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.
As the Fantasy Premier League season kicks off, BBC Sport's team of experts have weighed in on the most pressing questions surrounding player selection. Haaland's record-breaking price tag of £15.5m has left many managers wondering if the Man City striker is worth the investment. Pras argues that Haaland's captaincy is essential for an early lead, while Gianni maintains that a balanced squad can still be achieved without him.
Heisenberg, however, remains firm in his belief that Haaland is worth the commitment, cautioning that his absence could significantly impact a team's ranking. Bruno Fernandes, the second-highest FPL scorer last season, is still a strong option, with Gianni suggesting that Bryan Mbeumo and Luke Shaw could be viable alternatives. The debate extends to Chelsea's new manager Xabi Alonso, who has signed wing-backs Morgan Rogers and Cole Palmer.
Holly believes that Palmer's potential outweighs Rogers, but Heisenberg leans towards Rogers for a £2m saving. Ultimately, the experts suggest monitoring both players over the first few weeks before making a decision.
