Following Erling Haaland's (£14.0m) return from injury, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) experts weigh in on his reinstatement, potential replacements, and tactical formations, contemplating whether to opt for a 3-4-3 setup.

Lee Bonfield (@FPLFamily) affirms Haaland's importance, advising managers to reintroduce him, considering him as a potential captaincy choice for Gameweek 23.

Utkarsh Dalmia (@ZopharFPL) suggests exercising patience, anticipating that Haaland might not start immediately, favoring alternatives like Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) or Dominic Solanke (£7.1m) for a week.

Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily) regrets not having Haaland during his cameo against Burnley, expressing intent to swap Julian Alvarez for Haaland, foreseeing a shift in Alvarez's role with Haaland's return.

Ben Crabtree (@FC_CrabDogg) acknowledges Haaland's necessity but opts to delay the switch for another week, considering it an inevitable transition.

Gianni Buttice (@GianniButtice) acknowledges the readiness to bring Haaland back but prefers waiting until Gameweek 24 for certainty on his starting status, evaluating potential replacements and allowing time for decisions.

The experts' insights navigate FPL managers through the dilemma, suggesting strategic approaches based on team dynamics and fixture analysis, shaping tactical decisions for upcoming matches.
