A record 7.3million Fantasy Premier League managers were left with a big smile on their face after Erling Haaland's (£14.0m) sensational performance in Manchester City's home encounter with Fulham.
No player has ever been backed for the armband in greater numbers, and that total rises to 7.5m once Triple Captains are included - also an all-time high.
And Haaland, having failed to net in his four previous matches at the Etihad Stadium, scored a hat-trick and supplied an assist in the champions' 5-1 win.

Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is a top differential choice.
Liverpool host Aston Villa on Sunday with Salah boasting a strong recent record versus the Villans. The Egyptian has produced an attacking return in each of his last six starts against them, notching five goals, three assists and 51 points.
Bukayo Saka (£8.7m) has been handed the armband by more than 138,000 as he completes the top three.

Encouragingly, Saka has scored in both of his home appearances this season, returning 18 points.
