Safe, alternative and punt
B.Fernandes MUN · £11.9m · 37.8% owned
The highest projection of any midfielder or forward this week: 7.9 points, TOT (H).
Saka ARS · £9.6m · 16.4% owned
Second on the model at 7.7 points, LEE (H). Owned by fewer managers than B.Fernandes, so a captaincy here gains more if it comes off.
E.Le Fée SUN · £5.7m · 3.2% owned
The best projection among options owned by under 10%: 6.1 points, BHA (H). A risk, and a big gain on most rivals if he hauls.
