<h2 class="p1"><span class="s1">Sky Sports Fantasy Football must-have picks</span></h2>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Who are the best Sky picks that you can’t afford to go without in Gameweek 1?</span></p>
<ul>

</ul>
<h3 class="p1">Erling Haaland (£12.0m)</h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">It goes without saying that not owning the Norwegian striker would be very risky. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">With 36 goals last season and 312 points, he’s a must-have unless he's injured. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If you don’t own him on the first night and the majority have him as captain and he bangs in a couple of goals, that’s 28 points as captain.<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Do you want to risk that? He's in 77.09% of teams currently and I expect that to rise come opening night.</span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Lewis Dunk (£8.3m)</h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1"> The Brighton captain is massively underpriced in my opinion - a bit of an error on Sky’s part. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Surely at that price, every experienced Sky manager will own him?</span></p>

</ul>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">He scored 188 points last season, 81 of those purely from passing bonus. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">No one made more passes than Dunk last season with 3,208 and he was the second-highest scorer of bonus points.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_55319" style="width: 1292px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-55319" class="size-full wp-image-55319" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Passing-stats-2022-23.jpg" alt="" width="1282" height="753" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-55319" class="wp-caption-text">Lewis Dunk topped the charts for passing</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Andre Onana (£7.3m)</h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Manchester United’s new goalkeeper comes in considerably cheaper than <strong>Alisson</strong> and <strong>Ederson</strong> at £8m and £7.8m respectively. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">When you also see that he is just 0.2m more than <strong>Emiliano Martinez</strong> and £0.3m more than <strong>Jordan Pickford</strong> I really think he’s worth starting with. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If he turns out to be useless we can get rid, but for me I really think he could be a pick and stick.</span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">He retired from international duty after being sent home from the World Cup in Qatar, so unless he changes his decision he should be good when the Africa Cup of Nations takes place too. </span></p>
<h3>Enzo Fernandez (£8.4m)</h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Chelsea’s record signing racked up 53 points from bonus alone and 92 points overall - despite only signing in January.</span></p>
<p>He has a good chance of making both bonus tiers on a regular basis, although it remains to be seen whether he'll get as many points under new manager Mauricio Pochettino.</p>
<h2>Sky enablers</h2>
<p>I've got my eyes on a couple of cheaper players too.</p>
<h3>Levi Colwill (£7.5m)</h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">If Colwill can start more often than not, he could be a great option. He should get passing bonus and clean sheets if Pochettino can improve Chelsea somewhat. One to keep an eye on for sure. With injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile he should have a good chance to start the season. However Chelsea have also signed Axel Disasi so there is further competition for starts. </span></p>
<h3>Marvelous Nakamba (£6.6m)</h3>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Luton's new signing will see plenty of interest from Sky managers. And it’s not from his three goals in 227 appearances. </span></p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">Nakamba averaged 4.3 tackles per game in the Championship for Luton last season. Hopefully this means he'll manage tackle bonus aplenty. He could be this season's <strong>Joao Palhinha (£7.9m)</strong>. </span></p>
