Haaland (MCI) is the captain: 6.2 xP, is home to CHE, a tough fixture. A captain scores double, so the 0.9-point gap to Barry is worth 1.8 on your rank.

Barry (EVE, 5.3 xP) is the vice-captain call.

Chasing rank? Gibbs-White (NFO) is owned by 9.3% 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.
