Erling Haaland: The Default Selection

With 11 goals already this season, Haaland is the top choice for many Dream Team managers. His recent impressive performance against Brighton and Young Boys has solidified his position as the best performer in Gameweek 9.

Tempting Alternatives

Despite Haaland's popularity, there are some tempting alternatives to consider. Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash could have a field day against relegation-threatened Luton. Arsenal's Bukayo Saka, with his impressive points-per-game average, will be eager to face Sheffield United's struggling defense. And Mohamed Salah, who has scored 35 points in the last two Gameweeks, is a strong contender.

Booster Strategies

While Boosters are typically best used during double Gameweeks, there are still some options for Gameweek 10. A back five of Cash, Alexander-Arnold, White, Porro, and Trippier looks promising for a defensive approach. The Max Captain Booster can provide peace of mind but carries the risk of wasting it if Haaland performs well. The 12th Man Booster could be used to strengthen the forward line but is better saved for a double Gameweek.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to Haaland or a favorable fixture. While the Manchester derby may seem appealing for captaincy, there are more appealing opportunities to come later in the season.
