Have a feeling we will need to have strong benches this week.
The bench has been the weakest part of my team. I'd have to make a few changes in my starting lineup in order to have a somewhat acceptable bench. But I'm too lazy to do that lol
Anyway, Fantasy indicating that Haaland has 75% chance of playing. Im actually tempted to put him on the squad considering that Norway is not on world cup so there is no reason to really keep Haaland until he is 100% fit because he wont be playing in WC either way
On the other hand, there's no reason to rush him against a winnable side like Fulham.
I'm keeping Haaland in my starting XI, but if I had a good forward on my bench like Solanke, Mitro or Adams, I would totally rest haaland
I don't really see the need to rest Haaland, he isn't on the world cup and he will get plenty of rest. If he isn't ready I am expecting Pep to not risk him in last 20 minutes since City should dispatch Fulham quite easy.
My first sub on the bench is Zaha and I have no problem letting him cover in case Haaland/Foden/Wilson don't start. I am more concerned with Foden since I sort of expect Pep to give him just 15 minutes at the end. Even if all three don't play I also have Dunk and Andersen on bench to cover for them. They could all do well with a bit of luck but I am really hoping for City to start with both Haaland and Foden in first 11.
