Haaland’s strike against Fulham means he now has four goals in his last six Gameweeks — with only Thiago (six) scoring more among forwards in that spell.
Across the same period, the Norwegian leads all players for shots in the box (21) and shots on target (13). He also ranks second only to Thiago for both big chances (eight vs 10) and Expected Goals (xG) (4.21 vs 5.69).
As shown in the image below from our Player Heatmaps feature, Haaland has also excelled at home this season, averaging 9.0 FPL points per match.

Their visitors Sunderland have conceded eight goals in the same spell and are yet to keep a clean sheet. The promoted side rank bottom for shots in the box conceded (72) and 18th for expected goals conceded (10.53), highlighting just how tough this fixture could be for them.
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Haaland is projected to score 7.7 points this Gameweek.
Saka has returned 33 FPL points over the last six Gameweeks, scoring twice and providing one assist — and after his midweek rest, he should be nailed to start.
