Haaland FPL Gameweek 5: Buy Before Sunderland, Captain or Stay No-Haaland?

The short answer

Haaland remains £15.5m and is the early leading captain before Sunderland at home.

Verdict: BUY if the structure is sensible. Do not destroy a good squad only because of fear.

Buy or stay no-Haaland?

Buy when one or two sensible transfers get you there. Staying without him can still work if buying requires multiple hits and selling several strong assets.

Triple Captain?

Sunderland at home is attractive, but City play an EFL Cup tie Thursday before the Sunday league game. Saving remains valid.

OneFPL verdict

Best raw GW5 captain. Strong buy. Not mandatory at any cost.
