In 2022/23 he scored an astonishing 36 objectives in 35 matches, incomes a staggering 272 factors within the course of. His objective tally dropped to 27 within the league final time period, however he nonetheless managed 212 factors in whole.

So, why the worth hike? Nicely, FPL have probably boosted his worth in an try and disrupt his possession and power managers to search for different choices. In spite of everything, only a few groups did not characteristic Haaland final season, with the Norway worldwide virtually all the time incomes the captain’s armband.
