Manchester City forward Erling Haaland has set a new record as the most expensive player in Fantasy Premier League history. As clubs gear up for the upcoming season, attention is shifting to Fantasy Premier League with player prices being unveiled. The reveal began with Manchester City announcing that Haaland will cost a staggering £15m, surpassing the previous record.
Haaland's price hike comes after an impressive season where he scored 27 goals and provided five assists in 31 league appearances. In the 2022/23 season, his debut in the Premier League, Haaland accumulated 272 points by scoring 36 goals and assisting eight times in 35 league matches.
Despite not being the highest points scorer, Haaland was the most selected player by the end of the season, with a 73% selection rate. His average of 7.0 points per game was the best among forwards. Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, and Ollie Watkins were among the top points earners, with Haaland finishing fifth overall.
Manchester City's fixtures for the upcoming season indicate a relatively favorable start, with three out of their first four games rated as two out of five for difficulty. FPL players have a budget of £100m to assemble a 15-player squad, making decisions on premium players like Haaland crucial for success.
As the new season approaches, fans and FPL enthusiasts will be eagerly analyzing player prices and strategizing their squads for the upcoming campaign. With Haaland leading the way as the most expensive player, expectations will be high for the Norwegian forward to deliver once again in Fantasy Premier League.
