Erling Haaland has made Fantasy Premier League history by becoming the most captained player EVER for a single gameweek.
The 22-year-old phenom has scored NINE goals in just five games for Manchester City, having bagged back-to-back hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest.
He's a monstrous player on the pitch and equally devastating on FPL - racking up a whopping 58 points since the start of the 2022/23 season.
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.
🔝 @ErlingHaaland is now the most captained player EVER for a single #FPL Gameweek!

Haaland will fancy his chances of increasing his goal tally considering the form of Steven Gerrard's team.
They've lost four of their five league matches, conceding nine goals.
