Is Haaland worth the price? Pick Rogers or Palmer? Five key FPL questions
BBC Sport's team of Fantasy Premier League experts debate some of the new season's big talking points to help you select your team before Friday's deadline.
Three days until the start of the Fantasy Premier League season, BBC Sport's team of FPL experts have discussed key questions to help managers begin with a strong start. Erling Haaland, Manchester City's star striker, has risen in price to £15.5m after scoring 239 points last season, but his World Cup absence may impact his early campaign. Bruno Fernandes remains a solid option at £12m, but there are few premium options in this season's lineup.
Gianni Buttice suggests having Haaland to start, as his presence early on can prevent a significant drop in points. He also recommends Bryan Mbeumo (£8m) as a reliable attacking option, especially after a full pre-season. Luke Shaw (£4.5m) and Harry Maguire (£5m) are viable choices for the defense, with Senne Lammens (£5m) as a solid backup goalkeeper.
For Chelsea, Joao Pedro (£7.5m) is a strong contender, while Xabi Alonso's decision to use a 3-4-3 formation may provide interesting attacking options from Palmer (£9.5m) and Rogers (£7.5m).
