"A home fixture versus Wolves would normally be a prime time to captain Haaland and potentially play a Triple Captain chip. But his form is worrying, and there's always the threat he gets a rest - the striker has played every league game for City and started on Tuesday in the Champions League too. Egypt striker Omar Marmoush is back from the Africa Cup of Nations and could take Haaland's place."
"Jordan Pickford, Everton, keeper, 5.6m - Leeds (h) Pickford is the top-scoring FPL keeper again, with 100 points already. In the past five games, Everton have a league-high three clean sheets and, while they've struggled a bit at their new stadium, they face a Leeds side who are low scorers on the road, with just 11 goals in 11 games. James Tarkowski, Everton, 5.6m - Leeds (h) Another Everton asset worth the investment is Tarkowski, who has the second-most defensive contribution points (defcon) this season."
Erling Haaland has 14 points and one goal from his past five games after netting 19 in the previous 17 matches, and underlying metrics indicate a dip. A home fixture versus Wolves would usually prompt captaincy or a Triple Captain chip, but form worries and rotation risk loom because he has played every league match and started in midweek European action. Egypt striker Omar Marmoush has returned from the Africa Cup of Nations and could replace Haaland. More than three in four FPL managers own Haaland, so benching offers little benefit and alternative captain options seem prudent. The suggested team fits a 100m Free Hit budget and scored 45 points, five above the average, with Jordan Pickford and James Tarkowski highlighted for Everton’s defensive returns.
