Haaland is scoring less goals than the expected despite finding quite many chances in the recent matches. He had chances to make a hat-trick in the West Ham and Crvena zvezda matches. Therefore I find it quite risky to make another player captain instead of him. Because I think Haaland will surge in in a short time.
Not picking Haaland as my captain has bitten me in the butt twice this season, I think that could be a big differential if done right and with lots of luck. On the other hand if you do it at the wrong time you will be left behind, all the way to the back. Which leaves me quite undecided, do I go with the majority and find other differentials or take some risks here and there and get paid off big?
You are already doing very good in the pool and if I am reading your username correctly then you are in 5th place.
It's more luck than skill to be honest. It's hard enough to pick 8 midfielders+forwards that will score on a given gameweek, let alone select one of those for double points. The whole reason Haaland's a popular captain pick is that his xG is at least 1 on any given GW. Only other player who comes close to this is Salah.
And the biggest problem of not giving the band to Haaland is that you need to be right almost every time. Usually when someone outscores Haaland it is by few points but when Haaland gets his day it is a shitload of points and you lose in one week what you were gaining in 5.

That was my biggest mistake last season, I could say that literally cost not ending up on one of the winners list because, I was so hell bent on having Mo Salah for majority the beginning of the season, especially when Liverpool were having supposedly easier fixture, but Salah just was inconsistent, even though he provided a lot of points and one of the most in his position, my decision of captaining him, while having TAA cost me the ability to have a more valuable midfield options due budget.
I'm playing the game of non loyalty this time around, I won't wait around too long for a player who wouldn't stay consistent, Haaland have been anywhere near his performance of last season, the but number of goals he could have scored, just shows it takes Haaland just one or two games, and he'd eclipse the entire captaincy points amassed by a captain selection of 2-3 weeks.

It is horrible that I was able to collect only 30 points for Gw5. Many of my players wasn't in the starting eleven this week and I lost so many points as I was able to get rid of Stones new who was in my substitutes. I would have still been the leader if I started the season with another player instead of Stones. And my budget would have been much more relieved. I will transfer another forward after getting rid of Jackson next week. I'm open for suggestions about this topic. 
Jackson is only one yellow card away from suspension. GET Alvarez for your piece of mind; he's in the best shape of his life right now, and with KDB and Kovasic out, he'll always play behind Halaand; he's the team's best creator right now. I might also get him.

In case you didn't hear, Rico Henry tore his ACL and is out for the rest of the season. so if you still have him then get him out now. It is even worse than having Kevin de Bruyne.
Yep, went to replace him - but this game just ain't for me.
I wanted to take Hickey, their RB instead. But amazing as I am, I misclicked and took Collins instead.
Now I'll have to use another transfer to replace him in 1-2 rounds because he's fooking useless.
Yes, Nunez. Yes, I know. Horrible week, completely my fault. Can;t believe we had goals flowing out of every corner but I scored lower than the average. I stare at all of you above me with envy.
Still delaying on Salah as budget doesn't allow but have moved Marsch out for Mbeumo. So creative huh?

Don't ever become a manager! Why in the name of Jesus Christ is Nunez still in your team?

Early transfer: Henry to Schar!
ACL is the new Hamstring this season. Crazy

From where appear this guys with 75 points? Well, ended up with 62 points in second position. Still nice and without Haaland, if i had him form the start i can be fighting at the top, thank you Harry Kane going to Bayern at last moment.

With the Champions league starting this week and Arsenal being in the competition, there will be lots of rotation in the team and Goalkeeper in the premier league for Arsenal in games will not be constant. Maybe I need to send Ramsdale out of my team as well, he is also not exactly the best with clean sheets too right now.
Who has Declan Rice? what do you think about him and his performance recently for Arsenal? Personally I feel he is becoming more comfortable, and also needs to learn to take his chances so he can at least have more goals to his name that will further help improve his confidence.

Arteta already said he would actively rotate members of his team but it's going to change if Raya ends up performing better than Ramsdale in the long haul. Ramsdale is too error prone so he'll most likely be one with less minute.
For Declan Rice, he has quickly become an integral part of Arsenal's midfield. But it's worth noting that his performance is solid but isn't worth it if he won't be raking in points from assists and goals. It's usually 2-3 points per GW although he popped 10 points in the 3-1 win against Man Utd.
Anyway, made my transfers early this time around to catch price rises. Mbuemo and Edouard are in, now waiting for injury news

If I could somehow squeeze out one of my 7.0 midfielders and throw Salah in without sacrificing the defense, that would be a huge squad upgrade. But I'm about 2.1m short of making that happen. Although I could throw out Chilwell and get Gusto to save 1.6m or so. I'm not sure if that's really worth it at this point though.
If we speak frankly, the start of the season looks pretty good for me. I made several decisions that paid off.Salah (starting with 1 game week) stably brought me glasses in every game week, I also made it my captain in that game week when he scored more points than Haaland. And even this week, Salah saved the position of the entire team, so I slowly go up in the ranking.
Udogie, Saliba ... Both of successful peaks while everyone else chose Chilwell and Gabriel ... I am very pleased with this election, although I seriously think about replacing Saliba with Digne (given the series of matches of Aston Villa). At the moment, the ideal protection for me is as follows: Udogie, Digne, Trippier, Gusto and 1 more (Estupiñán or Saliba).
I am not so sure about Estupinan nowadays as he's going to be dogged from running around in the Europa League and Premier League. So his minutes might get more restricted.
Matt Turner losing his clean sheet already and getting sagged 0 - 1 by Burnley at home, looks like the beginning of the end for his nailed starting position.

it is really challenging to have Haaland and Salah in your team, you probably want Salah due to being Liverpool fan, and respect for that, but how much are these two together, 25+% whole squad worthiness?
good round for me, defenders were keeping clean sheets, just need offense to start scoring some goals to support Erling

I'm seeing it will be really hard without Haaland so I'm slowly planning to incorporate him into my team. Still keeping Salah though,

You must transfer Isak out as soon as possible because he will be getting fewer minutes in the EPL with CL football around the corner.
Isak outJackson out
Ramsdale out
This will cost you -8 hits + 1FT if your balance is flexible for incomings, otherwise you will most likely go above -8 hits to make it happen. It's best to avoid Arsenal's goalkeepers because both will be regularly rotated.
I'm seeing it will be really hard without Haaland so I'm slowly planning to incorporate him into my team. Still keeping Salah though, Odegaard will be a sure victim of my new strategy but 1 more player will have to go as well. Looks like it will be Rashford, although I feel I'll regret that at some point in the season.
There's no way you'd make it through the FPL without Halaand; he's the only player who would never go 5 games without scoring in 3 or 4. Salah as captain is not a bad option, but we've seen him go 5 games without a goal far too frequently. How do you intend to integrate both players currently without suffering significant hits or activating WC?
