<h2 data-start="199" data-end="297">Bakar's best Salah and Haaland draft</h2>
<p>The case for owning both Salah and Haaland is easy to understand.</p>
<p>These are two of the most prolific scorers in Premier League history and naturally, every FPL manager wants a share of their explosive potential.</p>
<p>Including both gives you a built-in safety net - if either starts the season on fire, you’re covered.</p>
<p>The common belief is that a Salah/Haaland combination leaves the rest of the squad heavily weakened.</p>
<p>But this particular draft challenges that assumption.</p>
