Haaland is still 100% my first pick, followed by Trent, also a no brainer for me. Salah too will probably be in there. I've just done a first draft and even with those 3 expensive choices, it wasn't too difficult to put a decent team (with poor bench) together.I'm sure you all got the same email, player prices for this season are now up on site!
"With Erling Haaland costing a joint-record £14.0m, is the Man City forward still a must-have in your £100m squad or will you dare to head into Gameweek 1 without him?"
14m is pretty hefty, time to think outside the box I think
I'm tempted to go without him but I know 99% of teams will have him, so you either just select him to keep up which is crappy but is what it is, or you hope for your differentials to perform very well - always a gamble.Haaland is still 100% my first pick, followed by Trent, also a no brainer for me.

I think FPL should have put Haaland and the like even more expensive. Limiting us to 2 players per club would have spiced it up too imo. Last season with 3 city, 3 arsenal and a couple of ManU or LFC players for most of the season meant I only had to dip into other teams for a couple of players (one was Tripper all season) and cheapy bench warmers. It all became a little formulaic.
