No Haaland but Mbeumo in – our FPL team of the week

No Haaland but Mbeumo in - our FPL team of the week

Despite being burned by him last time out, we still can't find a place for Erling Haaland – fresh from two Manchester derby goals – in the FPL team of the week.

Like most weeks, it is a choice between the two big guns – Haaland and Mohamed Salah.

While Liverpool forward Salah has eight goals in 11 games against opponents Everton, Haaland faces an Arsenal defence that has yet to concede from open play. It feels like a simple decision.

What you do long term with those two assets is a different question, and FPL expert Gianni Buttice and the team from the FPL Podcast from BBC Sport will be debating that in Friday morning's Talking Point article. Keep an eye out for that one.

The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.

Don't miss our FPL special week three Q&A with expert Gianni Buttice live on the BBC Sport website at 15:30 BST on Friday, 19 September.

Losing Yoane Wissa to injury was a blow but captain Salah (18 points) and a clean-sheet clean sweep helped the side stutter to a respectable 57 points.

Quick take: Big picture: the update fits broader trends across the league with schedule pressure and tight tables. Supporters will watch for clarity from training ground reports and official briefings. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
