I've used my FH instead of a wildcard, which I'll likely use next week.

Weird feeling with Haaland. Got him captain, but with the amount of people on TC, probably need him to do badly
Report duffy August 31, 2026 8:01 PM BST
It's an interesting week coming up, if you've only got Haaland as I do from City I'm leaning toward free hitting to get three City players in as only having Haaland on a triple captain doesn't seem enough against Coventry, problem with City's midfield is that it is going to become a minefield, they've now got Enzo and N'daiye incoming so it could be frustrating minutes wise as to who will play so I am looking at O'Reilly and Guehi and banking on a clean sheet and hope for something offensively from them.

Also I'd like to add another Liverpool player against Ipswich as well as adding Brighton, Brentford and Newcastle players and taking out Chelsea players.

Haalands EO overall will be massive , but it really only matters in your league really , if only 1 above has tc and some dont have him etc , it is different than if everyone else tc him , also its only 1 haaland score if you captain him against a tc , 2 goals with bonus is only 13 behind and you still have a tc for later on to claw it back , also haaland is rarely taken off but man city could be 3-0 up at half time and he could be taken off for the champions league .

Think Andy from LetsTalkFpl said last season that he doesn't really get given any leaks anymore since FPL moved the deadline further back, the one he gave last season relayed from twitter, didn't make much difference iirc, it was City team news, took the key players but was it Marmoush that started and was cack. Though it could have been a massive edge if it had worked out. That was the only real leak of notice I remember last season.

Haaland has mentioned fpl himself a few times, no doubt he feeds his Norwegian posse back home some team info, English football in Norway is massive.
