      Fwiw, Watkins is the best captain this week and would be on him all the way if I owned. Can't go against Gandhi and captain Rashford, so that leaves Haaland. Expecting a 1 pointer, but you never know.

        Yeah but I feel like a lot of the "he'll probably score 4 lol" camp don't realise that his first 2-3 month form hasn't been replicated, particularly since the WC. He is a goal machine. He can haul. But not with the reliability that people expect

          Of course. Has done it in the FA Cup and UCL, though.

          I held through his injury and I'm just grateful he's back and there's all this rush to get and captain him as it should mean less damage to me from a Watkins haul.

    Might be proved wrong but I don’t see what giving Haaland less than say 30 minutes achieves in terms of both fitness and a test of that groin. If he breaks down when starting in the Bayern game thats more disruptive, surely better to confirm its up to the job today and if not they can plan a false 9/Alvarez route otherwise.
