One of the biggest talking points ahead of the deadline is Haaland, who is currently the fourth most sold player in FPL. The debate is understandable — he likely blanks in Gameweek 31 and then faces Chelsea and Arsenal in Gameweeks 32 and 33, while over the last 12 Gameweeks he has scored 44 points (3.66 per game) with nine forwards outscoring him.
However, selling him carries risk. Haaland faces West Ham this week, who have conceded the second-most goals in the league (52), and remains the Premier League’s top scorer with 22 goals. With 81.2% ownership in the top one million, going without him could be a huge rank swing.
In this guide we break down the key transfer trends, projections and whether the Algorithm’s Optimal Team backs him. 👇

🤔 What’s the Best Free Hit FPL Team for Gameweek 30?
The Algorithm has crunched the numbers and revealed its optimal squad — built to maximise points.
Haaland gets the armband against West Ham 🧢
Despite many selling, the Algorithm is backing him with the captaincy. Although both Gabriel & Ekitiké are just 0.1 behind his projected points, making them great alternatives. 📊
West Ham may have improved recently, but they have kept just one clean sheet at home all season and concede 1.93 goals on average per home game — the second highest in the league. ⚠️
The Algorithm is also targeting Liverpool’s home game against Spurs. The North London team have lost their last 5 Premier League games, haven’t won in 11, and have conceded 23 goals in that time — with only Burnley (24) conceding more. 📉
O. Dango stands out as the top differential. 🌟
He has returned 5 goals and 6 assists, with his assist tally the highest among Brentford players. He has also registered 6.31 xG and 13 ‘big chances’, suggesting he has been somewhat unlucky not to score more. Wolves at home could be the perfect game to make up for it. 👀
