NO FREE HIT IN GAMEWEEK 29: PLAYERS TO TARGET
ERLING HAALAND
Manchester City host Brighton and Hove Albion in Blank Gameweek 29, before Leicester City visit the Etihad in Gameweek 30.
It creates an opportunity to bring in and captain Erling Haaland (£14.7m) when his ownership will be relatively low.
You will likely need to sell one of Mohamed Salah (£13.8m) or Alexander Isak (£9.5m) to fund it. If you plan to Wildcard in Gameweek 30 or 31, it could be worth it, as you can just buy them back after.
Of course, you might lose a bit of value, but perhaps now is the time to go on the offensive and forget about team value anyway.
Haaland is currently the top-rated player in the RMT ratings for Blank Gameweek 29. He has plundered seven goals and two assists in his last eight Premier League starts, a period that has seen him average 7.5 points per match.
