Haaland will again be the most-selected armband pick for Manchester City's home match with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Owned by a massive 81.9 per cent of managers, he has averaged 13.6 points per match at the Etihad Stadium in his debut Fantasy campaign.

However, Salah's record against promoted sides looks very encouraging for Liverpool's visit to Nottingham Forest.

Indeed, he has 49 points in his last four away meetings with such opponents, including a 12-point return at Fulham in Gameweek 1.

In-form options

Both clubs boast further in-form options for the armband.

Man City full-back Joao Cancelo (£7.3m) has three double-figure hauls in his five home matches, while Phil Foden (£8.4m) has amassed 30 points in his last two at the Etihad.

Darwin Nunez (£8.8m), meanwhile, has scored in each of his last two starts for Liverpool.

Elsewhere, midfield trio Bukayo Saka (£7.9m), James Maddison (£8.2m) and Jarrod Bowen (£8.1m) all have very favourable fixtures to continue their fine form.

Leicester City midfielder Maddison visits Wolverhampton Wanderers on the back of three goals, an assist and 28 points in his last four outings.

Saka has blanked only once in his last seven appearances ahead of Arsenal's trip to Southampton.

Bowen, meanwhile, has two goals, an assist and 21 points in his previous two home matches, and now entertains AFC Bournemouth.

More home comfort for Kane?

His West Ham United team-mate Gianluca Scamacca (£6.8m) has also scored in each of his last two at home, amassing 17 points.

Finally, Harry Kane (£11.4m) takes on Newcastle United at home on the back of only one blank in his last 10 outings.

The Tottenham Hotspur forward has scored in four successive home matches, collecting 34 points in that run.

GW13 deadline: 11:00 BST, Sat 22 Oct
