Captain Call

Gameweek 2 captain: B.Fernandes

The call on the house squad, filed before the deadline. Not your team, which is the only reason you're allowed to read it.

The case against
Mbeumo: B.Fernandes projects +1.5 ep higher this week.

The room argued

Arjun Sharma

Fernandes projects 6.45 points this week, 1.47 clear of Mbeumo at 4.98. The gap is real and it is projection, not preference.

Luca Ferretti

The 3-5-2 gives us width and allows Fernandes to operate centrally where he hurts teams most. Pep would approve of the compactness.

Klaus Brandt

The bank holds zero. We cannot upgrade. The transfer hold is not timidity, it is the mathematically correct answer when there is no clear acquisition target within the available resource.

Dr. Rachel Okafor

Raya replaces Kinsky and Shaw replaces N.Williams. The file shows both starters project higher. I have noted it. I am noting it again.

Jimmy MacLeod

Manchester United are priced at 21/50 to beat Ipswich. I would take that all day. The armband sits in the right place.

Fernandes won the room on projection; Okafor flagged the shape change, MacLeod wanted the formation argument on record.
