Isak's FPL Philosophy
Isak revealed a competitive streak when it comes to his FPL performance, stating, "I much better love to hear when people have transferred me out then I score two goals."

Despite his prowess on the field, Isak was quick to acknowledge the FPL dominance of Erling Haaland.
"You must have Haaland, unfortunately," Isak admitted, recognising the Norwegian striker's immense impact on both real and fantasy football.
The Numbers Game
The statistics back up Isak's assessment:
Erling Haaland:
FPL Value: £15.3m
Form Score: 11.8
Total Points: 54
Goals: 9 in 4 matches
Alexander Isak:
FPL Value: £8.4m
Form Score: 3.0
Total Points: 17
These numbers illustrate the considerable gap between Haaland and other premium strikers in the FPL landscape, justifying Isak's recommendation to include the Manchester City star in FPL teams.
Upcoming Fixtures
As FPL managers ponder their selections for the upcoming gameweek, they'll be keeping a close eye on both strikers:
)
Haaland and Manchester City host Arsenal who are not scared of the Norwegian at the Etihad Stadium while Isak and Newcastle United travel to London to face Fulham.
These fixtures present opportunities for both players to add to their FPL points tallies, with Haaland facing a tough test against title rivals Arsenal, while Isak will be hoping to punish any FPL managers who may have transferred him out before the Fulham match.

Isak's comments offer a fascinating glimpse into how Premier League players view their FPL status.
While acknowledging Haaland's must-have status, Isak's competitive spirit shines through, reminding FPL managers that there's always potential for unexpected performances to shake up the fantasy football landscape.
