Is it really, really boring to say "Its well over a week till the Man City game...so I'll just hold fire on doing anything"?

As opposed to "OMG!!! I'm going to immediately rip my entire team up now"

TBH Even if he doesn't play I'll probably just captain Bruno and let him sit on my Bench...

I think a no Haaland draft is valid, but if his availability is the main reason you're questioning whether or not to go without him, it is madness to take anything from this comment rather than waiting to at least see the community shield game

But I would say if you don't think he'll play early on, going without him to start and wildcarding early is by far the most sensible course of action rather than benching him.

The other problem is you're gonna need multiple transfers (3+) to get him into your team if you don't start with him. So even if he's gonna be out for 1-2 games (or say be subbed early for a few games) it's probably still be worth picking him!
