2025 Fantasy Outlook
Haaland was once again the club's leading scorer in his third season with City, providing a typical season by the Norwegian's standards. However, his 22 goals in the league were still his lowest since joining despite seeing more pitch time than his sophomore campaign, with his goal tally having decreased every season with the club. While 22 goals in a season isn't a bad tally, the striker reached 36 in his debut campaign, a mark he will now have to attempt to meet every season. He finished third in the Golden Boot race and seems unlikely to let up any ground moving forward unless hindered by injuries. With a handful of world-class players around him and more than enough prolific distributors of the ball, a minimum of 20 goals seems to be the floor for the forward, with the ceiling only as high as he sets it.
Training Wednesday
Haaland (knee) has taken part in training sessions prior to Saturday's meeting with Newcastle.
ANALYSIS
Haaland could aim to regain his usual spot up front after missing the FA Cup matchup versus Salford City last weekend. The striker should be one of the top scoring threats in the league as soon as he's able to resume a major role, having produced three goals and two assists over his last four starts. On the other hand, Omar Marmoush will likely head back to the bench when Haaland returns to action.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Real Madrid to make new approach?
Real Madrid are expected to make an approach to sign Haaland if they don't sign Vinicius Junior to a new contract, according to SPORT.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old forward is one of the top options to replace Vinicius Junior at the Bernabeu, as it seems Real Madrid aren't willing to meet the Brazilian's contract demands. For what it's worth, club president Florentino Perez is a long-term admirer of Haaland, although Manchester City aren't expected to entertain offers for the Norwegian star.
