<h2 data-start="199" data-end="297">Best Salah, Haaland and Fernandes FPL team</h2>
<p data-start="299" data-end="479">The moment you see someone mention they have 'Salah, Haaland, and Fernandes' in one FPL draft, your first instinct is probably that it's too top-heavy and that the rest of the team must have suffered.</p>
<p data-start="481" data-end="613">But what if I told you that this draft not only includes all three but it also manages to stay balanced across all areas of the pitch?</p>
<p data-start="615" data-end="640">Yes, you read that right. Let’s break it down.</p>
<h3 data-start="669" data-end="688">Why include the big three?</h3>
<p data-start="739" data-end="1094">They’re three of the most explosive point scorers in the game and if they start the season firing, having all of them could offer early season rank security.</p>
<p data-start="739" data-end="1094">Most FPL managers feel forced to pick two out of three - but this draft shows that with the right structure, it’s absolutely possible to own the full trio without gutting the rest of your team.</p>

<h3 data-start="1101" data-end="1129">Defence holds up</h3>
<p data-start="1131" data-end="1222">One of the surprises here is how strong the defence looks despite the star-studded attack.</p>
