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.
Dealing with ongoing back issue
Haaland has been suffering from a sore back and could be in line to miss future matches for Manchester City. According to manager Pep Guardiola, "At the end he was exhausted, a lot of pain in his back, he was suffering the last few days. It's so demanding and he will take a break a little bit to the last games" per Tyrone Marshall of the Manchester Evening News.
ANALYSIS
With six matches already played in all competitions, Haaland has unable to properly rest an ongoing back injury, which seems like it could be a small cause of concern for the forward. With a League Cup matchup midweek, it is unlikely that the forward will play, pending on his fitness level and pain tolerance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
City won't listen to offers
Manchester City aren't expected to listen to offers for Haaland, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Real Madrid and Barcelona are interested in making a move for Haaland, but City won't listen to offers for their star forward. Haaland, who's enjoying an excellent start to the 2025/26 season, is far more likely to sign a new deal with City rather than push for a move away from the Etihad Stadium.
