FPL Gameweek 2 tips: Should you sell Manchester United assets?
BBC Sport's FPL expert advises patience after gameweek one and weighs in on the Erling Haaland versus Bruno Fernandes captaincy dilemma.
Fantasy Premier League
Following a turbulent first week of the Fantasy Premier League season, the main advice from BBC Sport's FPL expert is to remain patient. One blank does not define a player's season, and it is crucial to use data rather than chasing points.
Managers are questioning whether to dump Manchester United assets after their opening loss. However, holding steady this week is recommended. With a home fixture against Ipswich, players like Bruno Fernandes have a strong opportunity to provide an immediate response. Decisive exits should only be considered if they fail to perform again.
The captaincy debate centers on Erling Haaland against Bruno Fernandes. Despite the first-week disappointment, Fernandes is currently the preferred pick. The home fixture against Ipswich is viewed as more favorable, and the midfielder's potential for points via goals and clean sheets makes him a high-value captaincy choice.
Regarding other dilemmas, it is advised to wait on new prospects like Mamadou Sangare and remain patient with Alexander Isak, whose true form will be better assessed after his upcoming home match against Nottingham Forest.
