Erling Haaland (£15.0m) stole the headlines on a busy day of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) action.
Captained by almost four million, Triple Captained by around 475,000 and not owned by 45% of FPL managers: it was a polarising day thanks to the Norwegian’s treble against Ipswich Town.
Son Heung-min (£10.0m) hauled in Tottenham Hotspur’s 4-0 demolition of Everton, while there were goals for budget-friendly picks Joao Pedro (£5.5m), Danny Welbeck (£5.5m), Emile Smith Rowe (£5.5m) and Morgan Gibbs-White (£6.5m) elsewhere.
And Arsenal did what Arsenal do, keeping a clean sheet on the road – even if they did ride their luck.
