There are a few captain choices for game week 3, but the Fantasy Premier League managers will think twice should they want to ignore Erling Haaland’s (FWD, 15.1m) match against West Ham after his hat-trick in the match against Ipswich and the goal against Chelsea.

However, it’s not only the fantastic form of the Norway international and his attacking returns in the first two game weeks of the new season of the Premier League. Additionally, there are statistics that could change the minds of many who want to go with another captain in game week 3.
Haaland ‘loves’ to play against Julien Lopetegui’s teams, as he has scored 10 goals and provided 1 assist in 5 matches by now.
His last attackin returns against Lopetegui’s team was against Wolverhampton in the season 2022/23, where he scored a hat-trick, and against the same opponent, in the same season he netted one goal. Before that, there were 4 goals and 1 assist in two matches for Borrusia Dortmund against Sevilla and 2 goals in Manchester City shirt against the same opponent later.
