I keep making drafts that aren't Haaland+Salah and the problem is that this combo makes a perfect (C) for every week. One or the other would just mean that player is the perma captain every week. Having both means you can toggle their captancies and get two games vs promoted teams and zero games vs top teams for your premium captain. One player with a captain armband and a hattrick can outperform the entire squad of some other managers.
@@Vanhaomena I’m a huge advocate of haaland + salah, for me it depends on how you feel about the budget players you’d have in a haaland salah team, I think it’s worth the risk
He is when you captain him. He's capable of scoring hattricks multiple times a season. You want to be aiming for 60+ points a week to be in the top 10%. If you captain him on those weeks, that's literally 1/3 to 1/2 your points target. He is capable of getting double digits 10+ times a season (so are players like Salah and Saka which is why they are the best captain choices). I'm a Newcastle fan and Isak is consistent but has never scored a hattrick in his life while Watkins will find it tough with 8 CL games on top of his workload to match last season's output imo.
Not scared of Wood being a rotation risk with Awoniyi being younger and joined them in the US tour? Personally, I haven't had BOTH Salah and Haaland in any drafts, the team around them just are too bad balanced for my liking. Not to mention Sanchez who is a HUGE rotation risk!
@@Nixzy404 I think there will be a 4.5 Chelsea GK that’s nailed by the end of pre-season, plenty of time to change it, with awoniyi I don’t think he’s featured much at all in the pre-season tour with forest so far so for the first few gameweeks I’m pretty confident he’ll start every single one

I like Haaland but I have doubts whether he’s really worth £6m more than Watkins and £6.5m more than Isak
I understand your concerns but when haaland has 7/8 goals at the end of GW4 I’m sure we will see eye to eye x

(“He’ll” meaning Wood)😅
