Captain room

Not just who scores most, but who moves your rank. That depends on how many rivals already own and captain them.

★ The pick

Haaland, and the field agrees

Haaland leads on expected points at 7.2 and is already owned by 73.9% of managers. There is no clever alternative this week: taking him keeps pace with the field, and the players who would move your rank are not close enough on points to justify the risk.
