Haaland's injury and upcoming UEFA Champions League ties mean now is the best time to remove him from your team as Pep Guardiola may not risk him against Southampton. I was originally planning to bring him back in for Gameweek 30, but may delay that until Double Gameweek 34 now.

Man City players are top of my wish list, starting with Haaland. I will then target a midfielder and defender before DGW34 so Grealish and Ruben Dias (£5.9m) are likely to come in.

If fit for GW30, I'll be bringing Haaland back in and spending the money I have saved in the bank specifically for that transfer. I'm keen to add to the Norwegian, possibly with Grealish as Phil Foden (£8.0m) is out for a few weeks.

Haaland is a case of monitor and see what happens for me. I have Grealish and Ilkay Gundogan (£7.3m) on my Man City watchlist. They have both looked interesting and will be among the conversation for DGW34.

I still own Haaland and hope he's fit for Southampton where he'll probably be my captain. Grealish has looked very good of late and is starting to return like he did at Aston Villa.

The fact that Haaland was not even fit for a substitute role against Liverpool tells me that he is some way off full fitness. I think managers can take the risk and go without the Norwegian until Gameweek 33 given his blank in Gameweek 32.

Thankfully, I still have Haaland and I am expecting him to be back for the weekend. However, I'd try to complement him with a further Man City asset. Grealish's 12-point haul against Liverpool has moved him to the top of my priority list.

Haaland is the key Man City asset and it will be dangerous not owning for the next few Gameweeks. However, due to their BGW32, one City player is sufficient until GW33 and DGW34.
