Fantasy Premier League: 3 reasons you should keep Erling Haaland, and 3 teams to target
With fixtures coming thick and fast, it is timely to look at the Norwegian’s opponents and teams with favourable fixtures and a new boss
The latest international break is over and Fantasy Premier League players will be glad to hear that there will not be another one until March.
Also, Premier League fixtures are about to start coming thick and fast, with the first week of December hosting a round of midweek fixtures before the Christmas run-in.
So, let us dive into the Erling Haaland (£15.2m) dilemma, whom to target in Gameweek 12 and transfer tips.
Backtrack on selling Haaland?
The Norwegian has been transferred out by almost 300,000 people this week, but he is still the highest-owned player, with more than 60 per cent of managers having him in their squad.
Here are three reasons you should keep him.
First, Haaland has been unlucky in not returning more than 13 points in his past three games. He scored two goals in those games against Brighton, Bournemouth and Southampton, but his combined expected goals (xG) was 4.59. He is also top of the xG league over the past five matches.
Haaland rarely underperforms and City’s creativity could be bolstered by the return of Kevin De Bruyne (£9.4m).
And City are playing against an already leaky Spurs team on Saturday that could again be without the injured Micky van de Ven (£4.6m).
