What happened. BBC Sport's FPL experts debated key questions ahead of the season, including whether Erling Haaland justifies his record £15.5m price.

• Holly Shand notes Haaland's fast starts but flags World Cup fatigue.
• Pras says Haaland is essential for captaincy in gameweeks one and three.
• Haaland looked leggy in Sunday's Community Shield.

“At a record £15.5m he still looks essential because captaincy matters so much early on.”

— Pras

The FPL season starts Friday, with experts weighing Haaland's value against other picks like Rogers and Palmer.
