It's that time of year again, the Fantasy Premier League is back, with managers scrambling to get their squads ready in time before tonight's deadline.
One of the biggest questions heading into the new FPL season is whether to go for Erling Haaland. Worth £15million, the Manchester City star is the most expensive FPL player of all time.
Instead, points could be found in Haaland's differentials, one of which is new Tottenham Hotspur star Dominic Solanke.
After scoring 19 goals last season, Solanke has secured a costly move to north London, but will the striker be fit enough to start the Premier League season?
Ahead of the Premier League opening weekend, Express Sport I've compiled an update on FPL injuries.
Dominic Solanke doubtful for Spurs' opener

Joined in a £65million deal from Bournemouth, Solanke is seen as the perfect striker for Ange Postecoglou.
But, having played less than 90 minutes in pre-season for Bournemouth, Solanke may have to bide his time before being named on the Spurs team sheet.
More than 25% of players have selected the £7.5million (FPL price) man ahead of Tottenham's season opener against Leicester City, but a place on the bench – at least to start – appears the most likely outcome for Solanke this week.
The City duo are unlikely to be involved

The season hasn't even started yet and Pep Guardiola's team selections are already giving managers headaches.
But in the City boss's defence, there was nothing he could have done to prevent Oscar Bobb fracturing his leg in training this week.
Bobb, who is unlikely to be involved in City's opening game against Chelsea, could be joined in the treatment room by Jack Grealish, who missed last weekend's Community Shield win over Manchester United.
Vardy back, but not available?

Jamie Vardy is back in the deep end with Leicester City, having been knocked out of the Premier League last season following the Foxes' relegation.
While he may have been a highly regarded FPL pick in the past, managers would be better off looking elsewhere this season with Vardy unlikely to play a key role for Steve Cooper's side.
In fact, Vardy has played just zero minutes in Leicester's three pre-season friendlies, and the veteran is unlikely to be on the bench on Monday.
High-scoring defensive duo likely to miss game

Finding a defender who can score points could be the difference between a good FPL team and a great one.
Fabian Schar was certainly one of them last season, but the centre-back limped off in Newcastle United's final pre-season game last weekend, making him a doubt to start against Southampton.
Likewise, Everton ace Jarrad Branthwaite is unlikely to be fit for the Toffees' opening clash against Brighton & Hove Albion.
