Erling Haaland has made Fantasy Premier League history by becoming the most captained player EVER for a single gameweek.

And ahead of Man City's Premier League trip to Aston Villa, a staggering 5,398,620 FPL users have captained the Norwegian sensational.

That's an FPL record, breaking Mohamed Salah's record. The Liverpool star was captained by 5,139,561 in gameweek 17 of last season.

Haaland will fancy his chances of increasing his goal tally considering the form of Steven Gerrard's team.
