Manchester City travel to Sheffield United on Sunday following a 1-0 win over Newcastle United last time out.
Encouragingly for his backers, Haaland has averaged 9.2 points per start against promoted sides, including a 13-point haul at Burnley in the opening match of 2023/24 Fantasy.
An additional 196,481 have used their Triple Captain chip on the Norwegian, meaning a record 78.2 per cent of all managers in Fantasy have backed Haaland with either armband.
Over 258,000 managers turned to Bukayo Saka (£8.6m) as their differential captain for Arsenal's home encounter with Fulham on Saturday, and he converted a penalty to deliver eight points.
