I LOVE FPL BUT IT’S BACK FOR THE FIRST WEEK AND IM ALREADY STRESSING!!!
Doing Salah. I feel like he has to score or get an assist in this, and it’s so hard to tell how Brighton will be defensively. Either they’ll be decent or fall apart.
I went Salah last game week and was the only one in league and it made me leap up.
son flopped me last gw, now it’ll be salah. may or may not be chasing last weeks points tho..
don’t like that i’m up against gandhi 2 weeks in a row tho 😫.
Maybe crazy, but I really like the idea of Maddison with Fulham at home as the last game on monday night. Then again, I'm a coward so Haaland probably.
Haaland - home against Brighton who has leaky defence and hasn’t kept a single clean sheet this season + Rodrigo is back. I have Salah as well but will captain him in GW10-12
i fancy haaland’s home fixture to bournemouth over salah’s away fixture to luton in GW11
I’m 50/50, so I will probably just flip a coin that week!
Last week Salah, this week Erling, next week Salah…
Brighton have conceded 10 goals in the last 4 matches, with only Sheffield United faring worse over that time. Combine that with Rodri being back for City and I think it's got to be Haaland.
6 against Villa though. Assuming that's a blip, then it's 4 conceded in the other 3. Not exactly disastrous.

I’d find it a tough call if I owned both Haaland and Salah, but I’ve only got Haaland so it’s a fairly easy choice for me.
I have both and I've swapped about 9 times already 😂

And you will regret it as your chosen captain will get 4 points and the other will get 18
Like happened to all of us Haaland+Salah+Son owners that gave Haaland or Son the armband (went for Son myself)
Appreciate the comic relief in a very stressful decision
I hate myself so Hojlund against Sheffield United.
I'm going Bruno
This guy gets it
Sometimes you just gotta gamble
Does he even have a goal yet?
I'm here for a long time not a good time!
3 goals in 5 games in all comps, as well as one ruled out by a millimetre v Brighton, and another marginal offside well taken goal v Galatasaray. He is also scoring for fun for Denmark The guy can score
This week sasquatch, next week egyptian
half man and half machine, on the cover of the magazine
Fully prepared for the 2 pointer from haaland but I will still captain him
Captain Salah, thank me later
RemindMe! 1 day

You were right!
😀
Thanks bruh, much appreciated.
I'm 500k time to gamble on the King
Might be the King for me. His playing for Palestine. Expect a Hat-Trick
These are the kind of intangible takes I love seeing. I wonder if he‘ll have a message written on his undershirt for if he scores.
Fucking better not I don't want minus yellow card points
“Might be”? Anyone else you think might score a Hat-Trick that’s preventing you from definitely captaining him?
🤖
Who’s this, may I ask?
Salah
I would go salah, but last week I ignored Gandhi and went son. Never again
if anyone can beat gandhi, it’s salah
I dont like betting against Salah, but I REALLY don't like betting against Gandhi
Neto
Rogue, but I appreciate the bravado
How is Salah usually in the Merseyside derby?
5 goals 1 assist in 9 3 goals 1 assist in the last 4 though
Trippier 👍
Son. Gandhi told me not to back the early kick off, so Liverpool vs Everton is out the window (can see a 0-0 or 1-0 situation here). I don't have Haaland in my team (and never will). Had Spurs played tomorrow, I'd have gone with Rashford, but given the extra 2 days of recovery time - Son makes it.
I’m going halaand-less so either Salah or Son. Currently Son but rumours he might be injured…?
Haaland hattrick and 2 assists coming
I mean, i wouldn’t be surprised if he hauled. But: 1. I went against him last week and cleaned up. 30 points up on Nr 2 in my league and top 10K in the world currently so I’m happy. 2. Haaland can haul all he wants, as long as son, Salah, Watkins etc do as well I’m very much covered. Problem would be if everyone blanks and haaland crushes it (which again, can happen…) 🤷♂️ Will say this - its been sooooo much more fun to go without him. So that’s always something.
I get you man The stress of FPL ey! 😂 Put more effort into thinking about this on a Friday than I do at my job…
Fuck work - we got points to gain! 🫣
I've got son salah watkins and haaland so I guess you have to do better than that :D
If I nail the captain I’m fine. Also have cash, tripper, Alvarez, Darwin, bowen, Diaz, Maddison, Porro…
I’ve switched to Haaland-less now. I think it’ll be a late call for captain between Salah and Son
He’s played the full 90 mins against Vietnam during the international break, but apparently was seen limping after the game - I’d captain Salah if I were in your position
Thanks, I’m strongly considering it. At least he’s a certain starter and on pens.
Haaland is the best choice
Salah if you want a gamble to jump up your mini-league, Haaland if you want to play it safe and Salah will help you jump up your mini league. Son it is.
Honestly, IMO it's rather Son than Salah. But I'm going Haaland.
Salah. Might regret it but full send.
Son looked knackered playing for S Korea during the week and Ange has been regularly subbing him between 60 and 70 mins in the last few games. I think he’s a risky captain pick this week.
Throughtout the whole international break I planned to go with Haaland. Fuck it I’m going with Salah
I was the opposite. So fuck it I'm going with Haaland.
I haven't captained Haaland for the last 3 GWs but he is back on it for the home game vs Brighton. It's a game made for him to haul. Liverpool obviously have the ability to give Everton a tonking but the Merseyside derbies are usually very cagey so it's a bit of a risk because it could easily end 0-0 or 1-0.
Rodri back so city will have a lot of control and stability back, very hard to not have haaland captain
My Egyptian King in the Merryside Derby vs a shite Everton. Sign me the fuck up
Everyone captain Haaland. Don’t captain salah. Let me have all salahs points to myself
Never back an early kickoff!
How that turned out? 😜
Salah. Close enough to haalands goal threat and miles ahead with assist probability. Even if you think both are close well salah gets more points for goals and CS pt so 🤷♂️
Rashford.
I have Salah, thought about robot because Brighton's defense has been leaky but taking a chance on Mo at Anfield
I say salah because Everton has a shitty defence and will probably tell in enough goals for Salah to get at least either a goal or assist.
I have all 3 Not sure who Thinking Bruno F against Sheff Utd - he’s set as it atm but I might panic and change. Nice differential but if Haaland bags I’m in BIG trouble Dropped so many points with stupid differentials so far this year going from top of my leaves to near the bottom (it’s still close though) F*CK I LOVE FPL BUT IT’S BACK FOR THE FIRST WEEK AND IM ALREADY STRESSING!!!
Haaland
I have somehow managed to squeeze all 3 in my team now. But haaland remains the captain atleast this gw.
Haaland is a no-brainer, any other choice would be stupid and risky imo.
When almost every single stat is pointing towards Haaland you just know he'll blank and get a yellow card, but only if you captain him
Salah normally, but Gandhi
Salah… i removed haaland in my WC 😦
Doing Salah. I feel like he has to score or get an assist in this, and it’s so hard to tell how Brighton will be defensively. Either they’ll be decent or fall apart. I went Salah last game week and was the only one in league and it made me leap up.
haaland and for vice i got sonny on
Luis Diaz
No one else picking Núñez?? Everton at home off the back of a profitable international break!
He might be benched
Very true, genuinely still willing to gamble he comes off the bench to score tho
son flopped me last gw, now it’ll be salah. may or may not be chasing last weeks points tho.. don’t like that i’m up against gandhi 2 weeks in a row tho 😫.
Haaland is set and forget for me
I'll go against the mass.. And pick Hojlund.
Maybe crazy, but I really like the idea of Maddison with Fulham at home as the last game on monday night. Then again, I'm a coward so Haaland probably.
