The big question for Erling Haaland owners going into gameweek six is whether to captain him for Manchester City's trip to Aston Villa, with Champions League football back on the agenda next week.
The big question for non-Erling Haaland owners is whether to try to get him into your team straight away - but with the same factors to consider.
Will Pep Guardiola give his supreme centre-forward a rest before the game in Sevilla on Wednesday or will he start him again and see how much damage he can do in another hour or so of football?
As seasoned fantasy football managers well know, it is impossible to second-guess Guardiola's team selections. But for what it's worth, I am actually leaning towards giving the captain's armband to Liverpool's Mohamed Salah for the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park this weekend, even though he's not scored in his past two games.
It feels the safer bet with Guardiola having already warned us this season that Haaland won't start each game when the fixtures are coming every three or four days. However, Salah also looked the safer bet in gameweek five and got outscored by 14 points if you captained one instead of the other.
