The GW11 captain in one line
Haaland is the model's captain for Gameweek 11: FUL (H), projected for 6.5 points. The bookmakers expect MCI to score 2.4. N.Jackson (5.5) and Rudoni (5.2) follow.
Safe, alternative and punt
Haaland MCI · £15.8m · 79.0% owned
The highest projection of any midfielder or forward this week: 6.5 points, FUL (H).
N.Jackson AVL · £7.1m · 30.2% owned
Second on the model at 5.5 points, SUN (H). Owned by fewer managers than Haaland, so a captaincy here gains more if it comes off.
Rudoni COV · £4.9m · 1.2% owned
The best projection among options owned by under 10%: 5.2 points, CRY (H). A risk, and a big gain on most rivals if he hauls.
