Just a few days earlier against Everton, he scored what will surely be the Premier League Goal of the Month &#8211; a 30-yard <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SkySportsPL\/status\/1835019053850632217\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">strike<\/a> that dipped and swerved its way past a helpless Jordan Pickford, as fans have started to seriously take note of the talent the Colombian possesses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/06\/22\/everton-top-ten-signings-premier-league\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Ranking The Top Ten Everton Premier League Signings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While Ollie Watkins has the higher chance of starting against Wolves who are yet to win this season in the league, a contribution off the bench for Duran cannot be ruled out with the way he&#8217;s been playing recently. A goal this weekend would put him on four for the campaign, which could lead to a price rise, so get him before it&#8217;s too late.<\/p>\n<h3>Erling Haaland &#8211; Manchester City (vs Arsenal) &#8211; \u00a315.2 Million<\/h3>\n<p>The most expensive player in FPL, Mr. Robot himself Erling Haaland is this weekend&#8217;s high-price option. Somehow, the number of Haaland owners isn&#8217;t 100%, so this is a call for the ones that don&#8217;t have him to get him now! Despite drawing a blank in midweek against a well-drilled Inter Milan side, he&#8217;s had no issues bagging in the league, scoring nine in his first four games, securing two hattricks already as he narrowly missed out on breaking the record for three consecutive league hattricks, managing just the two goals against Brentford last weekend in a 2-1 comeback win for his side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/09\/19\/three-midfielders-fpl-gameweek-5\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">FPL Tips: Three Midfielders to Transfer In for Gameweek 5<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd4c413 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bd4c413\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-52e6ebe6 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"52e6ebe6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-312d2c08 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-info is-mac\" data-id=\"312d2c08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-info.default\">\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n<p>Despite Arsenal coming to town on Sunday, the expectation is that City will score, with the last time they failed to score at home in the league being back in March against the Gunners.
