Haaland (MCI) is the captain: 5.9 xP, is home to LEE, an average fixture. A captain scores double, so the 0.3-point gap to Barry is worth 0.6 on your rank.

Barry (EVE, 5.6 xP) is close enough that either is fine — go with the one you own.

Chasing rank? Rudoni (COV) is owned by 1.1% and projects 4.7 xP — a haul there moves you past almost everyone.

Transfer targets for the next 5 gameweeks: Barry (EVE, £5.7m, 27.4 xP, 10% owned); Gibbs-White (NFO, £7.8m, 23.2 xP, 9% owned); Van Hecke (TOT, £5.0m, 23.2 xP, 14% owned).

Template traps: João Pedro (34% owned, flagged) and Gvardiol (25% owned, flagged) — worth moving on before everyone else does.

Best enabler under £5.0m: Van Hecke (TOT, £5.0m, 23.2 xP over 5).

Expected points only — no hype. Every projection is locked before the deadline and scored on the record page.

How these picks are made

Expected points (xP) come from each player's expected goals and assists, minutes, defensive contributions, bonus and the opponent's strength, using FPL's official scoring.
